Elvorama
 
WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME! To the greatest game show on the Elven Network. I am your host, Galadel Vinorel, and I will guiding you through this fun and exciting game.

This is how it works. I will begin the game by asking a qustion. Whoever gets it right first may ask the next question. So on, and so forth.

Quote:

Rules for the Questions~

Questions must only be about Elven Trivia: such as Elven folklore, Elven places, Elven people, Elven mythology, and other such elven topics.
For every question that you get right you will recieve one point. These totals will be totaled and scored each week. At the end of the month whoever has the highest score will recieve the privelege to begin the next month with the first question and will be scored in the Elven Hall of Fame. Hopefully, we may even have some tournaments between players if this game becomes large enough.

First Question
 
This first one is an Elven "mythology" question.

Quote:

Who is said to be the Queen of the Stars by the Elves?
Good luck to you all! :D

NightKnight 03-19-2004 10:21 AM

That was Elbereth Gilthoniel, or Varda. :)

Galadel Vinorel 03-22-2004 10:21 AM

Bravo!
 
Correct! Correct!

Now you may proceed with the questioning NigthKnight. :D

*Note the scoreboard has now been edited.

NightKnight 03-22-2004 10:57 AM

Very well...

What were the elves that stayed at Cuivienen called?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-22-2004 12:22 PM

The Avari.

NightKnight 03-22-2004 12:43 PM

Correct, one point to you and your turn. :)

luthien-elvenprincess 03-22-2004 06:37 PM

An island was used by Ulmo to transport elves over the sea to Valinor.
Where did a piece of this island break off and what name was it given?

symestreem 03-22-2004 07:05 PM

The piece broke off at the shaols at the mouth of the Sirion, and it was called the Isle of Balar.

luthien-elvenprincess 03-22-2004 07:17 PM

Correct, your turn. :)

Arvedui III 04-03-2004 09:57 AM

*Bump*
 
This thread should not die. At least it should not die alone, unaided.

symestreem 04-03-2004 11:58 AM

:( Sorry!
Who was the first half-elven?

Thorongil 04-03-2004 01:18 PM

Earendil?

The Perky Ent 04-03-2004 04:58 PM

Is it Dior?

symestreem 04-03-2004 06:46 PM

Nope. :D

Firefoot 04-03-2004 06:53 PM

Lúthien!

The Perky Ent 04-04-2004 09:33 AM

Could it be Elros?

symestreem 04-04-2004 03:36 PM

:D Firefoot has it!!
Actually, Luthien, Earendil and the Dol Amroth guy (Galdor?) were the only true half-elven.

Firefoot 04-04-2004 03:44 PM

Okay, at the end of the Third Age, who was the oldest Elf living in Middle-earth?

By the way, who is keeping track of scoring?

Fingolfin II 04-04-2004 04:32 PM

Cirdan?

Firefoot 04-04-2004 04:35 PM

Quite correct.

Fingolfin II 04-04-2004 04:44 PM

I think Galadel is keeping track.

Anyway, which two elves were "unfriends forever"?

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-05-2004 12:22 AM

And the answer is...
 
My grandfather's demented half-brother (Fëanor) and my darling aunt (Galadriel)

Fingolfin II 04-05-2004 12:25 AM

Haha, yes.

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-05-2004 12:31 AM

Who is this Elf?
 
He is the King of Elves (and my godfather ;) ).

Evisse the Blue 04-05-2004 01:38 AM

Ingwe?

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-05-2004 01:59 AM

Yes!

Evisse the Blue 04-05-2004 02:16 AM

thnx!
 
What did the Sickle of the Valar mean for the Elves?

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-05-2004 02:20 AM

A sign for the fall of Morgoth?

Evisse the Blue 04-05-2004 02:25 AM

yes, a sign of hope
 
Your go. (you got 2 points so far!)

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-05-2004 02:29 AM

Who is this Elf?
 
The brother of Elwë and Olwë.

Evisse the Blue 04-05-2004 02:35 AM

Elmo :D

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-07-2004 03:02 AM

Correct!
 
He, I believe, became a famous muppet after the Third Age.

Two points so far for you. :)

Evisse the Blue 04-08-2004 12:25 AM

What was the name given to Finrod by Beor?

Fingolfin II 04-08-2004 01:07 AM

Nom, meaning Wisdom.

Evisse the Blue 04-08-2004 01:10 AM

Correct! :)

Fingolfin II 04-08-2004 01:17 AM

Here's a hypothetical question...
 
Here's an easy one:

If Fëanor's House wasn't 'Dispossessed' of the Kingship of the Noldor, who would have been High King of the Noldor at the end of the First Age?

Firefoot 04-08-2004 05:46 AM

Maedhros?

Thorongil 04-08-2004 08:06 AM

Didn't all of Feanor's sons die? If they did, would it be Celebrimbor?

The Perky Ent 04-08-2004 03:11 PM

Well, actually, Maglor threw the simaril into the sea and wanders the beaches, so i guess Maglor is the answer. So, although Celebrimbor is probably the answer, i must stick to Maglor!
