Or could it be the island of Almaren where Tulkas and Nessa got married? This was before Melkor returned to Middle-Earth and destroyed the Lamps Illuin and Ormal (he attacked against the lights of the Lamps or something like that).

That's it! Thanks, it's great to be back!

Annunfuiniel · 04-26-2003, 03:33 AM

Who were named eglath and why?

Lyra Greenleaf · 04-26-2003, 12:49 PM

The Forsaken people, Teleri Elves who didn't go to Valinor but stayed to look for Elwe. I suppose they felt abandoned?

Annunfuiniel · 04-26-2003, 03:10 PM

I suppose so too. Your turn, Lyra! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lyra Greenleaf · 05-02-2003, 12:56 PM

Ooops, sorry it took so long!
OK, an easy one. Who are the two Blue Wizards?

lathspell · 05-02-2003, 01:43 PM

Alatar and Pallando

Lyra Greenleaf · 05-03-2003, 05:01 AM

Very good! Your go...

lathspell · 05-04-2003, 10:56 AM

What was the 'Noontide of the Blessed Realm'?

greetings,
lathspell

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-04-2003, 11:54 AM

The years of the Trees?

gilraën · 05-04-2003, 05:04 PM

When the three kindreds of the elves were gathered in Valinor and Melkor was chained?

lathspell · 05-05-2003, 03:35 PM

Exactly right, gilraën!!!

gilraën · 05-05-2003, 03:50 PM

Thank you, I wasn't sure. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who gave the keys of Orthanc to Saruman?

Lindolirian · 05-05-2003, 07:22 PM

Boromir I Steward of Gondor.

gilraën · 05-06-2003, 01:36 PM

Not Boromir.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-06-2003, 02:54 PM

Steward Beren of Gondor.

gilraën · 05-06-2003, 02:56 PM

Yes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-10-2003, 10:48 AM

During Tolkien's creative process he changed a lot of the character names repeatedly. What was Merry Brandybuck's first name before it was Meriadoc? (I believe it was the original name for this character.)

Sophia

gilraën · 05-10-2003, 01:26 PM

Marmaduke? It always reminded me of Marmalade when I read it first. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Salix · 05-10-2003, 01:30 PM

That would be Kalimac.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-12-2003, 09:37 PM

Marmaduke it was [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Kalimac was his name in Westron, I think.

Sophia

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-20-2003, 09:34 AM

It's your turn gilraen. *bump*

gilraën · 05-20-2003, 12:39 PM

What is another name for Laer Cú Beleg ?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-20-2003, 01:34 PM

"The Song of the Great Bow". Turin's tribute to Beleg at Eithel Ivrin.

gilraën · 05-20-2003, 01:38 PM

Yes, your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-20-2003, 01:40 PM

What was Bar-en-Danwedh. What does the name mean and why was it called that?

gilraën · 05-20-2003, 01:45 PM

The House of Ransom, because Turin held Mim to ransom for it?

lathspell · 05-22-2003, 07:31 AM

Wasn't Kalimac the name of Meriadoc in true hobbitish (Kuduk)?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-22-2003, 06:29 PM

Yes, to Gilraen,

and lathspell- I thought it was Westron (I thought the hobbits spoke Westron as a first language?), but either way, I was looking for the first name Tolkien gave the character while he was writing the story. I'll have to look it up, about the language of 'Kalimac' though.

gilraën · 05-26-2003, 04:26 PM

I'm sorry, I just realised it was my turn here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who did Lily Brown's daughter marry?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-26-2003, 04:30 PM

Samwise Gamgee! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

gilraën · 05-26-2003, 04:33 PM

Yes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 07:06 AM

Another thread I've missed and it was my turn all along.

In which poem is there intentional reference to emeralds?

Lindolirian · 06-30-2003, 12:48 PM

Bilbo's song that he sings for Lindir in Rivendell. Aragorn insists that he adds "something about a green stone." Bilbo did not know why, but it is clearly a reference to the Elessar.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-03-2003, 12:12 PM

Perfect Lindolirian! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia

Lindolirian · 07-07-2003, 12:38 PM

Where was the House of 100 Chimneys?

elven maiden Earwen · 07-07-2003, 09:06 PM

Tol Eressëa or do you need me to be more speific(sp?) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 07-08-2003, 02:45 PM

Good enough!

elven maiden Earwen · 07-08-2003, 06:02 PM

Thanks.

What tree was found especially on the slopes of mountains and hills?

gilraën · 07-10-2003, 11:27 AM

Rowans?
