Peregrin Took?

Fingolfin II 10-28-2004 04:59 AM

That is correct- alas too little, too late. The winner of this topic is Firefoot; take it away!

Firefoot 10-28-2004 05:28 AM

Paladin?

Fingolfin II 10-28-2004 09:04 PM

Uh, NightKnight got it right as I said above. But it's your turn anyway, Firefoot, because you got the most right :).

Firefoot 11-01-2004 02:58 PM

The Saucepan Man 11-08-2004 06:36 PM

From all the waterways and bodies of water in Middle-earth:


Quote:

For all seas, lakes, rivers, fountains and springs are in his government; so that the Elves say that the spirit of Ulmo runs in all the veins of the world. Thus news comes to Ulmo, even in the deeps, of all the needs and grief of Arda, which otherwise would be hidden from Manwe.

NightKnight and Lindolirian are tied, so here's a tie breaker question just for them:

*How many times in LotR are songs sang to Elbereth?*

NightKnight 11-15-2004 01:30 PM

Oi...

The only ones I can remember are the one in Rivendell, and didn't Sam sing one in Cirith Ungol? So I say 2...

Firefoot 11-15-2004 01:41 PM

More than that.

Lindolirian 11-15-2004 05:05 PM

Thrice in FotR if you count Galadriel's song to Varda
Once (?) in TT when Sam's tongue was loosed
Once in RotK when the Ringbearers meet up with the Elves heading for the Grey Haven

Making for a grand total of five?

Firefoot 11-15-2004 05:38 PM

Lindo, I yield the thread to thee. :)

Lindolirian 11-18-2004 10:18 AM

Thank you so much, O Man of the Flaming Feet!
The next Topic is Creatures
Meaning any living non-plant that is not an Elf, Man, Dwarf, or Hobbit. Ents? Maybe...;)
1. From what creature came the prize of Vorondil the Steward?

Nilpaurion Felagund 11-18-2004 09:43 PM

The Kine of Araw.

'tis funny: Araw in Filipino means Sun.
Just ignore this.

Lindolirian 11-19-2004 03:08 PM

Just ignore random trivia??? Where do you think you're posting?

2. What sort of creature was Thuringwethil?

Firefoot 11-19-2004 03:29 PM

A bat.

The Saucepan Man 11-19-2004 07:00 PM

A Vampire?

Lindolirian 11-19-2004 07:31 PM

It's a close call, but I think PanMan is more right.
