Pipe HoME is where the heart is....

The heart of Middle-Earth, that is. This is a quiz game devoted to asking questions about the History of Middle-Earth series and is doubly tricksy because some stuff made it into LotR and the Silmarillion and some didn't- it's up to you to figure out the right answer.

(Note to mods- I searched for a quiz game on HoME and couldn't find one; please feel free to shut this down if it's a duplicate.)

Anyway, which infamous character did Earendil slay in earlier versions of the Silmarillion that did not find it's way into the published Sil.?

Good work, I was actually planning on starting a thread like this, but I hadn't decided whether to do it on HoME or just BoLT.

And the answer to your question is Ungoliant.

Yup, though they were a bit less than 800 when they left the city.

Hmm......I think this is in the Lost Road which I haven't read for a while so there are two possibilities in my mind. However, I'll go for Elendil?

Haven't read further than half of Shaping of ME, but I read it somewhere on the forum. Anyway...

Who were the original founders of Nargothrond?

Nope. They may have built the caves, but I'm talking about the city/realm.

Unless it's the Rodothlim (whom I thought were the same as Felgund and his following of Noldor) perhaps you could give a hint, like what book it's in?

I think it's in the Lays of Beleriand.

The rodothlim were the percursors of Nargothrond, but I'm talking about Nargothrond itself.

Now, along with Glorfindel and Ecthelion, who was the third lord of Gondolin who accompanied Isfin when she left the Hidden City?
