Yes hobbitlass! THAT was the answer I was looking for. And at the end, the scores seem to be:
Thengise-2
Tolkiengurl-4
tom bombariffic-1
King Turgon-1
Hobbitlass-1

Which means that Tolkiengurl is the winner! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Alright, here's question number 1. There are two parts:

Whom did Thingol reward with fair pearls?
Where did these pearls come from?


Might be too easy...

Great!

At the time of the War of the Ring, this Man was a ruler. He was known as 'the Old' and also 'the Fat.' He aided in the Siege of Minas Tirith, but was cut down on the Pelennor Fields. Who was he and what country did he rule?

Trahald was another name for Gollum. It meant 'burrowing'.

Nahald was another name for Deagol. It meant 'secret'.
