Re: Analogies

Khazad-Dūm is Moria, Barazinbar is Caradhras, one of the three peaks under which Moria lies. So do the Beacon Hills lie under the White Mountains.
But you could also say that Barazinbar is only a part of a whole (Moria), in which case, the answer would be one of the Beacon Hills, e.g. Halifirien.
Am I near?

Re: Analogies

I was looking for Halifirien, north-most of the beacon hills as Barazinbar was north-most of the mountains of Moria. Well done! I thought of doing this multiple choice, like the SATs, but it didn't seem particularly riddle-like. I hope this is better(?). Ask us!

Re: Let“s stay with analogies

As Mt Mindolluin forms the 'back' wall of Minas Tirith, Irensaga forms the same for Dunharrow.

Re: easy one

I thought Orodruin,because without Mindolluin Thirith
wouldn't be protected and would have been easily overtaken by enemies long before LOTR.

It took you eleven days to arbitrate that?! Or were you just waiting until you had that ring to make your reply more impressive?
