Thanks.
 
Who were Mîm's sons?

symestreem 03-27-2004 01:14 PM

Khim and Ibun?

Firefoot 03-27-2004 03:48 PM

Yes.

symestreem 03-28-2004 02:45 PM

Describe the song that Tuor made.

luthien-elvenprincess 03-29-2004 07:19 AM

quote from the Silmarillion:
Quote:

There Tuor made a song for Earendil his son, concerning the coming of Ulmo the Lord of Waters to the shores of Nevrast aforetime; and the sea-longing woke in his heart, and in his son's also.

symestreem 03-29-2004 07:40 AM

Yes!!

luthien-elvenprincess 04-01-2004 04:02 PM

WHat caused Luthien to swoon before Sauron?

Lindolirian 04-01-2004 04:45 PM

The black magic in his breath or the smell of it!
Quote:

The deadly vapor of its breath/ swept on before it. Swooning dies/ the song of Luthien and her eyes/ are dimmed and darkened with a fear/ cold and poinsonous and drear. (Lay of Leithan, 2735-2739)

luthien-elvenprincess 04-03-2004 08:57 PM

Very close, Lindolirian. Actually, The Silmarillion mentions two things different things that caused her to swoon. You got one of them. :p

luthien-elvenprincess 04-06-2004 04:51 PM

Come on...this is easy...just simple reading in the Sil...no thinking needed!

Lindolirian 04-06-2004 05:29 PM

Well, not having my Sil on hand, I shall trust to my (not so) trusty memory. I think it was something to the effect of the Horror of his oncoming and his evil prescence... :eek:

The Perky Ent 04-08-2004 03:30 PM

Wild shot, but because she drew the venom from Beren with her lips, she swooned because he swooned when he was poisoned?!?

luthien-elvenprincess 04-08-2004 06:44 PM

No not there yet, Lindolirian. Way off, Perk. ;)

Lindolirian 04-09-2004 06:19 PM

She swooned before the menace of the fell spirit in his eyes and the foul vapor of his breath.
Now how is that not the same as this?

"The black magic in his breath or the smell of it!"
and
"the Horror of his oncoming and his evil prescence... "

luthien-elvenprincess 04-10-2004 03:51 PM

LOL, if you can't see the difference between "the menace of the fell spirit in his eyes" and " the horror of his oncoming and his evil presence"--then I can't help you. But, your second answer is the one for which I was looking!
It is now your turn, please proceed. :)

Lindolirian 04-14-2004 07:55 AM

Ah well, it was close... :rolleyes:
Who "stole" his own father's hand?

NightKnight 04-14-2004 09:41 AM

Beren did.

Lindolirian 04-14-2004 02:43 PM

Kinda nasty, ain't it?

NightKnight 04-15-2004 10:49 AM

Very. But on the other hand, he was already dead. :p

Name three people who died in Dagor Bragollach.

Lindolirian 04-15-2004 02:31 PM

Angrod, Aegnor, and Hador

NightKnight 04-15-2004 03:25 PM

Sure!

Lindolirian 04-16-2004 09:09 PM

Ah, one of my favorites of the First Age :D ... What exactly was the Mereth Aderthad and who all was there?

NightKnight 04-17-2004 03:57 AM

It was a feast held by Fingolfin, and I think most noldor were there, but only Maedhros and Maglor of Fëanor's sons, plus a bunch of sindar.

Lindolirian 04-17-2004 12:59 PM

Yeah, I was there too, but ole JRR left me out of the story cause all I did was cook the food... ;)

NightKnight 04-18-2004 04:04 AM

What city was connected to the river Nenning?

Lindolirian 04-18-2004 12:11 PM

The Haven of Eglarest.

NightKnight 04-18-2004 12:15 PM

Yup.

Lindolirian 04-19-2004 02:49 PM

Who told Maeglin that Elenwë died in the Helcaraxë?

NightKnight 04-19-2004 02:51 PM

Must have been Aredhel.

Lindolirian 04-19-2004 02:55 PM

Yeah, who else? Doesn't seem like anyone else talk to that guy, 'cept Morgoth of course...

NightKnight 04-19-2004 02:58 PM

Yeah, tough luck. And when he tried to talk to Idril Tuor came and threw him off a cliff. :p

Anyway, which of Fëanor's sons died in the attack on the elves at the Mouth of Sirion?

Lindolirian 04-19-2004 03:04 PM

Yeah drat that Tuor, he only wanted to chat a bitsy. Anyway...
Amrod and Amras, the twinses.

NightKnight 04-19-2004 03:06 PM

It was them. I actually used Amrod as the name of the main character in a story I wrote. :p

Lindolirian 04-19-2004 03:09 PM

Eh, good name. What's the Adunaic name for the boat from which a guy smashed some mountains with a big lizard?

NightKnight 04-19-2004 03:13 PM

Rothinzil. Big lizard, eh?

Lindolirian 04-19-2004 03:19 PM

Well yeah big lizard, dragon, its close. And sounds pretty funny too. But you are correct, of course.

NightKnight 04-19-2004 03:22 PM

Yeah, I guess dragons are just big lizards with wings and fire.

Well well... Who was the father of he that "started" Tears Unnumbered?

Lindolirian 04-19-2004 03:25 PM

Guilin father of Gelmir. Gelmir was tortured in front of his brother Gwindor, who launched the first offensive of that battle.

NightKnight 04-19-2004 03:26 PM

Yup. Poor Gwindor. I think I would have reacted in the same way if my brother was tortured and killed in front of me.

Lindolirian 04-19-2004 03:47 PM

What did Huan bring to Luthien after he chased off Celegorm and Curufin?
