The River Adorn.

Incomplete.
 

All of you. :p

I want the complete definition of the bounds. The quote from Cirion and Éorl, even.

How's that?

The "N" was missing from Angrenost, but that's fine.
 

Evisse - 3
Firefoot - 2
Lindo - 2
Gil-galad - 1

9. What were the two geographical points that bounded the land King Elessar gave to the Shire?

Far Downs and Tower Hills.

And Evisse wins!
 

Evisse - 4
Firefoot - 2
Lindo - 2
Gil-galad - 1

But, a formality:

10. What was Eru's gift to Men?

Numenor maybe...but i still think it was Mortallity...

And the formality ends.
 

Gil-Galad got the last question correct, but it was not enough to propel him to victory.

Aforementioned victory--along with the thread--goes to Evisse. :)

The thoughts still here...

Many thanks, Nil. :)

Next topic is End of all hope.

And the first question is:

1. What banners were displayed at the battle in front of the Black Gate?

Rohan, Gondor, and Evenstar i beleive

That's not quite complete, plus you also have to state what each banner is like.

(geez, do I sound like a teacher or what?:( ).

Ooh, nice topic.

Gondor - black, white tree and stars
Rohan - green, white horse
Dol Amroth - blue, silver swan
Mordor - black, red eye

Very good, Firefoot!

Firefoot -1

2. What is Denethor's scornful name for Gandalf?

Grey Fool?

Correct!

Firefoot - 2

3. Name at least 2 people described as 'fey' and the circumstances.

Guessing...

Faramir, before going out to "retake" Osgiliath

Denethor, before burning himself and attempting to burn Faramir

I suspect I have one right and one wring here... I'll look later, but at least take a chance now ;)

You're right, you got one right and one wrong. Denethor is the right one. ;)
One more to go...

Aragorn was said to look "fey" by Eowyn after he talked with her before going to the Paths of the Dead.

That's correct!

I have no choice but to give both Lindo and Sophia one point each, since they gave me each half of what would make a correct answer. So,

Firefoot - 2
Sophia the Thunder Mistress -1
Lindolirian - 1

3. On what date fell the "Dawnless Day"?

March 10, 3019.

Yep!

4. What was the 'small oversight' that according to Gandalf, proved fatal?

found this on the downs by chance.
 

Sauron failed to check that Thrain had nothing of value, and allowed the map and key to be passed to Gandalf.

Yes. :)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress - 2

5. Who was the last to be swallowed by the waves in Numenor?

Tar-Miriel?

Correct of course!

Firefoot - 4
Sophia the Thunder Mistress - 2

6. "What sweet grace of fortune!" Who said so, and in what circumstances?

(Er, yes, I know this is not the Quotable Quotes forum :p ).

Firefoot, you are determined to ask questions I can't answer on my current stock of books *glances at the shelf, sees LOTR, Tolkien Reader, Return of the Shadow, and Tyler's ME Companion*. I'll have to spend the afternoon digging.

Er, I'm Evisse. :p

goodness, why so you are. :rolleyes:

Firefoot must be baffling me somewhere else... Ah, no, Firefoot is winning. Mustn't be allowed. ;)

What's the matter, are you stuck? :)

Hint: seeing as the topic of this thread is 'end of all hope', the quoter is being ironical...if not downright cynical. ;)

Utúvienyes!
 

It is Turin, about Nienor.

Yes, so you have! Well done!

7. What colour are Eowyn's eyes?

"Her eyes...
 

...grey as the sea were hard and fell, and yet tears were on her cheek."

-From the Battle of the Pelennor Fields

Sophia

Correct!

8. His only hope in his despair was his worst enemy. Who's he?

Sauron? His only hope could be that Frodo didn't destroy the Ring, so that might make Frodo his worst enemy...

Maybe a bit far-fetched, but hey.

Gandalf?
 

After he and the Balrog fell from the bridge of Khazad-dûm?

Melkor, when he asked for the aid of Ungoliant to destroy the Trees? But then again, she wasn't exactly his worst enemy, but he was afraid of her, and at one point, nearly succeeded in killing him.

Nilp has it!

9. How many days did it take Eorl and his men to arrive to the Field of Celebrant to Cirion's aid?

From the time they left (6th of Víressë) to the time they arrived (15th of Víressë) would be 9 days.

Yeah!

10. How many survived from the company that held the bridge in Osgiliath in June 3018?
