Slightly Easier Trivia - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elenya · 04-20-2002, 09:41 AM

Alrighty then: Since almost all of you are deeper into Tolkien than I will ever be...I've decided to start my own trivia chain for those of us who don't have a clue what the other peoples(hobbits, dwarfs, elves, etc.) mean when they ask their impossible questions.

How many dwarfs accompanied Bilbo in The Hobbit? and name them!

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 04-20-2002, 11:34 AM

The names of the drawes are Thorin, Oin, Gloin, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Kili, Fili, Bofur, Dori, Bombur, Nori, Ori, and there are 13.

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 04-20-2002, 11:36 AM

Knowing that I'm right, i'll go right ahead with my question.

By what name do the people of Gondor refer to Gandalf?

Telchar · 04-20-2002, 02:14 PM

*Giggles*

Arwen Imladris · 04-20-2002, 02:26 PM

Mithrandir

Is that right?

If it is then my question is: What is Pippin's last name?

The_Elf_Girl · 04-20-2002, 05:26 PM

Pippin's last name is Took.

KingCarlton · 04-21-2002, 12:22 AM

Arwen Imladris - you were incorrect.

Incánus is Gandalf’s name in the south(Gondor) of Middle-earth.

Mithrandir is the Elven name for Gandalf.

Voronwe · 04-21-2002, 04:35 AM

No, she was correct. If you want a quote I can provide one.

KingCarlton · 04-21-2002, 04:44 AM

Just one qoute....let's hear it then.

Voronwe · 04-21-2002, 09:54 AM

Quote:

'Mithrandir we called him in elf-fashion,' said Faramir, 'and he was content. Many are my names in many countries, he said. Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkûn to the Dwarves; Olórin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Incánus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not.'

It is possible, depending on which version of a note found in Unfinshed Tales that you wish to believe, that Incánus was a Quenya name of Gandalf's in Gondor about 1800 years before the Lord of the Rings. However it is also possible that it is a word in the language of Harad meaning 'North-spy'. In any case it seems clear from Faramir's statement that Mithradir was Gandalf's name in Gondor at the time of the Lord of the Rings.

After all that, I believe it's The_Elf_Girl's turn to ask a question.

The_Elf_Girl · 04-21-2002, 04:21 PM

This is a really easy one but I'm so tired I can't come up with anything else. Sorry.

What is the name of Sam's first daughter?

Arwen Imladris · 04-21-2002, 07:33 PM

Ha Ha! I was right! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elanor (Sp?) One of the flowers from Lothlorien.

Was I right?

If I was then the next question is:
How old was Bilbo when Frodo was 33?

KingCarlton · 04-22-2002, 02:35 AM

Allright, I stand corrected...but I am not going to sulk.
I wonder what happened to the one who posed that question.

Bilbo was 111 at the time Frodo was 33.
Eleventy one(or is it eleventy eleven) as those insipid fools called it.

well...???

Arwen Imladris · 04-22-2002, 02:09 PM

right! next question?

KingCarlton · 04-23-2002, 12:15 AM

Who was Bullroarer ?

Elenya · 04-23-2002, 03:56 PM

He was Bandobras Took and it was his admiring nickname!

Where is the Sea-of Rhun?

Lindolirian · 04-23-2002, 04:11 PM

The Sea of Rhun is in the East kinda north of Mordor and south of the Iron Hills. The River Running flows into it.

Lindolirian · 04-25-2002, 02:32 PM

o right gee almost forgot.... just kidding i DID forget.... a question!!!! hahaha okay i'm an idiot..... never mind here goes:

What was the first thing stolen from Smaug's horde of treasure?

i'm tryin to be easy here....

Arwen Imladris · 04-28-2002, 02:14 PM

A cup, I think it was a golden cup with two handles. Bilbo stole it.

Was I correct?

If I was the next question is where is Legolas from?

Lindolirian · 04-28-2002, 03:13 PM

Very Good! your turn

Arwen Imladris · 05-01-2002, 02:51 PM

where is Legolas from?

Lindolirian · 05-01-2002, 04:33 PM

He is from the Elven Realm of Thranduil in North eastern Mirkwood also know as Greenwood the Great.

Arwen Imladris · 05-04-2002, 07:01 PM

Yup, Lindolirian you are correct! Your turn!

Lindolirian · 05-04-2002, 07:08 PM

Who serves the best beer in all of Eriador?

thanx to Gandalf that is....

Lómelindi · 05-04-2002, 10:01 PM

Barliman Butterbur, at his Prancing Pony Inn

Lindolirian · 05-05-2002, 02:56 PM

Good Job, Lomelindi! It's your turn.

Elenya · 05-05-2002, 03:26 PM

Just popping in to see how everythings going! Really surprised to see that this took off. I'd offer a question, but it's not my turn to ask!

Elenya · 05-05-2002, 04:02 PM

Screw the whole "It's not my turn" thing, I'm getting impatient. Alright: How does Eowyn kill the King of the Nazgul?

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 05-05-2002, 04:22 PM

With the help of Merry, they slaughter him with their swords during the battle of Pelenor Fields.

Lómelindi · 05-05-2002, 05:56 PM

Alright, whatever. Anyways, here's my question that should have been asked:

What happens to Merry and Pippin after they drink Ent-draught?

Flittermouse · 05-05-2002, 08:26 PM

If you mean the effects of the Ent draught, they grew taller, stronger and grew thicker hair.

Lómelindi · 05-05-2002, 08:28 PM

Affirmative! Your turn to post a question, Flittermous.

Flittermouse · 05-06-2002, 02:26 PM

What is displayed on the banner of Rohan?

Lindolirian · 05-06-2002, 02:27 PM

A white horse on a green background.... just like the pic above!

Elenya · 05-06-2002, 02:52 PM

Hey Lindo! Just where is The Land of the Flying Canadian Wombats?

Lindolirian · 05-06-2002, 04:02 PM

ummmmmmmm... i have no idea. I just think it sounds funny.

Flittermouse · 05-06-2002, 04:48 PM

correct

Lindolirian · 05-06-2002, 07:07 PM

What did Thorin shoot as his company prepared to cross the Enchanted River of Mirkwood Forest?

Nevfeniel · 05-06-2002, 07:47 PM

A deer.
BTW, that's a funny addition to your sig, Lindolirian!

[ May 06, 2002: Message edited by: Nevfeniel ]

Lindolirian · 05-07-2002, 02:17 PM

Yes it was a stag actually but thats a kind of deer so i'll count it.
