elven maiden Earwen · 04-11-2003, 10:16 PM

What is Soronúmë, who made it, with what, and what does it mean?

tulkas · 04-11-2003, 10:41 PM

Soronume is a constellation made by Varda with the silver dews from the vats of Telperion. It means, 'Eagle of the West'

tulkas · 04-12-2003, 12:15 AM

if i don't get a new question in by tomorrow then someone else can do it

tulkas · 04-12-2003, 12:30 AM

haven't been told i'm right yet, so i can't post one yet, but the above post applies

elven maiden Earwen · 04-12-2003, 06:32 PM

correct you are.

tulkas · 04-12-2003, 10:22 PM

What is Karningul and what does it mean?

alaklondewen · 04-13-2003, 07:25 AM

It means 'Deep-cloven-valley' or Rivendell. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

tulkas · 04-13-2003, 09:44 PM

perfect alaklondewen

alaklondewen · 04-14-2003, 08:04 PM

Thank you, it's not often one reaches perfection. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Okay, give me literal meaning/language/another name.

Kûd-dûkan

Beren87 · 04-14-2003, 08:12 PM

Hobbits, my dear Alak.

alaklondewen · 04-14-2003, 08:14 PM

Yes, dear, but you are forgetting the first two questions: Literal meaning and language. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 04-14-2003, 08:35 PM

Ah, I took the slashes to mean "either-or"

Hole-Dweller/Rohirric/Hobbits

alaklondewen · 04-14-2003, 09:06 PM

You are absolutely correct! Please proceed.

Beren87 · 04-15-2003, 03:32 PM

What was the name of the event where the Mayor of the Shire was elected?

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-15-2003, 04:34 PM

The Free Fair, which was held every seven years on the White Downs.

elven maiden Earwen · 06-24-2003, 05:52 PM

Mr. Saucepan Man would you like to continue?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-24-2003, 06:17 PM

Why not. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What was the name for the Hither Shores, and where were they?

Beren87 · 06-24-2003, 06:35 PM

The Hither Shores is another name for Middle-Earth.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-24-2003, 07:29 PM

I'm looking for something a bit more specific.

Beren87 · 06-24-2003, 07:34 PM

Well, they're Eldarin names.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-25-2003, 07:53 PM

The "Hither Shores" is used to refer to a more specific area of Middle Earth ...

elven maiden Earwen · 06-25-2003, 08:14 PM

Neverast?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-25-2003, 08:16 PM

Nevrast is the name that I am looking for, but where were they?

Beren87 · 06-25-2003, 08:19 PM

As in the song of Earendil, the "Hither Shores" is referring to all of ME. Maybe specifically that where mortals are, but that could be said to be anywhere. It's used once in the tale of Numenor, but with more bearing placed on the actualy meaning of the word "hither" than anything else.

Ah, I bet you do mean specifically where mortals were don't you?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-26-2003, 06:41 AM

Nevrast means Hither Shores. So I am looking for the location of Nevrast for the final part of the answer.

elven maiden Earwen · 06-26-2003, 11:36 AM

northwestern coast of Beleriand?

Beren87 · 06-26-2003, 02:52 PM

Wait wait, Nevrast is the "hither shore". That means something totally different from the "Hither Shores". The Hither shores is a term referring to all of ME, but specifically where men inhabit.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-26-2003, 06:59 PM

Hmm, having checked the index to my copy of the Silmarillion, I see that you are right, Beren. Just goes to show that you can't always rely on the ol' Complete Tolkien Companion. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] First time it's let me down, though. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

But, Earwen gave both answers that I was looking for, so it's your turn next, O elf maid. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 06-26-2003, 07:01 PM

Quick and easy.

Give me four names for Aragorn?

Beren87 · 06-26-2003, 07:13 PM

Ellesar and Elfstone (by Galadriel and people of Gondor)

Strider (in Bree)

Longshanks (by Sam)

Wingfoot (by Eomer)

elven maiden Earwen · 06-26-2003, 10:35 PM

correct [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-27-2003, 03:38 PM

What was the "red-hill-land"?

Telchar · 06-28-2003, 06:46 PM

Just as a side note: Sam didn't name Aragorn 'Longshanks'... Bill Ferny did

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-03-2003, 12:32 PM

Ooh, Beren's getting his movies and his books mixed up! (happens to the best of us, I should know [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img])

Anyway, red-hill-land... I will venture a guess:

caran- red
dol- hill

Cardolan- red-hill-land?

Sophia

Egad! *throws his DVD out the window*

You're correct Sophia, it is Cardolan. Nice guess.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-07-2003, 07:22 AM

Who was "Elf-Foam"?

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-08-2003, 02:53 AM

Elwing.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-10-2003, 09:51 AM

Nope... she was "Star-Spray" I believe.

Stops. Feels stupid. Alters question. "Elf-rain"... who was "Elf-Rain"?

Apologizes.
