Re: New Quiz thread - 3 Jun 2000

I don't know if you mean Balin or Durin VII. Or both. So I say both.

Re: New Quiz thread - 3 Jun 2000

I was looking for Balin and the Dwarves that accompanied him. I don't think that there was ever any mention of a colonization of Moria other than Balin's.

Re: New Quiz thread - 3 Jun 2000

Durin VII was in the fourth age. He is listed on the bottom of the tree at the very end of appendix A. Other than that I don't know where to find him, I could find out later, if you want.

Re: New Quiz thread - 3 Jun 2000

Durin VII is not listed as having lived in Moria.

Let's go to a new question. You got Balin right, burrahobbit, so you ask next.

Re: New Quiz thread - 3 Jun 2000

Man, this one was tricky, it took me some time even to look it up.
Gandalf said it on Caradhras, and these were words of power which kindled a fire. I cannot translate it properly, but &quot;naur&quot; means fire, &quot;an&quot; normally means long, and &quot;ammen&quot; would mean upwards, or into the sky. This way it would be sth. like &quot;Let there be a flame up into the Sky!&quot; or such.
Making a magical fire meant &quot;writing GANDALF IS HERE visible from here to&quot; , erm, very far.

the barrow

They were probably entombed in the burial mound of the last prince of Cardolan. I'm not sure of his name.

Re: the barrow

Quite right. Nor, apparently was the editorial hand (BB?, FB?**, SG?) which redacted the Red Book of Westmarch certain of his name.

Re: The kin-strife

Strife in the fourth and fifth decades of the fifteenth century of the third age had as it origins conflict over the maintenance of pure descent from Tar-Minyatur (thence from the Edain). The bloodline was mingled by Valacar while a diplomatic pawn in Rhovanion. Disconteneted elements in the coastal population revolted and (I believe) formed themeselves as the corsairs of Umbar.

Re: The kin-strife

What a great answer. Of course, it was the blood mingling I was most looking for. That a son of Gondor's royal family could marry a 'lowly' princess of the Northmen made people doubt that the heir was worthy of the throne.
