Re: Isildur Question

I'll take no one telling me I was wrong as the go-ahead to ask a question. Who was the grandson of Faramir?

You were correct, sir! Thanks for moving ahead.

Faramir's grandson was Barahir.

Re: Isildur Question

I´ll simply quote Gandalf, explaining to Pippin:

&quot;See, there is the fire on Amon Dîn, and flame on Eilenach; and there they go speeding west: Nardol, Erelas, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad, and the Hailfirien on the borders of Rohan.&quot;

btw, I would have guessed their number correctly: 7.

Re: Isildur Question

Celegorm, Curufin and Caranthir were slain in the assault on Doriath. It is not clearly stated in The Silmarillion which one fell first, but I assume it was Celegorm because he is also stated first. Maedhros, Maglor, Amrod and Amras all died later.

Re: Isildur Question

Lomion, meaning Child of the Twilight. I assume it fits because he was born of the Dark Elf, Eol, and he grew up in the Moriquendi's forest stronghold, which was hidden from the sun.

Yes, he was born in the dark forest of Nan Elmoth.

Re: Isildur Question

That would be Beren. It means &quot;one-handed.&quot; He got his hand bitten off, and I'd be willing to bet it hurt a lot.

Re: Isildur Question

Good job, I was looking for a little more explanation, meaning his hand was bitten off by Charcharoth while Beren was fetching a Silmaril from Morgoth so he could wed Luthien, but that'll do.
I'd say having anything bitten off the Hound of Hell would hurt to... probably like hell...
At any rate, enough of bad jokes... ask!

Re: Isildur Question

Quenya: Valarauko; Vala: might; rauko: demon; Valarauko means &quot;demon of might&quot;, balrog is the Sindarin form.
