Fingon and Maedhros?

Fingolfin II 08-20-2004 10:39 PM

Nope. Fingon and Maedhros are both Noldor.

Firefoot 08-21-2004 06:47 AM

Fingolfin and Ingwë?

NightKnight 08-21-2004 12:15 PM

Finwe and Elwe?

Fingolfin II 08-21-2004 06:43 PM

NightKnight has it.

NightKnight 08-22-2004 04:20 AM

Name one elf that has been reborn (not Glorfindel).

luthien-elvenprincess 08-22-2004 07:56 AM

Luthien

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-22-2004 11:27 PM

Finrod atarinya.

NightKnight 08-23-2004 01:35 PM

Atarinya? What is that? But it was your dear father that I had in mind, so please carry on.

Luthien, you never really died. You just walked away to Mandos and then went back.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-23-2004 09:22 PM

Atarinya:
 
Atar, father + inya, possessive pronoun of second degree.

In short, it means "my father".

Anywhen, which of the Eldar had his own land named after him?

Morsul the Dark 08-23-2004 09:38 PM

Lorien?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-23-2004 09:55 PM

Wrong.
 
Eldar, Morsul. :p

Morsul the Dark 08-23-2004 09:57 PM

Evisse the Blue 08-24-2004 01:11 AM

Amroth --> Cerin Amroth?

Firefoot 08-24-2004 05:11 AM

Maedhros?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-26-2004 09:19 PM

No hits.
 
Hint: First Age.

Fingolfin II 08-27-2004 12:26 AM

Maglor- Maglor's Gap?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-27-2004 10:40 PM

Crap!
 
I didn't know there were two answers. I was thinking of Caranthir.

*sigh* Very well, Fingolfin II.

Fingolfin II 08-28-2004 02:04 AM

Cheers,

Name 35 Elven princes/princesses who were born before Elrond/Elros.

(A prince can include people who later became High Kings- e.g. Gil-galad, or Fingolfin- so you couldn't have anyone like Finwe, because he was a King, not a prince).

Have fun ;).

NightKnight 08-28-2004 04:17 AM

Wow...fun question. :p

Feanor, Fingolfin, Finarfin, Earwen, Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Curufin, Caranthir, Amrod, Amras, Fingon, Gil-Galad, Turgon, Idril, Earendil, Aredhel, Maeglin, Finrod, Orodreth, Finduilas, Angrod, Aegnor, Galadriel, Luthien, Dior, Galathil, Galadhon, Nimloth, Celeborn, Elwing, Denethor, Legolas, Elured, Elurin.

I'm not quite sure about Legolas, but those are all I could come up with. 35! :p

Fingolfin II 08-28-2004 05:19 AM

Wow, all 35!
 
I didn't even think of Denethor or Legolas- I had Gelmir and Gwindor. But your way is better. You're up :).

NightKnight 08-28-2004 05:49 AM

Ah, forgot those. But they weren't royalty, that's why. ;)

Who were Luthien's cousins?

Firefoot 08-28-2004 06:02 AM

Cousins? With an S?

The only first cousin is Eärwen, but maybe you mean Galadriel, Aegnor, Angrod, Orodreth, and Finrod?

NightKnight 08-28-2004 07:29 AM

She had more than one first cousin. And no, I'm not counting Finrod &co.

luthien-elvenprincess 08-28-2004 09:59 AM

Earwen and Galadhon?

NightKnight 08-28-2004 02:46 PM

Still not it.

luthien-elvenprincess 08-29-2004 07:52 AM

Do you also mean to include first cousins through marriage? THen, Belegund, Baragund, Bereth, Earwen and Galadhon?

NightKnight 08-29-2004 10:30 AM

Nope, not through marriage.

Nilpaurion Felagund 11-18-2004 10:38 PM

Too tough! Too tough!
 
Give us the answer, Master NightKnight, and have for us a new question!

NightKnight 11-19-2004 12:36 PM

I'm confused. To me it seems that Luthien had the answer, I must have been distracted. That's the only reasonable answer I can find. So Luthien should ask a new question.

luthien-elvenprincess 11-20-2004 08:33 AM

Whoop--a cheer for luthien. (oops, just a bit vainglorious, to be leading a cheer for one's self :rolleyes: )

The "most infamous" of all treachery was caused by 'what' in which elf.

(Hope I worded this question so that it makes sense :confused: )

NightKnight 11-20-2004 10:10 AM

Maeglin's desire for Idril?

luthien-elvenprincess 11-21-2004 08:01 PM

That is one-half of the answer ;)

luthien-elvenprincess 11-30-2004 07:19 AM

anyone want a clue?

Firefoot 11-30-2004 02:58 PM

His desire for Idril and his hatred for Tuor (which made it easier for him to concede to Morgoth's demands)?

luthien-elvenprincess 12-01-2004 12:39 PM

perfect answer! your go, firefoot

Nilpaurion Felagund 01-31-2005 01:56 AM

*bump*
 
Firefoot?

Firefoot 01-31-2005 05:55 AM

Huh? Oh...
 
What events did Galadriel refuse to tell Melian about?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 01-31-2005 06:00 AM

the gory details of
 
the Kinslaying?

Firefoot 01-31-2005 06:07 AM
