Call My Bluff, ME style - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nobody's laughing... Actually the kings of Numenor have always been the part I've known least about. But I do think I know this. I'll wait a while with my answer though as it feels as if we should let someone more participate. For example, Thinlomien can have her well deserved second chance. It was a nasty trick by me...

And I have to trick you, bilbo. You know all the answers otherwise

The evil balrog spirit in me woke up...

Celebuial · 11-08-2005, 05:10 PM

Hmmmm... It's a tough one... I think It's 2) though, because I don't remember him doing it. His son was...Hmmm i don't remember... sounds kinda like Gimli... erm... hmmm.... must look that up later.....

Firefoot · 11-09-2005, 08:08 PM

2 - His son was Ar-Gimilzor, father of Ar-Pharazon. Among other things, he forbade the use of Eldarin tongues.

No problem, Gothmog, I should still have known that Orcrist was called Biter (not wondered which, Glamdring or Orcrist was called so). And perhaps I should also have remembered that the sword was buried on him...

bilbo_baggins · 11-10-2005, 08:47 AM

#2 is correct, and I'll give it to Firefoot because of a more correct answer, and for a first time on the thread. Good guessing!

Firefoot · 11-10-2005, 04:07 PM

Thank'ee.

Haleth:

1. Haldad's sister who lead the Haladin when he and their father had died.
2. A mighty leader's son, slain in battle.
3. Leader of the people befriended by Celegorm.
4. An Elf who greeted the Fellowship in Lorien.
5. One who led the Haladin into Beleriand.

Thinlómien · 11-11-2005, 06:42 AM

It's #2, if I'm not making Orcrist-mistakes again...

Firefoot · 11-13-2005, 10:54 AM

Correct you are. Haleth being Helm's son.

Gil-Galad · 11-16-2005, 06:19 PM

*Bumpity?*

Firefoot · 11-24-2005, 07:04 AM

Thanks.

Hengest:

A. A conqueror of Tol Eressea.
B. A forgotten captain of the Haradrim.
C. A messenger from Eorl.
D. One of Aldarion's mariners.
E. A lord of the Haladin.

Anguirel · 11-24-2005, 07:31 AM

With a name like that, it has to be a messenger from Eorl...so Anglo-Saxon...

C.

Firefoot · 11-24-2005, 07:57 AM

Well, that's what you were supposed to think...

Nope!

Gothmog · 11-24-2005, 08:12 AM

Hengest, isn't that one of the earliest characters of Tokien's world? Named after the myth of a man who is said to have conquered Britain, and Britain was supposed to be Tol Eressea in the early Tokien works?

I know I've read this in UT, but I don't have a copy with me right now... The brothers Horst and Hengest or something like that seems familiar...I could be totally wrong

My answer is A if I'm not clear enough.

Firefoot · 11-24-2005, 10:31 AM

Yep, that's right. It's actually in the Book of Lost Tales, though. Your go!

Gothmog · 11-24-2005, 02:22 PM

Right, that's what I meant... Got the English booktitles confused, sorry about that.

The name Hengest is interesting. Probably from the word Hengst=Stallion in Old English. Stallion=Hingst in Swedish. Something for Rune's thread about Tolkien and Norse myths maybe?

Anyway:

Tauremornaloma

1. One of the older Ents
2. Other name for Taur-nu-Fuin (in Dorthonion, not Mirkwood)
3. Other name for Oromë
4. Eöl's home
5. Other name for Fangorn

Good luck!

Anguirel · 11-24-2005, 02:35 PM

My second bid for power. It has to be 3; too bizarre an etymylogical connection to be dreamed up...

3.

Valier · 12-20-2005, 12:38 AM

Im pretty sure it's #2 ....yep I'm sure

Lindolirian · 12-30-2005, 06:23 PM

Oh Squatter, could you please come and tell us that Firefoot got it right? Or perhaps Firefoot can just take it?

Firefoot · 12-30-2005, 08:50 PM

I can. And just for proof:
