Wrong fire. ;) And Perky, you're way off. ;)

Fingolfin II 06-13-2004 12:10 AM

Could the second one be Miriel then? It's unlikely, but my reasoning is that she was the first Elf killed in all of Arda and she was "killed" by Feanor (or the Spirit of Fire) in childbirth?

NightKnight 06-13-2004 03:50 AM

Good reasoning, but it's not right. ;)

The Perky Ent 06-13-2004 10:42 AM

Saruman and Gandalf? Saruman found Isengard and the Palantir and Gandalf was killed by the Balrog, which is, of course, fiery!

NightKnight 06-13-2004 10:54 AM

Getting closer now, but you're still wrong.

BTW, congrats on 1000 posts! :)

Fingolfin II 06-26-2004 10:54 PM

Ok, could the second one be Azaghal, who was killed by Glaurung?

As to the second one, I'm not too sure, but....Durin, who founded Khazad-dum?

If not, could we please have some hints?

NightKnight 06-28-2004 04:59 PM

Wrong...
 
They are dwarves, you've got that right... Think 3rd Age.

Gil-Galad 06-28-2004 08:38 PM

Thorin and Durin!


Thorin - found Arkenstone (rather reclaimed it...)

Durin - first killed by Balrog of Khazad-Dum


If Thorin isn't right then the guy that found Erebor...

NightKnight 06-29-2004 05:34 AM

Durin is right. Thorin is wrong, but it's the guy that found the Arkenstone, Thrain I. You're up.

Fingolfin II 07-04-2004 03:58 AM

*Bump*
 
Gil-galad?

Gil-Galad 07-04-2004 04:33 PM

seesh...


Repaid with many pairs of four

and

Refused to turn back in embarassment

Fingolfin II 07-08-2004 01:13 AM

Is the second one Dorlas?

NightKnight 07-08-2004 10:34 AM

The first one is Fingolfin (Maedhros gave him a bunch of horses). The second one... Fingolfin again (after the kinslaying)?

Gil-Galad 07-08-2004 10:48 AM

oooh...so close, your right on the second one, you got confused on the first one...

The Perky Ent 08-05-2004 06:44 PM

Hmm...Ungoliant and Fingolfin?

Fingolfin II 08-05-2004 10:23 PM

Oh wait, I think I might have it now- Fingon and Fingolfin?

Gil-Galad 08-07-2004 12:20 PM

You were so close....its in your first anwser actually...

1.?

2. Fingolfin

Fingolfin II 08-07-2004 11:28 PM

Well I don't get that clue....but maybe when you say "Repaid" you mean the giver, not the receiver- therefore I'll say Maedhros for the same reason that NightKnight stated.

Gil-Galad 08-08-2004 12:30 PM

FIngolfin is correct

Fingolfin II 08-08-2004 04:44 PM

Cheers. It was really NightKnight who put me on the right track, but anyway-

More like his father than his mother in at least one respect.

Devoted to the greatest.

Gil-Galad 08-08-2004 05:10 PM

Maeglin and Eonwe?

Fingolfin II 08-08-2004 05:31 PM

Nope. Remember they have to be related, unless they are both Ainur.

Fingolfin II 08-17-2004 02:38 AM

No one? HINT: They are both mortal father and son. And you have to think a bit for the first one.

NightKnight 08-17-2004 05:09 AM

Huor and Tuor?

Fingolfin II 08-18-2004 01:28 AM

Nope. The second character is not known much about, besides his name, which I based the question on.

Fingolfin II 08-24-2004 12:44 AM

Time for another hint- they were both Kings of Numenor.

Fingolfin II 09-05-2004 12:45 AM

That question was going nowhere, so how about an easier one-

Slew the traitor.

A curse unto his kin.

The answers to the other question were Elros and Manwedil by the way.

NightKnight 09-05-2004 03:13 AM

Tuor and Hurin?

Fingolfin II 09-06-2004 01:31 AM

Hurin is correct for one of the statements (I won't tell you which one though :p).

Fingolfin II 11-11-2004 12:23 AM

Well it's been more than 10 days, so I'll set another question if I may. By the way, the answer to the two statements above was Hurin, who slew Mim and Turin, who was called a curse unto his kin by Glaurung and Brandir. Let's see.....ah!

Repented too late.

Last and proudest.

NightKnight 11-11-2004 10:44 AM

Tar-Palantir and Ar-Pharazon?

Fingolfin II 11-12-2004 12:16 AM

Got it in one.

NightKnight 11-14-2004 05:48 AM

Wasn't too hard. ;)

Wounded the dark captain.

Was wounded by the dark captain.

rutslegolas 11-16-2004 04:16 AM

Merry and Frodo??

NightKnight 11-17-2004 04:45 PM

Sure. :)

Fingolfin II 12-03-2004 08:45 PM

*Bump*
 
Ruts?

rutslegolas 12-04-2004 08:29 AM

He carries the banner of the Kings

The King himself rides beside him
.

Its very easy ;)

Gil-Galad 12-04-2004 12:03 PM

Gamling and Theoden? or Gamling and Eomer

Gil-Galad 12-04-2004 12:04 PM

oh i just thought about it, Halbarad and Aragorn

NightKnight 12-04-2004 03:34 PM

Wasn't Theoden's standard bearer called Guthlaf? And then of course Theoden for the second one.
