Hewn from the beechwoods of Nimbrethil

Yes indeed

In a dream Ulmo spoke to two elves and bade them build hidden fortresses.

Who were they, what did they build?

Turgon and Finrod.
Turgon was to build Gondolin and Finrod Nargothrond. Each was later destroyed by the treachery of Morgoth.

Exactly!

Have you a question?

Ok here's one.
Q:Who was the main contributer to the capture of Turin ( which eventually lead on to Beleg's death )

Mim, I think

Correct- now give me one.

What names were given to the slayer of Glaurung? There are 10!

1. Turin
2. Turambar ("Master of Doom")
3. Adanedhel ("Elf Man")
4. Agarwaen ("Bloodstained")
5. Gorthol ("Dread Helm")
6. Neithan ("Wronged")
7. Mormegil ("Black Sword")
8. Wildman of the Woods
9. ?
10. ?

Dagnir Glaurunga which means Glaurung's Bane could be added to that.

Ok this one is easy.
Q: Who was the first person recorded to have made lembas?

I would say Melian?

Correct as usual Telchar

Vinyamar was build near what mountain?

I would say Mount Taras.

What Vala was the main contributer to the construction of Gondolin?

Would that be Ulmo?

Pallando, you have to answer Telchar's question before you can ask.

Lol, what a mess... Turoch, go ahead. Pallando, please in future, remember that to ask, you must first answer and recieve confirmation of answer. It isn't a free-for-all. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

However, if you want to ask your question without first answering (patience...!) you can start your own thread. Click on New Topic to do this.

Welcome though, all three of you.

Okay. Lets see here.....oh i've got a good one. Which one of the Valar was first to know about the Quendi (the first elves)?

Sorry, i am new to the downs and am still adjusting. I thought since it was already answered by Turoch that the question was answered. Anyway the answer is Mount Taras. ( i knew that anyway )

Ok, im well aware of the rules and im sorry if i made a mess, anyway was the Vala Orome?

(smiles encouragingly at Pallando) Reminds me of my first few posts here, actually

Your close Pallando, Orome was the Second Vala to have knowledge of the Quendi's exsitencec. Who has the first.

Well now that you say that, I know that you're thinking of Melkor, but technically he wasn't a Vala anymore, or at least I don't think. Anyways, its Melkor.

You got it Lindolirian sorry if it was a bit confusing.

Who is Mahal?

The name among Dwarves for the Vala Aulë.

Once again, you are correct.

Who was led by the swans' flight?

Tuor.

Seven feathers for you! Continue, please.

Yahoo! Who took the Necklace of the Dwarves from the halls of Nulukkizdin?

Was that Húrin, who took it from Glaurung and gave it to Thingol?

Well since I only asked who, I'll give it to ya, but Glaurung was already dead when he took it, yeah, sorta..

I should have been more specific - he took it from Glaurung's Hoard. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What was the Noontide of the Blesséd Realm?

the 2sd age of the chaining of Melkor?

Mea culpa! This was a prior to the First Age question.

Telchar was correct - It was 2nd Age in the Ages of The Trees, and referred to the chaining of Melkor.

Go ahead, Telchar - bring us back to the 1st Age.

Hmm this thread appears to be falling back into the mists of history. I hope Telchar forgives me for bursting in on his turn, but i'd like to see this thread have some more action. Okay here's a question for anyone who wants it. What king was called "he who looks afar".
