How splendid [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Name the two main strokes used in Feanor's letters.

Annunfuiniel · 04-28-2003, 02:34 PM

Telco and lúva?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-28-2003, 02:44 PM

Absolutely

alquadae · 06-01-2003, 10:18 AM

Knock knock

Annunfuiniel · 06-01-2003, 12:02 PM

Who's there? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Ok, sorry about the delay and thanks, Beren, for the reminder.

Name the brothers of the 'Hidden Hero'.

alquadae · 06-05-2003, 04:51 PM

Fingorn,Aredhel ?

Annunfuiniel · 06-09-2003, 02:31 PM

Nope. Other guesses? This is a plain straightforward question.

Eruanna · 06-09-2003, 03:11 PM

I'm not sure about the "Hidden Hero". I do know that Elwe (Thingol) was the "Hidden king" and his brothrs were Olwe and Elmo.

Finwe · 06-11-2003, 10:41 AM

Hmmm...Hidden Hero.
A Hint would be nice. Could you tell us what race he belonged to?

Annunfuiniel · 06-11-2003, 11:25 AM

This is an Elvish trivia so the race concerned is Elves.

I did some searching and now I must confess that my question may not be quite accurate: 'Hidden Hero' was given as a meaning (interpretation) for one elvish name in the Encyclopedia of Arda but now it seems that it might be a misinterpretation...

Dig up your Quenya lexicons! The word 'hidden' is a correct translation. The entire name would be perhaps 'Hidden desire'[?] but if you find the first word the name should be easy to guess...and then finding the brothers' names will be no challenge.

So sorry about the mix-up! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Can't blame anyone else but myself: tsk tsk for being too lazy to devise a decent question.

~Annun

Arwen Imladris · 06-13-2003, 02:23 PM

Rúmil and Orophin? Haldir's brothers?

Orofaniel · 06-17-2003, 11:19 AM

I think Arwen Imladris is right.

halda- means hidden
írë- means desire

so it must be his brothers, Rúmil and Orophin.

Arwen Imladris · 06-17-2003, 01:46 PM

Hmmm. How about Multiple choice for a change? Well, that is what I am going to do.

Which one is NOT a division of elves?

a)Dark Elves
b)Calaquendi
c)Deep Elves
d)Grey-elves
e)Blue-elves
f)Golug

Eruanna · 06-17-2003, 01:51 PM

I think it is E...the Blue Elves.

Arwen Imladris · 06-17-2003, 02:21 PM

Yup, that was too easy wasn't it? I was trying to throw you with Blue elves because there are blue wizards, also with Golug, because it doesn't sound elvish, that is because it is the Orcish name for the Noldor. Your turn!

Eruanna · 06-17-2003, 05:22 PM

I wasn't sure what Golug meant...but I knew that there weren't any "Blue Elves" [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's another easy (but only if you know the answer) question:

Who was described as being "As kind as Summer.."?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-17-2003, 06:43 PM

Hunch says, Elrond?

Eruanna · 06-17-2003, 07:18 PM

I wish my hunches were as reliable as yours Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*bump* your turn Sophia.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 07:14 AM

Thank you, Beren, Saucepan, and everyone else who has gently nudged me toward my neglected threads in the last few days.

How many of the Eldar (*coughnottheperedhilcough*) chose mortality?

Sophia

Finwe · 06-25-2003, 09:44 AM

None? Luthien was the only "full Elf" that chose mortality, and she probably fits the category of Avari.

Arwen Imladris · 06-25-2003, 12:02 PM

If Finwe is wrong (ya right!)then how about 3?

Elros
Arwen
Lúthien Tinúviel

Or maybe you are also counting Elrohir & Elladan?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-25-2003, 08:44 PM

Welcome to the Downs, Meneltarmacil [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And welcome also to the Quiz Room.

Before posting here, it is worth reading the Quiz Room rules. You must answer a question correctly and have your answer confirmed as correct before you are able to ask a question.

Have a browse through the threads and try answering some of the questions. If you are right, you will then be able to ask the next one, although make sure that it is consistent with the theme of the thread.

And please have fun with the quizzes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 08:50 PM

Actually, Luthien is the answer I'm looking for, as Elros and Arwen are both considered half-elven. Luthien is of the Sindar, a branch of the Teleri who are Eldarin. So yes, Finwe, she's the answer, but she's not of the Avari.

Your go.

Sophia

Finwe · 06-26-2003, 09:05 PM

Ah! Excellent! (BTW, sorry about the Avari thing!)

His name was changed by his father, who tried to change his fate. It didn't work, and he burned in his father's fire.

Lasgalen · 06-27-2003, 04:10 AM

Sounds like you are talking about one of the twins. Ambarto/Umbarto

Finwe · 06-27-2003, 08:24 AM

Yup, you're right!

Lasgalen · 06-27-2003, 03:05 PM

What name did Aredhel give to Maeglin?

Eruanna · 06-27-2003, 03:13 PM

She called him Lomion, which means "Child of the Twilight".

Lasgalen · 06-30-2003, 12:42 AM

Yes. Correct.

Eruanna · 06-30-2003, 12:23 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What was the name of the Grey Elf who was foster-father to Tuor?

Beren87 · 06-30-2003, 02:19 PM

Annael, as Huor had died at Nirnaeth Arnoediad and Rian had died of grief.

Eruanna · 06-30-2003, 04:19 PM

Correct, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orofaniel · 07-06-2003, 11:19 AM

Quote:

Correct, Beren.

It means it's your turn, Beren...hehe [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 07-06-2003, 01:59 PM

Consciousness is not my strongpoint.

Who originally let the Teleri?

Lyra Greenleaf · 07-06-2003, 04:09 PM

If you mean "led" then Elwe and Olwe. Otherwise... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 07-06-2003, 04:14 PM

Woops, I did mean "led". You're correct.

Lyra Greenleaf · 07-08-2003, 11:57 AM

What is the Elvish name for the "Pillar of Heaven"?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-08-2003, 12:16 PM
