8/ They are related - Maeglin, the betrayer of Gondolin, was the son of Eol, the forger of Anglachel/Gurthang.

gilraën · 05-06-2003, 01:11 PM

Asolutely correct [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren 3
Beruthiel 2
elven maiden Earwen 1
Saucepan Man 1

I'll be back shortly with the last 2 questions.

gilraën · 05-06-2003, 05:27 PM

9/ Who was Legolas' Grandfather, how/where did he die?

10/ Who were the two named Rangers of Ithlien with Faramir?

Two easy questions to finish off this round. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-06-2003, 05:36 PM

9/ Oropher. He was slain in the Battle of Dagorlad, while leading a joint force of Elves from Greenwood and Lorien.

10/ Mablung and Damrod.

Edit: In case you need more, "Oropher was slain in the first assault upon Mordor, rushing forward at the head of his most doughty warriors before Gil-Galad had given the signal for the advance" (impetuous fool [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ).

Looks like Beren and Saucepan have tied. got a tie breaker there Gilraën?

gilraën · 05-12-2003, 05:03 PM

Okay then, I thought this had been forgotten [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren 3
Beruthiel 2
elven maiden Earwen 1
Saucepan Man 3

Tie-breaker

Where does the word Palathrin refer to?

Gil-Galad · 05-13-2003, 06:30 AM

can i still anwser?

Aqualnde, the elves taht made the Palantari for the Numernoreans?

gilraën · 05-13-2003, 02:27 PM

Gil-Galad I'm sorry but this is a tie-breaker for Beren and Saucepan Man, as one of them has already won.

BTW that's not the right answer. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-13-2003, 06:39 PM

No idea, but I'll take a guess at Tirion on Tuna.

Beren87 · 05-13-2003, 09:03 PM

Strangly, I have no idea either.

Does it have to do with some marsh?

gilraën · 05-17-2003, 09:24 AM

No it is an obscure reference to where Isildur lost his life.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-17-2003, 09:07 PM

Is it the Gladden Fields, then?

gilraën · 05-18-2003, 04:02 AM

Yes Saucepan Man, your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-18-2003, 07:15 PM

Oh good. I've not had a go at this one yet. Now, for a question ...

1) What was the name originally given to Finrod?

Eruanna · 05-18-2003, 07:31 PM

Finrod the Faithful?
Or do you mean a name other than Finrod? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-18-2003, 08:12 PM

Quote:

Or do you mean a name other than Finrod?

Yes. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-18-2003, 08:40 PM

Wasn't it Inglor or Ingold?

Beren87 · 05-19-2003, 06:21 PM

Findarato! (Quenya, don'tchaknow)

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-19-2003, 06:46 PM

The original name for Finrod was Inglor Felagund, so Sophia is correct.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 1

2) What was believed to be in Mim's sack?

Beren87 · 05-19-2003, 07:08 PM

Quote:

The original name for Finrod was Inglor Felagund, so Sophia is correct

No it's not, Felagund was a name given to him by the Dwarves, meaning cave-hewer, because he excavated Nargothrond.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-19-2003, 07:20 PM

I meant the original name given to the character by Tolkien. In footnote 20 to the History of Galadriel and Celeborn in the UT Christopher Tolkien states:

Quote:

Before the revised edition of Lord of the Rings was published in 1966 my father changed Finrod to Finarfin, while his son Felagund, previously called Inglor Felagund, became Finrod Felagund.

Beren87 · 05-19-2003, 07:41 PM

Quote:

Ahh...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-19-2003, 08:00 PM

Roots and small stones?

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-19-2003, 08:13 PM

Quote:

Roots and small stones?

I need more. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I have in mind the mysterious contents that remained after Mim had shared with the outlaws the roots referred to as earth-bread.

[ May 19, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-19-2003, 08:33 PM

From the footnotes of Narn i Hin Hurin:

Quote:

The mystery of the other things in Mim's sack is not explained. The only other statement on the subject is a hastily scribbled note, which suggests that they were ingots of gold disguised as roots, and refers to Mim seeking "for old treasures of a dwarf-house near the 'flat stones'"

Possibly Gold, then, but in the long run it's uncertain.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-20-2003, 06:32 PM

Quote:

ingots of gold disguised as roots

That's what I was looking for.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 2

3) What was the Sindarin name for the lands between the rivers Poros and Harnen?

[ May 20, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-21-2003, 12:04 AM

Harondor

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-21-2003, 11:04 AM

Harondor it was. This is rapidly turning into a runaway victory for Sophia. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Any other challengers out there?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 3

4) What was the name of Saeros' father?

Annunfuiniel · 05-21-2003, 11:25 AM

Ithilbor(sp?). Sorry it took a while, I had to look that up from my UT. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 05-21-2003, 11:26 AM

I believe his father was Ithilbor.

Whoops, not quick enough. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ May 21, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-21-2003, 01:32 PM

Ithilbor it is. Annun got there first, so:

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 3
Annunfuiniel: 1

5) What was the name given to Galadriel by her mother, Earwen?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-21-2003, 03:23 PM

Nerwen [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-22-2003, 06:40 AM

You are, of course, correct, Earwen. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 3
Annunfuiniel: 1
elven maiden Earwen : 1

6) Who died in an unfortunate incident involving a tipping wheelchair and a flight of garden steps?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-23-2003, 12:50 PM

Lalia Clayhanger Took (known as the Fat) wife of Thain Fortinbras II.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-24-2003, 07:50 PM

And Sophia races further into the lead. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 4
Annunfuiniel: 1
elven maiden Earwen : 1

7) Who or what was the "Throng-cleaver"?

gilraën · 05-26-2003, 02:06 PM

Hadhafang - Arwen's sword, in the movies, a name devised for a sword by Tolkien, but never used in his stories.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-27-2003, 11:43 AM

No, that's not the answer that I'm thinking of ...

gilraën · 05-27-2003, 11:56 AM

Sangahyando, a corsair of Umbar, and great grandson of Castamir?

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-28-2003, 06:53 AM

That's the fellow. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 4
Annunfuiniel: 1
elven maiden Earwen: 1
gilraën: 1

8) Which two characters in Lord of the Rings were born in the same year?

gilraën · 05-28-2003, 11:29 AM

Samwise Gamgee and Faramir, son of Denethor and brother of Boromir.
