hmmmm - Dargor Aglareb was the third and not the second of the great battles of Beleriand. Dargor-nuin-Giliath (The Battle under the Stars) was the second...

From SILM:

Cheers T

phooey.. not a lucky guess then... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] how stupid of me! well, I've been mixing them up before...
You are the one to ask, Telchar!

What Battle was fought on January 23-25 - 3019 - Third Age?

How on earth did you ever think of that? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

it is the battle between the Balrog and Gandalf

greetings,
lathspell

P.S.: the next question, quite easy, is: what is the last battle fought in LotR?

The Battle of Bywater ?
and by the way, the battle between Gandalf and the Balrog lasts from January 15 where they both fall from the destruction of the bridge. They enter the summit of Zirak-Zigil on January 23 and on the 25th Gandalf casts down his foe. (All dates from The Tale of Years in the appendix) So the Battle in question in very specific and has a name: The Battle of the Peak

Gandalf telling in 'The White Rider, TTT': [ October 11, 2002: Message edited by: Telchar ]

I see. Well, your answer is good anyway, so please ask another.

Easy one: In what battle was Fingolfin killed?

Ha, a trick question!
'Twas no battle, but a duel with Morgoth [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hehe - right and wrong - I was actually looking for the name of the battle wherein the duel took place ... name it and its all yours [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Then that would be the fourth Battle for Control of Beleriand: Dagor Bragolach, the Battle of Sudden Flame [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Perfect Childlike Empress - Go on... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Tell me the fate of each Dwarf in the Quest for Erebor. (I figure this is ok because they were in the Battle of Five Armies, in which some died) You can add Bilbo's fate if you really want to, but don't have to, since we all know what happened to him. Ditto Gandalf. heehehe [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

If you mean what was their fate in the time of LotR:

- Thorin: died in the Battle of the Five Armies
- Dwalin: alive
- Balin: dead as Lord of Moria
- Oin: taken by the Watcher in the Water
- Gloin: alive, meeting Frodo in Rivendell
- Ori: dead, probably in moria
- Nori: alive
- Dori: alive
- Bifur: alive
- Bofur: alive
- Bombur: alive, being so fat that it takes six young dwarves to lift him
- Fili: died protecting Thorin in the Battle of the Five Armies
- Kili: died protecting Thorin in the Battle of the Five Armies

I believe I've got them all now
I think you meant this... anyway, I can answer later again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

greetings,
lathspell

Yes, that's what I meant [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

alright [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

who invented Golf and in what Battle did that happen?

I'm fairly sure that the Bullroarer (Brandobras Took) invented golf when he knocked off Golfimbul the Orc's head in the Battle of Greenfields in T.A. 2747, S.R. 1147.

Correct in all ways, Eruhen!

Please go on!

greetings,
lathspell

It help to have FotR next to the computer when you answer these questions! Anyway...

When was the battle of Eriador, and who were the participants?

I couldn't find this Battle anywhere! DO you mean when Sauron overrun Eriador in 1700 S.A.?

I'm sorry, that's it. I didn't have RotK with me when I posted that. Go ahead.

In what Battle did Eorl the Young die and in what year did that happen?

greetings,
lathspell

hmm... I know he died in battle with Easterlings in/on The Wold in TA2545, but I can remember the name of the battle. Maybe as simple as 'The battle of The Wold' ?

Well, I wish to resurrect this thread. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

In what battle was Marhari slain?

He was slain in the Battle of the Plains.

Muy bien! Ask away. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

In what battle was Artamir slain and who was he?

tricksy one - using Unfinished Tales...

Artamir was an heir to the throne of Gondor. He was slain in the battle with the wainriders. His father and younger brother Faramir both died there also, leaving no direct heir to the throne.

Very good. Your turn.

Great.

What battle last for 50 years?

Bonus points: what prize was recovered and by whom?

The Last Alliance before Mount Doom?

No, 'twas not in the Second Age.

Were they the Battles of Beleriand?

The "Battles of Beleriand" were 5 different battles in the War of Beleriand. It wasn't one battle.

No, but Beleriand was affected.

edit- gravely affected...

[ March 03, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

I realize that, I just can't remember any of the battles lasting 50 years. I thought maybe they were being combined to span a period of time.

The War of Dwarves and Orcs?

Well it was actually a bit less than 50 years, I am sorry for not double checking first.

The War of Wrath is the answer, approx. 42 years in length, ending with the destruction of Beleriand at the end of the First Age.

Feel free to take it whoever would like!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Tar, that was a real stumper. Since we couldn't get it how about posting another!

Ok,

In the Dagor Dagorath:
- who will be the enemy??
- what 3 will lead charge against him??
- and who will deliver the killing stroke??
