are you thinking of Laurelindórenan a name used by tree-beard (he is old) and Faramir. . .

It means: Land of the Valley of Singing Gold ( I had to look that up :o)

Gothmog 12-21-2005 10:14 AM

Correct as always :)

Your turn!

Rune Son of Bjarne 12-21-2005 05:47 PM

:cool:

Thanks.


Ok give me the sindarin name for orc and it's actual meaning.

Telchar 12-22-2005 03:46 AM

The Sindarin name for orc is orch, plural yrch. Boths meaning simply orc and orcs. But I guess you're looking for an older word only used in SILM: Glamhoth which means "noise-horde" or "noise-host" - The word is reflected in the name of Gandalfs sword: Glamdring: "Foe-hammer" / "Noise-horde-hammer" ... hope that is accurate enough for you ;)

Rune Son of Bjarne 12-22-2005 05:34 AM

Of course it is my good Telchar, please continue the thread.

Telchar 12-22-2005 05:57 AM

If Andwise had been a Silvan elf, what material would he have used for his craft?

Rune Son of Bjarne 12-22-2005 06:20 AM

hithlain

The difficult part was who Andwise was (at least for me)

Telchar 12-22-2005 06:36 AM

You are correct :) Glædelig jul.... <--- Danish for Merry Christmas

Rune Son of Bjarne 12-22-2005 06:50 PM

tak og må du få en glædelig jul og et godt nytår (merry christmas and a happy new year to you)

Wich elven kings possesd the Nauglamir ?

Gothmog 12-22-2005 07:50 PM

Elu Thingol?

Och ha en God jul och ett Gott Nytt År (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year)

Rune Son of Bjarne 12-22-2005 08:15 PM

he is sertenly one of them, but the question was: wich kings ;)

Gothmog 12-22-2005 08:31 PM

Oh, sorry... I'd say Finrod Felagund and Elu Thingol.. It must be someone else too, but at least I've helped someone with the correct answer :) That's the only kings I can think of right now...

Telchar 12-23-2005 05:38 AM

Besides the obvious Finrod Felagund, and later Thingol, the list has to contain Dior Thingols Heir - and probably also Orodreth who ruled Nargothrond, though he is reffered to as "lord of Nargothrond" and not king ...

This is actually an interesting question... because it (to me) raises other questions...

What happend to the Nauglamir? Was the Silmaril ever seperated from the Nauglamír? Could we count Eärendil to the list above? He was lord of the people that survived the fall of Gondolin and the Sack of Doriath, and he chose to be counted among the elves... But I can find no reference to the Nauglamir at the Mouth of Sirion or being with Eärendil later - It is said that he bore the Silmaril on his brow - The Nauglamír is not a thing one would wear on ones brow is it? So maybe the Nauglamír never left Doriath - only the Silmaril?

These were my thoughts :)

Rune Son of Bjarne 12-23-2005 05:56 AM

I can do nothing, but hand the thread over to you.

With out turning this into a discution I would like to say: I think the Nauglamir left ME with the silmaril, We know that the silmaril was meant to bee worn around the neck(when it was a part of the Nauglamir), but the first time ever we hear of it beeing used otherwise (the silmaril) is when Earendil where it on his brows. Sureley if they had been seperatet and worn as to different pieces Tolkien would have written about it and It would not have been such a big deal that Earendil choses to wear it like that.

Gothmog 12-23-2005 08:00 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot Dior but I left Orodreth out on purpose. I didn't consider him a king, even if he was a ruler for some time. He was like the Stewards of Gondor... Sorry for this off-topic post, please proceed like nothing ever happened :)

NightKnight 12-25-2005 05:52 PM

Adding to the off topic discussion, I somehow recall reading Elwing having the necklace. Though i might be way off though. ;)

Telchar 12-27-2005 04:59 AM

Which elf feared to be stricken in the darkness?

NightKnight 12-28-2005 04:58 PM

Was it Finrod?

Telchar 12-29-2005 01:37 AM

Nope...

Tuor in Gondolin 12-29-2005 09:19 AM

Was it Maedhros?

Telchar 12-29-2005 06:24 PM

No - No... are you guys just guessing at random??? lol

Valier 01-09-2006 10:18 PM

Is it Eol?

Telchar 01-10-2006 03:46 PM

Nope + Eol doesn't seem to be the type that fears anything, having too much pride for that... The Elf we're looking for is a more, ... shall we say fearfull caracter, though that might be going a bit too far.

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-10-2006 03:54 PM

Random guess: Gwindor ?

Telchar 01-10-2006 04:17 PM

nope - but nice guess...

Telchar 01-21-2006 03:18 AM

Hint: I fear some stroke in the dark

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-21-2006 07:14 AM

why don't you just shout Voronwë ?

Telchar 01-22-2006 04:35 AM

I had to do something, right?

You're up :)

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-22-2006 07:40 AM

of cours you did.

Name the elf who wantet the aid of Tom Bombadil.

Telchar 01-22-2006 07:44 AM

Probably Galdor ?

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-22-2006 07:50 AM

nope, but good guess.

Telchar 01-22-2006 07:54 AM

;) Second quess is Erestor?

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-22-2006 07:56 AM

and the second one is correct. (is it just me or is the royal baptism blown way out of proportion?)

Telchar 01-22-2006 10:14 AM

No, It's not / nut just you, but some / alot of people seem to suck it in ;)


Q: The Elves woke up to the sound of running water - from which mountains did the streams and rivers near Cuiviénen come?

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-22-2006 10:32 AM

was it the Red Mountains ?

Telchar 01-22-2006 03:41 PM

The Orocarni - yes

Beleg 01-30-2006 09:20 AM

Can I? I was waiting for somebody to do so, i quite like this thread, but it's quiet since few days... And anyway, I always arrive too late to answer.

Bah..

Q: Who is Aikanaro?

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-30-2006 11:07 AM

Well Beleg we do have a 10 day rule. . . Next time you cannot wait for me (or anybody els) to reply please make a *Bump*

But since I cannot think of anything better to ask I will let your question stand.

Thinlómien 01-30-2006 11:09 AM

Aikanaro is Aegnor, one of the sons of Finarfin.
