Goblins are shorter than Orcs? No, wrong. Ok then, they have different names?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-18-2003, 08:10 PM

From "Riddles in the Dark":

Quote:

"A bit low for goblins, at least for the big ones", thought Bilbo, not knowing that even the big ones, the orcs of the mountains, go along at a great speed stooping low with their hands almost on the ground.

So you are correct, Pallando BC. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 03-18-2003, 08:22 PM

Great!

Who was given a gold writing-set by Bilbo Baggins.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-18-2003, 08:29 PM

Milo Burrows, who never answered letters.

Pallando B.C · 03-18-2003, 08:39 PM

Yes!

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-18-2003, 08:56 PM

What were the names of Otho Sackville-Baggins's parents?

Annunfuiniel · 03-19-2003, 12:34 AM

Longo Baggins and Camellia Sackville.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-19-2003, 11:01 AM

Spot on, Annunfuiniel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-19-2003, 11:12 AM

Who "guarded" the crown of Gondor during the time of the ruling stewards?

elven maiden Earwen · 03-20-2003, 08:56 PM

the stwerds????

Annunfuiniel · 03-22-2003, 03:22 AM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Nope.

piosenniel · 03-22-2003, 04:03 AM

The Crown of Gondor was kept in The Houses of the Dead in Rath Dinen in Minas Tirith.

Annunfuiniel · 03-22-2003, 06:34 AM

That's true, pio. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But where there exactly?
It is said in your books so please humour me and find the precise answer. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

gilraën · 03-22-2003, 07:21 AM

Eärnur's tomb?

piosenniel · 03-22-2003, 05:02 PM

Exact location: It lay upon the lap of King Earnil II in the Houses of the Dead.

Annunfuiniel · 03-23-2003, 01:04 AM

Yes, King Eärnur left the crown in his father's, King Eärnil's, tomb when he went to face the Lord of Morgul (the Witchking). And there it stayed until King Elessar was crowned, "guarded" by the king, for Eärnur never returned.
Good job, piosenniel, please proceed! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How long was Gandalf 'dead'?

Eruanna · 03-23-2003, 08:05 PM

29 days??
Ah! I see my mistake. I was counting from when Gandalf fell off the bridge Silly me!!

[ March 24, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

Mauwurz · 03-23-2003, 08:32 PM

January 25
He(Gandalf) casts downt he Balrog and passes away
February 14
Gandalf reurns to life

The answer I think is 19 days

gilraën · 03-24-2003, 02:12 AM

By my math I make it 20 days BUT since you posted the right days (Jan 25th to Feb 14th) it's your go now Mauwurz. Well done.

gilraën · 04-01-2003, 01:08 PM

Bump!

Pallando B.C · 04-01-2003, 10:35 PM

Instead of posting a one word post like 'bump', you should restart the thread. It has been over 10 days, so you don't have to wait for Mauwurz if you wish to restart this thread. Usually whoever wants to can just restart a thread, but so you get into the habit of things, you should ask the next question Gilraën.

gilraën · 04-02-2003, 12:32 AM

If it had been 10 days I would have. It was only 8 days but I will ask a question.

Who was the smith that forged Angrist and what other famous blade did he smith?

lathspell · 04-02-2003, 10:47 AM

The smith was Telchar, dwarven-smith from Nogrod and the other sword was Narsil, in later days Anduril.

lathspell

gilraën · 04-02-2003, 12:48 PM

Good, your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

lathspell · 04-03-2003, 03:13 PM

Thankee!!

Alright, here's the next.

Who filled the Elves with amazement and why?

Beren87 · 04-03-2003, 05:29 PM

That's quite a broad question...

I'll go with Orome on this one, for his sheer splendor at their first sighting of him.

lathspell · 04-04-2003, 01:40 PM

No, not what I wanted to hear. It's broad, but it's something like a quote... it states (where I got this question) that:.... filled the Elves with amazement because...

Try on [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

gilraën · 04-05-2003, 02:53 PM

From Nogrod and Belegost the Naugrim came forth into Beleriand; and the Elves were filled with amazement, for they had believed themselves to be the only living things in Middle-Earth that spoke with words or wrought with hands, and that all others were but birds and beasts. But they could understand no word of the tongue of the Naugrim, which to their ears was cumbrous and unlovely; and few ever of the Eldar have achieved the mastery of it.

Is that what you meant?

lathspell · 04-06-2003, 09:48 AM

exactly, gilraën! Very good job!

gilraën · 04-06-2003, 10:52 AM

Here's an easy one. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What is Ezellohar and why is it significant?

elven maiden Earwen · 04-06-2003, 10:54 AM

[ April 06, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

gilraën · 04-06-2003, 01:51 PM

yes, your go [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lord Elessar · 04-06-2003, 02:25 PM

The Green Mound before the western gates of Valmar, also called Corollairë, where the Two Trees of Valinor grew.

but your turn i guess !

elven maiden Earwen · 04-06-2003, 09:37 PM

ok
What was Wilwarin and what did it mean?

Beren87 · 04-06-2003, 09:41 PM

From memory, forgive me if I'm wrong.

A constellation formed by the Valar for the Elves' awakening.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-06-2003, 09:45 PM

yup correct and it meant butterfly. your up
