A new trivia thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

02-14-2002, 11:08 PM

Seeing as how I'm new here, I thought I'd start a new trivia topic. (that and the fact that I couldn't catch a current one that I could join because they were all answered) [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

So here's my question:

When the Fellowship was preparing to leave Lothlorien, the elves stowed some rope in thier boats. What were those ropes made of?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-14-2002, 11:16 PM

hithlain

02-14-2002, 11:30 PM

Correct! Your turn!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-15-2002, 12:26 AM

Who was Artanis?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-15-2002, 08:40 AM

Galadriel's father-name, meaning noble woman

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-15-2002, 10:13 PM

That is correct, Androndo.
You may proceed.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-16-2002, 04:11 PM

Ok, who was the only sister of Angrod?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-16-2002, 05:15 PM

Well, the name her father gave her was Artanis, her mother named her Nerwen, her husband called her Alatariel, but the name she called herself and is best known by is Galadriel!

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-17-2002, 08:51 AM

blah blah blah...
(meaning: Yes)

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 09:21 AM

What and where was Arandor?

Legolas · 02-17-2002, 12:50 PM

Area of Númenor around its capital, Armenelos.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 01:21 PM

Yep!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Legolas · 02-17-2002, 01:29 PM

What is Pelóri?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 01:33 PM

The defensive shield-wall of mountains along the coast of Aman.

Joy · 02-17-2002, 01:37 PM

The mountain range of defence of Aman, raised by the Valar to protect themselves Melkor. The highest peak was Taniquetil, where Manwë and Varda lived.

Legolas · 02-17-2002, 01:41 PM

Go ahead, Bruce.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 05:39 PM

What was Labadal's real name?

Joy · 02-17-2002, 05:49 PM

Sador was Labadal's real name. I probably won't be able to answer much more. My friend is leaving tonight. He's helping me out. His name is Steve.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 05:58 PM

OK, Joy. If need be, I'll ask thx next one for you. But until then, it's your turn. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Joy · 02-17-2002, 06:39 PM

I have one. I have been doing some study since my friend has been here. He told me about the Ency of Arda last night.

What other names does Thorongil go by, what does it mean and why did he use this name. Be specific.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 07:47 PM

That's quite a large answer you want, but here goes.
Thorongil, "eagle of the star", was the name used by Aragorn in the service of Ecthelion, Steward of Gondor. He was also called Estel, "hope", while living in Rivendell; Aragorn; Strider; Longshanks, by Bill Ferny; Dunedan, "man of the West", by Bilbo; Elessar, "elf stone", as king; and Telcontar, a translation of "Strider", the name he took as the name of his house. I'm sure that there is one or two that I forgot, but for the most part, that should be a good answer. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Joy · 02-17-2002, 08:42 PM

Very good Bruce. You win the Grand Prize:

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 09:47 PM

Who led the Men of Ringló Vale in battle?

Theodred21 · 02-17-2002, 10:34 PM

Dervorin I believe.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 10:39 PM

Yep!
That is correct.

Theodred21 · 02-20-2002, 09:59 AM

What is the translation of the Quenya word: 'aha'?

zifnab · 02-20-2002, 10:16 AM

aha:rage

BTW Bruce, is that "Skelator" I see under your name?!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-20-2002, 10:56 AM

zifnab · 02-21-2002, 10:27 AM

What was the "Mannish" tongue of the Númenóreans?

What was it called?

Theodred21 · 02-21-2002, 10:28 AM

Andunaic!

zifnab · 02-21-2002, 10:34 AM

Correct Theodred21, it was Adûnaic. Man-oh-man, that was up for a whole minute! Good job!

02-21-2002, 06:56 PM

Here's a question: What were the names of the Lamps of the Valar, and where were they?

zifnab · 02-21-2002, 08:35 PM

Sorry Loremaster, but you have to wait your turn. By answering a question right it becomes your turn. It is now Theodred21's turn. You can always start a new thread if you like. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Theodred21 · 03-01-2002, 10:30 PM

Well said zif!

What are the Regions of Everlasting cold?

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-01-2002, 10:43 PM

North of Utumno, bordered by the Iron Mountains.

Theodred21 · 03-02-2002, 02:56 PM

Yes, also known as Dor Daidelos, go on.

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-03-2002, 12:51 AM

What was the name of the chain used to bind Morgoth, and what was it made of?

Turambar · 03-03-2002, 07:38 AM

Angainor, made of Aulë's special alloy Tilkal.

Mat_Heathertoes · 03-03-2002, 09:12 AM

Not forgetting of course the manacles and fetters named Vorotemnar and Ilterindi respectively [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
