Ok I'll give this ago although my tolkien knowledge is limited...

Henneth Annun
Emyn Muil
Hills of Andram
Taur-en-Faroth

I apologise in advance for any spelling errors!

Bombariffic

no one?
i can give a clue if you want

Is the answer
All have water fell from it [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] . Except one, Taur-en-Faroth didn't had a waterfall

You are absolutely, positively, as correct as you could possibly be.

Congratulations on your heroic success, and would you please do the honour of asking the next question?

I’m really honoured to present the next question [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nargothrond
Gondolin
Himring

Several options:

Himring alone survived the flooding of Beleriand.

OR

Himring is the only one occupied by a son of Feanor (Maedhros), the other two were of the house of Fingolfin.

OR

Himring is the only one that wasn't founded at the prompting of dreams from Ulmo.

No No and No

Was Himring the only one not beseiged? Or sacked?

Nope that’s not it.
Hint: Himring was besieged and probable sacked [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nargothrond was originally inhabited by Dwarves wasn't it?

Or perhaps, Himring was a military site while Nargothrond and Gondolin were civilian cities as well.

No and No, but this answer (the first one) has got some similarity with the answer I’m looking for.

Not too sure on this one, but didn't Finrod enlist the help of Dwarves to build Nargothrond, while the other two were built by Elves?

Yes,Finrod did but that's not the answer I'm looking for

i thought that the petty dwarfs lived there and since the elves from Doriath hunted them down, and there city was gettign with less people the elves just came to live there becasue nobody else was there?

Gonodlin was the last to fall/sacked

No that's not the answer,

Nargothrond was inhabited by dwarves after the sacking....?

You found almost one part of the answer Sophia

Nargothrond was inhabited once more after it was sacked!...
Well, twice more actually, Glaurung too was there for some time.

lathspell

nope

Himring because it remained partly above the sea after the flooding of beleriand?

oh wait someone already said that. sorry!

ok some guesses then:

-Nargothrond and Gondolin were hidden from melkor for a while, while himring wasnt?

-Nargothrond and Gondolin had only one proper way in, while himring had more?

both of these are guesses as i know virtually nothing about himring

No and no

Hint : It has something to do with dwarves and dragons, but dragons are no part of the answer

the dwarevs were the only ones to interact in nargothtrhaunds making, the others were by elves

the dwarves were the only ones to interact in nargoththraunds making, the others were by elves.

(sorry if i spell wrong)

Nargothrond is not the answer.

Did the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost fight at Himring? I believe they were the allies of Maedhros? That would make it the only one where dwarves fought on the same side as the elves.

Sophia

Dwarfs’ fighting at Himrig is one part of the answer but Himring is not the answer [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

There has never been dwarves in Gondolin?

Right place but for the wrong reason

Gondolin was the only one that fell through inside treachery and not outside? Himring was betrayed by Ulfang etc. and Nargothrond was destroyed by Glaurung, but not through treachery. Gondolin was betrayed by Maeglin, it's future ruler.

Sophia

No sorry that’s not it , dwarf has to be a central point in the motivation

none of the gates of Gondolin were wrought by Dwarves?

none of the gates of Gondolin were wrought by Dwarves?
(clsoet one is Maeglins gate whch he made with dwarvish skill)

Nope that’s not it, Gondolin is the only place were none of the dwarfs were killed
you can ask a new question, If you want

I'm not going to take the question opportunity! However I do wish to express my shock at the fact that one of my threads could last this long! Thnks for keeping it up and running. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

sure i'll make the next one, actaully i foudn this on the second page and tried to keep it alive

1. Lorien
2. Avathar
3. Mordor
4. Sirion

Is the odd place out 2. Avathar??? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The odd place out is Lorien because all of the others were somehow touched by evil at one time.

Avathar --> Morgoth/Ungoliant
Mordor --> Sauron
Sirion --> Feanor's sons (evil enough!)

You are probably right.......Lorien was my second choice you know.....LOL [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

nope sorry


Edit: think elves ...
