Of Gondorians and Rohirrim... - Page 16 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Might · 12-16-2007, 11:26 AM

Indeed.

That however goes well with their intelligence.

When had the Rohirrim first met Hobbits?

Nerwen · 12-16-2007, 09:29 PM

When they still lived in the North.

The Might · 12-17-2007, 08:57 AM

Indeed...I would have rather had the location speciffied a bit clearer, but still correct

Nerwen · 12-18-2007, 06:19 AM

In whose reign did the race of uruks first appear?

The Might · 12-21-2007, 06:34 AM

'In the last years of Denethor I the race of uruks, black orcs of great strength, first appeared out of Mordor, and in 2475 they swept across Ithilien and took Osgiliath.'

Nerwen · 12-21-2007, 09:30 PM

Yep. Your turn.

The Might · 12-22-2007, 05:13 AM

Which twins were buried in a single mound?

Nerwen · 12-22-2007, 05:59 AM

Folcred and Fastred.

The Might · 12-22-2007, 06:04 AM

Indeed

Nerwen · 12-22-2007, 06:48 AM

Where was Castamir slain?

Marky Lazer · 12-23-2007, 06:47 AM

At the crossing of Erui.

Nerwen · 12-23-2007, 07:44 AM

Yep.

Over to you.

Marky Lazer · 12-24-2007, 05:05 AM

Thank thee!

Lightfoot was a parent of who?

The Might · 12-24-2007, 06:23 AM

Snowmane

Marky Lazer · 12-24-2007, 06:51 AM

Very correct! Your go obviously...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-02-2008, 07:03 AM

The Might. . . .

The Might · 01-04-2008, 10:26 AM

Ah yes...

From which king of Rohan did Eomund descend?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-04-2008, 07:52 PM

My sources tells me it is Brego

The Might · 01-05-2008, 07:28 AM

Your sources seem to be right.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-05-2008, 08:35 AM

Where did Brego dwell before Meduseld was built?

The Might · 01-05-2008, 08:42 AM

I believe that it was at Aldburg in the Folde just as Eomer did.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-05-2008, 08:53 AM

Yup

I think that Eorl lived there as well. . .not totaly sure though.

The Might · 01-05-2008, 09:06 AM

Yes, only he didn't live to see the Meduseld finished.

Anyhow, which beacon hill(s) was(were) the oldest?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-23-2008, 04:08 PM

I believe it was Amon Din.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-29-2008, 08:52 PM

Is it the correct answer?

The Might · 03-27-2008, 01:35 PM

I was a total Orc for forgetting so yes Legate take it !

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-27-2008, 01:53 PM

He he... what was the thread about?

Okay...

Who were the two Kings of Gondor, who could be given the titles "Kings of the Hill", based on a certain military experience they both shared?

The Might · 03-27-2008, 02:17 PM

I guess first would be Aragorn II since he did get his troops on a hill before the Black Gate...

The second one however... eludes me for now.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-27-2008, 02:23 PM

Mwahaha, try to think then.

Nerwen · 03-27-2008, 09:10 PM

Aragorn II and Ondoher– both took up positions on a knoll (probably the same one) outside the Morannon.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-28-2008, 08:29 AM

Good, Anakin, good! Kill him!

...I mean, your turn, of course

Nerwen · 03-28-2008, 08:40 AM

... I couldn't stop myself, Chancellor...

Talking of Ondoher– after he was slain on that very knoll, who took command of his forces?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-28-2008, 08:44 AM

Minohtar, who was his nephew; although he also didn't last long.

Nerwen · 03-28-2008, 08:51 PM

Yes. Your turn.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-29-2008, 05:08 AM

Looks like we have either several minutes or half-days between the posts...

Okay, a thing that touches the matter, although just on the edge, but it does:

What was the best and fastest way from the Southern to the Northern Kingdom (while Arnor still existed)?

Nerwen · 03-29-2008, 06:13 AM

The North-South Road.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-29-2008, 06:17 AM

*beep* Wrong.

The Might · 03-29-2008, 06:54 PM

The road chose by Isildur, north next to the Vales of the Anduin, then crossing the High Pass.

Quote:

It was a long journey, but the only other way, west and then north to the road-meeting in Arnor, and then east to Imladris, was far longer. 6 As swift, maybe, for mounted men, but he had no horses fit for riding; 7 safer, maybe, in former days, but Sauron was vanquished, and the people of Vales had been his allies in victory. He had no fear, save for weather and weariness, but these men must endure whom need sends far abroad in Middle-earth. 8

Also check the notes for exact descriptions of the distance that would have been saved.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-30-2008, 05:09 AM

Very nice work, Miggy. But I have a little surprise for you: there was still one overall better and faster way which was used

Nerwen · 03-30-2008, 05:11 AM

Gondor Airlines?
