Fëanor?

nynnd1 05-28-2004 05:22 AM

Hurin

Gil-Galad 05-28-2004 03:58 PM

nope natta sorry, no

Fingolfin II 05-28-2004 09:37 PM

Ah! Fingolfin?

Gil-Galad 05-29-2004 07:41 AM

its right, but i would like to hear your reasons...

Fingolfin II 05-29-2004 07:49 PM

Ok, well Fingolfin rode in anger after he saw what he though what was 'the complete overthrow of all the Houses of the Noldor' (or something like that), he ran from Valinor in disgrace after the Kinslaying, he fell by darkness (killed by Morgoth), and was lifted up into the mountains by Thorondor. And I think it says somewhere that his grave was never disturbed until treachery was born in his kin or something. Whew!

Gil-Galad 06-04-2004 09:03 PM

in anger I rode-yep
in disgrace I ran-yep
fell by darkness-yep...again (scary)
lifted into the light- Eagles were beings of the valar of light (manwe)
rested afar-grave in moutins, around gondolin
never shall be reached-mountains around gondolin have never been surpassed
never shall be found- went down with sinking of beleriand


but overall you did pretty good, your go!

Fingolfin II 06-05-2004 02:32 AM

Try this one out for size-

I fought unarmed and was born twice.

The Perky Ent 06-05-2004 08:17 AM

Well...if you think Gandalf's staff isn't a weapon, then Gandalf. He fought the Balrog un-armed (I know it's wrong) and died at ZiragZigil, but was reborn courtesy of the Valar.

Elwe Singollo 06-05-2004 09:43 AM

Although he seemed to manage to keep Glamdring.

I say Finrod. He fought the wolf that tried to eat Beren and himself (Draugluin perhaps it was) with his bare hands and he died. But then it says "But Finrod walks with Finarfin his father beneath the trees in Eldamar." So he was reborn for the second time.

luthien-elvenprincess 06-05-2004 09:49 AM

I will answer Beren. He fought against Carcharoth with only one hand (unarmed), and he was allowed to come back from the dead in honor of Luthien's request (born twice).

Fingolfin II 06-05-2004 07:40 PM

Good answers everyone, and right in their own way, but Elwe Singollo has the one I'm looking for, so he's up :).

Heh heh.

Elwe Singollo 06-06-2004 06:53 AM

Ok guys here goes.

King of realm within,
Was hidden the bride of man,
Betrayed by son of sister,
High King for a time,
Until rule passed to,
The star of radiance.
Brother of Valiant,
Brother of beauty
Son of leader of his kind.

Gil-Galad 06-06-2004 07:25 PM

too easy...Turgon...

Elwe Singollo 06-07-2004 04:25 AM

I thought it was a bit easy too.

Your turn Gil-Galad

Gil-Galad 06-07-2004 06:26 AM

righti-o!

died twice in each born,
once for greed,
other for land,
but i died aganest smaller foes...who am I?



it might be too easy as well...

Elwe Singollo 06-07-2004 06:43 AM

Saruman?

Gil-Galad 06-07-2004 03:20 PM

i wouldn't make it that easy...

Fingolfin II 06-08-2004 04:01 AM

Thingol?

Gil-Galad 06-08-2004 06:33 AM

close but no...i would like you to explain your anwsers as well

Elwe Singollo 06-27-2004 02:14 AM

10 days gone
 
Hers Goes:

Slain by own means.

The Perky Ent 06-27-2004 09:07 AM

Just a random guess...Turin?

Gil-Galad 06-27-2004 09:47 AM

actually, doesn't it count if a person tried too anwser yet there was no reply? seeing how i still replyed....if doesn't count i'll give the anwser out too anyone whos wondering

Elwe Singollo 06-27-2004 03:28 PM

Perky: Turin was killed by his own means but not who I'm thinking of.

Gil-galad: I think if a quiz thread is left unposted in for 10 days then it becomes free for all.

Fingolfin II 06-27-2004 05:59 PM

Could it be Denethor II? He killed himself in the fire, so I suppose it was by his own means...

Correct. It's up to the question-setter to keep their question going if they don't want it to lapse.

Gil-Galad 06-27-2004 06:50 PM

well the anwser was Mablung just too let you know...


died twice in each born, - died once as elf (first born) and as man (second born)
once for greed, - aganest dwarves who were pludering
other for land, - defended Osgiliath
but i died aganest smaller foes...who am I? dwarves and orcs were smaller foes

Elwe Singollo 06-28-2004 03:20 AM

Sorry Fingolfin. Not Denethor either.

Gil-galad: I thought on this thing the person had to the the same. Like I would understand if it was someone like Glorfindel who was the same person (or supposedly). But Mablung is a man and an elf.

Gil-Galad 06-28-2004 06:33 AM

hey did have the same...the same name! if you look alot of Who Am I's include hints that direct too 2 different people with the same name!

Elwe Singollo 06-28-2004 11:26 AM

Anymore guesses anyone?

Gil-Galad 06-28-2004 12:56 PM

Sauron...in a way


Drinking panda!

http://www.battle.net/war3/images/ge...unkenpanda.gif

Elwe Singollo 06-28-2004 02:51 PM

nope

The Perky Ent 06-28-2004 04:04 PM

Nice drinking panda! Somelike likes Warcraft ;) anyways, >_< D'oh! Sauron was my guess, but I guess now I have to come up with a new one. Hmmm, how abouts...hmm, tuffy! Oh! I gots one! Gollum! He died when he jumped in the fires, and wasn't pushed like it is in the movie. So, gollum?

Elwe Singollo 06-29-2004 10:31 AM

No.

You people eally need to try a different approach.

This person didn't kill himself.

Mithalwen 06-29-2004 12:09 PM

Beleg - slain by his own sword when cutting Turin's bonds?

Elwe Singollo 06-30-2004 02:59 AM

Correct Mithalwen. Your turn.

symestreem 07-19-2004 12:29 PM

*bump*
 
*bump* Mithalwen?

Gil-Galad 07-19-2004 12:30 PM

well we could have made a new question...

nynnd1 07-20-2004 04:10 AM

I say new question i tried thinking of one but my mind went blank.

Dont let the thread go, its too good to go, save the thread. ;)
