Firefoot 02-08-2005 07:15 PM

Oui.
 
Sophia - 5
Lindo - 3.5
NK -1

And Sophia wins... but a 10th question anyway:

10. What is the Roll, and what is at the top?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-08-2005 09:59 PM

The roll is the list of hobbits who participated in the Battle of Bywater. At the top are the names of the Captains, Meriadoc and Peregrin.

How the heck did I remember that without looking?

Sophia

Firefoot 02-09-2005 06:17 AM

Correct on both counts.

And the winner is Sophia. Take it away. :)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-09-2005 05:00 PM

And the new topic is...
 
"Eliminated Characters", along with this goes characters whose roles in the Legendarium were greatly changed between their first appearance and their final form.

1. Name two roles of the character Erinti and who she later became.

Lindolirian 02-09-2005 05:09 PM

Good Topic, tough question
 
She was the guardian of the stars and handmaided of Varda. I believe she changed her name to Ilmarė and then became Queen of Tol Eressėa?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-09-2005 09:27 PM

I'll take that. ;) My favorite part of her history is that she was originally the daughter of Manwe and Varda.

Lindolirian- 1

2. This unconventional hobbit evolved into a character famed for his film filthiness.

The Saucepan Man 02-09-2005 09:32 PM

Trotter -> Aragorn

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-09-2005 09:42 PM

Right you are.
 
However, I didn't expect that question to go so fast, so it will take me a minute to cook up the next one.

Lindolirian-1
Saucepan-1

Will edit in #3 as soon as I've finalized the wording. ;)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-10-2005 10:30 PM

Who was the possible son of Balin and companion of Gloin, and who replaced him?

Gil-Galad 02-11-2005 08:24 AM

Thorin Oakenshield, and i beleive Dain Ironfoot replaced him as king under the mountain....

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-11-2005 12:53 PM

nope. Remember, we're looking for a character who didn't make it into the final story, at least under their original name.

Sophia

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-17-2005 09:47 AM

I'm looking at Return of the Shadow. If you're that type, I could look in the Index and find something interesting...

Firefoot 07-28-2005 08:49 AM

The horse's name was Rochallor. Nahar was Oromė's horse. :cool:

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-28-2005 08:51 AM

You know you haven't read the Legendarium in months if simplest things like this slip off your mind.

Firefoot 07-28-2005 04:00 PM

The Noldor had swords while Teleri at Alqualondė had mostly bows (though I imagine they must have had some swords... you can't fight a battle of swords vs. bows).
