Thanks Dimturiel

Name the location of Amon Lanc

Firefoot · 11-23-2005, 05:19 PM

In Mirkwood, better known as Dol Guldur.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-23-2005, 05:42 PM

your right.

I do belive if I may get technical: It was in the southern part of Greenwood. When Sauron moved in and build it bacame Dol Guldur and the forest became Mirkwood.

= it was a joke

Well, la-di-da.

If I stood in Edoras facing the same direction in which the windows face in Bree and walked backwards about 250 miles before heading to the nearest city on a river. I continue upstream until I reach a bridge, where I turn left until I am in line (north-south wise) with the Dark Wood. From here I take a 150 mile trip to the northeast. Where do I finally arrive?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-24-2005, 12:30 PM

Just a guess: Orodruin or Udûn

Firefoot · 11-24-2005, 01:22 PM

Not even close.

If I stand in Edoras facing west as the windows in Bree, and walked backwards 250 miles (eastward) I would be in the northern part of Nindalf - the closest city on af River is VERY far away... ???

Firefoot · 11-24-2005, 04:37 PM

Yes, you're on the right track.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-24-2005, 04:58 PM

This is real hard.

The thing that pussels me is that you turn left until you are on the same line as the dark wood. I assumed this was Mirkwood (Murky Wood), but could it be Fangor who is this dark wood.

My next problem is that I lack good maps and cant see all the citys and bridges therefor I can only guess.

It could be Gladden Fields , with a bit of wishfull thinking.

Gothmog · 11-24-2005, 05:00 PM

Guessing here... Lonely Mountain or somewhere around there? Wild guess as I have no idea of what city or bridge that is...

EDIT: Cross posted with Rune. Dark Wood could very well be Fangorn. I should know, I posted a question about an old name for Fangorn in Call My Bluff recently. The name was Tauremornaloma, or Tauremorna. Taur=wood/forest, mor=dark. How could I not think of that??? And yes, a lack of good maps is a problem for me too.
Could Dol Guldur be right?

Firefoot · 11-24-2005, 06:14 PM

Wrong on all counts. And the Dark Wood isn't Fangorn or Mirkwood.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-24-2005, 06:26 PM

ok, if some of my resoning was right, then the destination could be Rivendell.

(hey didn't some of the windows face north ?)
