Aah! I feel incredibly stupid now [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]. Thanks for catching that Beren. I meant Steward Ecthelion II, and of course his youngest child (Denethor) married Finduilas. Must remember to think before I post...
Beren gets this point for catching my glaring mistake. Final Score: Saucepans- 3 gilraen- 2 Beren-2 Alak- 2 Beruthiel- 1 Please carry on, O Cacaphonous Cadaver... [ June 13, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

Nice detail, Orofaniel, but elven maiden Earwen's more succinct answer fits the bill too, I'm afraid. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hm...I believe this was the job of the Bounders of the Shire. They beat the bounds to keep strange folk and creatures (wolves, maybe) from crossing the borders of the Shire?

Sorry Gwaihir, you need to have given the most correct answers in the previous round to earn the honour of question master/mistress for the next round.
Alaklondewen answered 5 out of 10 correctly in the last round, so it is now her turn to ask the questions. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You're right, Mariska, that it was the refuge of Turin, but I would like you to be a little more specific on the location and what it was called. Think about what Mīm called it.
