Nope, I'm asking for the rivers on either side of Taur-en-Faroth, not Taur-im-Duinath.

I wasn't looking at my map good enough. I only saw one forest between two rivers. My bad.

Taur-en-Faroth is above Nargothrond, so that would make the rivers be the Narog and the Ginglith.

I had the hardest time finding that Lindo!

Okay - hope this is right - Taur en Faroth is South of the Hills of Nargothrond. The River Narog is beside it and I guess you could say that the River Ringil would be the other, as it is North of it - unless you are classifing the River Nenning as the other river.

Name 5 places where the Hobbits (together or separate) met someone unexpectedly. Give also the name of who they met.

The ones that you two named which I was thinking about were:

Bombadil in the Old Forest
Strider in Bree
Faramir in Ithilien
Treebeard in Fangorn

The others are correct, but not the ones I'm thinking of:

Gollum... they sort of knew he was following them.

Balrog... registers the surprise of all but the Hobbits. It wasn't their confrontation, but I'm sure they were surprised!

Glorfindel... registers only Aragorn's surprise in the book. He could've counted, too, but I didn't think of him.

Gildor... didn't think of him! Silly me!

See if you can guess the last one! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Was it Moria? I found the river Glanduin, but I just can't seem to find the Gate Stream. And the only city I see around the first river was Moria.

It's an ancient city. Not Moria, but its ruins are still there.
