Cheers Lindol.

Name three coastal bodies of water in Third Age Middle-earth.

NightKnight · 04-21-2004, 08:01 AM

The bay of Belfalas, the gulf of Lhun and the bay of Forochel?

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-21-2004, 08:26 AM

Those are the ones that I had, so you're up next NightKnight.

NightKnight · 04-22-2004, 01:53 PM

Name three elven kings that had realms that bordered the sea.

Bombadil · 04-22-2004, 02:52 PM

Cirdan the shipwright, Gil-Galad, and Fingolfin?

NightKnight · 04-23-2004, 03:54 AM

Sure.

Bombadil · 04-23-2004, 09:03 PM

Angmar
Barad-Dur
Dol Gulder
Angband
Minas Morgul
Halls of Mandos

NightKnight · 04-24-2004, 03:58 AM

Angmar and Minas Morgul - Both were ruled by one or more Nazgûl
Barad-Dur and Dol Guldur - Both were ruled by Sauron
Angband and Halls of Mandos - Both were ruled by a vala

Bombadil · 04-24-2004, 07:24 AM

Very good!

NightKnight · 04-25-2004, 04:00 AM

Kinda like the Matching Game there...

Anyway...

Which was the easternmost region of Beleriand, and who lived there?

Bombadil · 04-25-2004, 01:58 PM

Ossiriand, Denethor and the Nandor lived there?

NightKnight · 04-27-2004, 04:35 AM

As did Luthien, Beren, Dior, Nimloth, Elured, Elurin and Elwing.

Your turn.

Bombadil · 04-27-2004, 08:10 AM

define

Amon

and

Emyn

NightKnight · 04-27-2004, 09:52 AM

Amon - Hill or mountain, Emyn - Hills or mountains.

Bombadil · 04-27-2004, 05:55 PM

Parfait!

NightKnight · 04-27-2004, 11:58 PM

Name three regions where you could find Mallorn-trees.

Tulkas the Mighty · 04-28-2004, 06:27 AM

Lorien, Numenor, and the Shire?

NightKnight · 04-28-2004, 08:10 AM

Sure.

Tulkas the Mighty · 04-30-2004, 06:57 AM

Where was the Rimdath?

Lindolirian · 04-30-2004, 02:27 PM

The Rhimdath was a tributary of the Anduin, north of the Carrock.

Tulkas the Mighty · 05-04-2004, 03:33 PM

Yeah sorry about the mispelling

Lindolirian · 05-12-2004, 07:56 AM

Where is the Mound of Avarice?

NightKnight · 05-12-2004, 09:26 AM

Menegroth?

Lindolirian · 05-12-2004, 03:42 PM

Right on!

NightKnight · 05-12-2004, 03:51 PM

Who guarded the High Pass at the end of the third age?

Lindolirian · 05-12-2004, 03:57 PM

The Beornings?

NightKnight · 05-12-2004, 03:59 PM

It was them, led by Grimbeorn the old, Beorn's son.

Lindolirian · 05-12-2004, 04:05 PM

Describe the location of Amon Darthir.

NightKnight · 05-12-2004, 04:09 PM

It was a peak in southern Ered Wethrin, and near it lay the only pass from Dor-Lomin to Beleriand.

Lindolirian · 05-12-2004, 04:10 PM

Yes.

NightKnight · 05-12-2004, 04:12 PM

For how long did Ascar flow before it reached Gelion?

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-12-2004, 05:06 PM

about 100 miles.

NightKnight · 05-13-2004, 11:19 AM

Something like that.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-13-2004, 06:24 PM

ah...clue me in...is the answer correct or not?

Lindolirian · 05-13-2004, 09:25 PM

I see the river's length being closer to 80 miles, but I think NK's answer is in the affirmative. I'd say you can go ahead.

NightKnight · 05-14-2004, 04:56 AM

Yes, that's what I meant. I would have accepted anything between 80-100.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-15-2004, 10:25 AM

What river flowed north from its beginning in Harrowdale, eventually dumping into the Entwash?

Bombadil · 05-15-2004, 10:48 AM

Merring?

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-15-2004, 03:43 PM

No

Son of Númenor · 05-15-2004, 03:57 PM

Might it be the Snowbourn?
