elven maiden Earwen 03-16-2003 03:31 PM

can we have a hint????

Elfhelm 03-23-2003 10:09 AM

Nobody has it yet. Think of what the fellowship talked about at these places. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen 03-23-2003 11:14 AM

Minas Tirth was the only one were Frodo&Sam didnt go durring the war of the ring or

gralin musicteeth 03-23-2003 12:06 PM

Woodhall is the only place the entire fellowship didn't go (where is the Morannnon)?

elven maiden Earwen 03-23-2003 12:07 PM

the Morranon is the black gate

lathspell 03-23-2003 04:19 PM

I'm not sure if either of these two is correct, but I'll give it a try:

Woodhall, because all the others were deserted by 'normal' (in which case I don't mean the Crebain of Saruman and such) animals.

OR

Hollin was the only place deserted by both men and animal.

Lyra Greenleaf 03-29-2003 12:17 PM

i thought Hollin didn't even exist anymore at the time of the quest!
by the way, Elfhelm have you forgotten this thread?

mordor136 03-29-2003 11:35 PM

I always thought that hollin though deserted
at the time of the quest was still called hollin so it still existed

Lyra Greenleaf 03-30-2003 10:53 AM

Oh right. I didn't know that, thanks Mordor!

Arwen Imladris 03-31-2003 09:10 PM

The Morannon, (because it is the only one I didn't remember what it was?)

Gil-Galad 04-08-2003 05:16 PM

should i start another oen or what?

Gil-Galad 04-11-2003 08:27 PM

i guess i will start a new one

1. Imaldris
2. Lothlorien
3. Greenwood/Mirkwood
4. Mithlond
5. Ithilien (FA)


hint: think of the keepers of these places

lathspell 04-12-2003 06:34 PM

i don't know this for sure, but a few things coming up.

Mithlond was the only one which had no Elves as inhabitants.
OR
Mirkwood was the only place with Avari.

greetings,
lathspell

elven maiden Earwen 04-12-2003 06:41 PM

Ithilien (FA) was the only one ruled by men.

Gil-Galad 04-14-2003 05:07 PM

nope sorry and i meant fa as Fourth age!

elven maiden Earwen 04-14-2003 06:22 PM

5. Ithilien (FA) becasue a hobbits never been there.

Eruanna 04-14-2003 06:30 PM

Is it to do with age?
Imladris (Elrond), Lothlorien (Galadriel), Greenwood (Thranduil), Mithlond (Cirdan) were all founded and inhabited by Elves throughout the first to third ages. Ithilien was taken over by Legolas and some of the Greenwood/Mirkwood Elves in the fourth age. Legolas was much younger than the other rulers.

Gil-Galad 04-15-2003 04:01 PM

nope

The Saucepan Man 04-15-2003 04:31 PM

1. Imaldris
2. Lothlorien
3. Greenwood/Mirkwood
4. Mithlond
5. Ithilien (FA)

Imladris is the only one that's spelled wrong. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well, of the "keepers" of these places, Galadriel was the only one to have lived in the Undying Lands prior to the War of the Ring. Elrond, Thranduil, Cirdan and Legolas never stepped foot in Valinor until after the final defeat of Sauron (assuming Thranduil did eventually pass to the West - presumably he did to be with his father and son).

So, I'll say Lothlorien.

Eruanna 04-16-2003 07:24 AM

Or you could say that Greenwood/Mirkwood is the odd one out, because its "keeper", Thranduil, is the only one that we don't know for sure went to the West. The others definitely went. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 04-16-2003 04:12 PM

Eruanna is clsoe need a hint?

Gil-Galad 04-17-2003 01:10 PM

Hint: Eruanna is clsoe with the keepers but it matters what the keepers had to do with royality! (trust me its not Cirdan)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-17-2003 01:28 PM

hmm... it's a weird link, but I'll try it...

Lothlorien's "ruler" (Galadriel) is the daughter of a king (Finarfin)

Ithilien's elven leader (Legolas) is the son of a king (Tharanduil)

Mirkwood's ruler (Tharanduil) is a king

Imladris' ruler (Elrond) was descended from a king (Dior/Turgon) and also served a king (Gil-Galad)

And Mithlond's ruler (Cirdan) was related to a king (Thingol)

So, I will hazard to guess Elrond because his closest connection to royalty is more than one generation back?

Sophia

Gil-Galad 04-18-2003 07:49 AM

Sophia yo uare SO close but its not Elrond either( you are on the right track with the kings but think of what they had to do with other kings!)

elven maiden Earwen 04-18-2003 07:53 AM

Mirkwood's ruler (Tharanduil) isnt related to any kings or none of his fathers or grandparents, ect are kings

Gil-Galad 04-21-2003 03:47 PM

Earwen i think you got it right since it is closest to my anwser

Thranduil becasue the others played a major part with other kings
(Eg: Celeborn-Kinsman of Thingol, Legolas-friend of Aragorn) so Earwen you get to go and good job

elven maiden Earwen 04-21-2003 06:49 PM

Mirkwood
Rivendel
Lothlorien
Valinor

Lindolirian 04-21-2003 08:16 PM

No evil has ever entered Rivendell.

Gil-Galad 04-22-2003 01:59 PM

there is no record of Gandalf entering Mirkwood

lathspell 04-24-2003 12:09 PM

In all of them lived Calaquendi except in Mirkwood

Estanesse 04-24-2003 01:14 PM

Because the question who is Calaquendi and who not is a bit of a contradiction (in my opinion [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ) I will try my luck with in all those places lived people of Noldorian blood except in Mirkwood.

Dûrlossiel 04-25-2003 12:13 AM

I'll guess Valinor.

Gil-Galad 04-27-2003 09:20 AM

since your new i'll be nice to you for now, you must give a description of why your answer is different then the others

elven maiden Earwen 04-27-2003 09:30 AM

No,no,no,no,no sorry totally forgot about this thread.
But i think Estanesse was closest.

Estanesse 04-28-2003 09:02 AM

Rivendell
Mirkwood
Grey havens
Eregion

I’m curious what was the correct answer Elven maiden Earwen

[ April 28, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

elven maiden Earwen 04-28-2003 05:05 PM

Valinor wasn't ruled by an elf. I didnt count Dûrlossiel because it didnt give me a reason.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-29-2003 01:02 PM

So who takes the next turn then? Earwen?

Estanesse 04-29-2003 03:58 PM

I have
Don’t ask me why, but I’m very happy with it [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

tom bombariffic 04-30-2003 09:31 AM

is it eregion because it is the only one where bilbo baggins didnt go?

or otherwise possibly eregion because, while the elves of eregion helped to make the rings of power, the rings didnt go there, and a ring of power went to all the others. although thats a guess.

Estanesse 04-30-2003 12:10 PM

Yes it is eregion and yes because it was the only place Bilbo baggins never went to.
