Of the Valar
 
Hello, quiz room addicts! This thread is dedicated to the Valar and thier doings, so have fun! Here's the first question:

Before Arda was created, what did Melkor seek in the Void?

Fingolfin II 04-09-2004 01:22 AM

He sought the Imperishable Fire, but couldn't frind it since it was with Eru.

Saraphim 04-09-2004 10:39 AM

Right, the thread is yours, Fingolfin II.

Fingolfin II 04-09-2004 08:38 PM

Cheers, ok, here's and easy one:

Name the Feanturi.

The Perky Ent 04-09-2004 09:21 PM

um...mandos and lorien

Fingolfin II 04-09-2004 11:00 PM

Yep.

The Perky Ent 04-10-2004 08:11 AM

Yay! OK, new one:

Another easy one: Name the Ithryn in their original spelling.

luthien-elvenprincess 04-10-2004 03:21 PM

Alatar and Pallando

Firefoot 04-10-2004 07:14 PM

Well, since you said Ithryn and not Ithryn Luin, I will guess Allatar, Pallando, Curumo (or Curunír if you prefer Sindarin), Olorin, and Aiwendil.

NightKnight 04-16-2004 09:34 AM

Perky? Is Firefoot right?

The Perky Ent 04-16-2004 10:20 AM

but of course!

Firefoot 04-16-2004 02:30 PM

Alrighty, which of the Valar is also known by the name of Béma?

NightKnight 04-16-2004 02:31 PM

Oromë?

Firefoot 04-16-2004 02:36 PM

That was quick. Your turn.

NightKnight 04-16-2004 02:38 PM

I try my best. :)

Who was the sister of the Fëanturi?

Aethelwine 04-16-2004 02:44 PM

Why, that's Nienna.

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

NightKnight 04-16-2004 02:45 PM

Absolutely. :)

Aethelwine 04-16-2004 02:51 PM

Well, I'll make it easy.
 
Who's nickname meant 'Queen of the Earth' and what was that nickname?

Always liked that name myself, actually.

Cheers, mates!

Aethelwine.

NightKnight 04-16-2004 02:52 PM

That would be Yavanna's nickname Kementari.

Aethelwine 04-16-2004 02:55 PM

And right you are.

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

NightKnight 04-16-2004 03:00 PM

Hmm...

Name three valar that "disappeared" from BoLT -> Silm.

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-17-2004 03:28 AM

Nil is back, tell a friendster...
 
That would be Ómar-Amillo, Makar, and Meássë.

Ossë was a Vala in the Lost Tales, but he was demoted in the Silm. :)

NightKnight 04-17-2004 03:48 AM

Excellent, your turn. :)

Aethelwine 04-19-2004 01:25 AM

Nilpaurion ? Where o where are you?

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-20-2004 02:17 AM

I'm here!
 
Who was Oromë's sister?

Fingolfin II 04-20-2004 02:31 AM

Nessa, wife of Tulkas.

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-20-2004 02:46 AM

Fingolfin II, welcome back...
 
Correct, as usual. :)

Fingolfin II 04-20-2004 05:16 AM

Cheers Nil
 
It seems like only yesterday we were having so much fun on Familial Ties and Six Degrees.....anway, my question is pretty simple- which Vala "taught" two evil Maiar?

Aethelwine 04-20-2004 07:27 AM

Melkor?

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

Maédhros 04-20-2004 12:11 PM

Perhaps you are referring to Aulë, because both Sauron and Curumo were in the beginning maiar of Aulë that later turned into evil.

Or Melkor can be an answer because it could be that Melkor instructed some of the maiar that entered into his service. He could have instructed the 7 balrogs perhaps.

Aethelwine 04-20-2004 02:38 PM

I agree Maédhros, there are many possibilitys.

We'll just have to wait for Fingolfin, and his answer... *bump*

I'm very impatient, I know...

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

Fingolfin II 04-21-2004 02:36 AM

Sorry, I just realised this was pretty ambiguous. Maedhros is correct however with Aule. Sorry Aethelwine.

Aethelwine 04-21-2004 03:55 AM

No problem, Fingolfin :) ;)

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

P.S. Look at the cool new icon! ^_^

Maédhros 04-21-2004 07:57 AM

In the earlier legendarium, when the Valar assaulted Melkor, who was the Valar who was about to kneel before Melkor in order to deceive him and take him back to Valinórë?

NightKnight 04-21-2004 08:00 AM

Manwë?

Maédhros 04-21-2004 09:00 AM

That is correct. Your turn.

NightKnight 04-22-2004 01:51 PM

Whose horse was named Nahar?

Firefoot 04-22-2004 04:30 PM

Oromë's.

NightKnight 04-23-2004 03:53 AM

Indeed. :)

Firefoot 04-23-2004 04:53 AM

Hm, here's a cheap question: name all 14 Valar.
