Where was the home of Ratagast the Brown and what was it called?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-24-2005 05:39 AM

Rhosgobel, in Rhovanion.

Iaurhirwen 08-24-2005 08:16 AM

yes. That was very easy, wasn't it? I must find better questions to ask. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-24-2005 08:32 AM

Thanks!
 
No hard questions, please! I wouldn't want my head to explode!

Hmmm . . . where does Cirith Ninniach lead into (from Hithlum, that is.)

Alcarillo 08-24-2005 02:27 PM

From Hithlum it leads into Lammoth. Well, it's right in front of the Firth of Drengist. If you head right you go into Lammoth, left into Nevrast.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-24-2005 08:55 PM

Firth of Drengist is what I'm looking for.
 
Tag. You're it. :)

Alcarillo 08-24-2005 09:04 PM

Where was The Floating Log?

Iaurhirwen 08-24-2005 11:34 PM

In Frogmorton, in the Shire's eastfarthing

Alcarillo 08-24-2005 11:35 PM

Yep
 
Iaur's got it.

Telchar 09-08-2005 02:50 AM

Helloooo
 
Bumb!

Iaurhirwen 09-08-2005 10:07 AM

OH! Right!!! I'm supposed to have posted a question. I'm so sorry everybody! The first week of college really got me wrapped up and I totally forgot about this thread. But, no worries, I'm back.

Now, to think of a question . . . If you were sailing north from the Bay of Balar to the Firth of Drengist, what rivers would you encounter entering into the sea?

The Perky Ent 09-08-2005 03:31 PM

Um...i'm probably wrong about this...

If you're going along the coast, its Sirion, Nenning, Britchcn, then the Firth. Unless you count the rivers you pass from the latitude...or if i jsut got it wrong

Iaurhirwen 09-09-2005 11:25 AM

Yes, you're right Perky! Come on Down, You're the next contestant on The Price is . . . .ahem, I mean Geography Grilling

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-15-2005 07:07 PM

Perks? Forgot this one.

The Perky Ent 09-15-2005 07:15 PM

Don't be hasty! I've been researching. And i've found my answer!

what is the longest river in Eriador?

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-15-2005 07:37 PM

Sorry, didn't know that.
 
I would not have a future as a Seer. ;)

Brandywine?

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-15-2005 07:46 PM

Maybe Not
 
Greyflood River ? ? ?

But i am not sure, becourse later Greyflood becomes divided into loudwater and Hoarwel so ?

The Perky Ent 09-15-2005 07:49 PM

Welcome, Rune Son
 
Well...I somehow lost (which I can't believe, because I treasure it over all of my resources) my Maps of Middle Earth book. However, a cursory glance would show that the Greyflood (not counting tributaries) and Brandywine seem pretty equal. However, since you're new, and I myself was thinking of the Greyflood, you get it Rune Son! Welcome to the Downs!

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-15-2005 07:55 PM

'tis only fair.
 
And let me join Perks in welcoming you, Rune Son of Bjarne! :D

NightKnight 09-18-2005 05:07 AM

Yip. Your turn.

The Perky Ent 09-22-2005 01:44 PM

Where did the wife of Turin die?

An easy one, as my computer is mucho slow!

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-22-2005 03:09 PM

Well she jumpet from Kabed-en-Aras (Kabed Naeramarth) down in the river Teiglin, so i guess she died in the Teiglin

The Perky Ent 09-22-2005 03:40 PM

Kabed-en-Aras indeed. Cabed Naeramarth after her death :D

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-22-2005 04:15 PM
