Of the Valar - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

NightKnight · 04-23-2004, 05:07 AM

Manwe, Ulmo, Aule, Orome, Lorien (Irmo), Mandos (Namo), Tulkas, Varda, Yavanna, Nienna, Nessa, Vaire, Vana and Este.

Firefoot · 04-23-2004, 05:13 AM

Yes.

NightKnight · 04-24-2004, 04:05 AM

So, which of these were the Aratar?

Fingolfin II · 04-24-2004, 04:29 AM

They were: Manwë, Varda, Ulmo, Yavanna, Aulë, Mandos, Nienna and Oromë. Melkor was also an Aratar, but he isn't counted since he rebelled against the Valar.

NightKnight · 04-24-2004, 06:16 AM

Right-o!

Aethelwine · 04-28-2004, 04:46 AM

I'm really trying not to make a habit of this, but:

Bump-erty-bump!

Fingolfin II, where are thou?!

Have a nice eavesdrop,

Aethelwine.

Fingolfin II · 04-29-2004, 01:24 AM

Wow, sorry, totally forgot about this thread.

Anyway, what were the names of Nienna's two brothers?

Aethelwine · 04-29-2004, 01:56 AM

Well, that would be the Fëanturi, Námo ( or Mandos ) and Irmo ( or Lorien ).

Have a nice day!

Aethelwine.

Fingolfin II · 04-29-2004, 02:41 AM

And that would be....correct!

Aethelwine · 04-29-2004, 05:58 AM

I got it right!

Here we go:
Who took care of Míriel, after she had grown weary of living in Arda? Two names please.

Love,

Aethelwine.

Thorongil · 04-29-2004, 07:41 AM

Lorien(Irmo) & Este?

Aethelwine · 04-30-2004, 01:51 PM

You're right, Thorongil!

Go right ahead...

Navaer!

Aethelwine.

Thorongil · 04-30-2004, 04:40 PM

Okay, an easy one...
What was the name of Orome's horn?

Bombadil · 04-30-2004, 05:00 PM

Valaróma?

Thorongil · 04-30-2004, 05:04 PM

Yup.

Bombadil · 04-30-2004, 07:56 PM

What is a possible name for the arrangement of stars created by Varda, known today to be the Big Dipper?

Fingolfin II · 04-30-2004, 08:17 PM

The Sickle of the Valar?

Bombadil · 04-30-2004, 08:48 PM

of course! you're up!

Fingolfin II · 04-30-2004, 09:16 PM

What were the names of the two lamps of the Valar and who wrought them?

Saraphim · 04-30-2004, 11:44 PM

Illuin and Ormal, wrought by Aule, I think.

Fingolfin II · 05-01-2004, 12:50 AM

You think right.

Saraphim · 05-04-2004, 09:00 PM

Arg. Sorry guys. The whole Barrow-Downs birthday party screwed me up.

Anyway:

What was Manwe's surname and what did it mean?

Thorongil · 05-04-2004, 11:01 PM

Wasn't it Sulimo meaning High King of Arda or something like that?

Fingolfin II · 05-05-2004, 01:57 AM

Doesn't it mean lord of the airs? 'Sul' means breath, so therefore would it be Lord of the Breath of Arda?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-05-2004, 02:12 AM

Súlimo - Lord of the winds.

Saraphim · 05-05-2004, 04:16 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund is correct!!!

Aethelwine · 05-15-2004, 11:34 AM

Seeing as ten days have already past, and I would love to see this topic active again, I'll ask a new question:

What is special about the term 'Valier'? And I don't mean the fact that it's used to describe the Valar that took on a female form.

Have fun!

Aethelwine.

Son of Númenor · 05-15-2004, 02:39 PM

It was only ever used by Tolkien in the Valaquenta?

Aethelwine · 05-16-2004, 04:25 AM

Well done, Son of Númenor!

It's your turn now.

Cheers!

Aethelwine.

Elwe Singollo · 06-07-2004, 06:47 AM

What does Elentári mean?

NightKnight · 06-07-2004, 08:44 AM

Queen of the Stars.
