Earendil, son of Idril, Daughter of Turgon, son of Fingolfin

so it would be more distant cousins...


anyways back to the quiz...


Who took the tower from the guard and who was the guard of the tower?

crpytic yes...

Sauron? He assaulted Minas Tirith, which was under Orodreth's care, and took Tol Sirion. He then became the lieutenant of Tol Sirion under Morgoth?

rather quick, good job, it was easy i know, couldn't think, busy making Silmarillion Flash movie

Cheers,

What/who killed Urwen?

An evil wind out of bloody Angband.

All yours, 'paurion.

Thanks!
 

So, like, which Elf-princes of Noldor died in Bragollach?

That would be Valiant Fingolfin, aganest Morgoths hammer did he meet his end...

Sorr, Gil.
 

Fingolfin died after Bragollach.

then...Gelmir? but i guess he started Bragollach...

Angrod and Aegnor

Sorry, my mistake. I meant cousin's son. (I wouldn't consider that "distant".)

And the phantom takes it.
 

:)

:)
Who was the wife of the man described as "the most fierce and desperate"?

Eiliniel?

Ditch that last "i" and you've got it.

Or... well, I suppose you can have it anyway.

:p

An extra "i"?
 

Ai, Eru nîn! A misspelling I have made!

Well, thanks, Herr phantom, for overlooking my mistake. :)

Who brought up the father of the king of the Kings of Men?

Kings of Men= Numenoreans

The King of the Numenoreans= the line of Elros

The father of the line= Elros

Who brought Elros up? Maglor

Is that what you were looking for?

I'm sorry.
 

Elros is not the father of that line, he was the first.

Then I suppose you are calling Earendil the father of the line?

Earendil was brought up by his mommy and daddy, Tuor and Idril.

Still not him, I'm afraid.
 

"[F]ather of the king of the Kings of Men" is a phrase in UT. It doesn't refer to Eärendil.

Looking for a phrase, eh? Bleh, I don't have my books.

But seeing as there is (or would appear to be) a limited number of candidates, I will venture one further guess...

Annael of the Grey-Elves

(not a complete guess though, for now that you mention UT I seem to remember a description of Tuor when in Turgon's hall or leaving it stating that he didn't know how great he looked, and it might have said something about looking the part of the father of the kings of men)

A buzzer-beater shot . . .
 

. . . and he scores!

Annael it is!

Your thread, Sir phantom.

the phantom doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "I give up". :p

Okay, who did men say was born with good luck?

Hint- he met Hurin.

Hint- he met Hurin after he (Hurin) was released from Angband.

Manthor?

Nope, but not too far off. The page I'm looking at right now has both Manthor's name and the name I'm looking for on it.

Could it be Avranc?

The phantom is out of town for the holidays, so he's requested that I babysit his quiz question. Avranc is not correct.

Fea

Hint-

He followed the wandering Hurin and had his good luck mentioned when they were near Brethil.

May I ask?
 

Is it found in the Silm or UT?

HoME Volume XI The War of the Jewels, The Wanderings of Hurin

a random guess....
 

hardang?

His name begins with an "A".

Let me spring in late here and say, Asgorn?

[Edit:] the ever kindhearted phantom sent me a pm asking whether I meant "Asgon". I suspect I did.

I suspect you did, also.

And if our suspicions are correct, it would be your turn.

Go ahead, my dear.

Thank you I shall...
 

Amon Rudh resembled a bald head. That bald head occasionally appeared to have a strange ailment. What was that ailment, and what was its cause?

Amon Rudh was covered with seregon, a plant named for its blood-like appearance. It often appeared that this hill was covered with blood. This hill was made of stone, though seregon (meaning blood of stone in Quenya) was able to grow on it.

Is this what you were looking for?

Precisely
 

That's exactly what I was looking for. Sorry about the extremely strange wording, otherwise the question would have been too easy.

*steps to the side* the floor is yours. :)
