Why, thank you. :cool:

Name the Men that were alowed to enter Gondolin.

Valier 07-28-2006 11:12 AM

Húrin and Huor?

Macalaure 07-28-2006 11:31 AM

...and Tuor.

Dimturiel 07-29-2006 02:11 AM

Well, you're both right. So the first of you that gets here can ask the next question.

Macalaure 08-02-2006 09:06 AM

Alright, if Valier doesn't want to, I will.

Odd sword out:

Anguirel
Glamdring
Gurthang
Orcrist

Macalaure 08-23-2006 07:58 AM

*bump*
 
Nobody? Not one guess? :(
I won't give a hint unless I get a guess, no matter how wild.

Rune Son of Bjarne 08-23-2006 09:37 AM

Gurthang was the only sword wich was never in Gondolin

Macalaure 08-23-2006 09:45 AM

Correct, of course.

Go ahead!

Rune Son of Bjarne 08-23-2006 10:32 AM

and to think that I was about to say that it was because Gurthang was the only one reforged. . . . good thing I changed my mind.

Wich grave is said to have survived the destruction of Beleriand.

(The grave was in Beleriand of course)

I know it kind of goes into the second age and are not realy a good question, but my mind does not work to day.

Lindolirian 08-23-2006 11:22 AM

Morwen's grave.

Rune Son of Bjarne 08-23-2006 11:29 AM

yup

Good to see you again Lindolirian

Lindolirian 08-23-2006 11:36 AM

Fun times as always...
 
Right-o then, Rune!

What was the Cum nan Arasaith?

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-15-2006 03:02 AM

The Mound of Avarice, if memory serves.

Lindolirian 11-16-2006 10:46 AM

Fine job, hit us with another.

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-16-2006 05:04 PM

What is the oldest heirlom of Men?

Tarpaladin 11-19-2006 11:25 AM

The sceptre of the northen kingdom of Arnor, formerly the sceptre of the Lords of Anadunie of Numenore.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-19-2006 01:34 PM

I would think that it was The Ring of Barahir

Macalaure 11-19-2006 01:57 PM

Either that or the Dragonhelm of Dor-lómin, I think.

Gil-Galad 11-19-2006 08:07 PM

Didn't Beor have a staff or something...

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-19-2006 10:52 PM

Rune Son of Bjarne has it right - it was the Ring of Barahir.

Your thread :D

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-20-2006 05:32 AM

Thanks for the thread. . .

Who met his ending at the Caragdûr ?

(Not the best of questions)

Valier 11-20-2006 08:17 AM

Was it Eol?

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-20-2006 08:38 AM

yup. . .take it away thou kitten one

Valier 11-20-2006 04:54 PM

I don't know of any exact date. is it then midsummer F.A. 472, But on the other hand I also have the Spring 471 F.A. But agian no exact day for it. :confused:

Valier 11-21-2006 10:57 AM

What day of the battle did it begin is what I am looking for.

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-21-2006 09:40 PM

in the spring of 471 First Age, on Midsummer's Day, I do believe.

Valier 11-22-2006 11:12 AM

I am looking for a specific day.......How many days of battle went by before this day?

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-22-2006 01:55 PM

Oh, I think I see what you're asking. It was the fourth day of the war that the Nirnaeth officially began - before I thought you just wanted the start of the war in general.

Valier 11-22-2006 05:31 PM

Your correct!!! It was the fourth day. The thread is yours Celebriel. :D

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-22-2006 10:23 PM

All right :D

edit - i just realized my question was very close to a previous one I had not seen.

New question :

Who was called the Club-foot?

Dimturiel 11-23-2006 12:40 PM

He was Sador, Hurin's servant and Turin's friend.

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-23-2006 07:19 PM

Not quite the one I am looking for, however he is connected to Turin.

Thinlómien 11-24-2006 04:12 AM

Brandir then, by any chance?

Tarpaladin 11-24-2006 10:46 AM

Your thread :D


The question was for the oldest heirloom of Men, wasn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Ring of Barahir was forged by an Elven craftsman, not a Man. It was then given to Beren by Finrod Felagund I think, to pass down all the generations before arriving with Aragorn. Been a while since I read The Silmarillion, but I think that's correct.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-24-2006 11:51 AM

yes it was made by elves, but never an elven heirloom. It was given to men and became an heirloom in their house.

I am quite sure that the definition "heirloom of men" fits the Ring of Barahir.

Tarpaladin 11-24-2006 01:04 PM

I'll wind my neck in then. :D

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-26-2006 11:41 PM

Very good point, Tarpaladin, I thought the same way until recently when I discovered otherwise on another forum :)

Anyways, Thinlomien now has the thread -the answer I sought was indeed Brandir.

Sorry for the delay! I went home for the weekend and didn't have any internet access.

Thinlómien 11-27-2006 02:35 AM

Which son(s) of Fëanor died first?

Celebriel Esgaledhel 11-27-2006 06:33 PM

this is just off the top of my head, but was it Celegorm? Either him or the twins, methinks. It's been several years since I last read the Sil, so my memory's hazy at best when I don't take the time to look something up.
