What is the perimeter of Pelennor Fields. Distance and name

alaklondewen 03-01-2004 05:14 PM

The outer-wall that surrounded the Pelennor fields was called the Rammas Echor. I hope this is what you're looking for:

For ten leagues or more it ran from the mountains' feet and so back again, enclosing in its fence the fields of the Pelennor:

luthien-elvenprincess 03-02-2004 05:46 AM

Correct...Rammas Echor and more than 10 leagues long.
Congrats..your turn.;)

alaklondewen 03-02-2004 07:05 PM

Thank you, luthien-elvenprincess. :)

Now, which river flows into the Isen at Enedwaith?

NightKnight 03-03-2004 01:16 AM

Adorn?

alaklondewen 03-03-2004 01:31 PM

That's the one, KnightNight. Well Done.

NightKnight 03-03-2004 02:04 PM

Thanks. :)

Name the seven rivers of Ossiriand.

symestreem 03-03-2004 02:55 PM

Ascar, Thalos, Legolin, Brilthor, Duilwen, Adurant, and Gelion.

NightKnight 03-03-2004 03:09 PM

That's right. Your turn. :)

symestreem 03-03-2004 08:10 PM

Name a non-moving body of water in Turgon's realm.

Lindolirian 03-04-2004 06:42 AM

Linaewen in Nevrast.

NightKnight 03-04-2004 02:02 PM

Eh...the great fountain that Ecthelion and Gothmog fell in?

symestreem 03-06-2004 08:10 PM

Lindolirian got it, but NightKnight gets points for creativity, although a fountain is technically moving.

NightKnight 03-07-2004 05:24 AM

Yay! Points for me! :D

Lindolirian 03-08-2004 07:53 AM

Hahaha... Good one NightKnight! :)

What two rivers is the Forest of the Hunters in between?

NightKnight 03-08-2004 10:59 AM

Sirion and Gelion?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-08-2004 02:21 PM

The River Narog and the River Nenning

Lindolirian 03-09-2004 01:36 PM

That's it, Luthien!

luthien-elvenprincess 03-09-2004 06:03 PM

OK...
If you wanted to take a baby present to Dior Eluchil, but you lived in Caranthir's Land; on which rivers would you have to paddle order to get there?

NightKnight 03-10-2004 01:31 AM

You would have to paddle down Gelion and then turn left on Adurant. :)

luthien-elvenprincess 03-10-2004 09:40 PM

Correct, Night Knight. Your go.

NightKnight 03-11-2004 01:57 PM

Damn, I'm running out of questions. :p

Name the regions of Númenor.

NightKnight 03-12-2004 07:10 AM

Correct-ness. Your turn. :)

luthien-elvenprincess 03-12-2004 07:27 AM

Where is Scary?

Lindolirian 03-12-2004 10:51 AM

Scary is in the mid-northern part of the East Farthing of the Shire. Its gives its name to the nearby Hills of Scary and is approximately 30 miles northeast of the Three Farthing Stone

luthien-elvenprincess 03-12-2004 12:19 PM

:D wow, all I really needed was 'a village in the Eastfarthing"!:p
You are very correct, Lindolirian.

Lindolirian 03-12-2004 04:33 PM

Well, sometimes you never can be too sure; some people want answers to be really specific. :rolleyes: O well!

A little geometry problem for ye...
What is the area in square feet of the Ring of Isengard?

The Perky Ent 03-12-2004 05:34 PM

Let me get my calculator!
 
Um...howabout 84,480 square feet?

Lindolirian 03-12-2004 09:56 PM

That would be it if the Ring was 328 feet from rim to rim. It is much larger.

luthien-elvenprincess 03-12-2004 10:51 PM

There would be about 21,895,626 square feet in the Ring of Isengard.

Lindolirian 03-13-2004 01:40 PM

Very nice!

luthien-elvenprincess 03-14-2004 08:19 AM

Leaving Bywater, I head to the place where Aragorn met Gandalf on May 1, 3018. Continuing onward for about 150 miles, I then turn north-east and voyage about 300 miles. Where am I?

The Perky Ent 03-14-2004 01:13 PM

Angmar?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-14-2004 08:50 PM

nope

The Perky Ent 03-14-2004 09:43 PM

Erebor?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-15-2004 05:52 PM

No, again.:)

Firefoot 03-15-2004 06:03 PM

Mount Gundabad?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-15-2004 07:52 PM

No.
Hint: you can find where Aragorn and Gandalf met on 5/1/3018 in the chapter entitled 'Strider'.:p

Lindolirian 03-15-2004 08:05 PM

Rivendell. Taking the Greenway to Sarn Ford (the place of their meeting) and onward another 150 miles to Tharbad. Then northeast on the Greyflood/Hoarwell/Bruinen to Riven 300 miles away.
