Arvedui died along with the Arnorian Palantirs while trying to head west and then south to the Grey Havens

OR

Ar-Pharazon when he atatcked the Aman and failed, badly, really really badly

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 09:00 PM

No. Arvedui went on a journey west and then south... the answer to this question was bound south and then west.

Gil-Galad · 06-26-2003, 04:45 PM

the Nandor maybe? they went west then when Beleriand was destoyed soem went west
OR
galadriel, she went south too Lothlorien then after not accpeting ring from Frodo she went to the west

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-27-2003, 05:09 AM

Lothlorien? Hm, something about that sounds right...

Gil-Galad · 06-27-2003, 09:56 AM

well am i close enough or far off?

elven maiden Earwen · 06-27-2003, 10:48 AM

Nimrodel! She was headed south to tsake a ship with Amroth west! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-27-2003, 11:29 AM

Of course, Earwen! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruanna- 3
Arestevana- 2
Alak- 1
Annun- 1
Finwe- 1
Earwen- 1

10. Lost at Cerin Amroth.

Sophia

Eruanna · 06-27-2003, 03:22 PM

I can think of two possibilities.

Aragorn's heart....he told Frodo that it would lie there forever.
Or:
Arwen's life.....at Cerin Amroth, she laid down her life, and her grave remains there Until the world is changed...So sad.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-28-2003, 07:53 AM

Eruanna takes it, as I was thinking of Arwen's life.

The final score is:

Eruanna 4
Arestevana 2
Alaklondewen 1
Finwe 1
Earwen 1
Annunfuiniel 1

Eruanna, you may continue! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 06-28-2003, 02:36 PM

The next topic is: Númenor

1) What shape did the Island of Númenor resemble?

Gil-Galad · 06-28-2003, 07:51 PM

A duck! i mean a STAR!

Eruanna · 06-29-2003, 09:38 AM

Yes, a five pointed star.

Gil-galad 1

Next question:

Give at least three other names (and their meanings) for Númenor.

Gil-Galad · 06-29-2003, 11:18 AM

1. Elenna- Starwards
2. Andor- land of gift
3. land of the star- Numenor

[ June 29, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

3) What is the link between Meneltarma (The Pillar of Heaven) and the number three?

Eruanna · 07-02-2003, 12:30 PM

Just *bumping* this up with a hint:

There are some very specific 3s that are mentioned in UT. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 07-02-2003, 01:44 PM

Aha after searching UT for a while I belive I found it.

Three times every year the king of Nemenor would speak upon the pillar of the heavens. He offerd prayer for the following year.

Eruanna · 07-02-2003, 04:46 PM

Yes that's it... but there are other 3s as well [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (two more)

elven maiden Earwen · 07-02-2003, 06:10 PM

If someone would aproch Meneltarma three eagles would appear at once and sit on three rocks unles it was the time of the three prayers where they would hover in the sky.

I can't find the third one. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 07-03-2003, 03:09 PM

Those are the three that I wanted Earwen. Three each of rocks, eagles and prayers. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

4) At what age did the Númenóreans consider a man to have reached "full age"?

Gil-galad 2
Elven Maiden Earwen 1

elven maiden Earwen · 07-03-2003, 03:28 PM

25 I belive?

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-04-2003, 12:56 AM

I've got a feeling it was thirty-three, though I've not looked it up.

Gil-Galad · 07-04-2003, 02:20 PM

42 maybe? aroudn there i guess

Eruanna · 07-05-2003, 05:47 PM

8) What were the small red birds that inhabited Númenor called?

9) Which Númenórean first made the journey across the sea to Middle Earth, and what was the name of his ship?

Gil-Galad · 07-12-2003, 04:57 PM

it was Aldarion and his ship name is Eambar

Eruanna · 07-13-2003, 04:16 PM

There was another, before Aldarion.

Gil-Galad · 07-14-2003, 10:57 AM

i doubt it would be Tuor, or earendil since they were kinda in relation too the Numernoreans

Eruanna · 07-14-2003, 11:39 AM

You're right in thinking it wasn't Tuor or Earendil [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
You were a bit warmer with Aldarion....although it wasn't him [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-16-2003, 01:46 AM

It was Veantur, who sailed to Lindon and renewed contact with Cirdan and the Eldar in Middle-Earth.

Eruanna · 07-16-2003, 08:12 AM

It was Veantur,indeed (Aldarion's father-in-law).
For full marks on the question: What was his ship called? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 07-16-2003, 10:49 AM

his ship was called Entulesse which means "return"

Edit: when i was reading it said that Veantur was Aldarions Grandfather

[ July 16, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

Eruanna · 07-16-2003, 02:07 PM

Yes, you're right Gil-galad, about the name of the ship and Veantur being Aldarion's grandpa. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I wrote from memory, should have checked first!

I think both you and Gwaihir should have a point each...if that is ok, by the rules.

Gil-galad 3
Elven Maiden Earwen 4
Alquadae 2
Gwaihir 1

Question 10) By what other name was the region of Eldalondë known, and what was the reason for this name?
