NightKnight 03-01-2004 01:09 PM

Also wrong. ;)

Arestevana 03-01-2004 04:01 PM

Eomer led the first, Elfhelm the second, and Grimbold the third.

NightKnight 03-02-2004 08:10 AM

Right-o. Your turn. :)

Arestevana 03-02-2004 02:31 PM

What is the name of the lands of Rohan which are east of the Entwash?

NightKnight 03-02-2004 03:31 PM

East Emnet?

Arestevana 03-02-2004 03:41 PM

Correct, NightKnight, you're up!:D

NightKnight 03-03-2004 01:19 AM

What word did Rohan originally come from, and what did it mean?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-03-2004 05:10 PM

I believe 'Rohan' came from 'Rochande", a Sindarin word meaning...(think, think, think...) either Land of Horses or Green Region...?

NightKnight 03-04-2004 02:08 PM

Close enough. It was actually Rochand, and it means Horse-land. You're up. :)

luthien-elvenprincess 03-04-2004 03:06 PM

ok...
How old was Theodred when he died?

NightKnight 03-04-2004 03:56 PM

I think he would have been 41.

luthien-elvenprincess 03-04-2004 08:44 PM

That's the way I learned math too, Nightknight.
Your turn.:)

NightKnight 03-06-2004 10:37 AM

Name two kings that lost two sons in war.

Arvedui III 03-06-2004 10:41 AM

Theoden and Folcwine both lost their sons in war.

symestreem 03-06-2004 05:02 PM

Folcwine did indeed lose two sons in war; however, Theoden lost only (only!) one. That's enough for any parent, isn't it?

I believe Helm Hammerhand is the other half of the answer; his son Haleth fell "last of all, defending the doors" of Meduseld, and Hama died at Helm's Deep.

NightKnight 03-06-2004 06:11 PM

Symestreem is correct. Theoden lost, as said, "only" one son, while both Folcwine and Helm lost two.

symestreem 03-09-2004 03:35 PM

What is the Eotheod?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-09-2004 05:57 PM

The homeland of the Horse-lords prior to moving to Rohan.

symestreem 03-09-2004 06:46 PM

Correct. It seems to have been used in a number of different contexts; there a two different locations that are called the Eotheod, although Rohan is not one of them; also, this quote, "There was no great love between Eotheod and the dwarves."

luthien-elvenprincess 03-10-2004 09:51 PM

Merry's gift from Eowyn upon leaving Rohan was what, and who did that gift memorialize?

NightKnight 03-11-2004 01:56 PM

It was a horn which was said to be taken from Scatha's hoard, and I think it memorialized Theoden.

luthien-elvenprincess 03-11-2004 03:30 PM

One-half correct. Theoden is wrong.:)

Arestevana 03-11-2004 04:09 PM

It memorialized Dernhelm.
Quote:

Recieve this small thing, as a memorial of Dernhelm and the horns of the Mark at the coming of the morning.

luthien-elvenprincess 03-11-2004 04:15 PM

Well, NightKnight got half the answer correct, Arestevana got the other half correct.

I guess that either one of you can go...whoever goes first wins:)

NightKnight 03-12-2004 07:10 AM

...and that's me. :D Sorry Arestevana. ;)

What was the name of the man that took kingship over Rohan during the Long Winter?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-12-2004 07:20 AM

well...Helm was King during the Long Winter. After winter broke, Frealaf became King

NightKnight 03-12-2004 07:27 AM

Maybe I should have said illegally took kingship. ;)

Gil-Galad 03-12-2004 08:18 AM

Wolf of the Dundendlings

NightKnight 03-13-2004 06:02 AM

Wulf actually, but yes. Your turn.

Gil-Galad 03-13-2004 12:02 PM

This persons Name is similar with "reaper"

NightKnight 03-19-2004 09:47 AM

Grimbold?

Gil-Galad 03-19-2004 04:39 PM

yep!

NightKnight 03-19-2004 04:47 PM

How many men did Eomer ride out with to destroy Ugluk and his troops?

Firefoot 03-19-2004 06:00 PM

120.

NightKnight 03-20-2004 04:12 AM

Correct. And I suppose you were there to witness it? :p

Firefoot 03-20-2004 06:37 AM

Sure was.
 
Who became king after Helm, and how were they related?

symestreem 03-20-2004 06:47 AM

Frealaf, the son of his sister. Who I think was named Hild.

Firefoot 03-20-2004 06:52 AM

Yes, on all accounts. You're up.

symestreem 03-20-2004 07:04 AM

Rohan + Spaceballs!!
 
"I am your sister's uncle's son's grandfather's brother's great-great-great-grandfather's uncle's great-great-grandfather's aunt's uncle's ghost! Unfortunately, I had some traumatic experiences shortly before I died, so while I can remember all that, I can't remember my name!" explained the specter to Eomer in his bedchamber one night. The obliging Eomer went to look up his visitor's identity in the Genealogical Tables of Rohan. What did he find?

NightKnight 03-20-2004 07:26 AM

Did he possibly find Baldor?
