T is for Thangorodrim, a fortress of Morgoth, who had a fiery temper!

Um, Arvedui? Mabey you haven't noticed but U comes before V!

Ack! :eek: So it does! This day's been far too long...I'll do U as well then.

U

Uruloki, Quenya for fire-serpent, or dragon.

V is for Vilya, whos brother is Narya, the ring of fire!

W
Window of the Sunset, Henneth Annun

A quote from The Two Towers: The Window on the WestOr, if you don't like that, the constellation Wilwarin; stars having quite a lot to do with fire.

X is for the X-tra tall tower of Ziragzigil, where Gandalf killed the Balrog, which as i have stated before, is fiery!

And once again, Y is for the Yellow Face, Gollum's name for the sun.

Z is for Zirakzigil, where, as before stated, Gandalf killed the fiery Balrog!

May I begin the next series?

Water, Fire... How about:
Things to do with the air or sky

A for Arien, the Maia who sails the Sun across the sky.

B for the Birds that fly across the sky.

C is for Clouds, the white stuff that floats in the sky!

D is for Dragons, the ones that can fly, that is.

Earendil "set to sail the skies in his ship Vingilot bearing the Silmaril that Beren and Luthien brought out of Angband."

F

Fanuidhol - "Cloudyhead" - one of the high three peaks in the Misty Mountains (with Caradhras and Celebdil) that lay above the ancient dwarf-city of Khazad-dûm.

G is for Golden, a title of Smaug.

H is for Harry the gatekeeper of Bree, who slipped out the door after Frodo vanished into thin air.

I is for Isengard, a tower that ents took over that towered into the sky.

"Loose connections"
 

It seems to me that some of the connections between the theme and the item given have become rather "forced" (to say the least) over the last page or so.

It's fair enough for the more difficult letters, but please try to name items that fit as closely to the current theme as possible wherever you can. Otherwise, the game simply isn't much of a challenge.

Thanks. :)

Umm, J is for Jewel of Earendil, the Silmaril that he has in the air.

K is for Kirinki, a bird of Numenor.

L for Landroval, an eagle.

M is for Menelvagor, the Swordsman of the Sky.

N is for the Nine, who flew on fell beast accros the skies of Mordor

O
 

Oiolossë, the ever-snow-white, a lofty mountain where Manwë, Lord of the Winds, and Varda, Queen of the Stars, lived. But their mailing address was, I think, somewhere at Valimar.

It's a stretch but...
 

P is for the Phial of Galadriel, which calls upon Earendil, who sails the skies!

Q
 

Queen of the Stars, Varda, wife of Manwë Súlimo, who is Lord of the Winds.

R is once again for Ringwraiths, who ride fell beast into the sky

S
 

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon11.gif <- The Silmarilli, one of which is now in the sky, Gil-estel.

T is for Thorondor, who is the king of eagles, which fly around the skies!

U
 

Úlairi, another name for the Ringwraiths, who ride on flying steeds.

Come on folks, you can do better than this
 

That's just the kind of thing that I was talking about. It certainly is a stretch, particularly when there are a number of alternatives, such as Pelori, Pillar of Heaven and People of the Stars.

Also, how about a bit of variety? The Nazgul have come up 3 times, and they don't even fly themselves (and they certainly don't have much else to do with air). Similarly, the Silmarils have come up at least 3 times on this topic.

The game will be far more challenging, and also far more satisfying, if you try coming up with clever and different items.

V is for Vaitya, the uppermost of the three levels of air.

Windlord, a title of Gwaihir.

X

Here are 2 stretches for “X”:

First concerns the a"X"is about which the stars of Arda reel in the sky – Balcercor or the Sickle of the Valar.

Second offered is a short quote from The Hobbit – ‘Out of the Frying-pan Into the Fire', where Bilbo would have to have become a creature who can fly through the air were he to try to escape from the ledge where the eagle had stashed him:

The Yellow Face, AKA the sun.

My 500th post! I'm now a Ghost Prince of Cardolan! Yay for me! :D

Zirakzigil

One of the high peaks which thrust itself into the cloudy reaches of the sky above Khazad-dûm

Boar of Everholt

A large beast that lived in Firien Wood.
