Lyta_Underhill is correct, but I was going for Merridoc so I'm going to let Gil-Galad have it. Sorry

Do I get a consolation prize? :P

Cheers,

righty away

who were the original holders of the 3 elven rings AND what happened too them

As far as I can recall, the Three Rings were held by:
Narya: Gil-Galad, given to Cirdan, thence to Gandalf
Vilya: Elrond
Nenya: Galadriel

All three lost their power when the One Ring was destroyed. as for what happened to the holders: Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf passed West, while Gil-Galad perished at the Great Battle of Elves and Men at the end of the Second Age; Cirdan sailed the ship out of the Grey Havens. Is that good?

Cheers,
Lyta

The original holders of the Three Rings...

VILYA belonged to Gil-Galad. When Gil-Galad died in the battle of the Last Alliance, Elrond recieved his ring, which he kept until he sailed into the West.

NENYA belonged to Galadriel, who kept it until she sailed into the West.

NARYA belonged to Cirdan, who gave it to Gandalf when he first arrived in Middle Earth. Gandalf kept the ring until he sailed into the West. Cirdan sailed into the West later.

Meneltarmacil is correct! even though Gil-Galad gave his ring too Elrond before he died it is still close enough and good try Lyta, you just mixed them up!!!

"i am the Gila Mobster"

Thanks, Gil-Galad! I realized that right after Meneltarmacil posted...that's what I get for being hasty! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Now, I must find those Ents! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Cheers,
Lyta

I am going to be unable to go online until August 1, so Lyta can ask a question instead. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks, Meneltarmacil! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I get a question right before and I lose, and now I get it wrong and I win! What a world! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Heh heh...now, what for a question? How about this:

Where is the final resting place of Meriadoc and Peregrin?

Cheers,
Lyta

Rath Dinen, in Gondor.

Right in one, Luthien_Tinuviel! Your go!

Why thankyou! What was the name of Thingol's palace?

Mengroth the Thousand Caves

Not to be completely picky, but there is an extra 'e' in the name, Earwen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Menegroth.
Peace

Earwen and Yavanna are both correct. Earwen, it's your turn!

Thank you.

What river ran by Thranduil's hall?

The 'Forest River'; perhaps in Sindarin the Tawlo or something...

The river Esgalduin.

Esgalduin was the river that flowed though Dorith. It was indeed the Forest River I was looking for. Your turn Mr. Windlord

Gwaihir, I do believe it's your turn, mate. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the name of the horse lord

Hint: bringer of white

Shadowfax?

i was trying to remember the anwser and i beleive your right so go ahead

OK, thanks.

Of all the races that Tolkien wrote about, which did he say he was most like?

The hobbits?

Man or elve?

" I am in fact a hobbit in all but size, I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food...I do not travel much."

This is what Tolkien said about himself, so Amanaduial is correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
