Or could it be the island of Almaren where Tulkas and Nessa got married? This was before Melkor returned to Middle-Earth and destroyed the Lamps Illuin and Ormal (he attacked against the lights of the Lamps or something like that).

EDIT: Nice to see you've returned, Lindolirian! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's it! Thanks, it's great to be back!

Who were named eglath and why?

The Forsaken people, Teleri Elves who didn't go to Valinor but stayed to look for Elwe. I suppose they felt abandoned?

I suppose so too. Your turn, Lyra! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ooops, sorry it took so long!
OK, an easy one. Who are the two Blue Wizards?

Alatar and Pallando

Very good! Your go...

What was the 'Noontide of the Blessed Realm'?

greetings,
lathspell

The years of the Trees?

When the three kindreds of the elves were gathered in Valinor and Melkor was chained?

Exactly right, gilraën!!!

Thank you, I wasn't sure. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who gave the keys of Orthanc to Saruman?

Boromir I Steward of Gondor.

Not Boromir.

Steward Beren of Gondor.

Yes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

During Tolkien's creative process he changed a lot of the character names repeatedly. What was Merry Brandybuck's first name before it was Meriadoc? (I believe it was the original name for this character.)

Sophia

Marmaduke? It always reminded me of Marmalade when I read it first. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That would be Kalimac.

Marmaduke it was [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Kalimac was his name in Westron, I think.

Sophia

It's your turn gilraen. *bump*

What is another name for Laer Cú Beleg ?

"The Song of the Great Bow". Turin's tribute to Beleg at Eithel Ivrin.

Yes, your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What was Bar-en-Danwedh. What does the name mean and why was it called that?

The House of Ransom, because Turin held Mim to ransom for it?

Wasn't Kalimac the name of Meriadoc in true hobbitish (Kuduk)?

Yes, to Gilraen,

and lathspell- I thought it was Westron (I thought the hobbits spoke Westron as a first language?), but either way, I was looking for the first name Tolkien gave the character while he was writing the story. I'll have to look it up, about the language of 'Kalimac' though.

I'm sorry, I just realised it was my turn here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who did Lily Brown's daughter marry?

Samwise Gamgee! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Another thread I've missed and it was my turn all along.

In which poem is there intentional reference to emeralds?

Bilbo's song that he sings for Lindir in Rivendell. Aragorn insists that he adds "something about a green stone." Bilbo did not know why, but it is clearly a reference to the Elessar.

Perfect Lindolirian! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia

Where was the House of 100 Chimneys?

Tol Eressëa or do you need me to be more speific(sp?) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Good enough!

Thanks.

What tree was found especially on the slopes of mountains and hills?

Rowans?
