Isildur

Theodred21 02-20-2002 09:39 AM

Hey Telchar, long time no see! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] How have you been? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orald 02-20-2002 11:17 AM

Nope and nope. It was neither Anarion nor Isildur. Think about the hint some more.

Theodred21 02-21-2002 10:34 AM

Amandil

Elenhin 02-21-2002 01:51 PM

Hm.. Herendil.
(IIRC, that's what Elendil's son was called in the Lost Road.)

Orald 02-22-2002 01:47 AM

You got it Elenhin. You go.

Elenhin 02-23-2002 05:31 AM

Who were Damrod and Díriel?

Voronwe 02-24-2002 09:24 AM

The former names of Amrod and Amras, the twin sons of Fëanor. Damrod's name was later given to one of the men under Faramir's command in Ithilien.

Elenhin 02-24-2002 10:16 AM

Correct, go on Voronwe.

Voronwe 02-24-2002 06:04 PM

From what house of the Edain was Erendis descended?

Mat_Heathertoes 02-24-2002 06:40 PM

The House of Bëor

Voronwe 02-25-2002 11:27 AM

Quite correct. Proceed.

Mat_Heathertoes 02-25-2002 04:01 PM

Who is Lady of the Isle of Tol Eressëa ?

Bruce MacCulloch 02-25-2002 04:13 PM

Meril-i-Turinqi

Mat_Heathertoes 02-25-2002 04:49 PM

As usual ... Bruce cleaves the webs of doubt with his mattock of truth ....over to he ....

Bruce MacCulloch 02-25-2002 10:01 PM

What is Mar Vanya Tyaliéva?

Mat_Heathertoes 02-26-2002 08:15 PM

The Cottage of Lost Play

Bruce MacCulloch 02-26-2002 09:50 PM

Absolutely correct, Mat! (As if there was ever any doubt)

Mat_Heathertoes 02-27-2002 06:28 AM

Many thanks Mr Macc

What did Taur Danin evolve into in later writings ?

Nefwathiel Teleri 03-02-2002 09:19 PM

Carn Dum? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Mat_Heathertoes 03-03-2002 09:15 AM

Alas no, Nefwathiel

Voronwe 03-03-2002 10:31 AM

Dorthonion?

Mat_Heathertoes 03-03-2002 04:26 PM

All yours Voronwë [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Voronwe 03-03-2002 05:31 PM

In Tolkien's early writings, who discovered the Vale of Sleep, and what did he find there?

Telchar 03-04-2002 07:12 AM

Oromë - the sleeping bodies of Men???? This is just guessing

Mat_Heathertoes 03-04-2002 08:12 AM

Nuin, the dark elf, who discovered the land of Hildorien before the rising of the Sun and found sleeping forms of mankind and awoke two, Ermon and Elmir and taught them to speak.

Voronwe 03-04-2002 10:17 AM

As always, Mat is completely correct.

Voronwe 03-16-2002 05:49 PM

What's become of Mat, I wonder? Would someone else care to ask a question instead?

Voronwe 03-21-2002 03:15 PM

No? In that case I will ask one. Who did Galadriel meet at Tharbad on the Greyflood?

Telchar 03-22-2002 05:37 AM

Celebrimbor?

Voronwe 03-22-2002 11:49 AM

Nope.

twinkle 03-22-2002 09:17 PM

Aldarion....

"It is also slated that "no records are now left of the later voyages that Aldarion made," but that "it is known that he went much on land as well as sea, and went up the River Gwathló as far as Tharbad, and there met Galadriel." There is no mention elsewhere of this meeting; but at that time Galadriel and Celeborn were dwelling in Eregion, at no great distance from Tharbad." -UT

Voronwe 03-23-2002 04:48 AM

You are, of course, quite correct. Ask away.

twinkle 03-23-2002 10:48 AM

ty voronwe....
this is my first question in quiz, so bear with me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Quote:

'So be they,' said Lindo, 'though concerning them Men
tell many strange and garbled tales that are far from the truth,
and many strange names they call them that you will not hear
here', but Vaire said: 'Nay then, Lindo, be not drawn into
more tale-telling tonight, for the hour of rest is at hand, and
for all his eagerness our guest is way-worn. Send now for the
candles of sleep, and more tales to his head's filling and his
heart's satisfying the wanderer shall have on the morrow.'
who is this guest?

Orogaerion 03-23-2002 04:18 PM

Eriol visiting the cottage of lost play

twinkle 03-24-2002 05:46 AM

right you are Orogaerion....
your turn now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

twinkle

twinkle 04-07-2002 11:54 AM

well, it's been two weeks and no sign of Orogaerion whatsoever....
to not let this cool quiz become buried in oblivion, let me ask another question then....

who was forced to cast down his golden collar, by whom and to what purpose?

twinkle

Voronwe 04-07-2002 02:34 PM

Tevildo, Prince of Cats, by Huan. He was forced to give it up so Tinuviel could use it as a token of his authority to rescue Beren.

twinkle 04-08-2002 03:18 PM

correct as ever, Voronwe....
i bow to thee [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

your turn again...

twinkle

Voronwe 04-13-2002 04:52 PM

Who was the only person known to have referred to Eru during the third age?
