Because he cut out the heart of his father, Finwë Nólemë, after his death in the Battle of the Unnumbered Tears.

NightKnight · 09-23-2004, 10:52 AM

Very close, but not quite it.

Nanedhel · 10-14-2004, 07:10 PM

During the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, Turgon recovered the body of his father, Nólemë (Finwë), including his heart, which had been cut out by Orcs. His father's heart became his emblem.

NightKnight · 10-17-2004, 08:51 AM

Perfect!

Nanedhel · 10-17-2004, 09:27 AM

Who feared neither sword nor knife nor scimitar, no dart of bow, nor cast of spear, master or man?

Lindolirian · 10-17-2004, 01:14 PM

Huan

Nanedhel · 10-17-2004, 06:11 PM

You are right, Lindolirian

Lindolirian · 10-17-2004, 08:49 PM

Who were the last casualties in the War of the Jewels?

NightKnight · 10-18-2004, 05:22 AM

Maedhros (and Maglor)?

Lindolirian · 10-19-2004, 02:15 PM

Not really, since he killed himself.

Gil-Galad · 10-19-2004, 06:25 PM

probaly will be the casualties in the War of the Wrath

Lindolirian · 10-19-2004, 06:59 PM

Close, but technically that was over by the time these ones were killed.

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-19-2004, 07:44 PM

The guards at the camp of Eonwe.

Lindolirian · 10-19-2004, 08:34 PM

That's it!

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-25-2004, 04:36 PM

Ohhh, missed this thread for a while. Here goes...

What did Luthien see as a white light starting from a green jewel?

NightKnight · 10-26-2004, 05:11 AM

The Silmaril?

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-26-2004, 03:12 PM

nope

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-31-2004, 07:47 AM

Another clue perhaps...Luthien had to look down to see this 'white light starting from a green jewel'.

Lindolirian · 10-31-2004, 12:49 PM

O! That did it for me. Gondolin! Why couldn't I think of it before?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-02-2004, 06:22 PM

Correct!

Lindolirian · 11-02-2004, 07:36 PM

What are the seven names of the previous answer?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-03-2004, 03:49 AM

Then said Tuor: “What be those names?” And the chief of the Guard made answer: “ ‘Tis said and ‘tis sung: ‘Gondobar am I called and Gondothlimbar, City of Stone and City of the Dwellers in Stone; Gondolin the Stone of Song and Gwarestrin am I named, the Tower of the Guard, Gar Thurion or the Secret Place, for I am hidden from the eyes of Melko; but they who love me most greatly call me Loth, for like the flower am I, even Lothengriol the flower that blooms on the plain.’ Yet,” said he, “in our daily speech we speak and we name it mostly Gondolin.”

Lindolirian · 11-03-2004, 04:55 PM

Erm.. well yeah, I'll take it.

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-04-2004, 05:03 PM

Somehow I expected more enthusiasm for a quoted answer

But, I'll take it

Why did Ulmo and Tulkas obey Manwe's judgement concerning Melkor?

Lindolirian · 11-04-2004, 08:34 PM

Because those who defend authority from rebellion must not themselves rebel.
Not in quotes, cause its from memory and I don't know if it's verbatim.

My lack of enthusiasm was because I wasn't expecting the HoME version, but since I didn't specify, I gave it to you.

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-05-2004, 07:06 AM

You got it, Lindolirian!

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-15-2004, 09:16 AM

yoo-hoo, Lindo

Lindolirian · 11-17-2004, 07:23 AM

I'm sorry, I totally forgot about this thread!
Who built the hall beneath Mt. Taras?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-18-2004, 01:09 AM

Turgon?

Lindolirian · 11-18-2004, 10:12 AM

Turgon it was!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-18-2004, 09:40 PM

What was the name of these halls (that Turgon built beneath Mt. Taras)?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-19-2004, 04:50 AM

Vinyamar, the First Homely House east of the sea

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-19-2004, 11:14 PM

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-20-2004, 08:06 AM

you-thank, Nil

In what year did Tuor come to the deserted halls of Vinyamar?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-30-2004, 07:18 AM

bumpin'

12-06-2004, 11:10 PM

I believe it was the year 496.

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-07-2004, 04:25 AM

Close enough...I have two sources that give two different years of his escape from Lorgan. One says 490, the other says 492. So, after 4 years of living in solitude...that makes either 494 or 496. So, at long last...you are correct!

12-09-2004, 02:11 AM

What star was most beloved by the Elves?

Gil-Galad · 12-09-2004, 08:21 AM

Probaly the star of Earendil, as Galadriel described it, a light when all lights go out

12-09-2004, 10:07 AM

Of course Gil-galad would know that Eärendil, his sister's son, is correct.
