The Red Mountains

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-22-2002 09:05 PM

Yes. Go ahead.

Pallando B.C 12-22-2002 09:13 PM

If I travelled 40 miles North of the Hills of Evendim and then 100 or so miles East, Then another 120 miles south, where would I be?

Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood 12-22-2002 10:50 PM

Would you be at Fornost in the North Downs?

Pallando B.C 12-23-2002 04:53 AM

Great Job, Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood.

Your father would be proud [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood 12-23-2002 05:36 PM

I sure hope he would be!

What's the name of the hill in the Forest of Brethil?....I know I know, it's quite easy but hey I'm a bit new at this.

Pallando B.C 12-23-2002 06:01 PM

Doesn't matter If you're new, I'm #4760 and that I'm sure would be regarded as new.

The Hill in the Forest of Brethil is Amon Obel.

Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood 12-23-2002 06:08 PM

That is correct! Your turn.

Oh and I'm not new to this site. I've been here since July and have quite a lot of posts around here, except that the RPG room used to be my main place. I mean I'm new to quizing.

Besides I'm better at answering than at giving questions.

Oh, ok. As you can see I'm new at least!

What river is the seperates the regions of Eregion and Dunland

TolkienGurl 12-25-2002 05:06 PM

The river Glanduin.

Pallando B.C 12-25-2002 09:34 PM

Yes, the floor is yours!

TolkienGurl 12-26-2002 03:14 PM

Thanks! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

On which river did the Teleri, being slow and reluctant, camp long in Middle-earth?

Lindolirian 12-26-2002 06:33 PM

Anduin the Great.

TolkienGurl 12-27-2002 03:52 PM

Right! Your turn.

Lindolirian 12-27-2002 05:03 PM

Describe the location of Dor Daidelos.

Gwaihir the Windlord 12-27-2002 09:07 PM

I am not sure if you've got the right spelling, but I believe the area you are referring to was north-west of Ard-Galan/Anfauglith, the hilly land through which one passes to come to Thangorodrim and Angband.

Lindolirian 12-27-2002 09:21 PM

I see what you are thinking. The land you are describing is Dor Daedeloth. I was hoping someone would go for that one.

Gwaihir the Windlord 12-28-2002 04:54 AM

Curse you... then it's anybody's guess. Never heard of that.

TolkienGurl 12-28-2002 09:12 AM

North of the Iron Mountains and the northernmost part of Middle-earth, Dor Daidelos is the Region of Everlasting Cold.

Lindolirian 12-28-2002 11:38 AM

Curse me?? Anyways, yes TolkienGurl, you are correct.

TolkienGurl 12-30-2002 03:15 PM

Umm... how about "Bless you" instead! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Name 2 cities in which Numenor's population was concentrated.

I hope it isn't too easy!

Lindolirian 12-30-2002 05:41 PM

Andunë and Armenelos

TolkienGurl 12-30-2002 06:18 PM

Armenelos is correct, but there was another city with a higher population concentration than Andúnië, or so my book source tells me. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Which one is it?

Lindolirian 12-30-2002 06:22 PM

It is Romenna then.

TolkienGurl 12-30-2002 06:34 PM

Yup. You're really good at this. Ask away!

Lindolirian 12-30-2002 08:02 PM

Between what two rivers does the Silent Land lay?

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-31-2002 03:12 PM

Silent Land is Dor Dinen, so I believe it lies between the River Aros and the River Nivrim. Yet I'm not so sure about Nivrim.

Aylwen

Lindolirian 12-31-2002 03:15 PM

I'm not so sure about Nivrim either, in fact, have at it again. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[ December 31, 2002: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

akhtene 12-31-2002 05:46 PM

The second one is River Esgalduin

Lindolirian 01-01-2003 02:19 PM

Of course. Since you were the first to know both, you get it next.

akhtene 01-02-2003 06:47 PM

Which river is the border between Gondor and Harad?

TolkienGurl 01-03-2003 08:24 AM

The river Harnen.

akhtene 01-03-2003 03:30 PM

That's it. Your turn.

TolkienGurl 01-03-2003 10:07 PM

The Men-i-Naugrim passes through Taur-En-Daedelos. Where in Middle-earth are these things, and what are they?

Lindolirian 01-05-2003 05:07 PM

The Forest Road passes through Mirkwood.

TolkienGurl 01-06-2003 09:16 AM

Correct! Your turn.

Lindolirian 01-06-2003 05:21 PM

Ahh, yes.... ye ole Geography. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

In between what mountain ranges was the Athraid Angren?

Russandol 01-06-2003 10:21 PM

That would be the Hithaeglir and the White Mountains.

Lindolirian 01-07-2003 04:24 PM

Aye, that it is!

Russandol 01-07-2003 09:14 PM

Where was the River Rushdown? Extra kudos goes to the person who can tell me what it's 'elvish' name was.
