This is getting very Silmarillion orientated, isn't it? That's not bad, though.

But I feel a bit stupid now, not having read it... http://www.smilies.nl/person/052.gif

the real findorfin 12-19-2002 09:50 AM

Close but not entirely correct, only three of those our right.

Remember, I said 'KINGS'.

the real findorfin 12-19-2002 11:58 AM

Ar-Pharazon, Ar-Gimilzor, Ar-Sakalthor.

Ar-Zimraphel was Ar-Pharazon's wife, and the rightful QUEEN!

Ar-Feiniel was another name of Aredhel.

the real findorfin 12-19-2002 12:50 PM

nope, Ar-Battarik was official named Tar-Ardamin. You've only got one left,come on!

Nope, his brother did though!

Pallando B.C 12-19-2002 05:38 PM

Hmm... Could be a trick question!

He married No-one, since he died in Dagor Bragollach

Pallando B.C 12-20-2002 04:39 PM

Thanks, the real findorfin.

Ok here are my questions,an easy one to start with.

1)Who killed Elwë and why?

Precioussss 12-20-2002 07:24 PM

The Dwarves that Elwe summoned to remake the Nauglamir and put a Silmaril in it wanted the Nauglamir back, and of course Thingol wouldn't give it to them and he scorned them, which made the Dwarves mad. Then they killed him and fled Doriath.

Pallando B.C 12-20-2002 09:08 PM

Correct, Precioussss

2)Why is Quickbeam called Quickbeam?

Precioussss-1

mordor136 12-20-2002 10:43 PM

because he is very hasty for an ent

Beren87 12-20-2002 10:55 PM

Because he once answered an older ents' question before the ent was done asking it, so he was considered hasty.

Pallando B.C 12-20-2002 11:20 PM

Beren87 has it.

mordor136 you needed a bit more information.

3)What did Sam name his first-born after?

Precioussss-1
Beren87-1

zacattack 12-21-2002 12:11 AM

His firstborn was Elanor and it was named after a beautiful flower Sam and Frodo had seen on their journeys

Pallando B.C 12-21-2002 12:17 AM

Well Done, zacattack.

Ok, lets get a tiny bit harder.

4)What is the last day of the Elvish Calander?

Precioussss-1

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-21-2002 02:06 PM

Mettarë, the day immediately after the 'season' of coirë.

Aylwen

Pallando B.C 12-21-2002 06:28 PM

Aylwen is correct.

5)Where did Olórin go while on Aman, to learn pity and patience?

The House of Nienna.

Pallando B.C 12-22-2002 06:32 AM

Beren87 has taken the lead, with a correct answer.
