I suspect you did, also.

And if our suspicions are correct, it would be your turn.

Go ahead, my dear.

Amon Rudh resembled a bald head. That bald head occasionally appeared to have a strange ailment. What was that ailment, and what was its cause?

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 01-19-2005, 11:35 AM

Amon Rudh was covered with seregon, a plant named for its blood-like appearance. It often appeared that this hill was covered with blood. This hill was made of stone, though seregon (meaning blood of stone in Quenya) was able to grow on it.

Is this what you were looking for?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-19-2005, 12:43 PM

That's exactly what I was looking for. Sorry about the extremely strange wording, otherwise the question would have been too easy.

*steps to the side* the floor is yours.

I love the First Age of Middle-earth; of all the ages in Tolkien's legendarium, I am most well-versed in the First.

While we're talking about Amon Rudh, why don't we discuss it some more?

When and how was Amon Rudh destroyed?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-19-2005, 11:23 PM

The dwelling at Amon Rûdh? Or the Hill itself?

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 01-20-2005, 03:12 PM

Both

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-12-2005, 10:54 PM

try to word your easy question as obscurely as possible.

Who in the first age shared her nickname with both an elf and a woman in the third?

Sorry I forgot about this thread for so long.

Well, Aragorn called Arwen "Luthien Tinuviel" when he first saw her; she was an Elf who married a human......
