Numenor, since it was not founded by neither Morgoth or Sauron

HI - indeed. Too easy, I guess. Well, I couldn't think of something.

Curulin - Sauron was chased away from Angband, by Huan and Luthien

Thanks, lathspell

next is not so hard either:


Bag-End
Esgaroth
Rivendell
Thranduil's Palace

Esgaroth was the only place not visited by Bilbo.

Hello there.
is it Bag-end, cos its the only place bilbo went where there were no elves. isnt esgaroth another name for lake-town? in whch case he did visit there... i have another guess, but i dont think it's right, so im only going to put it if this is wrong...
Curulin

Bag-End; it was the one place Bilbo lived with other hobbits (as opposed to dwarves, elves or men).

all good guesses, but neither one is correct.

Rivendell was the only one never used as a prison? A wild guess.

Or is simpler -- Bag End was the only hobbit dwelling?

Esgaroth was the only one never used as a prison? A wild guess.

Or is simpler -- Bag End was the only hobbit dwelling?

I'll give you a hint:

Thing to which one's communication skills are aplied on solemn occasions

It's Thranduil's Palace.
Reason: The only Place where the Dwarves (and Bilbo in a way) were imprisoned, and Bilbo functioned as a communication 'medium' for the Dwarves.

Here they are:

It may be somewhat hard, but here's something that may help: geometrics

Isengard
Mount Gundabad
The Grey Havens
Bree

anyone?

geomet... huh?

Well, Bree, situated relatively in an open place. All the rest were protected from three sides

You're on the right track, HerenIstarion.
only the reason was not the one I was looking for

Bree is the only one not fortified. If not that has it got something to to do with leaders ...no...oh well!

Geometrics, huh? If the first three were points in a triangle, Bree would be in the middle of it.

Lindolirian, I think you must have hit the ten mark. Lathspell, do you confirm?

lathspell does confirm. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

good job and please continue the thread, Lindolirian.

Cool beans...

Ard-Galen
Formenos
Gondolin
Tirion

Probably wrong, but I think it is Formenos, because it was the only one that wasn't a major city, or didn't hold a large population.

Otherwise, I would say Ard-Galen because it wasn't as much of a solid, fortified place as the others.

nope..
........curufinwe..........

I don't get it. what does Curufinwe mean? Wasn't that one of feanor's sons?

Curufinwe is the 'real' name of Feanor. His mother, however named him Curufinwe, which is a better name to resemble his eager burning spirit. Feanor is also the name by which he was remembered in later days.
In other ways... Curufinwe is Feanor.

As for the answer:
Just a guess.
Ard-galen, for it's the only place that did not hold the High-King of the Noldor. (I'm not sure about this, as I said, only a guess)

or

another guess:
Gondolin, the only place where Feanor hasn't lived. (not sure about this either)

greetings,
lathspell

lathspell is correct! Feanor never went to Gondolin.

Good!
Here's the new question:
- Angband
- Avathar
- Mirkwood
- Mordor

Mirkwood is the only one occupied by both good and evil forces. Also, Avathar is not in Middle Earth.

Both well-found, Lindolirian. But not the answer I'm waiting for.
Try again

greets,
lathspell

Angband was the only place not inhabited by giant spiders?

[ December 26, 2002: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

Avathar, since Sauron is not reported to be visiting it ever

[ December 27, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

Beren87, your turn!!!!

greetings,
lathspell

Hello all,
well since Beren doesnt seem to be replying, and i rather like this quizz, im going to ask a question. I'll do an easy one since it's not really my turn... ok, which is the odd one out and why???

Minas Tirith
Minas Ithil
Dol Amroth
Annuminas

First person to get it right, asks the next question.

Annuminas was the only one not in Gondor.

And since it was more than a week, or ten days, it is okay for you to post because we don't want threads to die out.

Sorry, thats not the answer i was thinking of, however correct it is. It's more specific...
Curulin

Dol Amroth - The other three have, or had a Palantir located there.

Congratulations Russandol, you got it.
Ok, now your go.....

Sea of Rhun
Greenwood the Great
Hithaeglir
Tyrn Gorthad

Ok, Greenwood; since it is the only place to under-go a major name change -- or because the other three places are in the Sindarian Language.

Nope, that's not the answer I'm looking for, keep trying!

A hobbit has never been reported to have travelled to the Sea of Rhûn?
