9. What is a flittermouse and where was one mentioned?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-16-2004, 11:27 PM

A bat! It was mentioned in the Lay of Leithian, when Lúthien took form as one of Thû's messengers while headed for Angband.

Lindolirian · 07-17-2004, 03:33 PM

Yeah, isn't that an awesome name for a bat? Anyway, last question, that is if Firefoot doesn't get it for the tie...

10. Who wrote the Noldolantë?

Firefoot · 07-17-2004, 03:36 PM

Maglor.

NightKnight · 07-17-2004, 04:00 PM

Bat in Swedish is "fladdermus" (mus=mouse).

Lindolirian · 07-18-2004, 04:15 PM

Two points for NK

Nice timing Firefoot...

Ok for the tie breaker between Nilpaurion Felagund and Firefoot, I felt that I had to come up with a real whiz-banger.

11. What city (also the title of the poem) is described as being on a sable hill, by an azure sea, under an azure sky, and where no voice stirs?

*Remember this is for Firefoot and Nilpaurion Felgund only, as a tie breaker.*

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-18-2004, 08:42 PM

Kortirion? As in Kortirion among the Trees?

Lindolirian · 07-18-2004, 09:52 PM

Technically Kôr, but it's the same city, so yes. It's your game!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-18-2004, 09:54 PM

And our topic is...rivers.

1. What is the longest river in Beleriand?

Lindolirian · 07-18-2004, 10:07 PM

3. In which river/stream was the last battle of the Nirnaeth fought?

Lindolirian · 07-19-2004, 10:18 PM

It was in the Fens of Serech and that looks to be at the junction of Rivil (stream) and Sirion (river).

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-21-2004, 12:37 AM

Quote:

But the brothers drew the remnant of the Men of the house of Hador about them, and foot by foot they withdrew, until they came behind the Fen of Serech, and had the stream of Rivil before them. There they stood and gave way no more.

(QS 20)

Rivil alone would have been accepable.

4. The longest river in the Mortal Lands?

Thorongil · 07-21-2004, 01:32 AM

Sirion?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-21-2004, 01:50 AM

Gelion is longer than Sirion, but the answer ain't Gelion, either.

Thorongil · 07-21-2004, 02:09 AM

Anduin?

Evisse the Blue · 07-21-2004, 04:06 AM

Anduin had Cair Andros, Sarn Gebir, Tol Brandir.
Adurant- Tol Galen
Sirion - Tol Sirion.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-21-2004, 07:38 PM

You gave the rivers and the names of their islands! That would be my next question!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-21-2004, 07:57 PM

There are two rivers flowing into Rhûn Sea. The other one might be unnamed in the regular map, but it is named somewhere else.

The Perky Ent · 07-21-2004, 08:01 PM

That's quite a lead.

The thread is thine.

The Perky Ent · 07-21-2004, 09:02 PM
