I guess one can never have too many trees. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your go.

alaklondewen · 06-05-2003, 05:42 PM

Thank you, Eruanna.

Explain the 'Ban of the Valar'.

Lasgalen · 06-06-2003, 02:09 AM

Mortals were not allowed to enter the Undying Lands so the Valar banned Númenóreans from sailing so far west that they could not see their coast anymore.

alaklondewen · 06-06-2003, 05:34 PM

Lasgalen, welcome to the Downs...you are correct! Please carry on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lasgalen · 06-07-2003, 04:25 AM

Who forged Turin's black sword?

Eruanna · 06-07-2003, 06:52 AM

Originally made by Eol, it was reforged for Turin by the smiths of Nargothrond.

Lasgalen · 06-07-2003, 04:45 PM

Correct you are.

Eruanna · 06-08-2003, 06:48 AM

Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

By what name did Brodda of the Easterlings call the people of Hador, whom he had made his slaves?

gilraën · 06-08-2003, 10:10 AM

Strawheads?

Eruanna · 06-08-2003, 05:14 PM

That's right. Please carry on gilraen [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-13-2003, 08:37 PM

Your turn my dear gilraen.

Beren87 · 06-20-2003, 12:36 PM

*bump*

Your turn my dear gilraën.

gilraën · 06-24-2003, 03:17 PM

I apologise for ignoring this topic, but as I'm off to France for 3 weeks in the morning and unlikely to get online within that time I forfeit my go [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

See you all soon [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 07:40 AM

Since I have a question, I'll ask it [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img].

Feanor's second son was considered second best at what and to whom?

Finwe · 06-25-2003, 09:42 AM

Second best at singing/music and he was considered second best to Daeron, the Minstrel of Doriath.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 09:04 PM

Perfection, Finwe.

Finwe · 06-26-2003, 09:01 PM

Ah, excellent! Wonderful! It is comforting to know that I know my son's family.

He became second-best after a one who lost something later came in. He took the coward's path, yet became famed throughout history for what he was best at.

Telchar · 06-28-2003, 06:53 PM

Maglor? Celebrimbor?

Finwe · 06-30-2003, 09:37 AM

Nope.

Finwe · 06-30-2003, 06:05 PM

All right, since no one seems to be getting this, I'll give you a hint.

HINT: He was one of the two most famous wanderers. (*coughcoughnottheistaricoughcough*)

Lindolirian · 01-07-2006, 05:13 PM

Who searched for Elrond's uncles in the woods?

Gil-Galad · 01-07-2006, 06:51 PM

Maedhros i beleive... or else somebody else... perhaps Maglor

Lindolirian · 07-10-2003, 10:58 PM

Daeron.

Finwe · 07-11-2003, 09:09 AM

Right, your go!

Lindolirian · 07-17-2003, 04:40 PM

What were Mandos and Lorien called collectively?

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-17-2003, 07:36 PM

They are called the Feanturi: "Masters of Spirits".

Lindolirian · 07-17-2003, 07:42 PM

Sure thing!

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-18-2003, 10:44 AM

Yeah! Okay, who did the sons of Bor kill in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad?

Lindolirian · 07-18-2003, 03:29 PM

The sons of Ulfang. (Ulfast and Ulwarth)

[ July 18, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-19-2003, 06:03 PM

Correct! Your turn.

Lindolirian · 07-25-2003, 09:02 PM

What Elf hoped that "no man shall say that elven-words are lightly spoken"?

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-27-2003, 03:01 AM

Beleg, as he set out on his quest to find the whereabouts of Turin.

Lindolirian · 07-27-2003, 04:31 PM

Right you are! Lead on, Gwaihir!

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-29-2003, 02:57 AM

Thanks.

What was the name of the sword that was given to Beleg?

Diamond Green · 07-29-2003, 05:40 AM

Anglachel?

Legolas · 02-10-2004, 02:45 PM

Well Gwaihir is nowhere to be found, but 'Anglachel' was certainly the right answer.

Who offered Turin their knife as a gift at their parting? (Turin declined.)

Lindolirian · 02-10-2004, 03:14 PM

Sador Labadal.

Legolas · 02-10-2004, 07:33 PM

Yes! Go on.

Lindolirian · 02-10-2004, 07:39 PM

A hypothetical question:
If Avranc were in an archery contest what would his hit percentage most likely be?

Lindolirian · 02-13-2004, 02:51 PM

...Anybody?
