Oh well I am too ignorant to have noticed that lol... oiooh harder to think up questions almost... Ok lets try:

Who was "sitting on his horse with his knights about him; and the falling Sun shone upon them and made all their harness to gleam like red gold", what was the occasion and what significant event had happened there previously?

Imrahil maybe?

No, but not a million miles away. :p .... I liked Imrahil, I guess it was inevitable that they would omit him from the films but I am still sorry.... :rolleyes:

Faramir? Forlong?

Nooooo ...but Faramir is as close as Imrahil ;) ....and Forlong is way off the mark ....maybe thinking of the occcasion would help ....

Theoden? When he and his company were about to ride to the Pellennor Fields?

Nooooo not Theoden......... but reasonably close in time and space.....

Eomer?

Eomer is as close as Faramir and Imrahil (literally!).... Oh everyone here seemed to know the books so well - maybe I tried too hard not to be obvious........

Aragorn when he said farewell to his friends at...I believe it was the Gap of Rohan?

Yes to parting with Aragorn (and Eomer, Faramir and Imrahil were left at Edoras!!!!!) ..but not quite the Gap but i am not going to be that picky after so long- the event was Pippin looking in the palantir........ over to you Redjewelled one!

Ok, which king of the Mark could have been said to have been "boared to death" (spelling intentional)?

Folca, who was killed by the Boar of Everholt. :p

Yep. Seeing that entry in the list of the kings in Appendix A really tickled me :D

Who, except Eorl, was buried in Eorl's mound?

That would be Felarof the killer horse.

Killer horse, eh? Makes me think of the killer rabbit in Monty Python. :D

Your turn, of course. :)

"i'd soil my armour if i was so scared!"

" whats it gonna do? nibble your bum? "


heh great stuff....

Who was Bergil's uncle?

Iorlas .... quite as old as Peregrin Took.... :D

Oh they all say it's only a rabbit.....

Right, Mithalwen.

Thank you but now ..the hard bit..... for me not you perhaps......

His son attempted a path which his namesake in the film refused.....

I'm slow, so I don't get it, but...Arathorn?

Brego. His son Baldor tried to go through the Paths of the Dead, which Aragorn's horse (also named Brego) didn't dare.

Yes..that's it Brego... was worried it didn't make sense.....:D Actually I thought that the book paths of the dead was much creepier but nvm... Over to you..

Yeah, I think so too.

What colors were the banner of Rohan?

White and green?

Yep.

*a very weak bump*

Oops, sorry...

Who was Theoden's bane?

(Sorry it's so easy, but I don't have access to my books this weekend.)

his horse i believe ...it was shocked from the fell beast

Gil-Galad is probably right, but, the Witch King? gotta go for the obvious ;)

it actually said in teh book that Snowmane (theodens horse) was the bane of his death...

But I must try :D

Sorry, Perky, I'm accepting Gil-Galad's answer because he was first and that was the answer I was thinking of.

OOOOOHHOOOO <devilish laugh>


so now you have taken my old avatar? very clever, but you must pay...NO VISA!



anyway...

another easy one, name the holder of keys

If your talking about the Keys of Orthanc, Saruman.

close but no

If, as my sig says, the Keys to Barad-dur, Sauron?

Hurin of the Keys?
