What was the name of the king who along with his family was killed by a plauge out of Mordor?

01-24-2002, 04:29 AM

It was King Telemnar

Thingol · 01-24-2002, 10:00 AM

correct, your turn to ask.

How many years did Hyarmendacils reign last

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-29-2002, 06:38 PM

There were two Hyarmendacils of Gondor. The first was called Ciryaher. He ruled for 134 years (1015-1149).
Hyarmendacil II (Vinyarion) ruled from 1540 to 1621 (84 years).

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-29-2002, 07:37 PM

Oops, I meant the first was NAMED Ciryaher.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-05-2002, 03:40 PM

OK - if no one speaks up and confirms my answer by tomorrow, I'm going to go ahead and ask the next question.

Telchar · 02-06-2002, 02:51 AM

Your answer is good Bruce (I checked) - you should proceed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-06-2002, 03:36 AM

Which king rebuilt Minas Anor?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-06-2002, 07:42 AM

If you mean when it changed name to Minas Tirith it was Elendil & Sons

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-06-2002, 09:26 PM

No - later than that. After it was rebuilt, the kings dwelt there in the summer rather than in Osgiliath.

Legolas · 02-06-2002, 10:07 PM

Ostoher, Seventh King of Gondor.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 12:17 AM

That is correct, Legalos! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Legolas · 02-07-2002, 12:11 PM

Which king defeated the Corsairs?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-07-2002, 02:20 PM

Thorongil... (Also known as Aragorn Elessar)

Legolas · 02-07-2002, 02:34 PM

Maybe I wasn't specific enough.

Who was the king who defeated the Corsairs and reclaimed Umbar?

It was before Aragorn. Aragorn's defeat(s) of the Corsairs were prior to his crowning.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 03:56 PM

Was it Ciryaher? The one that was called Hyarmendacil the First?

Legolas · 02-07-2002, 04:04 PM

Nope.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 04:39 PM

Aha!! It was Telumehtar! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Legolas · 02-07-2002, 04:44 PM

You are correct, sir. Proceed!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 04:49 PM

Who was the first king slain by the Wainriders?

Meriadoc · 02-07-2002, 07:18 PM

I think that it was Narmacil II

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 07:23 PM

Correct, Meriadoc of the Shire and Holdwine of the Mark!
Your turn.

Snowdog · 06-17-2004, 11:33 AM

I think Meriadoc forfieted after 2 years...

What King was slain on Amon Sûl, otherwise called Weathertop?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-18-2004, 12:05 AM

Arveleg?

Snowdog · 06-21-2004, 09:02 AM

*looks at judges...* "Have to be more specific."

NightKnight · 06-22-2004, 07:59 AM

Arveleg I, even.

Groin Redbeard · 12-12-2007, 05:29 PM

Who was the tenth king of Arnor? His eldest son's name was Amlaith,.

The Might · 12-13-2007, 07:42 AM

Earendur.

Groin Redbeard · 12-13-2007, 10:12 AM

Once again the Might proves his worth! The thread is yours.

The Might · 12-13-2007, 10:16 AM

Which king made it custom to live in Minas Anor in summer?

Nerwen · 12-13-2007, 05:47 PM

Ostoher.

The Might · 12-14-2007, 07:46 AM

Yep

Nerwen · 12-14-2007, 08:20 AM

How many Kings of Gondor shared names with Kings of Arnor?

Shards of Narsil · 12-19-2007, 08:41 AM

According to my research, there were two.

There was Eldacar son of Valacar in Gondor and Eldacar son of Valandil in Arnor.
Also, there was Tarondor son of Minastan in Gondor and Tarondor son of Tarcil in Arnor.

Nerwen · 12-19-2007, 08:45 AM

Welcome to the thread, Shards of Narsil.
