Another Trivia Thing
 
Who captured Aredhel in the forest and what is the name of their son?

Lómelindi 06-05-2002 07:28 PM

Aredhel was captured by Eöl, and bore him Maeglin, their son.

Luthien_ Tinuviel 06-05-2002 07:34 PM

Good ob, Lomelindi! This is kind of harder: what is the name of the wizard that turned Rover into a toy?

Lómelindi 06-05-2002 08:45 PM

Artaxerxes, a passing wizard whom Rover annoyed.

(I read Roverandom and loved it, and you don't easily forget a name like "Artaxerxes.")

Arwen Imladris 06-06-2002 03:19 PM

Whoooo Hooooo! I read Roverandom too! I didn't think that like, anyone else did! Cool! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel 06-06-2002 03:24 PM

That's why I said it was hard: I thought no one would have read it.

Luthien_ Tinuviel 06-06-2002 03:34 PM

New question: What is the name of the story in which a boy swallows a star that allows him to travel to Valinor? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

akhtene 06-06-2002 05:51 PM

Smith of Wootton Major ???

Luthien_ Tinuviel 06-06-2002 07:51 PM

Correct! Your turn.

Luthien_ Tinuviel 06-11-2002 07:59 PM

What does Maeglin's name mean?

Lómelindi 06-11-2002 09:53 PM

It means "Sharp Glance.

Lómelindi 06-11-2002 09:55 PM

It means "Sharp Glance.

Luthien_ Tinuviel 06-15-2002 11:29 AM

That's correct.

Lómelindi 06-15-2002 07:34 PM

Cool. Here's one:

What is Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck's formal/other name?

Elenya 06-16-2002 02:51 PM

Well, Meriadoc has a translation from the Red Book that means the same thing: Kalimac. I don't think I right, though. The Rohirrim called him Holdwine.

Joy 06-16-2002 03:39 PM

Meriadoc Brandybuck's real name was Kalimac Brandagamba.

Lómelindi 06-16-2002 05:25 PM

Joy's got it.

(I didn't think it was possible for there to be an odder hobbit name than Meriadoc Brandybuck, but there it is…poor guy, he's got to have both of the weirdest names.)

Elenya 06-16-2002 08:30 PM

I think it's a fairly interesting name. Besides, you have to admit that it's better than Fatty Bolger!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Joy 06-16-2002 10:32 PM

Okay, can you give me 5 of Varda's 7 names?

Lindolirian 06-17-2002 12:31 PM

Varda, Elbereth, Star Kindler, Queen of the Stars, Gilthoniel, Elentari, Tintalle.

Arwen Imladris 06-26-2002 03:18 PM

Well Joy? Is Lindolirian correct?

They look correct to me (but that doesn't meen much) you could probebly just ask.

Luthien_ Tinuviel 06-26-2002 08:47 PM

I think Lindolirian is correct.

Lindolirian 06-26-2002 09:34 PM

Ok I'll either assume I'm correct or i'll just post cause its more than a week .. either way..... here i go.

How long is Iavas and between what modern dates does it occur?

Lómelindi 06-26-2002 11:01 PM

Iavas is 54 days long and falls between August 12 and October 4 (our calendar, of course). It is the season of late summer through about mid-autumn.

Joy 06-26-2002 11:04 PM

Lindo is correct. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Lindolirian 06-28-2002 12:15 AM

There ya are Lomelindi...... ur turn.

Lómelindi 06-28-2002 11:45 AM

Which sword was made of the same metal as Anglachel?

Daniel Telcontar 06-28-2002 11:54 AM

Anguirel and Anglachel were made by Eöl, who made them of some meteor iron he found one day.

Lómelindi 06-28-2002 12:59 PM

Yep, metal-scouring at its finest. Your go.

Daniel Telcontar 06-28-2002 01:02 PM

Why did Fingolfin and his army cross the Helcaraxe?

akhtene 06-28-2002 03:09 PM

They had to, after Feanor deserted them taking all Telleri ships. The only way then to Middle Earth was by crossing the ice of Helcaraxe http://216.40.201.38/games/lufia/lufia2mon/lucloud3.gif

Daniel Telcontar 06-28-2002 03:16 PM

You are right, but you probably knew. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/biglaugh.gif continue, please.

akhtene 06-29-2002 02:55 PM

Of couse I did.

What device was on Aragorn's sword Anduril?

akhtene 07-02-2002 04:18 PM

Is it so very difficult? Look in the chapter "The Ring Goes South"

Lómelindi 07-02-2002 08:51 PM

A device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun.

akhtene 07-02-2002 08:55 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] !!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Your turn.

Lómelindi 07-03-2002 10:37 AM

After what was Elwing named?

Ruthwen 07-03-2002 12:05 PM

She was named after Lanthir Lamath, the waterfall.

Lómelindi 07-03-2002 01:03 PM

[img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Correctamundo. Your turn.

Ruthwen 07-04-2002 07:18 AM

Hmmm, I wonder if this one is too hard, since no one replied on the other one... well, never mind.

What did the people of Middle-earth call Vingilot when they first saw it, and what did that name mean?

If no one answers in two days, another random person can ask a question.
