Of course. Please, take the thread

(I must somehow come to be able to put in harder questions, though... is that's possible?)

The Might · 03-17-2007, 01:06 PM

During the Fall of Gondolin, which houses were the first to charge?

LjósÁlfr · 04-07-2007, 10:57 AM

Hmm.... According to The Lost Tales I believe it are The House of the Hammer of Wrath and The House of the Tree (Rog and Galdor were their commanders called I believe?)

Not even sure if this is true, or that it has survived in further tales....

The Might · 04-07-2007, 11:18 AM

Yes, correct

LjósÁlfr · 04-07-2007, 11:32 AM

Cheers!!

What does Eärendilyon refer to? (Not sure if this is mentioned outside of the Lost Tales)

Gil-Galad · 04-07-2007, 06:24 PM

son of Eärendel i'm pretty sure...

LjósÁlfr · 04-08-2007, 02:33 AM

That's what it lituarily means, but who are called Eärendilyon?

The Might · 04-08-2007, 05:23 AM

It was a title given to any mariner, and it did indeed meen son of Earendel.

LjósÁlfr · 04-08-2007, 05:24 AM

Cheers! You've got it!

The Might · 04-08-2007, 08:27 AM

A tricky question indeed.

Anyway, here is one to stay in touch with the CoH release mood:
Why did Saeros first got angry with Turin?

LjósÁlfr · 04-08-2007, 08:32 AM

Because Túrin took his seat at the table of king Thingol?

I think there was soemthing said about Saeros being jeaulous, because Túrin got a lot of favour from the king whilst he was a mortal....

The Might · 04-08-2007, 08:34 AM

Yep

LjósÁlfr · 04-08-2007, 08:39 AM

What does the name Agarwaen son of Úmarth, given to Túrin by himself whilst living in Nargothrond translated into English mean?

The Might · 04-08-2007, 09:40 AM

Agarwaen son of Úmarth would translate as "blood-stained" son of "ill-fate"

LjósÁlfr · 04-08-2007, 10:57 AM

Cheers! Again thou arte succesfull in thy awnser!!

I shalt rejoice upon thy Trivia!

The Might · 04-08-2007, 11:16 AM

I thank thee for thy kind reply...
Speaking like this seems strange somehow...

Which inhabitant(s) of Middle-earth during the War of the Ring escaped the Sack of Doriath?

Celeborn and Galadriel are the only two that spring to mind... But then left before the sacking, so perhaps you were looking for some other names...

The Might · 04-11-2007, 04:51 PM

Yes I realise now the question was asked wrong...it should have been might have escaped
In which case you are correct

Beleg Cuthalion · 05-16-2007, 01:21 PM

Hmmm, killed the thread.

I'll try to get something up soon. Maybe...

The Might · 05-28-2007, 06:58 AM

So much for that promise...

A new one: Who enjoyed the pines of Dorthonion during the winter?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-28-2007, 11:04 AM

Random shot, since I don't know the song from my head, but I guess Treebeard?

The Might · 05-29-2007, 05:14 AM

Bah...you're correct again.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-29-2007, 02:28 PM

Okay... where did the name Cirith Ninniach come from? (meaning, who named that)

The Might · 05-29-2007, 03:12 PM

Tuor named it that way, meaning Rainbow Cleft, after seeing a rainbow while he passed there in 495.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-29-2007, 03:16 PM

Absolutely complete answer.

Please continue with the thread.

The Might · 06-25-2007, 06:12 AM

Well, I'll let someone else take the thread, since this is the last time I'll be online before leaving on vacation, and I wouldn't be able to confirm a correct answer.

The Might · 07-25-2007, 01:09 PM

Seems nobody wished to post...sooo...

How was Mim's shelter on Amon Rudh nicknamed after many had joined Turin and Beleg's cause? (Sindarin name please)

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-25-2007, 01:59 PM

You surely didn't think I wouldn't answer that one?

Echad i Sedryn, the Camp of the Faithful.

The Might · 07-26-2007, 02:15 AM

I was hoping you were not paying enough attention.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-26-2007, 10:20 AM

Ah, that's just too bad.

Anyway... hmmm...

Who was the leader of the "Anti-Orc radical party" among the men of Brethil?

The Might · 07-30-2007, 06:30 AM

Halmir perhaps?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-30-2007, 01:55 PM

Wait...wasn't that Asgon?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 08-01-2007, 07:13 AM

Still the wrong man

Gwathagor · 08-31-2007, 07:17 PM

Dorlas.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 09-03-2007, 09:24 AM

Exactly. Your turn. And welcome at the Downs.

The Might · 09-03-2007, 03:23 PM

So, I'm back as well now, and it's nice to see someone finally answered it.

Gwathagor · 09-10-2007, 12:34 PM

Ok.

Who was Ancalagon and what was his epithet?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-10-2007, 02:07 PM

Ancalagon the Black was the mightiest of the dragons and was slayed by Eärendil in the War of Wrath.
