Aha!
 
Quote:

Then Galadriel spoke to Melian of of the Silmarils, and of the slaying of King Finwë at Formenos; but still she said no word of the Oath, nor of the Kinslaying, nor of the burning of the ships at Losgar. But Melian said: 'Now much you tell me, and yet more I perceive. A darkness you would cast over the long road from Tirion, but I see evil there, which Thingol should learn for his guidance.'

'Maybe,' said Galadriel, 'but not of me.'
--The Silmarillion, "Of the Noldor in Beleriand"

Can't believe I didn't remember that the first time around.

Now you have it!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 01-31-2005 09:10 PM

Names
 
Name at least two pairs of elves who have the same name.

Nilpaurion Felagund 01-31-2005 11:24 PM

Gelmir - the brother of Gwindor and the companion of Arminas.

Rúmil - the loremaster, and the marchwarden of Lórien.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-01-2005 12:32 PM

*nods*
 
The thread is yours. :)

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-02-2005 06:38 PM

Thank you!
 
Name two with Vanyar blood who lived to see the Second Age in Middle-earth.

Fingolfin II 02-03-2005 12:09 AM

Galadriel and Elrond.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-03-2005 09:52 PM

Precisément.
 
You may continue. :)

Fingolfin II 02-03-2005 11:49 PM

Cheers. By the end of the First Age, how many descendants of Finwe were alive (and who were they)?

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-03-2005 11:51 PM

Elenrod Felagund, and perhaps . . .
 
Galadriel, Gil-galad, Celebrimbor, Elrond and Elros.

That's all, I think.

Nilpaurion Felagund 03-17-2005 05:44 AM

*poke*
 
Fin2?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-31-2005 08:10 AM

Hostile takeovers.
 
Give me the first name of the betrayer of the Hidden Rock.

Alcarillo 07-31-2005 01:16 PM

The Hidden Rock is Gondolin, so its betrayer would be Lómion (Maeglin's first name, literally. He wasn't called Maeglin until twelve years old.)

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-01-2005 03:52 AM

Good job!
 
You read through my attempt at a tricksy question.

Your thread. :)

Alcarillo 08-01-2005 08:58 PM

Which is the first elven couple to have mortal blood on both sides of the family?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-02-2005 03:15 AM

Eärendil and Elwing?

Alcarillo 08-02-2005 02:34 PM

Yep. Your turn.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-03-2005 12:20 AM

We seem to meet like this often.
 
:)

Enedwaith, from what race of Elves did the writer of Aldudénië come?

Alcarillo 08-03-2005 06:23 PM

It's a small world, after all . . .
 
He was a Vanyarin elf.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-03-2005 06:51 PM

Yup.
 
Yours again. :)

Alcarillo 08-03-2005 07:59 PM

Who was also known as Nóm?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-03-2005 08:20 PM

Dad.
 
Or, as you know him, Finrod Felagund.

Alcarillo 08-03-2005 09:10 PM

Yep, your turn, again. :)

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-03-2005 09:13 PM

Thanks!
 
Aside from Lúthien and Idril, what was the name of that pure Elf who married a mortal?

Alcarillo 08-03-2005 09:17 PM

Was it Nimloth?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-03-2005 09:34 PM

Hmmm . . .
 
Ach! Ja! Nimloth was also a pure Elf married to a mortal! Agh!

You've totally ruined the effect I was looking for, you smart person, you . . .

*sigh* Your thread again, I guess.

Alcarillo 08-03-2005 10:48 PM

Mwahahahahaha!
 
Which Noldo has met both Ëol and Beren?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-04-2005 01:17 AM

Celegorm?

Alcarillo 08-04-2005 12:57 PM

Nope, but you're very close.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-04-2005 09:17 PM

OK, then.
 
Curufin, my next choice.

Alcarillo 08-04-2005 09:44 PM

Yep. Your turn. :)

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-05-2005 09:49 PM

Thanks!
 
Aside from Lúthien, Idril, and Nimloth, name the other pure Elf who married a mortal.

(Recycling questions, I know.)

Alcarillo 08-05-2005 10:20 PM

In The Peoples of Middle-earth, in Tal-elmar (chapter XVII), Hazad's mother is elven. Does she count?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-05-2005 11:21 PM

No!
 
Just because I can. :p

You'll have to look for another, sorry. ;)

Alcarillo 08-06-2005 12:42 PM

Curses!
 
Hint, please?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-07-2005 12:28 AM

Second Age.

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 08:34 PM

Was it Mithrellas? I think she was Second Age . . .

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 09:00 PM

You got her!
 
Your turn. :)

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 10:10 PM

Thanks!
 
Easy question:
Which elf gave Túrin the name Thurin?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-09-2005 11:26 PM

Finduilas.
