Some kind of healing herb.

Yup, I bet it was actually tobacco... :eek:

Hmm, either that or something very illegal. Maybe that was why they thought they could just walk into Angband and steal a silmaril?

How old was Bëor when he died?

He was 93, I believe.

Yes he was.

On the subject of Beor, what was his original name among his people?

Balan.

The ten days are up, so I'd say it's your thread, NightKnight. :D

Yeah, I think so too. :D

How many of Finwë's grandchildren were alive at the end of the First Age?

2- Maglor and Galadriel. Three if you count Finrod's reimbodiment.

Yeah. I'm not sure if you could count Maedhros as well, but whatever. Go ahead. :)

Cheers, ok, how many Elves died fighting Balrogs during the First Age?

Hmmm, a few thousand? Or do you mean named people? I can think of three.

I know five, Fëanor, Fingon, Rog, Ecthelion and Glorfindel. And there was another one in Gondolin, but I can't remember his name. (He was leader of one of the Houses, and was hit by a firebolt from the balrogs.) Oh, and also Rog's people, lots of them. All I can think of.

Yeah, I meant name them. NightKnight got 5, so he's up.

And as always, I keep thinking up great questions for this thread, but I always forget them. :D

Uhm...name all the people who owned silmarils during the first age.

If you mean "First Age" as in after the rising of the first sun, then it would be:
Morgoth, Beren/Luthien, Carcaroth, (Mablung), Thingol, Dwarves of Belegost, Dior, Elwing, Earendil, Eonwë, Maedhros, and Maglor. If you mean anytime before the Second Age, you would have to add in Fëanor. :rolleyes:

I meant First Age, so you are absolutely correct. :)

Sorry for the delay...
 

Who was the first man to see Belegaer?

Tuor?

Sure thing.

When Fëanor's sons attacked the elven settlement at the Mouths of Sirion, elves from five cities lived there. Which?

Brithombar, Egalrest, Nargothrond, Gondolin, and Menegroth.

Yes.

To whom did Mîm refuse to give his "earth-bread"?

Turin?

Nope.

Hmm...Beleg then?

Umm well I don't know, but the one I'm thinking of Mîm specifically told him he wasn't gonna feed him.

The one who killed Khim. Given a name in the Narn i Nin Hurin, I believe, but I don't know it.

Ulrad.

That's the fellow, Firefoot!

Thanks. List 6 other names for Túrin.

Turambar, Gorgol, Neithan, Mormegil, Agarwaen, Wildman of the Woods.

Yes. And congrats on your Ghost Princedom. :)

Thanks, Firefoot.
Who predicted that the Stone of the Hapless should never be thrown down? Whose bodies are in the Stone of the Hapless?

Glirhuin; Morwen, Turin and (Nienor).

Oui.

French...that is over my ability. :p

Where was Boromir lord?

Ladros.
