Re: We need new trivia questions!

You are correct, noldo! And I'm sure we all know who the ninth Aratar was .... but he isn't counted anymore. Because he wasn't very nice.

Your turn.

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Melkor WAS nice!
He was a rebel, but at first he only wanted Eä to be less boring than the design of Manwe was. He turned &quot;evil&quot; only because he was not acceoted by the boring Valar.

Nobody understood Sauron's true talents and brilliance.

And Dwalin was correct, I think.

Re: We need new trivia questions!

I'm sure Echthelion did. I wasted more time last night trying to figure out if Aragorn used that name in Rohan. If you're sure he did, can you tell me where the reference is? I wanted it for that hockey question on Entmoot.

Anyhow, good answer. Ask us!

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Yes, I saw that reference too but I've never seen the reference where it says he was called Thorongil in Rohan like I have for Gondor. That was my question.

&quot;As Thorongil he serves in disguise both Thengel of Rohan and Ecthelion II of Gondor.&quot;

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Help me out, burrahobbit, and tell me where (exactly) that quote is. I've looked before, and never found where it said that he used that disguise in both countries, but only that he had served in them both and was known in Gondor as Thorongil.

Thanks

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Th above quote is from the Tale of Years in Appendix B of The Lord of the Rings, for the years 2957-80. Does that help?

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Yes indeed...
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Aragorn undergoes his great journies and errantries. He serves in disguise both Thengel of Rohan and Ecthelion II of Gondor.<hr></blockquote>
This does not name the alias he used in either country (as your quote indicated it did). Earlier text (Appendix A) states that he was known as Thorongil in Gondor. We don't know what pseudonym he went under while serving Thengel.

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Re: We need new trivia questions!

I'm looking at the 1976 Ballantine paperback the 1981 Ballantine paperback...and both say nothing about Thorongil.

But I pulled out my 1993 Houghton Mifflin one volume version and it DOES says as Thorongil... so which is it??? I've always assumed they all had the same text. Somebody help!

Re: We need new trivia questions!

The 1970 Houghton Mifflin and the 1974 and 1979 Ballantines all agree with your Ballantines and their more abbreviated Appendix B. Very mysterious.
btw burrahobit, in all the Thorongil excitement I never answered that Marach led the third host of men into Beleriand.

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Marach is correct. My copy is the one volume paperback with the gold announcement of the New Line Cinema movie. Houghton Mifflin. It says &quot;This edition of The Lord of the Rings was first published in Great Britain by HarperCollinsPublishers 1991&quot; Someone should write a letter.

Re: We need new trivia questions!

Hmm, I have to think about this. All of the hobbits and Strider in the Midgewater Marsh. I can't seem to be able to think of anything else. Aside from the ones bitten by Gollum, But they were bitten by the midges too.
