Hmm. Tirion is the only place where a younger brother did not reign.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-29-2004 08:53 PM

Finarfin did rule in Tirion. And he's younger than Fëa or Fingolfin.

Nope. Try another hook.

Lhunardawen 07-30-2004 10:23 PM

Hmm...Emyn Arnen is the only place where the original ruler did not die???

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-30-2004 10:48 PM

No.
 
Look at the rulers closely.

If you need hints, well... :p
Ask for it.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-04-2004 11:16 PM

OK, a hint.
 
First, I gave rulers.

Now, the clue is phoneme.

Please, please, please . . . solve this. I implore. I beg. I grovel. I'll even bribe.

Evisse the Blue 08-05-2004 02:49 AM

Hmm, that hint brings even more confusion to me...

Emyn Arnen the only one who had rulers who shared the same name, but different titles, as in: Hurin I, Hurin II?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-05-2004 11:38 PM

Sorry, Evissë.
 
The list of rulers of the respective places are quite short. Try listing them all. Then you'll see one place has a weedle problem. ;)

Hope that helps!

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-12-2004 12:11 AM

Rulers, phoneme . . .
 
My last clue is "F". Hope that helped.

Telchar 09-19-2005 10:22 AM

Is it as simple as: Nargothrond Because it was the only place that was ruled by someone whose name did not start with "F" (Orodreth)

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-21-2005 06:47 PM

Nope.
 
Your reason was correct, but the answer was wrong. :p

Glirdan 09-21-2005 06:50 PM

Gondolin because Turgon was the only one who ruled in Gondolin and his name doesn't start with and "F".

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-21-2005 07:26 PM

Yesss!
 
After a year and two months, you have finally got it, Glirdan! :D

That means you can think of a puzzle for us now. :)

Glirdan 09-21-2005 08:07 PM

WOW!! That long?? My, my!! And me the one to guess it!! As if!!! Here we go, my first time:

Misty Mountains
Osgilith
Mordor
Minas Morgul

Hint: Think of where all Hobbits have gone.

PS: This is probably really easy, but I can't think of anything else right now.

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-21-2005 08:14 PM

A
 
Is It the misty mountains

The only place they have all been ?

(I think)

Glirdan 09-21-2005 08:18 PM

Yep!!!
 
You're right Rune!! You're thread!!! ;)
*Mutters* I knew it was to easy....... :rolleyes:

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-22-2005 07:25 AM

I could think of nothing else
 
Ok here goes:

Gondolin
Nargothrond
Menegroth
Elgarest

Hint: Think War of the Jewles

Just say if you want a new hint.

Telchar 09-22-2005 07:31 AM

Menegroth was not sacked by the forces of Morgoth, but by dwarves...

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-22-2005 02:39 PM

I did not think it was that easy
 
Yes thats the answer i was looking for.

your turn.

Telchar 09-22-2005 11:53 PM

Rauros
Hornburg
Edoras
Moria
Amon Sul

I think this one is rather difficult, so don't look for simple answers ;)

The Perky Ent 09-23-2005 12:26 AM

Hornburg - The only place a hobbit was not present?

Telchar 09-23-2005 12:36 AM

All the hobbits went to Helms Deep on their way home, didn't they?

NightKnight 09-23-2005 10:42 AM

Moria: The only place where a Nazgul was not sighted?

Morsul the Dark 09-23-2005 10:54 AM

or amun sul because its the only place orcs werent

Telchar 09-23-2005 02:36 PM

Moria: The only place where a Nazgul was not sighted?
Well the same goes for Rauros, doesn't it? The Nazgul which steed Legolas shot, were encountered at the beginning of the Sarn Gebir some 30-40 miles north of Rauros.


or amon sul because its the only place orcs weren't
That goes for Edoras as well... Dunledings are not orcs.


HINT: Connect a single caracters actions at the sites (or very close by), and see where that brings you :)

Morsul the Dark 09-24-2005 09:24 AM

ok....aragorn is the only consistent charactor at all the places....sooo....um edoras is the only one aragorn didnt fight at?

Telchar 09-24-2005 02:09 PM

Very close! Aragorn is correct, but Im not concerned with fighting in this question...

Hiriel 10-01-2005 11:31 PM

Well, then, perhaps this. Rauros was the only place that Aragorn didn't stay at more any great period of time. They burried Boromir and started running. He stayed many days at Edoras, Moria, and the Hornburg, and spent the night at Amon Sul.

Telchar 10-02-2005 08:15 AM

A nice quess but no :)

Telchar 10-07-2005 03:21 PM

Correct answer: Aragorn Spoke verse, chanted or sang at all places save Moria.

Im going away for a week (to lovely Spain), and won't be back until next monday, so anybody can continue this thread :)

Glirdan 10-07-2005 03:25 PM

Okie dokie!!!

Mirkwood Forest
Fangorn Forest
Rivendell
Lothlorien

Hint: Once again think of Hobbits. This one might be easy alos, but I can't rack my brain for anything right now.

Hiriel 10-13-2005 12:38 PM

Fangorn, because that is the only forest that a Baggins did not enter.

Glirdan 10-13-2005 01:59 PM

Nope!!! Good reasoning behind that though. I would have given it to you because I forgot what the answer wasm but now I remember. Keep guessing!! ;)

Hiriel 10-13-2005 04:27 PM

*sighs* Alright then. Mirkwood, because no halfing member of the Fellowship ever went there.

Glirdan 10-13-2005 07:00 PM

Again, good reasoning but not quite what I'm thinking of. Wow!! I didn't know it would be this hard!!! :eek: :p ;)

NightKnight 10-14-2005 09:06 AM

I suppose it's not as easy as Rivendell, because it's not a forest? :p

Glirdan 10-14-2005 01:59 PM

Nope!! Wrong again. Keep guessing. :p :D

Hiriel 10-14-2005 04:35 PM

Herm...Mirkwood, because that was the only place a hobbit had to fight anything (spiders).

Glirdan 10-14-2005 08:35 PM

Still no. :D Need a hint?

Telchar 10-19-2005 08:00 AM

No hobbit lost their way in Lorien

Glirdan 10-19-2005 03:16 PM

Right place, wrong reason. If you can guess that, I'll give it to you. :p
