*Horrified gasp [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]*

Anyway, is it Aldor?

Finwe 01-23-2004 06:46 PM

Yes indeed. Your go.

NightKnight 01-24-2004 05:34 AM

Thank you.

Who led the army that was sent out after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, to destroy the army that tried to block rohirrims way?

Elrond of Rivendell 01-24-2004 06:37 AM

Elfhelm led the main strength of the Rohirrim against the enemy that was in Anorien?

EfR

NightKnight 01-24-2004 02:47 PM

Yeah, he did. Next question, please.

Gil-Galad 02-04-2004 05:16 PM

An easy one... Who worked on Meduseld (started and completed)

Arvedui III 02-06-2004 05:46 PM

That would be Brego, son of Eorl.

Gil-Galad 02-07-2004 09:57 AM

I'll except that, i was looking for Eorl started it and Brego completed it, your go!

Arvedui III 02-13-2004 10:18 PM

Ok then. Herm...here's an easy one: Which Rohirrim has a tie to the house of Hurin?

NightKnight 02-14-2004 05:46 AM

Helm's son Haleth?

Arvedui III 02-14-2004 06:35 PM

Good guess, but no.

Erebeth 02-14-2004 07:55 PM

Hmmm...Fram, because he slew a dragon?

Arvedui III 02-14-2004 07:59 PM

Sorry, no. Hint: I'm asking about the House of Hurin, not Hurin Thalion's line.

Erebeth 02-14-2004 08:10 PM

Thengel, then, because of his wife Morwen of Lossarnach, one of the second House of Hurin, that of the Stewards.

Arvedui III 02-14-2004 08:16 PM

I was thinking of Eowyn, but Thengel works nicely too. Well done, and welcome to the Downs. :)

Erebeth 02-15-2004 10:37 AM

Thanks for the welcome! I do have a tendency to overthink things...

Who was the mother of Galador?

Finwe 02-15-2004 10:56 AM

Mithrellas

Erebeth 02-16-2004 08:42 AM

Correct, of course. Your go.

Finwe 02-16-2004 08:55 AM

All right...


I killed a mighty foe, but killed over that foe's teeth.

Lindolirian 02-16-2004 10:23 AM

Fram who killed scath the Worm, but was killed by the Dwarves because of his insult in sending them Scatha's teeth when they demanded for their share of the treasure.

Finwe 02-16-2004 01:17 PM

Yup.


These guys never learn, do they? First Thingol and now Fram. *sighs*

Lindolirian 02-17-2004 03:41 PM

What office did Elfwine's grandfather hold in the Riddermark?

Arvedui III 02-17-2004 05:52 PM

Herm, Elfwine's grandfather would be Eomund, who was a marshal of the Mark.

Lindolirian 02-17-2004 06:00 PM

Aye, that be it.

Arvedui III 02-19-2004 09:04 PM

Thankya. Herm... Name three times that the Rohirrim came to the aid of Gondor.

Lindolirian 02-20-2004 02:50 PM

  • When Marwhini assisted Calimehtar in ousting the Wainriders
  • The Ride of Eorl
  • The Battle of Pelennor Fields

luthien-elvenprincess 02-20-2004 05:35 PM

In 2510 at the Field of Celebrant

When the Haradrim assailed Gondor in about 2885

On the Fields of Pelennor in 3019

Arvedui III 02-20-2004 05:38 PM

Very good examples, all. However, Lindolirian got there first. Your go. :)

Lindolirian 02-23-2004 06:51 PM

How was Tarostar slain, and who aveneged his death?

luthien-elvenprincess 02-23-2004 07:37 PM

Tarostar (Romendacil I) was the eighth King of Gondor, son of Ostoher. He died in battle with Easterlings.

NightKnight 02-24-2004 04:35 AM

Luthien, you forgot something. He was avenged by his son Turambar.

Lindolirian 02-24-2004 03:41 PM

Well you are both partially correct, but I will give it too luthien since she had it first.

luthien-elvenprincess 02-24-2004 05:54 PM

Ahhhh, so I did! Thank you. Now, my turn.

Who overthrew the Captain of the Haven?

Gil-Galad 02-24-2004 06:58 PM

Thorongil, or aragorn as they say, but he more arnorin

luthien-elvenprincess 02-24-2004 09:29 PM

Yeppers, Gil-Galad. That was fast...did I make it too easy or are you incredibly smart?;) :p
Your turn.

Gil-Galad 02-25-2004 04:36 PM

symestreem 02-25-2004 06:50 PM

Voronwe, Dior, Denethor, Ecthelion, Turgon, Ecthelion (again... but no numeral, hmm) Denethor again. Incidentally, there was a Steward, Thorondir, who appears to have taken his name after the King of the Eagles.

Gil-Galad 02-25-2004 10:34 PM

the lord of the eagles was Thorondor, with an o, but none hte less your go symestream

Arvedui III 02-28-2004 02:18 PM

*Bump*

symestreem 02-29-2004 12:46 PM

Who was Earnur's paternal grandfather? Give a five-minute presentation on his hobbies. ;)
For brownie points, translate the grandfather's name.
