What was the name of Eomer's sword, and what sword did he draw it with?

Son of Númenor 05-18-2004 02:10 PM

Gúthwinë & Andúril?

symestreem 05-18-2004 02:12 PM

You have it, and also probably the record for fastest answer!

Son of Númenor 05-18-2004 02:17 PM

Hehe. Let's see if you can break that record. ;)

Here's the question:
Who was lord of the valley of Harrowdale circa the War of the Ring?

symestreem 05-18-2004 02:20 PM

Theoden was lord of Harrowdale and all Rohan.

Gil-Galad 05-18-2004 04:38 PM

FYI, fastest reply was a tie, me and perky and beren with somebody else, it was awhile ago

Son of Númenor 05-18-2004 08:01 PM

Thanks for the info, Gil-Galad.

Symestreem, that's not the answer I was looking for; there was someone who was actually referred to as the 'lord of Harrowdale'; rather like Macbeth's title Thane of Cawdor to Duncan's title of King.

Dunhere.

Son of Númenor 05-19-2004 01:02 PM

Thou art wise in the pursuit of trivia, Master Knight. Your go.

NightKnight 05-20-2004 07:46 AM

Thank you, Child of Atalante.

What was the name of the man that advised Eomer to turn back to Edoras?

Firefoot 05-20-2004 01:40 PM

Ceorl.

NightKnight 05-22-2004 09:21 AM

Yes.

BTW, congrats on 1000 posts. :)

Firefoot 05-22-2004 03:53 PM

Thanks. :)

Firefoot 05-22-2004 04:09 PM

luthien-elvenprincess 05-22-2004 04:11 PM

What color of hair did Eorl the Young have? :)

Firefoot 05-22-2004 04:23 PM

I believe it was golden.

luthien-elvenprincess 05-22-2004 04:25 PM

yes, it was, yellow to be exact. Your turn

Firefoot 05-22-2004 04:26 PM

How did Theodred die?

luthien-elvenprincess 05-22-2004 04:35 PM

He fell in battle at the Fords of Isen (fighting Saurman's army)

Firefoot 05-22-2004 04:36 PM

Right-o.

luthien-elvenprincess 05-22-2004 04:39 PM

Why is Theoden also called Theoden Ednew?

Firefoot 05-22-2004 04:43 PM

Because
Quote:

he fell into a decline under the spells of Saruman, but was healed by Gandalf, and in the last year of his lifearose and led his men to victory at the Hornburg, and soon after to the Fields of Pelennor, the greatest battle of the Age.

luthien-elvenprincess 05-22-2004 05:00 PM

Correct!

Firefoot 05-22-2004 05:14 PM

How was king Walda slain?

Fingolfin II 05-22-2004 08:55 PM

He was killed on the way from Dunharrow by some Orcs, along with the rest of his company.

Firefoot 05-23-2004 12:25 PM

Yes.

Fingolfin II 05-24-2004 12:56 AM

Which King of Rohan reigned the second longest as King?

Firefoot 05-24-2004 04:40 AM

Éomer.

Fingolfin II 05-25-2004 12:30 AM

Eomer it is.

Firefoot 05-26-2004 02:36 PM

What color were Arod and Hasufel?

Lindir 05-26-2004 03:38 PM

white.

Sirithheruwen 05-26-2004 04:35 PM

Brown?

symestreem 05-26-2004 06:25 PM

Hasufel was grey. I can't find Arod's color, but an earlier passage seems to indicate that all the horses of the Rohirrim were grey.

Firefoot 05-26-2004 07:27 PM

Symestreem has it. Both were gray, and the passage is just before Aragorn etc meet Éomer.

symestreem 05-27-2004 11:21 AM

Erm, yeah. *drips everywhere*.

What was the stone in the crown of Rohan?

NightKnight 05-28-2004 04:06 AM

A diamond?

symestreem 05-29-2004 08:23 AM

Correct, Sir Knight. :)

NightKnight 05-30-2004 04:54 AM

Thank you. :)

Why did Freca come to Edoras?

Firefoot 05-30-2004 05:02 AM

He wanted Helm's daughter to marry his son Wulf.
