WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME! To the greatest game show on the Elven Network. I am your host, Galadel Vinorel, and I will guiding you through this fun and exciting game.

This is how it works. I will begin the game by asking a qustion. Whoever gets it right first may ask the next question. So on, and so forth.

Quote:
Rules for the Questions~

Questions must only be about Elven Trivia: such as Elven folklore, Elven places, Elven people, Elven mythology, and other such elven topics.
For every question that you get right you will recieve one point. These totals will be totaled and scored each week. At the end of the month whoever has the highest score will recieve the privelege to begin the next month with the first question and will be scored in the Elven Hall of Fame. Hopefully, we may even have some tournaments between players if this game becomes large enough.

Silmaril First Question

This first one is an Elven "mythology" question.

An island was used by Ulmo to transport elves over the sea to Valinor.
Where did a piece of this island break off and what name was it given?

The piece broke off at the shaols at the mouth of the Sirion, and it was called the Isle of Balar.

Actually, Luthien, Earendil and the Dol Amroth guy (Galdor?) were the only true half-elven.

Okay, at the end of the Third Age, who was the oldest Elf living in Middle-earth?

By the way, who is keeping track of scoring?

I think Galadel is keeping track.

Anyway, which two elves were "unfriends forever"?

Here's a hypothetical question...

Here's an easy one:

If Fëanor's House wasn't 'Dispossessed' of the Kingship of the Noldor, who would have been High King of the Noldor at the end of the First Age?

Well, actually, Maglor threw the simaril into the sea and wanders the beaches, so i guess Maglor is the answer. So, although Celebrimbor is probably the answer, i must stick to Maglor!
