WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME! To the greatest game show on the Elven Network. I am your host, Galadel Vinorel, and I will guiding you through this fun and exciting game.

This is how it works. I will begin the game by asking a qustion. Whoever gets it right first may ask the next question. So on, and so forth.

Quote:

Rules for the Questions~

Questions must only be about Elven Trivia: such as Elven folklore, Elven places, Elven people, Elven mythology, and other such elven topics.

For every question that you get right you will recieve one point. These totals will be totaled and scored each week. At the end of the month whoever has the highest score will recieve the privelege to begin the next month with the first question and will be scored in the Elven Hall of Fame. Hopefully, we may even have some tournaments between players if this game becomes large enough.

Galadel Vinorel · 03-19-2004, 10:19 AM

This first one is an Elven "mythology" question.

Quote:

Who is said to be the Queen of the Stars by the Elves?

Good luck to you all!

NightKnight · 03-19-2004, 10:21 AM

That was Elbereth Gilthoniel, or Varda.

Galadel Vinorel · 03-22-2004, 10:21 AM

Correct! Correct!

Now you may proceed with the questioning NigthKnight.

*Note the scoreboard has now been edited.

NightKnight · 03-22-2004, 10:57 AM

Very well...

What were the elves that stayed at Cuivienen called?

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-22-2004, 12:22 PM

The Avari.

NightKnight · 03-22-2004, 12:43 PM

Correct, one point to you and your turn.

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-22-2004, 06:37 PM

An island was used by Ulmo to transport elves over the sea to Valinor.
Where did a piece of this island break off and what name was it given?

symestreem · 03-22-2004, 07:05 PM

The piece broke off at the shaols at the mouth of the Sirion, and it was called the Isle of Balar.

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-22-2004, 07:17 PM

Correct, your turn.

Arvedui III · 04-03-2004, 09:57 AM

This thread should not die. At least it should not die alone, unaided.

symestreem · 04-03-2004, 11:58 AM

Sorry!
Who was the first half-elven?

Thorongil · 04-03-2004, 01:18 PM

Earendil?

The Perky Ent · 04-03-2004, 04:58 PM

Is it Dior?

symestreem · 04-03-2004, 06:46 PM

Nope.

Firefoot · 04-03-2004, 06:53 PM

Lúthien!

The Perky Ent · 04-04-2004, 09:33 AM

Could it be Elros?

symestreem · 04-04-2004, 03:36 PM

Firefoot has it!!
Actually, Luthien, Earendil and the Dol Amroth guy (Galdor?) were the only true half-elven.

Firefoot · 04-04-2004, 03:44 PM

Okay, at the end of the Third Age, who was the oldest Elf living in Middle-earth?

By the way, who is keeping track of scoring?

Fingolfin II · 04-04-2004, 04:32 PM

Cirdan?

Firefoot · 04-04-2004, 04:35 PM

Quite correct.

Fingolfin II · 04-04-2004, 04:44 PM

I think Galadel is keeping track.

Anyway, which two elves were "unfriends forever"?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-05-2004, 12:22 AM

My grandfather's demented half-brother (Fëanor) and my darling aunt (Galadriel)

Fingolfin II · 04-05-2004, 12:25 AM

Haha, yes.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-05-2004, 12:31 AM

He is the King of Elves (and my godfather

).

Evisse the Blue · 04-05-2004, 01:38 AM

Ingwe?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-05-2004, 01:59 AM

Yes!

Evisse the Blue · 04-05-2004, 02:16 AM

What did the Sickle of the Valar mean for the Elves?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-05-2004, 02:20 AM

A sign for the fall of Morgoth?

Evisse the Blue · 04-05-2004, 02:25 AM

Your go. (you got 2 points so far!)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-05-2004, 02:29 AM

The brother of Elwë and Olwë.

Evisse the Blue · 04-05-2004, 02:35 AM

Elmo

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-07-2004, 03:02 AM

He, I believe, became a famous muppet after the Third Age.

Two points so far for you.

Evisse the Blue · 04-08-2004, 12:25 AM

What was the name given to Finrod by Beor?

Fingolfin II · 04-08-2004, 01:07 AM

Nom, meaning Wisdom.

Evisse the Blue · 04-08-2004, 01:10 AM

Correct!

Fingolfin II · 04-08-2004, 01:17 AM

Here's an easy one:

If Fëanor's House wasn't 'Dispossessed' of the Kingship of the Noldor, who would have been High King of the Noldor at the end of the First Age?

Firefoot · 04-08-2004, 05:46 AM

Maedhros?

Thorongil · 04-08-2004, 08:06 AM

Didn't all of Feanor's sons die? If they did, would it be Celebrimbor?

The Perky Ent · 04-08-2004, 03:11 PM

Well, actually, Maglor threw the simaril into the sea and wanders the beaches, so i guess Maglor is the answer. So, although Celebrimbor is probably the answer, i must stick to Maglor!
