Teiglin, Sirion, Mindeb, Esgalduin, Aros, and Celon.

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-25-2006 10:21 AM

Sure, your turn.

Lindolirian 01-31-2006 05:19 PM

Name all of the rivers (in the north west of Middle Earth, Third Age) that have a color in the name.

Firefoot 01-31-2006 05:50 PM

How about...
 
Gwathlo (gray)
Brandywine (brown, I think)
Lhun (blue)
Carnen (red)
Morthond (black)
Greylin (duh)

Lindolirian 01-31-2006 10:28 PM

Yeah I think that just about covers it. Good work!

Elu Ancalime 04-02-2006 08:06 PM

Firefoot 04-03-2006 01:53 PM

...Right.
 
Name, in order, all the hills/mountain ranges that Frodo crossed on his journey between its start in the Shire and its "end" in Mordor.

Tuor of Gondolin 04-25-2006 10:48 AM

How about:

The Barrowdowns
The Weather Hills
The Trollshaws
The Misty Mountains
The Emyn Muil
Ered Duath
Orodruin?

Firefoot 04-25-2006 02:24 PM

It's Ephel Duath, not Ered Duath, but otherwise fine. Go ahead.

Tuor of Gondolin 04-26-2006 11:20 AM

Okay. Name, in order, the various significant
water features that Tuor encountered/
traveled on throughout his life.

Goldberry101 05-03-2006 05:18 PM

This is probably wrong, and missing a lot, but here goes...

Cirith Nin-niach
Pools of Ivrin
Sirion
Narog
Bay of Balar
Belegaer

I wasn't sure if a couple counted, or if to put them on twice if he traveled on them twice.

Tuor of Gondolin 05-04-2006 06:31 AM

Hmm. A good job by Goldberry 101 .
. I think at least two bodies, one mentioned (Sirion),
should be cited twice. Remember, "body of water" isn't limited by
size. So I suppose at least nine names (at least two repeats)
should be in a longer list. (I'm not counting, although perhaps
they should be, the fountains of Gondolin---since they're
artificial).

Cirith Nin-niach
Pools of Ivrin
Sirion
Narog
Bay of Balar
Belegaer

Goldberry101 05-06-2006 07:48 AM

How's this? Some are probably wrong...

Lake Mithrim
Cirith Nin-Niach
Belegaer?
Pools of Ivrin
Sirion
Narog
Sirion?
Bay of Balar
Belegaer

Tuor in Gondolin 05-08-2006 07:38 AM

That's the major ones. I think there could be four more
water features (three of them rivers), although the
rivers are just passed briefly. Your work is good enough,
but if you care try for the others, if not I'll list them.

1.Lake Mithrim
2.Cirith Ninniiach
3.
4.Belegaer
5.Pools of Ivrin
6.
7.
8.
9.Sirion
10.Narog
11.Sirion
12.Bay of Balar
13.Belegaer

Goldberry101 05-08-2006 05:59 PM

Here's another try...not sure on them though

1.Lake Mithrim
2.Cirith Ninniiach
3.Definately not sure...perhaps the Linewen?
4.Belegaer
5.Pools of Ivrin
6.Narog (is very close to Pools of Ivrin...maybe encountered?)
7.Teiglin
8.Malduin
9.Sirion
10.Narog
11.Sirion
12.Bay of Balar
13.Belegaer

Tuor of Gondolin 05-09-2006 05:51 AM

Good work, Goldberry101 .
The three rivers (Narog, Teiglin, and
Malduin) are mentioned in passing in UT.
For number three I was thinking of the Firth
of Drengist. I don't know that there's definite
indications of Tuor seeing the Linaewen.
Your turn.

1.Lake Mithrim
2.Cirith Ninniiach
3.(Firth of Drengist)
4.Belegaer
5.Pools of Ivrin
6.Narog
7.Teiglin
8.Malduin
9.Sirion
10.Narog
11.Sirion
12.Bay of Balar
13.Belegaer

Goldberry101 05-10-2006 04:58 PM

I don't know any. Someone else can go if they want to. If no one goes within a day or two, then I'll think of one.

Goldberry101 05-15-2006 05:53 PM

Won't someone go? I am afraid if I ask one I would get the answer wrong.

Rune Son of Bjarne 06-11-2006 08:04 PM

Hey we all make mistakes sometimes, I my self have made several and when I have to keep track of several quizes, I often get very confused.

Ok I will ask an easy one just to get us going!

which two rivers met at the Meres of Twilight ?

keghobbit 07-20-2006 10:46 AM

Aros and Sirion meet there.

Rune Son of Bjarne 07-20-2006 12:46 PM

keghobbit I love you !
 
Right you are. . . your turn-

Rune Son of Bjarne 04-05-2008 11:25 PM

Rune: Hello Thread, how have you been?

The Thread: I have been feeling just awful, I thought everybody had forgotten about me.

Rune: I didn't and now I found you

The Thread: About time. . .

:eek:

Anyways it seems that after almost two years it is now time for a new question.

Name two tributarys of the river Teiglin

Iaurhirwen 04-09-2008 02:34 AM

The River Teiglin has 3 tributaries:
  • Glithui
  • Malduin
  • Celebros

*Gets the thread a blanket and a hot bowl of chicken soup*

Rune Son of Bjarne 04-09-2008 07:01 AM

right you are, I hand the thread over to you. . . please take good care of it.
