) already taken. So I say Fangorn, just to make it interesting.

doesn't have too, kind of hard to go from minas tirith to Gondolin. its up to whomever turn it is, they can decide whether to continue on or start new. we may get bored of Middle Earth and go to Beleriand or the Undying Lands.

Groin Redbeard · 12-28-2007, 05:54 PM

How about Lothlorien?

The Might · 12-28-2007, 08:34 PM

Sorry, but no all wrong.
From all further SW. (guess this won't take too long)

Btw, sorry, must have missed that rule. It would btw, be south of Chetwood, but I think you figured that out anyway now.

McCaber · 12-28-2007, 08:47 PM

Is it Helm's Deep?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-29-2007, 04:39 AM

Or is it Tharbad?

The Might · 12-30-2007, 02:42 AM

Tharbad - South
Helm's Deep - West

I think we are pretty much there.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-30-2007, 02:50 AM

You sure it is west and not north-west?

But if so, then I say Drúwaith Iaur.

Groin Redbeard · 12-30-2007, 04:30 PM

I know this is a little out North-West of Helm's Deep, but is it The Gap of Rohan?

The Might · 12-30-2007, 04:37 PM

Nope, Leg-it already got it.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-30-2007, 05:51 PM

Okay. From Drúwaith Iaur, let's go North-Eastern.

McCaber · 12-30-2007, 06:10 PM

The Gladden Fields?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-30-2007, 06:27 PM

Oh no! How did you know so fast?

Indeed, your turn

McCaber · 12-30-2007, 08:08 PM

Thank you, Legate. With pleasure, we go from the Gladden Fields => Northeast.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-31-2007, 04:47 AM

What about the Mountains of Mirkwood?

The Might · 12-31-2007, 08:18 AM

As I doubt it's the Iron Hills again, I'll go ahead and say Erebor.

McCaber · 12-31-2007, 11:01 AM

Mountains of Mirkwood - North
Erebor - still North

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-31-2007, 11:17 AM

In that case it's most probably Withered Heath.

McCaber · 12-31-2007, 11:40 AM

Most Correct, Legate.

Withered Heath it is. Your turn.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-31-2007, 12:37 PM

Okay. For the New Year, let us move to Beleriand.

We arrive together with Fëanor and his sons. We pass through Lammoth and stop on the very southern end of Ered Lómin. And from here, from the camps and firelights in cold New Year's night we have to set on our path eastwards to reach the place we want to move to.

Have fun.

The Might · 01-01-2008, 05:33 AM

With the sons of Feanor we would probably want to challenge Morgoth so what about the Fen of Serech.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-01-2008, 01:27 PM

Nay. Still east.

The Might · 01-01-2008, 01:33 PM

Lothlann

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-01-2008, 03:50 PM

A very good orientation point to pick. South from there.

McCaber · 01-01-2008, 09:31 PM

Following Feanor and his sons, could it be the hill of Himring?

The Might · 01-02-2008, 05:04 AM

Maybe Mount Rerir

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-02-2008, 05:33 AM

Of course, correct

A bonus question (easy for a Tolkien-loremaster): who are we? (Or who is with us, taking where we started and where we ended?)

You can take the thread anyway

McCaber · 01-02-2008, 05:53 AM

Which one of us is right?

(Puzzlement ensues)

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-02-2008, 06:10 AM

The Might is right. I forgot to quote his post.

The Might · 01-02-2008, 06:58 AM

Well, I know Caranthir was there.

Anyway, from Mount Rerir I suggest we go SW.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-02-2008, 07:31 AM

Yup, I meant Caranthir.

From one mountain to another mountain: what about Amon Ereb?

Gil-Galad · 01-02-2008, 12:14 PM

Nan Elmoth perhaps?

McCaber · 01-03-2008, 06:03 PM

My guess is the Falls of Sirion.

The Might · 01-04-2008, 10:20 AM

From all SW

Gil-Galad · 01-04-2008, 11:23 AM

go to the extreme...

Isle of Balar?

The Might · 01-04-2008, 12:47 PM

And going to the extreme was a good choice.
You're next Gil.

Gil-Galad · 01-05-2008, 09:07 PM

alright!

from Isle of Balar let us go... North-East

The Might · 01-06-2008, 09:01 PM

Menegroth

Gil-Galad · 01-06-2008, 09:16 PM

Menegroth > South-east

McCaber · 01-06-2008, 09:17 PM

Amon Ereb

Gil-Galad · 01-07-2008, 11:45 AM

North-East
