Since we're long past the 10-day limit, and since I know my answer was right, I'm going to continue.

Androth was the name of:

A) A Wise-woman of the House of Bëor.
B) A pass between the South Downs and the Barrow Downs.
C) The caves in the hills of Mithrim.
D) An outlaw.

Well, I don't know what it is, to be honest, but I know what it isn't

so by elimination method:

A) A Wise-woman of the House of Bëor is Andreth
B) A pass between the South Downs and the Barrow Downs is Andrath
D) An outlaw is Andróg

Therefore, C) must be the right answer

Nice deductive work, Sherlock!

Yes. The Caves of Androth are where Tuor was brought up.

Carry on, Legate.

Sandastan is:

A) a Hobbit
B) a Númenorean
C) a constellation
D) none of the above

Nerwen · 01-24-2008, 06:38 AM

D) None of the above.

What is it?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-24-2008, 07:07 AM

The shield barrier used by Númenoreans

And you are right, of course.

A) A Dwarven city.
