Re: THE SILMARILLION - Trivia Thread #1

What are the silmarils made of? There are two answers that I will accept.

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

The outside was made with silima but the inside held light from the Two Trees.

Correct. I also would have accepted that Fearnor wouldn't tell anyone (chapter 7, second paragraph).

Re: THE SILMARILLION - Trivia Thread #1

Correct.... Helluin is the Sindarin name for Sirius, the Dog Star. Your turn, Sharku.

Hmm, seemingly, I overlooked our Chieftain´s reply. Sorry for that.
On which occasion did the dwarves of Nogrod invite Eol?

I can't remember a particular occasion on which he was invited. Didn't he become a friend of the Dwarves when he talked with them coming out of Naugrim, and at times go and dwell as a guest in the mansions of Nogrod or Belegost?

I believe that Sharku is thinking of the feast of midsummer, when Eol left Maeglin and Aredhel thereby offering renewed impetus to a tragic chain of events.

He prefered the darkness and the vision of the stars that Nan Elmoth provided to than the sunlight of Doriath.

Located in the Ered Luin(later known as the Misty Mountains)
The less learned amongst us would know it as Moria; or as the Dwarves would say, Khazad-dum.
