I'm assuming you mean wreck?

I'm quite sure that Russandol has a very good grasp of the correct word to use here. Wrack is, indeed, the appropriate term.
From Merriam Webster:
Wrack - noun
(Etymology: Middle English, from Old English wræc misery, punishment, something driven by the sea; akin to Old English wrecan to drive, punish - Date: 15th century)
: Ruin, destruction

Live and learn...

Beren87 · 01-29-2003, 03:49 PM

Silmarlën? Can it be found in the Silm?

Russandol · 01-29-2003, 07:14 PM

Try the Unfinished Tales.

Pallando B.C · 01-29-2003, 08:50 PM

Was it Bregor?

Russandol · 01-30-2003, 09:41 AM

Bregor it was, phew ...

Pallando B.C · 01-30-2003, 05:21 PM

Who, of Túrin's outlaw-band, was slain by Orcs when travelling to Nargothrond?

Lindolirian · 01-30-2003, 08:20 PM

It was Orleg. The Orcs thought he and Turin were Noldor, hence their cries of Golug!.

Pallando B.C · 01-30-2003, 10:13 PM

I really need to make these harder...

Your Turn Lindolirian.

Lindolirian · 01-31-2003, 03:51 PM

Yes, the hardest part of trivia is coming up with tough questions...

Who was killed in the same place and same way as his father?

Russandol · 02-01-2003, 04:13 PM

Maeglin, same as his father Eol, was thrown from the walls of Gondolin.

Lindolirian · 02-01-2003, 08:06 PM

Correct!

Lindolirian · 02-10-2003, 02:55 PM

Russandol?

Pallando B.C · 02-17-2003, 04:57 PM

To keep the thread going........

Why did Serindë go to Lorien after the birth of her son.

Beren87 · 02-17-2003, 05:08 PM

Because the birth of Fëanor exhausted her so much that she went to Lorien where her spirit left her body.

Pallando B.C · 02-17-2003, 05:12 PM

Nice.......

Beren87 · 02-17-2003, 05:24 PM

Thanks.

How did the trees shine when Melkor left Valinor?

Lindolirian · 02-19-2003, 03:12 PM

They grew darker.

Quote:

Then it seemed to the people of Valinor that the light of the Trees was dimmed, and the shadows of all standing things grew darker and longer in that time.

Beren87 · 02-21-2003, 11:22 PM

Precisely!

Lindolirian · 02-23-2003, 05:14 PM

What is the Dwavish name for the place where Mîm was slain?

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 06:38 PM

That would be Nulukkizdîn.

Lindolirian · 02-23-2003, 07:13 PM

That it would be. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 07:19 PM

Thank you.

Where did the People of Haleth live?

Lindolirian · 02-23-2003, 07:22 PM

Brethil.

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 07:25 PM

Right! Proceed.

Lindolirian · 02-25-2003, 06:25 PM

Galvorn was used to make which two swords?

Pallando B.C · 02-26-2003, 01:56 AM

Eöl was renouned for using the meteoric iron Galvorn, and he made Anglachel and Anguirel

Lindolirian · 02-26-2003, 03:38 PM

Of course.

Pallando B.C · 02-27-2003, 04:13 AM

Name the three mariners who accompanied Eärendil on his vogages.

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 04:52 AM

They were Falathar, Erellont and Aerandir according to my translated Silm.

Pallando B.C · 02-27-2003, 04:55 AM

Yes!

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 02:56 AM

Oh good! I had my doubts about the spelling 'cause for example the name of Lalaith was twisted as Lailath! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

So, what is the connection between the Hunting of the Wolf and river Esgalduin?

Estanesse · 03-01-2003, 01:59 PM

That is the place were the hunt for Carcharoth came to an end

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 02:18 PM

Yes, you're right on that but I was looking for something in the line of cause and effect... Can you find it?
And btw. welcome to the Downs, Estanesse!
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-01-2003, 03:10 PM

Oke I will try again

The hunters were following the course of the river Esgalduin.
In a dark valley they found him drinking [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 03:20 PM

Nope, still not it! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I show no mercy to you although you're newly deceased. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Look a few lines further in your Silm...

Estanesse · 03-01-2003, 04:19 PM

I hope this is the correct answer

because Carcharoth the Wolf trunk drunk from the river Esgalduin his pain eased and the hunters (Thingol and company) became the hunted?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 04:32 PM

Ok, I give up on you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I was looking for that part where Huan and Carcharoth were fighting and the ground shook so that the rocks blocked the falls of Esgalduin.
But you were so close that you may continue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
