1. The stars originally came from the dews of Telperion.

2. Pallando was a maia of Oromë.

3. Bilbo gave Hugo Bracegirdle an umbrella.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-09-2005 05:57 PM

cleaver question, but I am pretty sure I have the answer:

3) Hugo Bracegirdle got a bookcase, right ?

Orominuialwen 11-09-2005 10:22 PM

Yes, indeed, you are correct. Your thread, Rune.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-10-2005 05:01 AM

Thanks
 
1) Edhellond was foundet by Silvan Elves
2) A ring from Gil-Galad was given to the wife of Ulbar (the shepherd)
3) Queen Berúthiel dissapered in the far south and was never heard of again

Glirdan 11-10-2005 02:14 PM

2 is wrong. A Ring was given from Gil-Galad to Cirdan.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-10-2005 03:30 PM

not the rigt answer, the ring I am talking of was just a gift from gil-galad to Tar-Aldarion who then gave it to wife of Ulbar.

NightKnight 11-13-2005 08:14 AM

Then it has to be number 1, for Beruthiel was lost in the south, put on a raft with her cats IIRC.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-13-2005 11:27 AM

yup, your turn NightKnight

NightKnight 11-14-2005 10:37 AM

Right-o, lets try this out. Here it comes:

1) Bregolas was killed in Dagor Bragollach
2) Barahir was killed in Dagor Bragollach
3) Borlach was killed in Nirnaeth Arnoediad

Holbytlass 11-14-2005 01:09 PM

#2:Barahir did fight in Dagor Bragollach, but died fighting in Dorthonion.

NightKnight 11-15-2005 03:28 AM

Indeed. Your turn, Holbytlass.

Holbytlass 11-15-2005 08:57 AM

1)Fen Hollen: marshes west of Minas Tirith
2)Fen March: marshes along Mering Stream
3)Fen Serech: marshes above Pass of Sirion

Gurthang 11-17-2005 03:43 PM

Without looking at a map, I would guess 1. I surely do not remember there being marshes west of Minas Tirith. In fact, I think that there are only the White Mountains west of the White City.

Holbytlass 11-19-2005 08:19 AM

You got it because #1 is false, but Fen Hollen is on the west side of Minas Tirith. For bonus, what is Fen Hollen?

Gurthang 11-19-2005 07:25 PM

I just realized how horribly mean it would be to put:

1. Balrogs have wings.
2. Balrogs do not have wings.
3. (Insert whatever you want. The joke has been made.)

But I'm not going to do that, cause I'm not that horribly mean. So...

According to the Books.
1. Turin was killed by Glaurung.
2. Glaurung was killed by Turin.
3. Beren had his hand bitten off.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-19-2005 07:28 PM

1) Turin took his own life, well Gurthang helped.

Gurthang 11-19-2005 07:37 PM

Wow! Three minutes! That was really quick Rune! Congratulations, you are correct, so the thread is yours. :D

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-19-2005 07:50 PM

Thanks Gurthang. . .

1)The Inland Sea of Helcar lay where the roots of the mountain of Illuin had been.
2)The Water of Awakening lay near the Red Mountains
3)Cuiviénen lay on the southern shore of the Sea of Helcar

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-26-2005 11:04 AM

It is not that hard. . .
 
someone guess ! please

Gothmog 11-26-2005 11:37 AM

Ok, a guess. Wasn't Cuivinen on the eastern shore of the Sea of Helcar? Number 3 is wrong?

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-26-2005 12:03 PM

Thats it Gothmog.

It was not that hard, was it ?

Gothmog 11-27-2005 05:05 AM

Nothing is hard when you know the answer. Can you find the false statement among these three?

1. Eöl named his son Maeglin at his birth. Later, Aradhel named him Lómion, so he has two names.
2. Eöl killed Aradhel and was thrown off a cliff as punishment.
3. It was Eöl that forged Anglachel/Gurthang and Anguirel (two prominent members of this site ;))

Good luck people!

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-27-2005 06:27 AM

1) is falls, Eol refused to name his son untill he was. . . can't remember, but he chose to wait. While Aradhel named him child of the twilight pretty early on.

Gothmog 11-27-2005 06:33 AM

Correct. Eöl named his son Maeglin when he was 12. Aradhel gave him the secret name Lomion, child of twilight, at his birth.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-27-2005 06:54 AM

oh 12. Lets see if I remember it this time


1) Aragorns grandmother was named Ivorwen
2) Ulfang was the son of Ulwarth
3) Hador was succeeded by Barahir

Thinlómien 01-13-2006 08:07 AM

B. is incorrect, because Ulwarth was the son of Ulfang.

gralin musicteeth 01-17-2006 06:18 AM

Does that mean that you go now, Thinlómien?

Rune Son of Bjarne 06-14-2006 04:34 PM

a bit delayed
 
It is your turn Lommy. . .

Thinlómien 11-22-2006 04:00 AM

Eek, sorry. I had totally forgotten about this thread.

1. Bilbo gave Lobelia Sackville-Baggins silver spoons.
2. Bilbo gave Adelard Took an umbrella.
3. Bilbo gave Milo Burroughs a bookshelf.

Damrod 01-11-2007 03:33 PM

I breathe life into thee, thread!
 
3. is wrong. Milo got a gold pen and ink.

Gil-Galad 02-20-2007 10:45 AM

been a couple months...


1. Elladan and Elrohir saved Celebrian
2. Elladan and Elrohir fought at Pellenor Fields
3. Elladan and Elrohir carried the banner of Arwen Evenstar

Thinlómien 09-28-2007 03:21 PM

The third one is wrong. The banner was carried by Halbarad.

(Yes, I'm practising for the trivia game. How did you know? :p)

TheGreatElvenWarrior 09-28-2007 09:45 PM

Number three is wrong. Because they did do those other things.

Gil-Galad 09-29-2007 12:16 PM

Lommy is correct... i totally forgot it was my turn too

Thinlómien 09-29-2007 12:21 PM

Thanks Gil and never mind. :)

1. Celebrimbor was Fëanor's grandson
2. Elrond was Beren's grandson
3. Finrod Felagund was Finwë's grandson

Legate of Amon Lanc 09-29-2007 12:31 PM

Number two is wrong. Where we have Fëanor-Curufin-Celebrimbor and Finwë-Finarfin-Finrod, there's either one Dior or one Eärendil more than it should be ;)

Thinlómien 09-29-2007 12:33 PM

Of course. :)

I wonder how can this type of questions be made difficult in the first place...

Legate of Amon Lanc 09-29-2007 01:05 PM

Well, depends on how much you know. I can still remember the times when all these folks whose names started on "F" were the same to me...

What about this:

1. Aragorn returned the Palantír of Orthanc to Isengard.
2. Denethor never connected his Palantír with the Ithil-stone.
3. The fate of the Ithil-stone was not known until the War of the Ring.

The Might 09-29-2007 01:43 PM

Well, it must be 1, since 2 and 3 are wrong.
And since I know 1 is right...
Hmm...somehow I think this thread is too easy.

It would be more difficult in my opinion if someone made a statement (preferably vague) and the others should say if its true or false AND give a quote or something cause otherwise it would make no sense.

Legate of Amon Lanc 09-29-2007 02:04 PM

But Miggy, that's two TRUTHS and a lie... so you have to choose just one thing that's wrong.

Which, unless I am mistaken (and I hope I am not :o ), is only one in the options.
