Can I join?

It was the elves, I think.

Hmm, no it wasn't. At least, not that I know of. I am looking for a certain people and who they were led by.

The remaining Noldor, led by Celebrimbor

Correct!

7.Where was the dwelling of the King of the Eagles in the Third Age?

Pallando B.C-2
Thengise-2
Iarwain-1

If you were looking for a specific answer, I have not got one for you Beren. All I know is that Gwaihir dwelt upon the peaks of the Misty Mountains.

Enough?

There is a specific word for his "home".., if no one gets it in the next 2 guesses, I'll give it to Pallando.

eyrie (sp), that is the name of an eagles home, but did you want a name (ie. Mine = Moria)

In 'The Hobbit' the name Great Shelf was said. That's where the eagles took the dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf to speak with the Lord of the eagles.

THAT was what I was looking for hobbitlass! correct!

8.What was the most renowned of the works of the Dwarves of the first Age?


Pallando B.C-2
Thengise-2
Iarwain-1
hobbitlass-1

I'll take a stab at this, but I believe it was the Nauglamir. 'The necklace of the dwarves' I think.

*bumps it to the top* Erm was that right? ^^

Oy, sorry Dennise, forgot about this thread.

Your correct!

9.Who fostered Elros and Elrond after the destruction of the Havens of Sirion?

Pallando B.C-2
Thengise-3
Iarwain-1
hobbitlass-1

And Thengise pulls ahead!

oh noooooooo...

celegorm and curufin?

Nope. And please think about capitalization.

Quite alright Matt! Umm...I believe the answer to your question is Maglor.

Woops, didn't even notice that I used your name. Thengise and Dennise do rhyme after all. Anyway, your correct. (Which already means you won, but I get to ask 10 questions here)

10.By what two other names does the "Secret Fire" go by? (losely perhaps, but they are considered synonyms.)

Pallando B.C-2
Thengise-4
Iarwain-1
hobbitlass-1

I don't mind Beren, but let me correct the spelling of my name: Denisse. Sorry, I just had to put it right.

Oh and I believe that the two names are 'the flame of Anor' and perhaps 'the Flame Imperishable'(could be wrong...)

Ah, not only did I accidently call you it, I couldn't even spell it right. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

And, you may also be right! So...as I look at the scores I see, with a total of 5 that the winner is....

THENGISE!

YAY!!! *Jumps around the thread*

Oh but I must say that if you think Thengise and Denisse rhyme, then you're not pronouncing Thengise right.

Thengise(then-gi-se) [gi is pronounced like the 'gi' in give and se is pronounced like the 'se' in sent]

I know, I know confusing. I guess I'd have to put one of those sound bites, so you can click on my name and hear me say it. LoL! So the truth is: not only did you say my name and not spell it right, but you also weren't pronouncing Thengise right. Hey but it's all good.

Anywayz...

1. What did the hobbits call themselves during the war of the ring?

Could they have called themselves Halflings.

Shirefolk.

Hobbits!?!?

Periain? at least in Gondor they were called like this.

Little Folk? Little People?

Wow, I've never been good with questions, but I must say that you are all wrong.

Here's a very small hint: the word means 'hole-dwellers or in other words hobbits' Not much of a clue, but I don't want to give it away...not yet at least.

holbytla? kuduk?

Yay!! Beren87 is correct. They called themselves Kuduk.

2. Khazad-Dum was delved under what three mountains?

Beren87-1

Caradhras,Redhorn and Silvertine

Caradhras is Redhorn.

They are Caradhras, Celebdil, and Fanuidhol.

That's right alaklondewen!

3. Who led the Nandor, leaving the Great Journey and moving south?

Beren87-1
alaklondewen-1

Denethor, son of Lenwë.

No, not Denethor...

Opps sorry, It was Lenwë

Umm, the Flame Imperishable and the Flame of Anor are not the same. The "Flame Imperishable" is the spirit of creation of Illuvatar. The Flame of Anor is the ring that Gandalf wields.

No, Ujoe, the Flame of Arnor is Gandalf's power. He is a servant of the secret fire, and a weilder of the Flame of Arnor. He both serves and weilds the power. The ring of Gandalf was Narya, which was not his true power as a miar. It is speculated the Flame of Arnor is an allusion to the white light of the sun as a symbol of the secret fire. While it is no means certain, they are generally used as the same thing.

You're still referring to two distinct things then. I've never heard of "The Flame of Arnor" as being an allusion to the sun; but even if that were true then you're drawing a false connection.

A=Flame of Arnor
B=The Sun
C=Flame Imperishable

If A is an allusion to B, and B is a symbol for C, then A is NOT a name for C.

The Flame Imperishable is the creating energy. The 'divine' energy of ME. Think of it as the force, and Gandalf simply tapping into it, that is how he weilded the Flame of Arnor, i.e. the Flame Imperishable. Flame Imperishable is what is used to create ME and everything in it.

[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

I know what the Flame Imperishable is... I just think calling the "Flame of Arnor" a synonym for said force is dead wrong. See my previous post.

Oh, I can see your point, as it is really a matter of opinion. Tolkien never explained what exactly it was, so its just how you interpret it. I was going more by Robert Foster's interpretation than anything else.

We are still waiting for a confirmation on question 3.
