It was indeed, Melian singing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-28-2003 02:29 PM

How splendid [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Name the two main strokes used in Feanor's letters.

Annunfuiniel 04-28-2003 02:34 PM

Telco and lúva?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-28-2003 02:44 PM

Absolutely

alquadae 06-01-2003 10:18 AM

Knock knock

Annunfuiniel 06-01-2003 12:02 PM

Who's there? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Ok, sorry about the delay and thanks, Beren, for the reminder.

Name the brothers of the 'Hidden Hero'.

alquadae 06-05-2003 04:51 PM

Fingorn,Aredhel ?

Annunfuiniel 06-09-2003 02:31 PM

Nope. Other guesses? This is a plain straightforward question.

Eruanna 06-09-2003 03:11 PM

I'm not sure about the "Hidden Hero". I do know that Elwe (Thingol) was the "Hidden king" and his brothrs were Olwe and Elmo.

Finwe 06-11-2003 10:41 AM

Hmmm...Hidden Hero.
A Hint would be nice. Could you tell us what race he belonged to?

Annunfuiniel 06-11-2003 11:25 AM

This is an Elvish trivia so the race concerned is Elves.

I did some searching and now I must confess that my question may not be quite accurate: 'Hidden Hero' was given as a meaning (interpretation) for one elvish name in the Encyclopedia of Arda but now it seems that it might be a misinterpretation...

Dig up your Quenya lexicons! The word 'hidden' is a correct translation. The entire name would be perhaps 'Hidden desire'[?] but if you find the first word the name should be easy to guess...and then finding the brothers' names will be no challenge.

So sorry about the mix-up! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Can't blame anyone else but myself: tsk tsk for being too lazy to devise a decent question.

Arwen Imladris 06-13-2003 02:23 PM

Rúmil and Orophin? Haldir's brothers?

Orofaniel 06-17-2003 11:19 AM

I think Arwen Imladris is right.

halda- means hidden
írë- means desire

so it must be his brothers, Rúmil and Orophin.

Arwen Imladris 06-17-2003 01:46 PM

Hmmm. How about Multiple choice for a change? Well, that is what I am going to do.

Which one is NOT a division of elves?

a)Dark Elves
b)Calaquendi
c)Deep Elves
d)Grey-elves
e)Blue-elves
f)Golug

Eruanna 06-17-2003 01:51 PM

I think it is E...the Blue Elves.

Arwen Imladris 06-17-2003 02:21 PM

Yup, that was too easy wasn't it? I was trying to throw you with Blue elves because there are blue wizards, also with Golug, because it doesn't sound elvish, that is because it is the Orcish name for the Noldor. Your turn!

Eruanna 06-17-2003 05:22 PM

I wasn't sure what Golug meant...but I knew that there weren't any "Blue Elves" [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's another easy (but only if you know the answer) question:

Who was described as being "As kind as Summer.."?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 06-17-2003 06:43 PM

Hunch says, Elrond?

Eruanna 06-17-2003 07:18 PM

I wish my hunches were as reliable as yours Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*bump* your turn Sophia.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 06-25-2003 07:14 AM

Thank you, Beren, Saucepan, and everyone else who has gently nudged me toward my neglected threads in the last few days.

How many of the Eldar (*coughnottheperedhilcough*) chose mortality?

Sophia

Finwe 06-25-2003 09:44 AM

None? Luthien was the only "full Elf" that chose mortality, and she probably fits the category of Avari.

Arwen Imladris 06-25-2003 12:02 PM

If Finwe is wrong (ya right!)then how about 3?

Elros
Arwen
Lúthien Tinúviel

Or maybe you are also counting Elrohir & Elladan?

The Saucepan Man 06-25-2003 08:44 PM

Welcome to the Downs, Meneltarmacil [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And welcome also to the Quiz Room.

Before posting here, it is worth reading the Quiz Room rules. You must answer a question correctly and have your answer confirmed as correct before you are able to ask a question.

Have a browse through the threads and try answering some of the questions. If you are right, you will then be able to ask the next one, although make sure that it is consistent with the theme of the thread.

And please have fun with the quizzes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 06-25-2003 08:50 PM

Actually, Luthien is the answer I'm looking for, as Elros and Arwen are both considered half-elven. Luthien is of the Sindar, a branch of the Teleri who are Eldarin. So yes, Finwe, she's the answer, but she's not of the Avari.

Your go.

Sophia

Finwe 06-26-2003 09:05 PM

Ah! Excellent! (BTW, sorry about the Avari thing!)

His name was changed by his father, who tried to change his fate. It didn't work, and he burned in his father's fire.

Lasgalen 06-27-2003 04:10 AM

Sounds like you are talking about one of the twins. Ambarto/Umbarto

Finwe 06-27-2003 08:24 AM

Yup, you're right!

Lasgalen 06-27-2003 03:05 PM

What name did Aredhel give to Maeglin?

Eruanna 06-27-2003 03:13 PM

She called him Lomion, which means "Child of the Twilight".

Lasgalen 06-30-2003 12:42 AM

Yes. Correct.

Eruanna 06-30-2003 12:23 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What was the name of the Grey Elf who was foster-father to Tuor?

Beren87 06-30-2003 02:19 PM

Annael, as Huor had died at Nirnaeth Arnoediad and Rian had died of grief.

Eruanna 06-30-2003 04:19 PM

Correct, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orofaniel 07-06-2003 11:19 AM

Quote:

Correct, Beren.
It means it's your turn, Beren...hehe [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 07-06-2003 01:59 PM

Consciousness is not my strongpoint.


Who originally let the Teleri?

Lyra Greenleaf 07-06-2003 04:09 PM

If you mean "led" then Elwe and Olwe. Otherwise... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Beren87 07-06-2003 04:14 PM

Woops, I did mean "led". You're correct.

Lyra Greenleaf 07-08-2003 11:57 AM

What is the Elvish name for the "Pillar of Heaven"?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 07-08-2003 12:16 PM

Meneltarma?
