Probably an easy one:

How many wounds did Morgoth receive from Fingolfin?

The Perky Ent · 08-22-2004, 08:55 AM

7?

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-24-2004, 03:49 AM

no

NightKnight · 08-24-2004, 05:46 AM

8?

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-25-2004, 04:24 AM

correct, Nightknight.

NightKnight · 08-25-2004, 09:13 AM

Seven during the battle and then one last blow, if I remember correctly.

Where is the giant Gilim mentioned?

I believe Gilim is mentioned in the Lay of Leithian:

Quote:

"Names she sought,
and sang of Glend the sword of Nan;
of Gilim the giant of Eruman;
and last and longest named she <then>,
the endless hair of Uinen." ("Lay of Leithian" 1495-1499, LB)
