Rohan Trivia Game
 

Greetings all! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This topic is focused on trivia only about Rohan, though you may venture out to ask questions about its people.

First question:

Who was the founder of Rohan's chief city, Edoras?

Enjoy! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

*grins*
Well, this isn't known for sure. It might be Eorl (indicated by the lotr Appendices' "(Eorl) chose for his dwelling a green hill before the feet of the White Mountains that were the south-wall of his land..."). Or, it may be his son Brego, as is stated in the Unfinished Tales.

Well, I was thinking of Eorl as the founder of Edoras. So, you got it right, Ruitha. Congrats! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Your turn!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

there is a thread called Of Gondorians and Rohirrim... which is very similar to this, with exception of gondorians... but Sauceman will over rule me of course...

Well, I await Saucepan Man's judgement, of course, but until that comes here's one to think about. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Before it was gifted to Eorl, what was the land north of the White Mountains known as?

Calhenardhron(sp?)

It's fine by me.

Thanks, The Saucepan Man! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Now...It's your turn, Ruitha, so please ask a question about Rohan. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Um, well, that was mine. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I s'pose it was about Rohan before it actually became Rohan, so it maybe doesn't count ... but I'll let Gil-galad go anyway, as I can't think of another. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (Calenardhon was the correct answer.)

Very well, go ahead Gil-Galad. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Name the place where two "royal" figures were slain

Herm, Poros maybe? If I remember aright the sons of Folcwine fell in battle there.

Edit: As cool as it sounds, 'bell in fattle' doesn't make sense. Sorry. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

nope

Edoras? Freca and Wulf were killed there. But so was Haleth, the son of Helm, who was more royal than both Freca and Wulf. Maybe Helm's Deep? Helm and his other son Hama both died there.

nope

Then I'll have to say Fords of Isen, I know Theodred fell there, but who else?

Since no one has posted here in quite a while, I will be moving this thread along.

Here is a new question:

What was the name that Eomer gave to Aragorn when they first met?

Have at it, mates! :D

Wingfoot

Good job, nobody! You got it right. Your turn! :D

Hey, wow! :eek: I just realized that this is my 300th post! YEAH!!! Oh yeah, uhaa! :D

What type of dragon was Scatha?

I think he was one of those wingless worms, like Glaurung.

That was quick! Correct.

What is the name of the wildman that the rohirrim received help from on their way to Rohan?

Ghan-buri-Ghan.

Scatha wingless?
 

Sorry to interrupt, but I just had to comment on this:

I would say that is debatable at least - check out this thread: A Worm with Wings? (And please post any further thoughts there rather than here to prevent this thread going off topic.)

Back to the Quiz ...

Interesting thread... But there was no conclusion. I based my answer on the fact that i had heard of "Scatha the worm".
Anyway..the answer is right.

In what language did Eorl speak the Oath of Eorl?

Wasn't it spoken in the tongue of Eotheod?

Yep, Perky Ent got it. Please proceed.

Who was the Steward of Gondor who asked Eotheod for help in 2510?

That would have been Cirion.

Hello? Ent Guy?

*bump*

Moving along, I believe that NightKnight got that question right, unless someone can prove me otherwise. So, it's your turn to ask a question NightKnight.

Have at it folks. :D

uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh..........NightKnight? *bump*

Uhm, yeah. Name the three that led the front eoreds to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

i have two i think lets see one was elfhelm
the second one dernhelm
and the third one maybe eomer

Wasn't Dernhelm Eowyn? I doubt she led one. Theoden probably led one himself.

I don't count Theoden as leading one. And Dernhelm/Eowyn is wrong.

What about Erkenbrand?
