You may have noticed there are threads and threads of questions, though they have all been answered already. Are you a master of all things Middle-earth? Or is there a special area where you are more reliable? If you are going to offer your services so graciously, we want to be sure to get the most out of you that we can!

Welcome to the Downs! Have fun with the questions....

What is the average wing speed of a fully laden swallow?

Do balrogs have wings? And if so, can they fly?

& BTW - Welcome to the Downs!

OK OK! Its started already. Let's resist our urge to ask our new friend Monty Python questions. And lets spare the Downs another round of Balrog Wings (and a pitcher of beer!). Instead, lets ask him a Middle-earth question as yet unheard of. Something fresh and new.... or something old and long buried....

How many years would it take for an elf to master archery and how long would it take for an elf to ride a horse. Or is that more instinct than learning. (did I word correctly? Oh well)

And welcome to the Downs!!! Enjoy your stay here [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And post often!

What constitutes a whip of flame?

I withdraw the balrog wings, but the beer has already been poured!

So, ElvenArcher61, why do you think that some of the elves did not return to the Blessed Lands of the the West when called. And do you think their reasons for refusing the Call were valid?

Elwing's brothers: Elves or Men?

--Belin Ibaimendi

Yes, do tell us about Elwing's brothers - they are dear to my heart!

explain the difference between the maiar and the valar.

oh, and balrogs do have wings. it is not a real discussion cos the answer is obvious- YES!

just thought i'd throw that in.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mae Govannen, ElvenArcher61. I'm ElvenRedhead1. Welcome to the Downs.

Yes the balrogs have wings but no they cant fly, it takes a elf 5-10 years for a truly skilled elf, but for an average elf, 10-20. normally elves dont ride horses unless the occasion calls for it, such as a battle, or wanting to make a speedious trip somewhere.

Okay, superimportant question:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Nah, I'm just kidding. Welcome to the Barrow Downs.

the difference between the valar and the maiar is that the maiar served the valar and were not immortal, however, they did have a much longer lifespan than any creatures in Middle-Earth in the 3rd age.elwing's brothers were men. and i said before that the elves dont normally ride horses, thats because they prefer to keep Illuvatar's creations free. but when they do ride a horse, it comes very natural to them because they are in-tune with all things in Middle-Earth but there enemies.

Ok
What / who was Tom Bombadill.
What really happened to the Ents wife’s

Wrong answer, what book did you read that the Maia were mortal in? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Nevfeniel - so much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.. get it?

Who was Sam's cousin's father's grandfather's wife's sister's brother-in-law?

Welcome to the Barrow Downs! Have fun and post away!

those little photos and screens under your nicks/names next to the post... how do you get them? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] is this stupid question:}?

Monty, I'm serious, I'm not joking around like everyone else. What was the name of my(Gimli's) mother?

The Maiar were Ainur, Elven. Thus, immortal. Sentence fragments rule.

Answer Stephano's question about the whip of flame!

Help! Help! I want to change my publicly display name. How do I do it?!

Sorry, you can't. If people could change their names, it would be too confusing for other people. You could make another account, though.

My bad. Sorry for that. I wasn't paying that much attention when I created my account (stupid TV was on!). I'll create another acount, afterall, it's not like you guys will miss me that much.

Whip of Flame - was this an extension of the fiery being of the Balrog, or was this a weapon separate from the Balrog?
