Yes. One of the elf-kings held a feast near the Pools of Ivrin.

NightKnight 04-16-2004 07:54 PM

Alright, here we go then:

Umbar
Isengard
Edoras
Amon Hen
Rivendell

The Perky Ent 04-16-2004 07:56 PM

Amon Hen, the only place where Legolas and Gimli didn't travel with Aragorn

NightKnight 04-16-2004 07:58 PM

Nope.

The Perky Ent 04-16-2004 08:02 PM

Rivendel, the only place where a man didn't rule?

NightKnight 04-16-2004 08:02 PM

Wrong.

The Perky Ent 04-16-2004 08:06 PM

Isengard, the only place to be invaded by Ents?

NightKnight 04-16-2004 08:07 PM

Negative.

The Perky Ent 04-16-2004 08:08 PM

Umbar, the only place not to be visited by a Istari?

NightKnight 04-16-2004 08:09 PM

Now you're getting closer...

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-17-2004 02:39 AM

Guess who's back, back again...
 
Isengrim...errr..gard, the only place where an Istar made his abode. :)

NightKnight 04-17-2004 03:49 AM

Nope.

symestreem 04-17-2004 04:07 PM

Umbar was the only one where an Istari, specifically Gandalf, did not use his power?
Gandalf threw Saruman out of Theoden at Edoras. He prevented Sauron from finding the Ring at Amon Hen. He cracked Saruman's staff at Isengard. At Rivendell he... um... helped with the flood and convinced Elrond to let the Meiadoc and Pippin join the Fellowship.

NightKnight 04-18-2004 03:50 AM

Good answer, but no.

symestreem 04-18-2004 08:00 AM

Amon Hen, the only one where an Istari did not stay?

NightKnight 04-18-2004 08:03 AM

No. You need to think smaller.

Evisse the Blue 04-18-2004 08:14 AM

Umbar - the only place where a hobbit hasn't been?

NightKnight 04-18-2004 08:16 AM

Correct. :)

Evisse the Blue 04-18-2004 08:47 AM

i seem to guess 'em right these days...
 
Woodhall
Imladris
Frogmorton
Mithlond

:)

NightKnight 04-18-2004 09:14 AM

Frogmorton - the only place where the hobbits didn't meet elves?

Evisse the Blue 04-18-2004 09:26 AM

whoa, that was extra fast!
 
I mean, I expected it to be short lived, but not that short-lived. :D

Your turn, again, Nightknight!

NightKnight 04-18-2004 10:12 AM

Woodhall gave it away...the only thing that ever happened there was the hobbits meeting Gildor and his people.

An easy one:
Erebor
Ered Luin
Nulukkizdin
Ered Mithrin

symestreem 04-18-2004 11:26 AM

Ered Mithrin is the only one without a colony of dwarves.

NightKnight 04-18-2004 11:32 AM

Not what I was looking for.

symestreem 04-18-2004 01:23 PM

Ered Luin is the only one that has not been sacked by a dragon or more?

NightKnight 04-18-2004 01:39 PM

You have it. :)

symestreem 04-24-2004 06:57 AM

Minas Tirith
Doriath
Rivendell
Gondolin
the Fens of Sirion

Again, think happy thoughts.

Mad Baggins 04-24-2004 05:40 PM

Rivendell was the only place where blood was not spilled?

symestreem 04-24-2004 05:44 PM

Happier than that.

NightKnight 04-25-2004 03:57 AM

The Fens of Sirion, the only one where two lovers didn't meet? (Minas Tirith - Faramir and Eowyn, Doriath - Beren and Luthien, Rivendell - Aragorn and Arwen, Gondolin - Tuor and Idril)

symestreem 04-25-2004 09:52 AM

You're definitely on the right track, but you need to narrow your criterion.

NightKnight 04-27-2004 04:38 AM

They met lovers of another race... If Minas Tirith is the one in the First Age, then could it be Beren and Luthien meeting there?

symestreem 04-27-2004 08:33 PM

It's Minas Tirith of Gondor, and it's not meeting lovers. You're on the right track, though.

Lindolirian 04-27-2004 08:58 PM

The Fens of Sirion is the only place where a half-elf was not born.
Minas Tirith- Eldarion
Doriath- Dior
Rivendell- Arwen
Gondolin- Earendil

symestreem 04-28-2004 04:35 AM

We don't know for sure that Dior was born in Doriath, Eldarion was born in Minas Tirith, or Arwen was born in Rivendell. And I don't think Arwen counts as a half-elf- but let's not go into that. Anyway, you're forgetting two very important people who were born at the Fens of Sirion.

NightKnight 04-28-2004 08:14 AM

Elrond and Elros! And then Eärendil in Gondolin, Arwen in Rivendell, Luthien in Doriath... which leaves Minas Tirith. Or maybe Rivendell, since you said you weren't sure of Arwen, and instead we take Eldarion in Minas Tirith.

symestreem 04-28-2004 02:32 PM

Sorry, NightKnight, but it's not birth. Something related, though, at least in Middle-earth. But that's a great answer!

NightKnight 04-28-2004 03:08 PM

Marriages between people from different races:
Gondolin - Tuor and Idril
Doriath - Beren and Luthien/Thingol and Melian
Minas Tirith - Aragorn and Arwen
Rivendell - Elrond and Celebrian
Fens of Sirion is the OPO.

symestreem 04-28-2004 08:08 PM

So close!!
 
Now you need to widen your criterion, and never assume anything that the books don't tell you (or imply beyond a reasonable doubt). Were Elrond and Celebrian of different races?

NightKnight 04-28-2004 10:45 PM

At least one half-elf got married in all except Gondolin?
