Causer of the bane of the king of the horse


Gil-Galad

Evisse the Blue 09-11-2003 04:22 PM

the Witch King?

Gil-Galad 09-12-2003 07:00 PM

sure why not...

Gil-Galad 09-16-2003 03:43 PM

Evisse?

Evisse the Blue 09-17-2003 03:44 AM

Sorry, I forgot about this.
1st hint:
My breath is death

alquadae 09-17-2003 04:14 AM

Glaurunga

Arestevana 09-17-2003 02:15 PM

Or Smaug?

Beren87 09-17-2003 02:35 PM

Or, metaphorically, the Nazgul.

Tinuviel Took 09-17-2003 03:18 PM

Why metaphoricly? Exposed to a lot of black breath you will die unless tended by the most skilled of healers.

Evisse the Blue 09-17-2003 03:19 PM

Arestevana has it - it was Smaug.

Arestevana 09-17-2003 03:31 PM

Okay. This one will probably be to easy.
1) I slew the Valiant.

Gil-Galad 09-17-2003 03:39 PM

Gothmog who killed Fingon the "Valiant"

Arestevana 09-19-2003 05:55 AM

Yeah. Wow, that lasted a whole eight minutes. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 09-19-2003 04:41 PM

breaker of the strong
yet men doubted the repair
underneath they came, down to earth it went before the under came

Finwe 09-20-2003 05:38 PM

Balrogs?

Gil-Galad 09-21-2003 11:23 AM

Gil-Galad 09-22-2003 04:41 PM

anyone? after 2-3 more guesses i'l lgive a hint

Finwe 09-22-2003 07:00 PM

The Nazgul?

Beren87 09-22-2003 07:29 PM

Just to clear up a matter from above

Quote:

The "breath" wasn't literal, it was simply a term for their influence, not their actual breath.

Estanesse 09-23-2003 05:15 AM

Is it Glaurung

He was the main reason that the siege of Angband broke ( Dagor Bragollach)
The noldor doubted they could ever win
Glaurung came from Angband

Gil-Galad 09-23-2003 10:54 AM

Hint: time of great peril where no one will show

Gil-Galad 09-26-2003 04:34 PM

hello? anyone gonna anwser my trvia question? kinda crpytic but its still kinda easy

Hint: GATES!!!!

The Saucepan Man 09-26-2003 05:32 PM

Is it Grond, the battering-ram used to break down the Gate of Minas Tirith?

Gil-Galad 09-27-2003 11:40 AM

can you explain why? remember for most trivias you haev to explain!

[ September 27, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

The Saucepan Man 09-28-2003 05:11 PM

Yes, thank you Gil-Galad for reminding me of the rules. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Quote:

can you explain why?
No. Not really. I just got it from the clues "breaker of the strong" and "Gates". Grond broke the strong gate of Minas Tirith.

If indeed Grond is the answer and anyone can provide a better explanation, I am happy to concede the thread to them. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 09-29-2003 04:14 PM

who fixed the gates and where did they coem from!

The Saucepan Man 09-29-2003 04:44 PM

Wasn't it the Dwarves of Gimli's realm at Aglarond? And I think that the new Gate was made of mithril.

Gil-Galad 09-30-2003 05:06 PM

well thast close enough so it is yoru turn to go

The Saucepan Man 09-30-2003 06:11 PM

And just which part was not spot on? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The next question:

Who fought under a black serpent in a scarlet sky?

Niluial 10-01-2003 02:21 AM

Does the black serpent have a name? Or is it just called the Black Serpent?

Was it Fram, son of Frumgar (ok its probably wrong seeing that he slaughtered Scatha the Worm… a dragon lol)

Telchar 10-01-2003 05:12 AM

The Haradrim

The Saucepan Man 10-01-2003 06:33 AM

Telchar, I believe that I am entitled to request an explanation after being given such a hard time by Gil-Galad about it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Telchar 10-01-2003 07:27 AM

From Chapter 61, The Battle of the Pelennor Fields

Quote:

Southward beyond the road lay the main force of the Haradrim, and there their horsemen were gathered about the standard of their chieftain. And he looked out, and in the growing light he saw the banner of the king, and that it was far ahead of the battle with few men about it. Then he was filled with a red wrath and shouted aloud, and displaying his standard, black serpent upon scarlet, he came against the white horse and the green with great press of men; and the drawing of the scimitars of the Southrons was like a glitter of stars.
Good enough 4 U ??? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 10-01-2003 07:46 AM

I honestly thought it was one of the Rohirrim, like Eomer or Eowyn or Theoden when he was strcuk down by Er-Murazor

The Saucepan Man 10-01-2003 11:08 AM

Quote:

Good enough 4 U ???
It surely is. Please proceed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Telchar 10-01-2003 04:00 PM

Thanks. Okay this must be my favorite bad guy question, it has been asked before, long ago, but Im going to ask it again [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

After taking Ost-in-Edhil and destroying the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, Sauron continued his conquest of Eregion, but under which banner?

Finwe 10-01-2003 09:01 PM

He used the body of Celebrimbor, shot full of Orc arrows and strung up on a pole, as his banner.


*shudders and runs off to vomit convulsively*


No one should do that to an Elf! Especially a Fëanorion!

Telchar 10-02-2003 01:16 AM

Yeah it's pretty evil [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] - please go on Finwe

Finwe 10-02-2003 04:07 PM

All right. Here goes:


Goes swish in the night,
Scarer of littles,
Goes clump in the night,
Scarer of speechless,
Unafraid of war,
Afraid of our bathtub,
Afraid of our stove,
Afraid of our mum.

Telchar 10-03-2003 01:53 AM

Im guessing: The lord of the Nazgul? ... he is not that good with water, fire and women [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
