That would be ...
 

... Azog.

Hm, I'm going to have to start coming up with some harder questions.

Fingolfin - 2
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 1
Osse - 1

7. How many Orcs were slain by the Fellowship in the Chamber of Mazarbul?

14- 13 orcs and 1 orc cheiftain.

Fingolfin - 3
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 1
Osse - 1

8. What were the three companies of Orcs in the band that captured Merry and Pippin, and what were each of their purposes?

Gil-Galad - that was the question at the end of the last page.

i'm getting to stiff for this...

Moria orcs from the Misty Mountains followed the Company for revenge or whatever. Isengarders had orders from Saruman to bring Halflings to Isengard alive, and Grishnakh and his band from Mordor were under the direction of the Nazgul to do whatever possible to haunt the Ringbearer and possibly take it from him...

Fingolfin - 3
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 2
Osse - 1

9. Name 2 people who cut off the arms and hands of Orcs when they tried to capture him.

Can I drop in?
 

Húrin and Merry.

Fingolfin - 3
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 2
Osse - 1
Nilpaurion - 1

10. How are Orcs' feet shod?

With iron.

Yes, and that means it is a tie between Lindolirian and Fingolfin. So, this will be a tie-breaker question, only those two can answer.

How did the fight in the Tower of Cirith Ungol start?

It all started with Gorbag trying to pinch that pretty shirt...

Ah, yes. In that case, please proceed. :)

Hmmm that was a bad idea answering that last one with no topic in prep for the next game....:eek: But I think it'll work out anyhow:

Lays, Poems, and Songs (and their authors) is our next Topic. And the first question is:
1. Which lay is the longest of all written about the First Age?

The Lay of Leithian.

Narn i hin Húrin.

Nope!
Edit: Yes to Nil... cross posting... Oi!

Nil- 1

2. What was the Battle of Unnumbered Tears called in The Narn?

Nirnaeth Arnoediad, perhaps?

No that was the battle's final name. The one I'm looking for was a predecessor to that. Its in the first few lines of the Narn.

Nirnaeth Ornoth/Urnoth!

Correct!

Nil- 2

3. How many cantos make up the Lay of Leithan?

13 complete ones, and some unwritten ones, seven as near as I can tell.

That'll do!

Nil- 2
Firefoot- 1

4. Who (according to a certain song) is a throned lord of wisdom with a deadly sword, a healing hand, a trumpet-voice, and a burning brand?

Wouldn't that be Aragorn? probaly not...

Probably not...:confused:

now that rings a bell, Turgon!

The wrong bell has been rung!
It's the "throned" part that is meant to throw you off... and it's working.

I'm tempted to Say Thingol, but thats wrong...maybe Fingon...no...hint maybe at hand?

It's the "throned" part that is meant to throw you off... and it's still working.
 

Aragorn was closest. The fellow that the song about was never throned; I don't know why it says it in the song, but it does, so I used it.

hmm maybe Burning Brand is a hint...Denethor II? steward of Gondor

Yes burning is included, but not burning of himself.
This is from a song in the books, not a cryptic riddle of my own. Though I did pick and choose lines to make it tougher.

Can i ask what age this person lived in...

All, but he was most prominent in the Third. (There I've given it away haven't I?)

Meh Gandalf or ELrond

Gandalf...

Well Gil-Galad, I'd give it to you, but you might think it's Elrond. Osse is the first one with the correct definitive answer. The song was Gandalf's "eulogy" sung by Frodo in Lorien.

Nil- 2
Firefoot- 1
Osse- 1

5. Again, according to a song, what causes pools to be black and stones to crack?

According to Bilbo's song...
 

Winter.

That's it!

Nil- 2
Firefoot- 1
Osse- 1
Evisse- 1

6. What was Gleowine's last song?

'Twas a song for Théoden at his funeral.
