Sting Of Gondorians and Rohirrim...

here is a simple trivia about the Gondorians and the Rohirrim, so when it is your chance too give a question, say only questions that relate too the Gondorians and/or Rohirrim (remember to give explanation)


What was Theodens Bane?


(it is tricky)

Oops, sorry, I missed that. Ok - Snowmane because in the middle of the battle he fell and crushed Theoden under him.

My stab at it, Eomer.
He served Theoden, horse-master (horses being swift)
Then served Gandalf (the white) after being exiled, thereby helping to stop the night raid of the Uruk-hai at Helm's Deep.
The last line I guess to be about him still serving Rohan even after being exiled and of course still serving when he is unexiled (?).
Okay, you can laugh now! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I appreciate that you were considering doing that, Gil-Galad, even if you didn't actually bother. But anyway, in future. If you can't grab my attention on the thread - PMing me will always bring me here within a day, so next time I lose track please let me know!

(I tend to forget about them after I've answered, you see. Display of terrible absent-mindedness but there you go.)

As for your question - could it be Gandalf?
Server of the swift: Not too sure about this one, but Shadowfax or Gwaihir perhaps?
Server of the White: Saruman
Server of the High Sun: 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor'
Killer of the darkness raid: Light-bringing, piercing shadows of Nazgul
Slayer of my dark kin: The slaying of the Balrog
Left I did, reclaimed I also did: Left the Undying Lands, found them again.

Is it Aragorn?
Specifically when he served in Minas Tirith under a different name?
Server of the swift- I don't know this one
Server of the White- Gandalf? Or the White Tower?
Server of the high sun- Minas Anor, tower of the sun, I believe.
Killer of the darkness raid-
slayer of my dark kin
left i did after i've done my duty, reclaimed i also did- He left the city after serving there, then returned as king

I'm probably wrong, but that's my guess...

Still Aragorn-
Server of the swift- he served with the Rohirrim before going to Gondor.
The "Dark Kin"- the men at Umbar that he drove away so he could take the ships.

Gil-Galad, I think that you are expecting rather too much in the way of answers to your questions. Yes, you are of course entitled to insist on the correct name being given (which I agree has not yet been given on the current question). And you are also entitled to expect some explanation of your clue when it is in riddle or cryptic form.

But, I think that once you get the right answer and some (even if not a complete) explanation of how it was arrived at, then it's time to move on to the next question. You do not need every part of the clue explained (you can always explain any parts of the clue that remain a mystery yourself when you confirm the answer). Otherwise the thread tends to drag and people might get put off.

Also, please try to avoid making 2 or 3 posts in a row. It's often better simply edit your original post.

Thanks. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Cut that out, you two. The Forum Policies make it clear that there is to be no flaming, trolling or insulting. So please calm down or you will risk having your posting privileges revoked.

Now, Gil-Galad, it seems to me that miellien has given the correct answer and sufficient explanation of your clue. Would you not agree that he or she may now continue?

They were struggling with the Fell Winter themselves, and many things perished in Gondor, including the White Tree.
