Much as it may surprise you, Gil, I do not lurk on-line every hour of the day. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Actually, the other thread is for questions on the people of Numenor, whereas this looks to be a trivia game about Numenor generally. Although this one will inevitably involve questions about the people of Numenor, there is nevertheless a difference. Since it is not a duplicate, therefore, I will leave this thread open.

So, nobody's question stands (if you take my meaning [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Yes. You can ask questions about Númenórean women here and questions about Númenórë itself here, like its geography, the places in it and other names for it etc.

During what year did Sauron move and erect a stronghold in the land now known as Mordor to counteract the Númenórean landings at Harad?

Ok, I'm back

Now for a question . . . . . . .

What was the name of the Númenorean king who first sent aid to Gil-Galad and what was his number in secession (i.e. 1st king, 2nd king)

I think that this thread can afford to be a little flexible, so let's go ahead with this question.

Please try to keep the questions more directly related to Númenor in the future, though.

Hope you feel better soon...

And, his king-name was Tar-Minyatur. Or maybe you're looking for Elerossë, his name in Quenya?
