Lorgan and Brodda.

Gil-Galad · 08-24-2005, 08:48 PM

but of course, your turn

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-24-2005, 09:00 PM

How many times did the army of the Eldar come within sight of the gates of Angband?

LadyLúthien · 08-25-2005, 02:50 PM

I'll take a guess and say one.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-25-2005, 06:54 PM

It's more than one.

Alcarillo · 08-25-2005, 06:59 PM

Four times, perhaps? (including the War of Wrath)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-25-2005, 08:08 PM

Please enumerate them.

(Thread owner's prerogative.

)

Alcarillo · 08-25-2005, 08:49 PM

And whoops! I was counting times they came into sight of Thangorodrim.

They came within sight of the gates of Angband in the Dagor Aglareb, the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and the War of Wrath. The Dagor Aglareb actually says within sight of the gates of Angband, in the Nirnaeth elves got to Angaband's steps, so I assume it was within sight of the gates, and in the War of Wrath I'm also assuming some Vanyar and Noldor got within sight. Angband was destroyed in that battle, after all.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-25-2005, 09:12 PM

You need one more, one that happened earlier.

They were close to the gate then, surely they must see it.

Eonwe · 08-31-2005, 07:56 PM

ehem

fingolfins host, when they cross the grinding ice? i believe it says they beat on teh doors, but noone comes out.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-31-2005, 09:07 PM

Your turn, and welcome to the Downs.

Eonwe · 09-03-2005, 02:17 PM

Sorry for the delay; couldn't lay hands on a copy of the silmarillion.

Who was the first to openly mention the Kinslaying in Middle-earth?

Gil-Galad · 09-03-2005, 02:18 PM

mandos was it not

Eonwe · 09-03-2005, 02:36 PM

um i was thinking elf, sorry.

mormegil · 09-03-2005, 02:38 PM

That would be Galadriel to Melian

Eonwe · 09-03-2005, 04:17 PM

Galadriel it was not.

Gil-Galad · 09-03-2005, 11:42 PM

Maedhros?

Eonwe · 09-04-2005, 05:46 AM

Neither was it Maedhros. This is the first elf to openly speak of the kinslaying.

LadyLúthien · 09-04-2005, 11:23 AM

Was is Fëanor?

The Perky Ent · 09-04-2005, 12:18 PM

Fingolfin?

Gil-Galad · 09-04-2005, 02:33 PM

Aegnor or Angrod?

Eonwe · 09-05-2005, 11:07 AM

man, i hope im reading the part right. it wasn't any of these.

The Perky Ent · 09-05-2005, 11:08 AM

Finarfin?

Gil-Galad · 09-05-2005, 03:53 PM

Finrod?

Eonwe · 09-05-2005, 06:34 PM

it says that wispered tales went abrode about the kinslaying, but Thingol is the first to actually mention it; and since he is speaking to finrod, i'll give it you you gil-galad. carry on

Gil-Galad · 09-05-2005, 06:56 PM

alrighty then

who was tied to a tree and killed by orcs after being taken captive?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-05-2005, 08:48 PM

Finduilas.

Gil-Galad · 09-05-2005, 08:57 PM

i let Lily Bombadil choose that one, but yeah your correct as usual

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-05-2005, 09:13 PM

So, who killed a son of Mîm?

The Perky Ent · 09-05-2005, 10:34 PM

I believe one of Turin's outlaws shot him with an arrow when he ran away. Khîm i believe it was.

EDIT ~*~*~*~*~*~

Andróg

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-05-2005, 11:00 PM

Your turn!

The Perky Ent · 09-05-2005, 11:10 PM

Glad i got that in before you checked

What is the name the elves called an ent?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-05-2005, 11:21 PM

Enyd?

The Perky Ent · 09-05-2005, 11:33 PM

Nope

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-06-2005, 03:21 AM

Shepherd of the Trees?

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2005, 07:16 AM

Snope

Dimturiel · 09-06-2005, 12:22 PM

Onodrim?

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2005, 04:11 PM

Nope

Telchar · 09-07-2005, 04:54 AM

Onod = An ent

(Enyd is plural, that is "ents". Onodrim is the name for the race ents... For comparison, A man, Men and Mankind)

The Perky Ent · 09-07-2005, 06:05 AM

exactly! Your go Telchar!
