Well, the transfer thing was symbolism-laden, too. It meant "I don't want to live too near that place." *points to East*

Enedwaith, which creature has the longest sight range?

The Elf-warrior · 04-09-2005, 08:08 PM

Eagles?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-10-2005, 05:42 AM

This tidbit is found in UT.

Evisse the Blue · 05-03-2005, 06:00 AM

Well, assuming Manwë is a creature (

), that would be him when he sits on Taniquetil with Varda at his side.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-10-2005, 11:00 PM

It's a beast, a cunning one at that.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-24-2005, 09:14 PM

Anyone?

Lostgaeriel · 08-25-2005, 12:35 AM

I believe that the creature having the longest sight range is Glaurung, the first of the Dragons of Morgoth.

Quote:

But Glaurung lay there, just within the shadow of the great passage that led inward from the ruined Doors, and he had long been aware of the spies, though few other eyes in Middle-earth would have discerned them. But the glance of his fell eyes was keener than that of eagles, and outreached the far sight of the Elves; and indeed he knew also that some remained behind and sat upon the bare top of Amon Ethir.

- UT, II Narn I Hîn Húrin, The Journey of Morwen and Nienor to Nargothrond

I don't know if this quote is definitive, but eyesight better than eagles & Eves is something special indeed.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-25-2005, 12:57 AM

Your turn!

Lostgaeriel · 08-30-2005, 09:41 AM

Who was the proudest and most self-willed of the Eldar?

arcticstorm · 08-30-2005, 11:14 AM

who is Feanor

Lostgaeriel · 09-01-2005, 05:57 PM

Umm...arcticstorm...uh...this isn't Jeopardy! Your answer should be in the form of an answer, not in the form of a question (although, you neglected to include a question mark).

Yes, Fëanor is the correct ANSWER according to The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I The Numenorean Kings, (i) Númenor:

Quote:

Fëanor was the greatest of the Eldar in arts and lore, but also the proudest and most self-willed.

Fëanor is just the most.

Your turn arcticstorm - time to ask a QUESTION!

arcticstorm · 09-01-2005, 06:23 PM

What is the longest lay that speaks of the anciemt times of middle earth?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-01-2005, 08:49 PM

Lay of the Children of Húrin?

The Perky Ent · 09-01-2005, 09:21 PM

Lay of Leithian?

arcticstorm · 09-02-2005, 11:09 AM

You've got it Nilp.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-04-2005, 06:47 PM

Oh dear, now I have to come up with a question. Hmmm . . .

Who was said to be the greatest of mortal warriors?

Gil-Galad · 09-04-2005, 08:43 PM

Beren? or maybe it was Hurin...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-04-2005, 08:53 PM

I should have used 'mightiest' instead of 'greatest', but you still got it anyhow.

Your turn.

Gil-Galad · 09-04-2005, 08:55 PM

now i have too think...

Which Elven Love story is regarded as the most tragic?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-04-2005, 09:09 PM

Lay of Leithian?

Gil-Galad · 09-04-2005, 09:20 PM

nope, not the one i'm thinking of

NightKnight · 09-05-2005, 01:36 PM

Could it be the one about Nimrodel?

Gil-Galad · 09-05-2005, 03:51 PM

NightKnight is correct, Nimrodel and Amroth, very tragic indeed

NightKnight · 09-06-2005, 08:53 AM

Who was the greatest troll-slayer of all time?

Hiriel · 09-06-2005, 09:35 AM

Hurin?

I remember the quote, i just dind't remember the name

NightKnight · 09-06-2005, 12:33 PM

'Tis him. Your turn.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-14-2005, 08:08 PM

Hiriel?

Hiriel · 09-17-2005, 05:52 PM

Sorry, forgot I posted here. Heh. Ok.

Who was the first Took to marry a Baggings?

Márcolië Lamen · 09-17-2005, 10:47 PM

Definitally feel like I'm wrong and there's somehting I'm obviously missing but I'll guess anyways...

Hildigrim Took?

Hiriel · 09-22-2005, 06:31 PM

Nope. Close, though

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 06:44 PM

I too would say Hilidigrim, but since it is wrong. I will have too guess on Belladonna Took

Hiriel · 09-27-2005, 02:47 PM

Thats the one.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-27-2005, 03:47 PM

What is the oldest name for Teleri

The Perky Ent · 09-27-2005, 04:06 PM

Lindar?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-27-2005, 04:21 PM

yes

The Perky Ent · 09-27-2005, 05:03 PM

Yay! Now I can ask a question I've been wanting too for quite some time!

Who is the first known elf to die?

Gil-Galad · 09-27-2005, 05:06 PM

Finwe's first wife, mother of Feanor, Miriel Serinde

Telchar · 09-27-2005, 05:08 PM

Míriel Serindë ?

The Perky Ent · 09-27-2005, 05:18 PM

Crush my dreams before they even start. I was hoping at least one person would guess Finwe, they I could say they were wrong and flaunt my signature! But you, Gil-Galad, are correct. I'm not counting accents (unless Telchar was going to post before Gil-Galad, but Gil got there first)

Gil-Galad · 09-27-2005, 05:33 PM

alrighty... What race did the Ents fist assualt(that is chronicled in the Silmarillion)
