Saruman, maybe?

Tar-Palantir · 02-02-2003, 01:47 AM

Treebeard is my guess. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 02-02-2003, 10:03 AM

Actually, both. But I was thinking of Saruman. It's Pallando's then.

Pallando B.C · 02-02-2003, 05:54 PM

What jagged peak forms a northern wall of the Hold of Dunharrow?

Ultimatejoe · 02-03-2003, 07:16 PM

The only peak I can think of is the haunted mountain Dwimorberg.

Pallando B.C · 02-04-2003, 04:16 AM

On the right track, but no.

Ultimatejoe · 02-04-2003, 09:26 AM

The northern "wall" of Dunharrow is the cliff-face; it isn't a peak.

Lindolirian · 02-06-2003, 05:49 PM

I believe that Dunharrow is at the conjunction of Starkhorn, Dwimorberg, and Irensaga. Not too sure, but I think it is Irensaga that forms the northern wall.

Pallando B.C · 02-06-2003, 05:51 PM

Right you are, Lindolirian.

Lindolirian · 02-06-2003, 05:57 PM

In sight of which city was Haramon?

Pallando B.C · 02-06-2003, 06:09 PM

Minas Tirith, since Haramon is Emyn Arnen.

Lindolirian · 02-06-2003, 06:11 PM

Correct, Pallando!

Pallando B.C · 02-06-2003, 06:18 PM

What's the name (in Khuzdul) of the source of the river Silverlode?

Lindolirian · 02-06-2003, 06:49 PM

Kheledzaram?

Pallando B.C · 02-06-2003, 07:13 PM

Not on the first go for once!

Lindolirian · 02-13-2003, 04:59 PM

Well, its in the valley of Azanuilbizar. Is that what you want. The only body of water I see there is Kheled-zaram, and can't quite tell, but it looks like the Silverlode flows out of it.

Pallando B.C · 02-14-2003, 04:16 PM

Ok, I'll re-phrase it a bit more:

What was the name given to the icy-cold source of the river Silverlode.

Hint: It rises from a natural well in the Vale of Azanulbizar.

Rochelle · 02-14-2003, 05:12 PM

It was mirrormere, The hallowed lake of Kheled-zâram.

It's been 10 days, but I think Tar-Palantir should take it.

Tar-Palantir · 02-24-2003, 01:55 PM

What most populous city of it's realm is surrounded by five 'stars'? And what are the names of those 'stars'?

elven maiden Earwen · 02-24-2003, 02:27 PM

The most popular city is Armenelos, and the five stars are Andustar, Forostar, Orrostar, Hyarrostar, and Hyarnustar in the relm of Numenore.

Tar-Palantir · 02-24-2003, 02:44 PM

That was fast, your gonna force me to be hard on you next time! Fire away Earwen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 02-24-2003, 03:56 PM

ok im sick so my brain isnt letting me think of any good questions so this is going to be easy.
What is the name of the lake in Mordor?

Rochelle · 02-24-2003, 04:40 PM

That would be the sea of Nurnen

Nothing wrong with easy questions!

elven maiden Earwen · 02-24-2003, 04:47 PM

Yay! your right.

Rochelle · 02-24-2003, 04:53 PM

Alrighty...

What was the name of the ford on the upper reaches of the River Aros?

Tar-Palantir · 02-24-2003, 07:55 PM

Arosslach?

Rochelle · 02-24-2003, 08:40 PM

Correct you are [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] You're up!

Pallando B.C · 02-25-2003, 01:48 AM

My apologies for earlier. I didn't realise someone had answered the question. Tar-Palantir was correct anyways.

Tar-Palantir · 02-25-2003, 10:54 AM

OK. thanks.

Which island is surrounded by water?

Rochelle · 02-25-2003, 11:40 AM

*lol* Aren't all islands surrounded by water?

Tar-Palantir · 02-25-2003, 12:05 PM

Sorry, my attempt at a little humor... I did say I was goin to give a tough one though! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ok, how about a little riddle thrown in?

I have been stepped on in the past
but truly conquered never
Tis not my protectors
far hearing and far sight
That keep the intrepid yonder
The roaring voice around me keeps most from the test
And men of the past do all of the rest

Where/What am I? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ February 25, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Lindolirian · 02-25-2003, 03:07 PM

Rauros.

Tar-Palantir · 02-25-2003, 03:56 PM

Soooooo close, Lindolirian. I can see my minor flaw, but have changed the wording so as not confuse - try again!

And for fun, can you name all the elements?

[ February 25, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Rochelle · 02-25-2003, 04:05 PM

I was heavily considering submitting Rauros myself! Hmm...perhaps its Emyn Muil?

I have been stepped on in the past
{It has been a pathway...}
but truly conquered never
{No true paths have been made...}
Tis not my protectors
far hearing and far sight
That keep the intrepid yonder
The roaring voice around me keeps most from the test
{Rauros...}
And men of the past do all of the rest
{The dead marshes...}

[ February 25, 2003: Message edited by: Rochelle ]

Lindolirian · 02-25-2003, 06:13 PM

I have never been stepped on in the past
(No one has ever set foot on Tol Brandir)
but truly conquered never
Tis not my protectors
far hearing and far sight
(Amon Hen and Lhaw)
That keep the intrepid yonder
The roaring voice around me keeps most from the test
Rauros)
And men of the past do all of the rest
(Dead Marshes)

I'm guessing Tol Brandir because no one has set foot upon it, and the roaring voice of Rauros is around it, and Amon Hen and Amon Lhaw are on either side. It also has a good view of the Dead Marshes.

It was that "My roaring voice" that made me think Rauros last time, but now the change makes me certain its Tol Brandir.

[ February 25, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Tar-Palantir · 02-25-2003, 06:54 PM

Very good Lindolirian! Your turn.

But you missed two clues:

I have been stepped on in the past
but truly conquered never
- men have walked on Tol Brandir, but the summit has never been reached, too steep

And men of the past do all of the rest
- the Argonath

Lindolirian · 02-26-2003, 06:14 PM

Into which bay does the Nunduinë flow?

Rochelle · 02-26-2003, 06:20 PM

Was it the Bay of Eldanna?
