Your go alak.

Thanks Beren, I seemingly misplaced this thread. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Who was the first to use symbols or signs to record song and speech?

Was it Rumil the Loremaster perhaps?

Another night without sleep, Sophia? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

You are correct, please carry on.

Who quotes Rumil saying that the Valarin tongue sounds ?

I'm tired and I am not in the mood for research, so I will guess at Pengolodh.

Your guess is apparenly as good as research, Pengolodh it was. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Who searched for Elrond's uncles in the woods?

Maedhros searched for Eluréd and Elurín from the woods of Doriath - with no success. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I know... that was so sad. Anyway, your go.

This thread is open for anyone who has a question to ask - I have no time for quizing at the moment.

I will ask a question if no one minds.

Who was Elemmakil?

Captain of the guard of the first gate in Gondolin and a friend of Voronwe.

Splendid! Your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who wrote the Lament of the Two Trees?

The Aldudénië was composed by a Vanyarin Elf named Elemmirë.

Correct. (That was fast)

Name three kinds of tree that grew in Númenor.

There were oiolairë, lairelossë, nessamelda, vardarianna, taniquelassë, yavannamirë, or malinornë. Of course there were also simple fir, beech, birch, and oak trees. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I guess one can never have too many trees. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your go.

Thank you, Eruanna.

Explain the 'Ban of the Valar'.

Mortals were not allowed to enter the Undying Lands so the Valar banned Númenóreans from sailing so far west that they could not see their coast anymore.

Lasgalen, welcome to the Downs...you are correct! Please carry on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who forged Turin's black sword?

Originally made by Eol, it was reforged for Turin by the smiths of Nargothrond.

Correct you are.

Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

By what name did Brodda of the Easterlings call the people of Hador, whom he had made his slaves?

Strawheads?

That's right. Please carry on gilraen [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your turn my dear gilraen.

*bump*

Your turn my dear gilraën.

I apologise for ignoring this topic, but as I'm off to France for 3 weeks in the morning and unlikely to get online within that time I forfeit my go [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

See you all soon [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Since I have a question, I'll ask it [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img].

Feanor's second son was considered second best at what and to whom?

Second best at singing/music and he was considered second best to Daeron, the Minstrel of Doriath.

Perfection, Finwe.

Ah, excellent! Wonderful! It is comforting to know that I know my son's family.

He became second-best after a one who lost something later came in. He took the coward's path, yet became famed throughout history for what he was best at.

Maglor? Celebrimbor?

Nope.

All right, since no one seems to be getting this, I'll give you a hint.

HINT: He was one of the two most famous wanderers. (*coughcoughnottheistaricoughcough*)
