Who was chosen by the Valar to be the Moon's pilot?
(Well... pilot is probably not the right word for it - but i think "Driver of the moon" sounds awfull)

Telchar 02-04-2002 04:18 AM

Tilion - a Bowman that followed Oromë

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-04-2002 04:23 AM

Yes... Your turn...!

Telchar 02-06-2002 02:19 AM

What is the greatest work of the Valar in ME?

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-06-2002 07:48 AM

Could it be the two lamps of the Valar Illuin and Ormal?

Telchar 02-07-2002 02:00 AM

NO - This thing was made by one of them alone.

Bruce MacCulloch 02-07-2002 04:52 AM

Varda's making of the stars.

Telchar 02-07-2002 06:24 AM

Correct - Proceed, please [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch 02-07-2002 04:10 PM

Easy one, here.
Who or what are Yavanna's children?

Telchar 02-08-2002 04:02 AM

I'll venture the olvar and the kelvar - although I've never heard a refference to them as the 'children' of Yavanna. ??

Bruce MacCulloch 02-08-2002 05:37 AM

That is the answer I was looking for, Telchar. Perhaps my choice of words wasn't the best, I apologize.

Telchar 02-08-2002 10:01 AM

No need [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - anyway :

What was the mannish name for Oromë that was used in Gondor at the end of the 3rd Age?

Aldaron, Araw or Tauron, I'm not sure, sorry

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-08-2002 02:02 PM

my guess would be Aldaron or Lord of the Trees...?

Elrian 02-08-2002 06:27 PM

Araw? Wasn't Boromir's horn made from the Kine of Araw?

Telchar 02-14-2002 05:50 AM

Araw is correct [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - Take it away!

Elrian 02-15-2002 09:09 AM

Which of the Vala is known for growing golden flowers in Valinor?

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-15-2002 11:02 AM

Arien...

Quote:

In the days of the Trees Arien had tended the golden flowers

Elrian 02-17-2002 05:40 AM

No, Arien is not a Valar.

Bruce MacCulloch 02-17-2002 07:38 AM

It wasn't Arien, she didn't grow the flowers, she tended them. If you keep reading in the same sentence quoted above, you will see that
Quote:

In the days of the Trees Arien had tended the golden flowers in the gardens of Vána ...
So, the anser is Vána. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Elrian 02-18-2002 05:54 AM

Right again Bruce, your turn.

Bruce MacCulloch 02-18-2002 12:33 PM

Where does Estë sleep?

Joy 02-19-2002 01:05 AM

In the gardens of Lorién??

Bruce MacCulloch 02-19-2002 01:14 AM

No. I'm looking for specifics here.

Joy 02-19-2002 01:21 AM

Found it. I knew that I read it just a couple of days ago.

Specific enough?

Orald 02-19-2002 01:24 AM

Curses! Beat me by a second, why did i spell check

Joy 02-19-2002 01:26 AM

This is too funny. We were both tying at the same time. To bad that I type 70 word per minute. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] But, if Bruce will allow, I will let you have at it. I do not know much about the Valiar.

Bruce MacCulloch 02-19-2002 01:55 AM

That is correct. I'll let you two figure out who asks the next one. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

To resurrect this thread back into being:
What are the 7 titles given to Varda?

Joy 05-28-2002 01:54 AM

The 7 titles of Varda are as follows:
  • Elberth
  • Star-kindler
  • Lady of the Stars
  • Elentári
  • Gilthoniel
  • Tintallë
  • Queen of the Stars

Elrian 05-28-2002 02:27 AM

Elrian 05-28-2002 04:06 PM

No, sorry.

Lómelindi 05-28-2002 04:28 PM

I'm just putting all the names by which she's called, and hopefully some of them will be correct.

~ Elbereth
~ Elentári
~ Gilthoniel
~ The Kindler
~ Lady of the Stars
~ Queen of the Stars
~ Tintallë
~ "The Exalted"
~ "The Lofty"
~ one of the Queens of the Valar
~ Spouse of Manwë
