Odd PLACE Out - Page 10 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Evisse the Blue · 09-24-2003, 03:47 AM

I mean specific persons - good question, Telchar, cause this makes for a good hint!

Tarien Ithil · 09-28-2003, 01:15 PM

Rohan, because the Teleri people did not settle there.

I’m probably wrong…………(I think it’s also got something to do with Beleriand and Elwe Singollo)

Evisse the Blue · 09-28-2003, 01:38 PM

Yeah, you're wrong, because it's not about people as a whole race but about individuals.
Elwe Singollo does indeed have something to do with it. And this is a big hint.

Telchar · 09-30-2003, 07:59 AM

I AM <-----soooo-----> LOST

Niluial · 09-30-2003, 03:28 PM

I have been trying to figure this out for the past hour I even turned to google (eek)… but nothing. Any other clues or is that all you giving us?

Niluial

Evisse the Blue · 10-01-2003, 06:36 AM

Lol, that's so fun, because it's actually staring you in the face. You guys are probably looking so hard that you fail to see the obvious. Think about the individuals for whom those places meant ... something. Rememebr that Rohan is the OPO.
And I could give a more specific location for Gondor: Minas Tirith.

Telchar · 10-01-2003, 07:20 AM

I feel so 'one track minded...'

The only thing I can come yo with is that no kinsman of Thingol ever lived in Rohan...

Meneltarmacil · 10-01-2003, 08:23 PM

Does it have anything to do with people(all related to Thingol, naturally)falling in love/getting married/etc.? Thingol and Melian in Nan Elmoth, Beren and Luthien in Neldoreth, Aragorn and Arwen in Minas Tirith, and let's see...Nobody in Rohan.
*thinks a bit*
Wait a second! Aragorn and Arwen didn't meet and fall in love in Minas Tirith! Now my answer is useless!

*yells and screams and bangs head against wall*

I'm about to take a cue from Denethor and torch myself if this isn't solved soon...

Come on, what is it? We're all stumped.

Meneltarmacil, you got it! Yeeeeah!
::jumps up and down throwing confetti above stumped barrowdowners::
Even if you got the Minas Tirith one wrong, as you yourself admited. It was Eowyn and Faramir who fell in love in Minas Tirith. You got the reason right, so it's your turn.

Meneltarmacil · 10-04-2003, 09:49 AM

Minas Tirith
Isengard
Osgiliath
Amon Hen

[ October 04, 2003: Message edited by: Meneltarmacil ]

Telchar · 10-04-2003, 11:23 AM

The easy answer would be - there was never a palantiri on Amon Hen... but that probably too simple?

Meneltarmacil · 10-04-2003, 11:36 AM

Good guess, but sorry, that wasn't what I was thinking. Guess again.

Gil-Galad · 10-04-2003, 02:49 PM

Minas Tirith was never abandoned
(MAin Hen was in ruin, nobody dwelled at Isengard and Osgiliath was also in ruin

Meneltarmacil · 10-04-2003, 04:07 PM

Nope, not what I was thinking either. It has something to do with people.

Gil-Galad · 10-04-2003, 08:10 PM

Isengard was the only place a wizard dwelled? or Isengard was the only place given away

Meneltarmacil · 10-04-2003, 09:32 PM

Right OPO, wrong reason though. Keep 'em coming!

Gil-Galad · 10-05-2003, 09:36 AM

Isengard was the only place tooken over by the Dunlendings? or the ents?

Meneltarmacil · 10-05-2003, 10:47 AM

Wrong again, Gil-Galad. The answer involves one specific person.

tom bombariffic · 10-05-2003, 01:11 PM

Boromir never went to Isengard?

Meneltarmacil · 10-05-2003, 02:04 PM

Quote:

Boromir never went to Isengard?

You're absoluely right! How on earth did you guess that so quickly?

Your turn, tom bombariffic!

[ October 05, 2003: Message edited by: Meneltarmacil ]

Gil-Galad · 10-05-2003, 02:14 PM

wow that amaezes me too...

tom bombariffic · 10-06-2003, 09:28 AM

Thanks guys! I did have the extra clue of it just being to do with 1 person though...

Anyway, my tolkien knowledge pales in insignificance compared to most barrow-downers', so its probably really easy, but i've given it a shot:

HELM'S DEEP
MINAS TIRITH
ISENGARD
THE SHIRE

I know two of the answers were in the last question, so please don't heckle me for lack of imagination!

[ October 06, 2003: Message edited by: tom bombariffic ]

Lord of Angmar · 10-06-2003, 10:06 AM

This seems a bit of a stretch, but Theoden, Legolas and Gimli went to all of these locales at some point but the Shire.

tom bombariffic · 10-06-2003, 11:19 AM

They did indeed! However, good guess as it was, I'm afraid its not the answer I was thinking of. That really would have been a bit TOO similar to the last quesiton wouldn't it?

But keep trying! It's not that hard.

Telchar · 10-06-2003, 01:58 PM

The Shire was not made by the people og Gondor, maybe?

tom bombariffic · 10-06-2003, 02:40 PM

'Fraid not. Perhaps a little clue would be in order....Well maybe later. Best not to be hasty, eh? Hoom hoom.

(by the way that's not a clue)

BOmbariffic

Meneltarmacil · 10-06-2003, 04:35 PM

Is it Minas Tirith because Saruman never tried to take it over?

Isengard was given to him.
He took over the Shire.
He attempted to take over Helm's deep.

Gil-Galad · 10-06-2003, 04:57 PM

the route Boromir took didn't go by the Shire

Telchar · 10-06-2003, 05:32 PM

We never hear any story about ents seen in Minas Tirith.... remember cousin Andy

tom bombariffic · 10-07-2003, 10:49 AM

sorry, I'm afraid none of those was the answer I was looking for! I'll try and come up with a decent clue a bit later!

keep guessing

Bombariffic

Estanesse · 10-07-2003, 04:52 PM

Is the odd place out the Shire, because it was founded in the third age?

Gil-Galad · 10-07-2003, 06:39 PM

The Shire was built on land that belonged too Arnor, so when the Halfings came, the king of Arnor granted them land in return for thier allegiance, so th Shire sent some archers they never saw again... so the Shire is the odd place out becasue it beloned to Arnor, only oen htat sent aid too Arnor before its downfall and i'll think of more....

tom bombariffic · 10-08-2003, 09:48 AM

sorry, neither were what I was looking for, so here's a clue:

You could substitute Isengard for Weathertop.

let's see where that gets you!

Bombariffic

Telchar · 10-08-2003, 10:02 AM

There was never a Palantiri in the Shire?

tom bombariffic · 10-08-2003, 10:38 AM

sorry, still not it!

Mr B

Telchar · 10-08-2003, 10:50 AM

And here I thought my answer was so damn clever!!! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 10-08-2003, 10:53 AM

Helm's Deep is the only place where the Nazgul did not come looking for the Ring.

tom bombariffic · 10-08-2003, 11:47 AM

that may be true, but still not what I want!

I thought weathertop was quite a good clue, cos there aren't many things that we know about it!

well, good luck!

Bombariffic

Meneltarmacil · 10-08-2003, 01:29 PM

The Shire never had a tower.

tom bombariffic · 10-08-2003, 01:52 PM

sorry, not it!

need another clue?
