Odd PLACE Out - Page 6 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Pallando B.C · 02-26-2003, 03:06 AM

Minas Tirith was never occupied by evil.

Angband was the only structure of the First Age.

Minas Morgul since it was the only place to be taken over by evil.

or Dol Guldur becuase it was the only one to cause a name change for its surroundings.

Annunfuiniel · 02-26-2003, 03:15 AM

Dol Guldur might have been the right answer but it's NOT! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

lathspell · 02-26-2003, 05:45 PM

Minas Tirith is the only place Sauron hasn't been
or
Minas Tirith is the only place where Sauron wasn't ever in the history of M-e in command.

The best I could come up with yet

greetings,
lathspell

Tar-Palantir · 02-26-2003, 08:03 PM

Dol Guldur wasn't raised? (no towers, had no external construct, just a hill?)

I think it did have a tower. I suppose Gandalf would know; he's been there.

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 12:36 AM

Nope and nope! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Hint: One of those places isn't what it first seems (or rather sounds) to be...

Tar-Palantir · 02-27-2003, 12:52 AM

Minas Morgul beacause it used to be Minas Ithil. The others never had another name.

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 01:17 AM

Points to you T-P for that but it still isn't the answer I'm looking for. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hint: Minas Tirith of ???? (just to give you a new perspective)

Tar-Palantir · 02-28-2003, 06:21 PM

Minas Tirith was the only stronghold of good.

Durelin · 02-28-2003, 06:25 PM

Ummmmm...Angband because it's the only place underground? The rest are above ground? Sorry, best I could do! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Durelin · 02-28-2003, 06:31 PM

Wait! Minas Morgul and Minas Ithil are the same place! So is it Minas Ithil because that was the name before???

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 12:40 AM

Oh, my hint was too subtle! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Well, I ment that this Minas Tirith isn't the one in M-E (but still it isn't the answer)...

Tar-Palantir · 03-01-2003, 01:26 AM

Minas Tirith was built and occupied by elves?

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 01:40 AM

That ain't it either but it has to do with who dwelt and where...
Hope this leads you to the right track! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-01-2003, 02:02 AM

This is my last guess [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Minas Morgul because Sauron never actually dwelt there, even though he controlled it.

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 02:19 AM

YES, that's it! *storm of applause* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Your turn.

Tar-Palantir · 03-01-2003, 01:23 PM

Ok, here is another one.

Amon Sûl
Cirith Ungol
Amon Hen
Orodruin

No clues this time..hehehe [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Rose Cotton · 03-01-2003, 02:31 PM

Orodruin because it was never built upon?

Gil-Galad · 03-02-2003, 07:55 PM

Cirith ungol wasn't destroyed

or Cirith ungol was the meanign of the tower when it was in control of evil
(i mean its a different name then its original because Mt.Doom was what man called it and Amon sul and Amon hen was there original names so i would sya Coith Ungol)

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 03-02-2003, 08:21 PM

Cirith Ungol is the only one that refers to a tower, not a hill or mountain with a building in or on it.

Tar-Palantir · 03-02-2003, 08:55 PM

Cirith Ungol is a pass the Rinbearer used, I am not referring to the Tower of Cirith Ungol. I will enlarge the list, and that way an extra clue will be added.

Amon Sûl
Cirith Ungol
Amon Hen
Orodruin
Bree

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

Elfhelm · 03-02-2003, 09:12 PM

Cirith Ungol, because that was the only place listed where Frodo didn't put on the Ring, even though Sam did. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-02-2003, 09:14 PM

YaY, good job.

your turn, Elfhelm. By the way, it is also your turn on the 'Who am I?' thread. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Elfhelm · 03-02-2003, 09:22 PM

Well, here it goes...

Hollin
Amon Hen
Minas Tirith
the Morannon
Woodhall

lathspell · 03-03-2003, 12:09 PM

Hollin is the only place where once lived Elves and not anymore.

Elfhelm · 03-03-2003, 12:35 PM

Well, that's true, but it isn't the answer I'm looking for. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 03-08-2003, 10:52 AM

Amon hen was the only thing that was commanded by men and was left in ruins

the real findorfin · 03-08-2003, 07:13 PM

Woodhall is the only place where a battle hasn't occured.

Alternately, Minas Tirith is the only place Frodo didnt go before the destruction of the Ring.

elven maiden Earwen · 03-16-2003, 03:31 PM

can we have a hint????

Elfhelm · 03-23-2003, 10:09 AM

Nobody has it yet. Think of what the fellowship talked about at these places. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 03-23-2003, 11:14 AM

Minas Tirth was the only one were Frodo&Sam didnt go durring the war of the ring or

gralin musicteeth · 03-23-2003, 12:06 PM

Woodhall is the only place the entire fellowship didn't go (where is the Morannnon)?

elven maiden Earwen · 03-23-2003, 12:07 PM

the Morranon is the black gate

lathspell · 03-23-2003, 04:19 PM

I'm not sure if either of these two is correct, but I'll give it a try:

Woodhall, because all the others were deserted by 'normal' (in which case I don't mean the Crebain of Saruman and such) animals.

OR

Hollin was the only place deserted by both men and animal.

Lyra Greenleaf · 03-29-2003, 12:17 PM

i thought Hollin didn't even exist anymore at the time of the quest!
by the way, Elfhelm have you forgotten this thread?

mordor136 · 03-29-2003, 11:35 PM

I always thought that hollin though deserted
at the time of the quest was still called hollin so it still existed

Lyra Greenleaf · 03-30-2003, 10:53 AM

Oh right. I didn't know that, thanks Mordor!

Arwen Imladris · 03-31-2003, 09:10 PM

The Morannon, (because it is the only one I didn't remember what it was?)

Gil-Galad · 04-08-2003, 05:16 PM

should i start another oen or what?

Gil-Galad · 04-11-2003, 08:27 PM

i guess i will start a new one

1. Imaldris
2. Lothlorien
3. Greenwood/Mirkwood
4. Mithlond
5. Ithilien (FA)

hint: think of the keepers of these places
