Thanks.

How did the trees shine when Melkor left Valinor?

Lindolirian 02-19-2003 03:12 PM

They grew darker.

Quote:

Then it seemed to the people of Valinor that the light of the Trees was dimmed, and the shadows of all standing things grew darker and longer in that time.
-Of the Silmarils, the Silmarillion

Beren87 02-21-2003 11:22 PM

Precisely!

Lindolirian 02-23-2003 05:14 PM

What is the Dwavish name for the place where Mîm was slain?

alaklondewen 02-23-2003 06:38 PM

That would be Nulukkizdîn.

Lindolirian 02-23-2003 07:13 PM

That it would be. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

alaklondewen 02-23-2003 07:19 PM

Thank you.

Where did the People of Haleth live?

Lindolirian 02-23-2003 07:22 PM

Brethil.

alaklondewen 02-23-2003 07:25 PM

Right! Proceed.

Lindolirian 02-25-2003 06:25 PM

Galvorn was used to make which two swords?

Pallando B.C 02-26-2003 01:56 AM

Eöl was renouned for using the meteoric iron Galvorn, and he made Anglachel and Anguirel

Lindolirian 02-26-2003 03:38 PM

Of course.

Pallando B.C 02-27-2003 04:13 AM

Name the three mariners who accompanied Eärendil on his vogages.

Annunfuiniel 02-27-2003 04:52 AM

They were Falathar, Erellont and Aerandir according to my translated Silm.

Pallando B.C 02-27-2003 04:55 AM

Yes!

Annunfuiniel 03-01-2003 02:56 AM

Oh good! I had my doubts about the spelling 'cause for example the name of Lalaith was twisted as Lailath! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

So, what is the connection between the Hunting of the Wolf and river Esgalduin?

Estanesse 03-01-2003 01:59 PM

That is the place were the hunt for Carcharoth came to an end

Annunfuiniel 03-01-2003 02:18 PM

Yes, you're right on that but I was looking for something in the line of cause and effect... Can you find it?
And btw. welcome to the Downs, Estanesse!
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse 03-01-2003 03:10 PM

Oke I will try again

The hunters were following the course of the river Esgalduin.
In a dark valley they found him drinking [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel 03-01-2003 03:20 PM

Nope, still not it! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I show no mercy to you although you're newly deceased. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Look a few lines further in your Silm...

Estanesse 03-01-2003 04:19 PM

I hope this is the correct answer

because Carcharoth the Wolf trunk drunk from the river Esgalduin his pain eased and the hunters (Thingol and company) became the hunted?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel 03-01-2003 04:32 PM

Ok, I give up on you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I was looking for that part where Huan and Carcharoth were fighting and the ground shook so that the rocks blocked the falls of Esgalduin.
But you were so close that you may continue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oke my turn I suppose

To who was the hiding place of barahir revealed?
[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Turambar 03-02-2003 08:46 AM

Sauron?

Estanesse 03-02-2003 09:42 AM

Right. Proceed

Legolas 03-17-2003 05:06 PM

To restart this thread:

Who was Fingolfin's wife?

Pallando B.C 03-17-2003 07:15 PM

Quote:

The wife of Fingolfin was Anaire. She remained on Aman mainly due to her friendship with Earwen. All her sons went with her father.
This was my answer to the question you asked me on this thread back in Nov, 2002. You must be interested in Anaire. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Legolas 03-17-2003 08:45 PM

rofl

I have a tendency to reuse questions. I'll think of a new one. She's just left out of The Silmarillion so folks have to dig a little deeper.

Name all of the sisters of Fingolfin that Tolkien went through.

[ March 17, 2003: Message edited by: Legolas ]

Pallando B.C 03-17-2003 10:12 PM

Findis, Faniel, and Írimë were the sisters, I hope!

Legolas 03-17-2003 10:24 PM

That's it! Good work.

Pallando B.C 03-18-2003 07:14 PM

Thank You.

Name the lament made by Maglor.

Beren87 03-19-2003 05:11 PM

The Noldolantë?

Pallando B.C 03-19-2003 06:22 PM

Good to see you back Beren. Your Turn.

Beren87 03-20-2003 03:08 PM

Thanks Pallando! and wow, that was a complete guess as that was the only work I knew by Maglor.

Where did Galadriel dwell with Finrod early in her stay in ME?

Ultimatejoe 03-20-2003 03:37 PM

Minas Tirith?

elven maiden Earwen 03-22-2003 11:34 PM

Doraith??
or
Hithlum??

elven maiden Earwen 03-23-2003 02:24 PM

bumpedy-bump [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C 04-02-2003 05:22 PM

With the sudden urge to ressurect old threads sweaping across people on the Downs, we start to lose really good threads such as this one. Beren's confirmation is required on this one, which is odd, because Beren is very good at keeping commitments to threads, but I think we can forgive ol' Dry Bones for this one.

Ok, a question. What was Ondolindë the original name for?

Eruanna 04-05-2003 05:18 PM

It was the original Quenya name for Gondolin.
