Re: UNFINISHED TALES - Trivia Thread #1

What woodworker was Turin friends with as a boy?

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

Re: UNFINISHED TALES - Trivia Thread #1

Sador. He was halt of foot, so Turin called him Labadal, meaning `Hopafoot`, but the name was given in pity rather than scorn.

Another UT question, then.

What is significant about the Halifirien?

It is where the Oath of Cirion and Eorl was performed, it originally contained the gravesite of Elendil, it was the site for the Tradition of Isildur until Cirion ended the practice, it was the highest, last in line, and last built of the beacon towers, it was originally the midpoint of the Kingdom of Gondor, and a border mark for Rohan as the souce area for the Mering stream.

Re: UNFINISHED TALES - Trivia Thread #1

No it isn't.

As additional help; it DOES begin with an 'A' however.
It is not indexed in UT, and can only be found in one note in the text.
This is the UNFINISHED TALES (Tuor, Narn, etc.) only trivia thread correct?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this one, but Gandalf was a dwarf in Icelandic Mythology, if I remember correctly.

Re: UT

I only found in UT that Gandalf was a dwarf in Völuspá, a Norwegian work; this name was changed in English narrative.

Since you were on the way, Voronwë, ask away! <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> (oh!, you´ve already done it! <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)"> )

I didn´t know that, Sharku.
