'Tis indeed!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 07-22-2003 01:13 PM

What part of nature do the elves not ask for news?

alquadae 07-22-2003 04:23 PM

Shooting from the hip// The north wind

Finwe 07-22-2003 05:21 PM

Is it the East Wind?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 07-23-2003 06:46 PM

It is the East Wind... Legolas mentions it to Gimli at Boromir's funeral.

Carry on Finwe.

Finwe 07-24-2003 12:35 PM

All righty then. I suppose it had something to do with the East Wind blowing from Mordor.

Who was the Elf who was named partly after his weapon?

Lyta_Underhill 07-24-2003 12:40 PM

Was it Beleg Cuthalion (Strongbow)?

Finwe 07-24-2003 12:42 PM

Yup!

Lyta_Underhill 07-24-2003 12:48 PM

Thanks, Finwë!

Who is the only elf to ask Galadriel for a tress of her hair? (That I know of!)

Finwe 07-24-2003 12:52 PM

Our good ol' Fe-Fe (Fëanor to all you stuffy people without a sense of humor [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

Lyta_Underhill 07-24-2003 12:55 PM

Fe-Fe? Heh heh! Right right! And she refused him, too! [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

Finwe 07-30-2003 03:52 PM

What scion of a disposessed House fell in love with the same woman his grandfather did? (According to some stories)

Eruanna 07-31-2003 06:04 PM

Would that be Celebrimbor?
It is suggested in some tales that he loved Galadriel (he made Nenya for her) but she chose Celeborn instead. Celebrimbor's Grandfather, Feanor was also said to be "a bit partial" to Galadriel, he made the Silmarils in tribute to her beautiful hair. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finwe 08-04-2003 08:43 AM

Yep. Quite right!

Eruanna 08-10-2003 10:22 AM

Which Elf composed the account of the Creation, and what was this account called?

Lasgalen 08-14-2003 02:33 AM

Rumil composed Ainulindale

Eruanna 08-15-2003 06:59 AM

Correct, your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lasgalen 08-17-2003 03:48 AM

What was the name of Tuor's ship?

Eruanna 08-17-2003 07:03 AM

Tuor's ship was called Eärrámë (Sea-Wing)

Lasgalen 08-17-2003 01:45 PM

That is correct.

Eruanna 08-18-2003 01:54 PM

What name did Feanor give to the substance from which he made the Silmarilli?

The Saucepan Man 08-18-2003 06:49 PM

Silima, a mysterious crystalline substance which he created himself.

Seems that he fancied himself as a bit of an alchemist, along with his many other talents. Perhaps that's why he became Arda's only exploding Elf. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruanna 08-19-2003 08:10 AM

What a claim to fame!

I won't be able to think of him as anything other than "The Amazing Exploding Elf", from now on [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And you are correct, by the way, Saucy. Please pose another question.

The Saucepan Man 08-19-2003 02:23 PM

Thank you Eruanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What was the chief object of Sauron's assault on Eregion? (I'm looking for the name of a building.)

The Saucepan Man 08-25-2003 05:34 PM

Surely it can't be that hard. A building in Eregion?

Finwe 08-25-2003 08:17 PM

The chief treasury of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain, in which the Rings of Power and all other things dear to the Mirdain were kept. I'm not sure if the building had a name or anything.

The Saucepan Man 08-25-2003 09:47 PM

The House of the Mirdain it was, Finwe. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Please continue.
