No, that's not the answer.

Clue : - it's about time.

Russandol · 01-20-2003, 08:25 AM

Do I claim victory in this thread?

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Woo-Hoo! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Answer - The Sea of Rhun

All the others are mentioned as having existed in the First Age of the world.

Russandol · 01-20-2003, 08:50 AM

Next one :

Umbar
Edhellond
Lond Daer Enedh
Pelargir

Lindolirian · 01-20-2003, 10:33 AM

Edhellond is the only port not manned by Men.

Russandol · 01-20-2003, 10:35 AM

Too easy for you Lindolirian. The floor's all yours ...

Lindolirian · 01-21-2003, 08:22 PM

Nargothrond
Dorthonion
Menegroth
Tol Sirion

Beren87 · 01-21-2003, 08:38 PM

Well, they've all been sacked at one time or another, so that doesn't help at all...

the real findorfin · 01-22-2003, 04:46 AM

Isn't Dorthonion the only place, by which I mean all theothers are buildings?? But is that too easy (or completely wrong [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

Ultimatejoe · 01-22-2003, 06:10 AM

Dorthonion is the only region populated by men?

Russandol · 01-22-2003, 11:07 AM

Hmm, not sure here ...

Is it ...

a) Menegroth as the other three were realmlets founded by Noldorian princes ?

b) Dorthonion - the only place to remain above water after the War of Wrath?

c) Menegroth again as the other three were habitations of the Enemy at some point?

Lindolirian · 01-22-2003, 03:39 PM

No, no, no, and no. Keep trying!!!

Russandol · 01-22-2003, 04:07 PM

Dorthonion - The other three could only be reached by bridge.

Lindolirian · 01-22-2003, 04:47 PM

Gee whiz, there are so many answers for this one. Still not it!

Ultimatejoe · 01-22-2003, 11:02 PM

Tol Sirion is the only one with a name in Quenya?

Russandol · 01-23-2003, 11:32 AM

Dorthonion again as the other three were visited by Luthien Tinuviel.

Ultimatejoe · 01-23-2003, 04:45 PM

I think that when we throw these riddles together we REALLY should try to arrange them so there is only one possible solution.

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 02:24 PM

I think we should stop spamming. That's impossible to do by the way.

Tol Sirion, the only one not repopuluated after it was sacked?

Lindolirian · 01-27-2003, 08:16 PM

Hint: They are all places that one Man has been. Except one, of course...

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 08:23 PM

Well, Turin has been to everyone except for Tol Sirion I believe.

Lindolirian · 01-27-2003, 08:23 PM

Correct!

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 08:30 PM

Great!

Gladden Fields
Mt.Doom
The Shire
Dale

elven maiden Earwen · 01-27-2003, 09:33 PM

dale because it is the only place frodo didnt go

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 09:35 PM

Nope.

Ultimatejoe · 01-28-2003, 07:57 AM

The Shire is the only place west of the Misty Mountains?

Lyra Greenleaf · 01-28-2003, 01:25 PM

Dale was the only place that didnt have a battle named after it?
(it was called the battle of 5 armies right?)

Ultimatejoe · 01-28-2003, 03:04 PM

The Shire didn't have a battle named after it. The Battle that Bandorabas Took was in was called the Battle of the North Downs was it not? The only other battle in the Shire was called the Battle of Bywater.

Beren87 · 01-28-2003, 03:43 PM

Sorry to say their all wrong. It deals with an object.

Lindolirian · 01-28-2003, 04:21 PM

The Ring has not been to Dale. I think Bilbo went around it on his way to the Lonely Mountain.

Beren87 · 01-28-2003, 07:08 PM

Correct Lindolirian!

elven maiden Earwen · 01-30-2003, 10:42 PM

its been a while now so im going to post

Minas Tirth
Rivendell
Valinor
Shire

Beren87 · 01-30-2003, 11:42 PM

Elven Arwen Maiden, please read the Quiz Room Rules where it is clearly stated that Lindolirian has 10 days to post on this thread.

Lindolirian · 01-31-2003, 03:46 PM

Formenos
Menegroth
Mouths of Sirion
Angband

[ February 03, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Ultimatejoe · 01-31-2003, 07:23 PM

A king of the Eldar died at each one except the Mouths of the Sirion?

[ January 31, 2003: Message edited by: Ultimatejoe ]

Lindolirian · 02-02-2003, 10:10 AM

Not quite. I thought this one was very easy actually.

lathspell · 02-02-2003, 10:15 AM

Mouths of Sirion, I guess.

The other three all are fortified places or strongholds.

greetings,
lathspell

Lindolirian · 02-02-2003, 10:16 AM

Hmm.... And I'm even giving a subtle little hint...

Ultimatejoe · 02-03-2003, 07:18 PM

Only Formenos is in Valinor?

Pallando B.C · 02-04-2003, 04:30 AM

Formenos, since Mortal Men have been everywhere else. Maybe a bit too easy ?

lathspell · 02-05-2003, 04:38 AM

Mouths of Sirion is the only made by nature itself and not by Elves, Dwarves etc.

Lindolirian · 02-05-2003, 03:37 PM

They're all a place where something has been.
