The Might 12-29-2008 11:26 AM

Hmm, no.

Was there one King of Rohan not buried there, I'm not sure really...?

Pitchwife 12-29-2008 05:11 PM

If not Rohan, then what about the tombs of the kings at Minas Tirith? Elendil was buried on Amon Anwar, but weren't his bones transferred to MT later?

By the way, is it 'lie' as in 'lie buried' or 'lie on the ground' or as in 'tell untruth'?

Beregond 12-30-2008 12:15 AM

What about the Chamber of Mazarbul, where only Balin is not, well, lying on the floor?

The Might 12-30-2008 08:43 AM

Lie as in lie buried.

Hmmm, just realised that Earnur was an exception, only King of Gondor not to be buried in the House of Kings, which would fit the description.

But I had something else in mind. :D

Inziladun 12-30-2008 08:37 PM

Would it be the foot of the Meneltarma upon Númenor? Ar-Pharazôn was not there with the other Kings and Queens.

The Might 12-30-2008 09:35 PM

Yes, I was actually loking for the name of that valley, but your description will do.

Inziladun 12-31-2008 08:14 AM

Sorry. Noirinan should be the specific name.

Here'e a new one:

Remember the regal hunter slain by the prey?

The Might 12-31-2008 08:16 AM

Of course I do, you mean Folca killed by the Boar of Everholt, no?

Inziladun 12-31-2008 08:31 AM

Outstanding. Your go.

The Might 01-01-2009 08:25 PM

Remember the one covered in white dust?

Beregond 01-01-2009 08:46 PM

Will Whitfoot? :p

The Might 01-02-2009 09:52 AM

This is going way too fast... I have to look harder... Your turn, sir!

Beregond 01-02-2009 10:20 AM

At least yours didn't drag on like my last one...

Remember the one who disobeyed out of love?

Inziladun 01-02-2009 11:09 AM

That woudn't, by chance, be Beregond would it?

Beregond 01-02-2009 11:13 AM

Well, that was quick, wasn't it! My nickname didn't give it away, did it? ;)

Inziladun 01-02-2009 11:43 AM

It did give me a considerable head start, I must admit.
People here are entirely too good at this. It's a shame there isn't some sort of game show dealing with Tolkien lore and involving large amounts of money. ;)
Anyway...

Remember the one who refused to be a king?

Ilya 01-02-2009 01:19 PM

Would it perhaps be Vardamir?

Inziladun 01-02-2009 01:48 PM

Indeed it would. The thread is yours.

Ilya 01-03-2009 12:04 AM

Cool.

Remember the one who was ambushed?

Inziladun 01-03-2009 01:09 PM

I can think of a few who might qualify. My first guess would be Túrin, by Saeros.

Beregond 01-03-2009 01:28 PM

Second guess: Celebrian, by Orcs.

Ilya 01-03-2009 05:50 PM

It was indeed Celebrian I had in mind. Your go, Beregond. :)

Beregond 01-03-2009 11:26 PM

Hooray! :)

Remember the one whom phantom betrayed?

Inziladun 01-03-2009 11:39 PM

Beren, maybe? Betrayed by Gorlim?

Beregond 01-03-2009 11:54 PM

Hrmm, hooom, well, no... but you are hasty folk, and have spoiled the answer, which is Gorlim. You may proceed, for thou are close as can be. :)

Inziladun 01-04-2009 12:10 AM

Ahhh. Sorry about that, mate. I had the picture of Gorlim appearing to Beren in my head, and it clouded the fact that Gorlim's wraith didn't really betray anyone.
Anyways...

Remember the one who was carried by six?

Beregond 01-04-2009 12:20 AM

Good question! Bombur?

I almost hope I'm wrong, because we've been answering these so quickly. But I can't help but try. :p

Inziladun 01-04-2009 09:39 AM

It seems finding a real poser for you lot is going to be tough. ;)
Well done.

Beregond 01-04-2009 02:27 PM

It is hard to write a difficult question that is not so vague as to provoke a guessing-game! :)

Remember this one, giver of toothy adornment?


.

The Might 01-04-2009 03:16 PM

I am not sure what you mean by toothy really, but I have the feeling that you use toothy somewhat figuratively and that you then mean something bad or evil... maybe a wrong interpretation, but just a thought so far.

In that case I'll take Hurin as giver of the Nauglamir which caused the downfall of Doriath eventually.

Inziladun 01-04-2009 04:01 PM

If not that, perhaps Gollum giving "the marks of his teeth" to Aragorn?

Beregond 01-04-2009 04:29 PM

Good answers, but both wrong. Although I like figurative language you'll find I didn't use it in this case. :)

Ilya 01-04-2009 08:30 PM

Fram, then, who sent the Dwarves Scatha's teeth.

Beregond 01-04-2009 09:00 PM

Very sharp! Take it away! :)

Ilya 01-05-2009 12:14 PM

Thankee.

Remember the one with the colorful name?

The Might 01-05-2009 12:36 PM

I immediately thought "Hobbits" after reading the question so I went through all the Hobbit names and the one that seems most colourful is:

Lavender Boffin, as lavender is a colour. Although others may theoretically also represent colours...

Ilya 01-05-2009 01:09 PM

Ha, yeah, hobbits do have very colorful names, but Lavender isn't who I'm thinking of. The one I have in mind's more than a little taller.

Pitchwife 01-05-2009 01:18 PM

Caranthir (=Red-faced) ?

Inziladun 01-05-2009 01:35 PM

Hmmm. What about Elu Thingol, aka Elwë Singollo (Greycloak)?

Ilya 01-05-2009 01:38 PM

No, and no, unfortunately.
