Findulas

Dimturiel 07-29-2005 11:30 AM

Findulas was from Nargothrond, not from Doriath. Try again. :p

Alcarillo 07-29-2005 01:04 PM

Was it Nellas?

Trick question. That's what I get for answering first thing in the morning without reading carefully.

Dimturiel 07-30-2005 02:21 AM

Yes,Alcarillo, it was Nellas. Sorry,Mormegil, better luck next time! ;)

Alcarillo 07-30-2005 08:20 AM

Name two characters became one-handed.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-30-2005 09:35 AM

Beren and . . . uh . . . Maedhros!

Alcarillo 07-30-2005 10:39 AM

Yep.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-30-2005 11:12 AM

Thanks!
 
Which Elven prince had the biggest territory?

Gil-Galad 07-30-2005 11:34 AM

Fingolfin i beleive, of Hithlum, well Fingolfin/Fingon

Alcarillo 07-30-2005 11:35 AM

Finrod Felagund.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-30-2005 11:39 AM

Alcarillo got it.
 
Back to you again. :)

Alcarillo 07-30-2005 11:46 AM

100th Post!
 
Who had hewn his right foot with an axe as a woodman?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-30-2005 12:03 PM

Sador Labadal.

Alcarillo 07-30-2005 12:07 PM

Yep.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-31-2005 07:38 AM

Thanks!
 
Name three characters who stepped into Angband on their own (that is, not forced into it).

Alcarillo 07-31-2005 01:08 PM

Beren, Lúthien, and Fingolfin? Does Beren count? He needed to enter Angband in order to retrieve a Silmaril, so would that count as being forced? And I know Fingolfin didn't enter Angband, but he did come pretty darn close to it, and I can't think of anybody else at the moment.

Gil-Galad 07-31-2005 07:51 PM

well theres Fingon...Luthien...and of course Eonwe and the Valar...Ooh Melkor! Sauron! and the Orcs that captured Hurin!

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-01-2005 04:11 AM

Beren and Lúthien counts.
 
But I should have clarified--"good" characters only.

I need one more.

Gil-Galad 08-01-2005 02:11 PM

wouldn't Fingon count? he chose to go to Angmar to look for Maedhros

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-02-2005 03:06 AM

If you recall . . .
 
Fingon didn't enter Angband--he clomb it.

Look for guys with grudges, and you'll get who I'm looking for.

Alcarillo 08-07-2005 02:06 PM

Tulkas sort-of had a grudge, you could say. But he's not a "good" character, right?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-07-2005 08:27 PM

Hmmm . . .
 
I think it's Utumno he descended into.

Anyway, he's not the one I'm looking for.

HINT: He entered Angband a little bit after Beren and Lúthien.

Alcarillo 08-07-2005 08:42 PM

Was it Gwindor? He had a grudge because his brother was chopped up in plain sight, and he and his soldiers

Quote:

... burst through the Gate and slew the guards upon the very stairs of Angband ...

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-07-2005 08:45 PM

Yes, yes!
 
You got him!

Your thread. :)

Alcarillo 08-07-2005 08:51 PM

Who is the first named person to be killed by a dragon?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-07-2005 09:01 PM

Stab in the dark.
 
Azaghâl?

Alcarillo 08-07-2005 09:23 PM

Yep. Sorry if my question wasn't very clear.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-07-2005 09:32 PM

Thanks!
 
And don't worry, the question was clear enough. :)

Name one Elf who went with Finrod and Beren.

Alcarillo 08-07-2005 09:53 PM

Edrahil's one of them.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 04:18 AM

That's all I need.
 
Take it. :)

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 01:18 PM

Thanks
 
Why was the River Ascar later called the Rathlóriel?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 07:42 PM

'cause the Laiquendi (led by Beren) battled the Menegroth-loot-laden Dwarves of Nogrod, and the treasures were dumped into the river.

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 07:45 PM

Yep. Your turn. :)

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 08:00 PM

Thanks!
 
What was the real name of Húrin's first daughter?

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 08:32 PM

That would be Urwen.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 08:55 PM

That would be correct.
 
Yours again. :)

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 08:59 PM

Thanks
 
Who with Arminas came upon Tuor at Annon-in-Gelydh?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 09:19 PM

Gelmir.

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 10:03 PM

Yep
 
Your turn. :)
