'Tis indeed!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-22-2003, 01:13 PM

What part of nature do the elves not ask for news?

alquadae · 07-22-2003, 04:23 PM

Shooting from the hip// The north wind

Finwe · 07-22-2003, 05:21 PM

Is it the East Wind?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-23-2003, 06:46 PM

It is the East Wind... Legolas mentions it to Gimli at Boromir's funeral.

Carry on Finwe.

Finwe · 07-24-2003, 12:35 PM

All righty then. I suppose it had something to do with the East Wind blowing from Mordor.

Who was the Elf who was named partly after his weapon?

Lyta_Underhill · 07-24-2003, 12:40 PM

Was it Beleg Cuthalion (Strongbow)?

Finwe · 07-24-2003, 12:42 PM

Yup!

Lyta_Underhill · 07-24-2003, 12:48 PM

Thanks, Finwë!

Who is the only elf to ask Galadriel for a tress of her hair? (That I know of!)

Finwe · 07-24-2003, 12:52 PM

Our good ol' Fe-Fe (Fëanor to all you stuffy people without a sense of humor [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

Lyta_Underhill · 07-24-2003, 12:55 PM

Fe-Fe? Heh heh! Right right! And she refused him, too! [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

Finwe · 07-30-2003, 03:52 PM

What scion of a disposessed House fell in love with the same woman his grandfather did? (According to some stories)

Eruanna · 07-31-2003, 06:04 PM

Would that be Celebrimbor?
It is suggested in some tales that he loved Galadriel (he made Nenya for her) but she chose Celeborn instead. Celebrimbor's Grandfather, Feanor was also said to be "a bit partial" to Galadriel, he made the Silmarils in tribute to her beautiful hair. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finwe · 08-04-2003, 08:43 AM

Yep. Quite right!

Eruanna · 08-10-2003, 10:22 AM

Which Elf composed the account of the Creation, and what was this account called?

Lasgalen · 08-14-2003, 02:33 AM

Rumil composed Ainulindale

Eruanna · 08-15-2003, 06:59 AM

Correct, your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lasgalen · 08-17-2003, 03:48 AM

What was the name of Tuor's ship?

Eruanna · 08-17-2003, 07:03 AM

Tuor's ship was called Eärrámë (Sea-Wing)

Lasgalen · 08-17-2003, 01:45 PM

That is correct.

Eruanna · 08-18-2003, 01:54 PM

What name did Feanor give to the substance from which he made the Silmarilli?

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-18-2003, 06:49 PM

Silima, a mysterious crystalline substance which he created himself.

Seems that he fancied himself as a bit of an alchemist, along with his many other talents. Perhaps that's why he became Arda's only exploding Elf. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 08-19-2003, 08:10 AM

What a claim to fame!

I won't be able to think of him as anything other than "The Amazing Exploding Elf", from now on [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And you are correct, by the way, Saucy. Please pose another question.

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-19-2003, 02:23 PM

Thank you Eruanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What was the chief object of Sauron's assault on Eregion? (I'm looking for the name of a building.)

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-25-2003, 05:34 PM

Surely it can't be that hard. A building in Eregion?

Finwe · 08-25-2003, 08:17 PM

The chief treasury of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain, in which the Rings of Power and all other things dear to the Mirdain were kept. I'm not sure if the building had a name or anything.

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-25-2003, 09:47 PM

The House of the Mirdain it was, Finwe. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Please continue.
