YES!!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 10-08-2003, 04:43 PM

Shire made by Hobbits
Weathtop made by Northern Exiles
Minas Tirith made by southern Exiles
Helms Deep made by teh Eothed

Telchar · 10-09-2003, 12:44 AM

I always thought that Helms Deep was a gorge where the fortress The Hornburg was made? The gorge was probably not made by men, but the fortress was most certainly made by the people of Gondor before it decay.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 10-09-2003, 02:12 AM

Helm's Deep and the Hornburg were the same fortress, built in a suitable place on the edge of the mountains. It earned the name Helm's Deep after the long besiegement of Helm Hammerhand there, in TA 2758, by the Dunlendings; Appendix A to LotR, page 429 etc.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-09-2003, 02:56 AM

Pippin never went to Helm's Deep?

tom bombariffic · 10-09-2003, 09:06 AM

sorry, still not got it, so here's another clue:

Think Battles.

The Shire was the only one to never have a wall or gate broken down during a seige.

tom bombariffic · 10-09-2003, 02:12 PM

Very good answer, but unfortunately I don't believe that complied with my first clue of being able to substitute Isengard for Weathertop. Well anyway, it's not what I was lookign for, although it would have been a great question wouldn't it?

Anyway no, but with battles you are on the right track.

Bombariffic

Gil-Galad · 10-09-2003, 03:39 PM

orcs weren't really near Amon Sul, or they didn't attack it when Frodo was there?

tom bombariffic · 10-10-2003, 09:06 AM

still no...but getting ever closer.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-10-2003, 10:57 AM

Hi! I decited to join in your quiz game.

So would the answer be Helm's Deep?
In the battle in the Shire - hobbits
In the battle in Isenguard - hobbits
In the battle of Pelennor (Minas Tirith) - hobbits
In the battle of Helm's Deep - no hobbits

tom bombariffic · 10-10-2003, 12:26 PM

I'm afraid that's not the answer I wanted...

so here's another clue:

think deaths

and remember the other 2 clues!!

Bombariffic (expecting the right answer any minute!!)

Gil-Galad · 10-11-2003, 11:03 AM

only in the Pellenor fields did a king of Rohan died

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-11-2003, 11:20 AM

Isenguard - no men died?

Finwe · 10-11-2003, 06:19 PM

Isengard- because no men were killed in its conquest (which did not involve a battle).

tom bombariffic · 10-12-2003, 03:31 AM

finally, someone has the answer! well in fact 2 people had it - no MEN died in Isengard in LOTR. (And of course, if you used my clue, no men died at weathertop).

Well dancing spawn of Ungoliant was first to get it, so Onward!

Bombariffic

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-12-2003, 08:54 AM

Yippee! I can't think anything proper right now...I'll come back when I have somthing to you to struggle with [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-12-2003, 09:11 AM

Okey, here we go.

Mt.Doom
Ithilien
Dead Marshes
Amon-Sûl

Telchar · 10-12-2003, 10:39 AM

Gollum never went to Amon Sûl ?

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-12-2003, 11:53 AM

Nope. Nice try. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Finwe · 10-12-2003, 12:39 PM

Mt. Doom -- Men had never lived there (or been there).

Estanesse · 10-12-2003, 05:05 PM

There has never been a mayor battle on mount doom

Gil-Galad · 10-12-2003, 09:50 PM

Orcs have never found a real, good path through the dead marshes and it is Isengard, not Isenguard even though most people would think that...

Evisse the Blue · 10-13-2003, 01:26 AM

Amon Sul because it wasn't under the power of the dark lord?

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-13-2003, 08:43 AM

Nope, nope, nope and nope.
Do you want a hint?

Quote:

it is Isengard, not Isenguard

Oh my...I knew that but I have misspelled it twice [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Thanks for correcting my mistake [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finwe · 10-13-2003, 08:45 AM

A hint would be greatly appreciated.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-13-2003, 08:47 AM

A hint: it deals with an object/objects.
Hope that helps.

Gil-Galad · 10-13-2003, 05:27 PM

only in Amon-sul was a Palantir

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-14-2003, 06:17 AM

No.

Evisse the Blue · 10-16-2003, 10:35 AM

Mt Doom because the ring remained there - it journeyed through all the other places.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-16-2003, 11:43 AM

Nice one but the right answer isn't maybe so obvious. You have wrong object.

LePetitChoux · 10-21-2003, 04:13 AM

Amon Sûl, because that's the only place that the Phial od Galadriel/Sting/Mithril Coat (sorry, 3 in 1) didn't go? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-23-2003, 08:56 AM

Still no. Would you like to have a hint?

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-24-2003, 10:05 AM

It deals with with an object/objects owned one member from the Fellowship.

Gil-Galad · 10-24-2003, 03:43 PM

Aragorn did not have ANduril/Narsil at Amon Sul when he was there with the hobbits

Telchar · 10-24-2003, 04:37 PM

The Phial of Galadriel has been into question, so I would say Sams little box of gardening never were at Amon Sûl... maybe?

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-25-2003, 06:06 AM

Neither one hits the target but Telchar shoots closer.

Finwe · 10-25-2003, 12:44 PM

None of Galadriel's gifts was ever at Amon Sul?

Telchar · 10-25-2003, 12:58 PM

Sam actually never went to Amon Sûl, he stayed in the dell below with Pippin.
