I thought this could be one of the possible traps one can fall into. Not a correct answer.

In that case I suppose you mean Eldarion.

Nay. Still the same trap :)

I believe the trap is about the boat of Legolas and Gimli, who did not set sail from Edhellond, but instead sailed down the Anduin and then over the Sea.

According to the story of Amroth the last ship left in autumn of 1981, and in that time King of Gondor was Eärnil II.

Absolutely and totally correct, even the explanation of Legolas' and Gimli's fate as bonus. :)

TM, you may continue.

The last ship left the Elf haven of Edhellond in 1981 of the third age with Amroth aboard. He jumped overboard... and we know the rest of the story.

During this time, Earnil II was king in Gondor.

I've been posting to much anyway, so Shards of Narsil, post a new one if you wish. :)

Thanks Might. It looks as if we were typing our response at the same time. I'm just a little slow this morning.

Any way, here is my post.

We all know that Cirion and Eorl met at the site of Elendil's tomb and there Cirion gave Calenardon to the Rohirrim and together they took the Oath of Eorl. What did Cirion do at that time that was not done at any other time during the entire Third Age?

Call Eru as witness of his oath?

Legate, what are you? That took 3 minutes! I was hoping that I could get half a day out of this.

The thread is yours.

Good question... but I am not going to tell you... mwa ha ha... :D

But you'll have chance to post something else if your reply to this:

Whose reign was not much appreciated, and his son left the country as soon as he reached maturity?

I believe that would be Fengel. It was his son Thengel who left to live in Gondor due to a disagreement with his father.

Correct! Your turn.

Sorry for the delay. I was away for the weekend, and then couln't come up with much worth putting in. Even now, this one should be pretty easy.

The Argonath marked the northern border of Gondor (at the time of their construction). Each statue had the left hand held palm outward in a "stop, don't go any further" motion.

Who did each statue represent, and what did the right hand of each statue hold?

I believe they represented Isildur and Anarion andthey both held axes in their hands.

Might-ee fine answer
 

Yup. That was easy.

Where was the middle of Gondor (as the Gondorians approximatively decided)?

I think it was Amon Anwar?

Yes, indeed Halfirien it is.

The beginning of the attacks of the Easterlings in early 3rd age caused the Gondorians to do one particular thing that did not have anything to do with military or strategy. What was it?

I think they began the tradition of leaving written instructions to be used by the King's heir in case of the King's untimely death.

Eeexactly. Please continue.

How many White Trees existed in Minas Tirith ?

Three

Indeed.

Saruman first appeared in Rohan at the coronation of_____?

Fréalaf Hildeson!!! (Hooray!) :D

Hooray!:D

Over to you.

Who(se family) followed the trajectory Belfalas -> Lossarnach -> Rohan?

Théoden's? His mother was Morwen of Lossarnach, and I think her family came from Belfalas.

Yup, exactly, Morwen and all the folks around her were what I had in mind. You may continue.

What occurred at the death of Belecthor II?

The White Tree died.

That it did.

Who dwelt in the tower of Orthanc since the Eorlingas came to Rohan (before Saruman)?

No one.

Cannot fool you ;) Good, please continue.

What did the Dunlendings call the Rohirrim?

Forgoil

Yep... fairly lame insult, if you ask me.

Over to you.
