This is where the greatest, the least, and the middlest are kept. I can't explain it, so an example must do.

Example

Q: What is the brightest of stars?
A: Earendil.

So here's my question(an easy one):

Who achieved the loudest voice by a mortal man?

Arestevana · 11-12-2003, 04:03 PM

I believe it was King Theoden of Rohan.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-12-2003, 07:45 PM

Right! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Next question.

Arestevana · 11-14-2003, 02:21 PM

What inn serves the best beer in the Eastfarthing? (according to Pippin [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Gil-Galad · 11-14-2003, 04:51 PM

green dragon?

Telchar · 11-14-2003, 05:44 PM

The Golden Peach

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-16-2003, 04:26 AM

Telchar, maybe you mean the "Golden Perch"...

Arestevana · 11-16-2003, 04:20 PM

The answer was the Golden Perch. So Telchar, you may continue. (unless you really did mean peach [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Telchar · 11-27-2003, 10:08 AM

I will at least claim to the day of my death that IT WAS A TYPO!!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Q: Who were the wisest of the Maiar?

The Laurenendorian · 11-27-2003, 10:24 AM

Olórin?

Telchar · 11-27-2003, 10:53 AM

correct...

The Laurenendorian · 11-27-2003, 01:32 PM

Who has the longest hair?

Telchar · 11-27-2003, 05:08 PM

I would say Luthien, when she let her hair grow, to escape from Hirilorn ?

The Laurenendorian · 11-27-2003, 05:18 PM

Not so, but not entirely unconnected to the answer.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-02-2003, 02:14 AM

That's OK, Telchar.

Anyway, is the answer Indravangs/Indrafangs/Longbeards? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

[ 11:25 PM December 02, 2003: Message edited by: Nilpaurion Felagund ]

The Laurenendorian · 12-02-2003, 06:50 PM

No. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Telchar's guess was rather close, in a way.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-02-2003, 10:34 PM

Uinen the lady of the Sea! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

The Laurenendorian · 12-03-2003, 05:45 AM

Verily so.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-04-2003, 12:40 AM

Thank you! *bows*

OK, who was the first to reach Arda?

Telchar · 12-04-2003, 02:49 AM

Melkor?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-04-2003, 03:07 AM

Correct, Telchar! Your turn... [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Telchar · 12-04-2003, 07:29 AM

What was the name of the tallest of the towers West of the Shire...
(and I am talking about the towers just West of the Shire, nothing tricksy in this question)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-04-2003, 07:56 PM

Elostirion?

The Perky Ent · 12-07-2003, 02:59 PM

Grey Havens??

Telchar · 12-10-2003, 03:04 PM

Elostirion is correct! Please continue Nilpaurion Felagund - And sorry about the delay...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-10-2003, 09:31 PM

'tis alright, Telchar...

Anyway, name all mountains that contribute to the longest river in Middle-earth.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-14-2003, 07:57 PM

Anyone? I'm asking for only four...

Evisse the Blue · 12-15-2003, 02:38 AM

Grey Moutains, Misty Mountains, White Mountains, Mountains of Shadow.
Correct?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-16-2003, 02:17 AM

*scratches head at why his earlier confirmation post disappeared*

You're right, and in the order I thought it would be. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Evisse the Blue · 12-16-2003, 03:08 AM

Whose was the longest-enduring pain?

Gil-numen · 12-21-2003, 05:53 PM

Maedhros?

----------------------

"Show it to me"
Thingol to Beren

Evisse the Blue · 12-22-2003, 06:53 AM

Nope, not him.

Elrond of Rivendell · 12-22-2003, 03:10 PM

Hurin ... although I don't remember whether he was really held captive THAT long by Morgoth?

Telchar · 12-22-2003, 07:38 PM

What about Morgoth?

Quote:

In token of this he set the Silmarils in his crown. His hands were burned black by the touch of those hallowed jewels, and black they remained ever after; nor was he ever free from the pain of the burning, and the anger of the pain.

NightKnight · 12-23-2003, 04:58 AM

Either Thingol or Elrond, after the losses of their daughters?

Evisse the Blue · 12-23-2003, 07:55 AM

Telchar has it, Morgoth is the answer. After all, never is a very long time... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Telchar · 12-23-2003, 05:40 PM

what job took the longest to finish?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-24-2003, 05:33 AM

The one that never gets started? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Telchar · 12-24-2003, 05:37 AM

That is at least the correct answer according to the Gaffer [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Please continue

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-27-2003, 05:07 AM

Thank you, Telchar! *bows*

Now, which mortal(regardless of race) lived the longest, and how long?
