This is just for questions about the Númenóreans. Please post questions and answers in Bold

Much as it may surprise you, Gil, I do not lurk on-line every hour of the day. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Actually, the other thread is for questions on the people of Numenor, whereas this looks to be a trivia game about Numenor generally. Although this one will inevitably involve questions about the people of Numenor, there is nevertheless a difference. Since it is not a duplicate, therefore, I will leave this thread open.

So, nobody's question stands (if you take my meaning [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Lord of Angmar · 01-05-2004, 06:52 PM

Earendur?

nobody · 01-06-2004, 04:37 AM

Yes. You can ask questions about Númenórean women here and questions about Númenórë itself here, like its geography, the places in it and other names for it etc.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 01-07-2004, 02:08 AM

Sorry to put myself at risk of sounding a smartarse, but what about questions on Numenorian men?

Silmarien · 02-01-2004, 08:03 PM

May I ask a question since Lord of Angmar hasn't .
What was given to Erendis as a betrothal gift?

Thorongil · 02-02-2004, 06:47 AM

A diamond?

Silmarien · 02-03-2004, 04:56 PM

Sorry no that was given to her before they became betrothed.

Iaurhirwen · 02-03-2004, 07:37 PM

As a betrothal gift, Erendis was givin a portion of land in Emerie, where was built for her a white house.

Silmarien · 02-04-2004, 04:27 AM

Well done Iaurhirwen! The thread is yours.

Iaurhirwen · 02-04-2004, 10:30 PM

Oh, WoW! The first time I ever answer a question on the Downs and I get it right [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
*Starts hyperventalating*

Anyhoo . . . . .
During what year did Sauron move and erect a stronghold in the land now known as Mordor to counteract the Númenórean landings at Harad?

Finwe · 02-04-2004, 10:57 PM

The year 1000 of the Second Age?

Iaurhirwen · 02-04-2004, 10:59 PM

Yep

You're up

The Perky Ent · 02-16-2004, 08:32 PM

Hate to be a negative ned, or in this case a negative ent, but...10 DAY RULE!!!! New question: How many Numenorian KINGS started their name with TAR?

Iaurhirwen · 02-16-2004, 10:23 PM

I think I got them all: 15

The Perky Ent · 02-17-2004, 04:28 PM

Um...i don't think so. Doulbe check. If you can prove me wrong, it's your go. Otherwise, someone please give the correct answer!

Iaurhirwen · 02-17-2004, 09:46 PM

1. Tar-Amandil
2. Tar-Elendil
3. Tar-Meneldur
4. Tar-Aldarion
5. Tar-Anárion
6. Tar-Súrton
7. Tar-Minastir
8. Tar-Ciryatan
9. Tar-Antanimar the Great
10. Tar-Ancalimon
11. Tar-Telemmaitë
12. Tar-Alcarin
13. Tar-Calmacil
14. Tar-Palantir – who changed his name from Ar-Inziladûn

I wasn’t sure if you were including Elros Tar-Minyatur in that group. If so, 15, if not 14. If I still didn’t get it, hint please as to what I’m missing.

Arvedui III · 02-24-2004, 06:27 PM

*Bump*

I think Iaurhirwen has it.

Iaurhirwen · 02-24-2004, 06:35 PM

Ok, I'm back

Now for a question . . . . . . .

What was the name of the Númenorean king who first sent aid to Gil-Galad and what was his number in secession (i.e. 1st king, 2nd king)

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-24-2004, 09:35 PM

Was it Tar-Minastir, 11th King of Numenor?

Iaurhirwen · 02-24-2004, 09:44 PM

Correct. Your turn.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-25-2004, 05:55 PM

Rangers of the North wore what on their left shoulder? Full description, please.

Gil-Galad · 02-25-2004, 10:40 PM

sorry i beleive yoru question is un-orthodox, Numenorean, even though rangers wre numenore, they weren't called that, so plz stick with numenore

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-26-2004, 08:25 AM

I think that this thread can afford to be a little flexible, so let's go ahead with this question.

Please try to keep the questions more directly related to Númenor in the future, though.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-26-2004, 07:09 PM

Sorry all. Thanks for the leniency, Saucepan Man.

Arvedui III · 02-28-2004, 07:49 PM

Soo...I'm assuming we can answer this one.

The Dunedain wore silver, five-pointed stars on their left shoulders if I remember aright.

Nirvana II · 02-28-2004, 08:18 PM

uhhh.....i thought it was the symbol of Arnor...which i cannot remember

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-29-2004, 08:52 AM

You got it, Arvedui. A silver star shaped like a rayed star.

Note: next time it is my turn...I will extend an enormous effort to stay within guidelines of the thread!

Arvedui III · 03-03-2004, 06:46 PM

Thanks. Ok, sticking with Numenor now...

Which Numenorian King first spoke out against the ban of the Valar?

Iaurhirwen · 03-03-2004, 06:50 PM

That would be Tar-Atanamir

Arvedui III · 03-13-2004, 09:45 AM

Corect.

Iaurhirwen · 03-13-2004, 11:39 AM

I'm sick and to tired to look for a hard one so:

What was Elros's high-elven name?

Miriel · 03-13-2004, 11:53 AM

Hope you feel better soon...

And, his king-name was Tar-Minyatur. Or maybe you're looking for Elerossë, his name in Quenya?

Gil-Galad · 03-13-2004, 11:53 AM

Tar-Minatar(sp?) is his numernorean name... isn't elros his high-elven name though?

Iaurhirwen · 03-13-2004, 11:56 AM

Miriel has it.

Miriel · 03-13-2004, 12:11 PM

Well, I can't think of anything, so I'll give you a nice easy one.

Who called Ancalimë 'great eyes'?

Silmarien · 03-16-2004, 03:10 AM

Would that be Hallacar?

Miriel · 03-16-2004, 11:11 AM

Nope.

symestreem · 03-22-2004, 07:17 PM

Is it Aldarion?
