Who was chosen by the Valar to be the Moon's pilot?
(Well... pilot is probably not the right word for it - but i think "Driver of the moon" sounds awfull)

Telchar · 02-04-2002, 04:18 AM

Tilion - a Bowman that followed Oromë

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-04-2002, 04:23 AM

Yes... Your turn...!

Telchar · 02-06-2002, 02:19 AM

What is the greatest work of the Valar in ME?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-06-2002, 07:48 AM

Could it be the two lamps of the Valar Illuin and Ormal?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-06-2002, 07:48 AM

Could it be the two lamps of the Valar Illuin and Ormal?

Telchar · 02-07-2002, 02:00 AM

NO - This thing was made by one of them alone.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 04:52 AM

Varda's making of the stars.

Telchar · 02-07-2002, 06:24 AM

Correct - Proceed, please [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 04:10 PM

Easy one, here.
Who or what are Yavanna's children?

Telchar · 02-08-2002, 04:02 AM

I'll venture the olvar and the kelvar - although I've never heard a refference to them as the 'children' of Yavanna. ??

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-08-2002, 05:37 AM

That is the answer I was looking for, Telchar. Perhaps my choice of words wasn't the best, I apologize.

Telchar · 02-08-2002, 10:01 AM

No need [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - anyway :

What was the mannish name for Oromë that was used in Gondor at the end of the 3rd Age?

Meriadoc · 02-08-2002, 01:50 PM

Aldaron, Araw or Tauron, I'm not sure, sorry

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-08-2002, 02:02 PM

my guess would be Aldaron or Lord of the Trees...?

Elrian · 02-08-2002, 06:27 PM

Araw? Wasn't Boromir's horn made from the Kine of Araw?

Telchar · 02-14-2002, 05:50 AM

Araw is correct [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - Take it away!

Elrian · 02-15-2002, 09:09 AM

Which of the Vala is known for growing golden flowers in Valinor?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-15-2002, 11:02 AM

Arien...

Quote:

In the days of the Trees Arien had tended the golden flowers

Elrian · 02-17-2002, 05:40 AM

No, Arien is not a Valar.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 07:38 AM

It wasn't Arien, she didn't grow the flowers, she tended them. If you keep reading in the same sentence quoted above, you will see that

Quote:

In the days of the Trees Arien had tended the golden flowers in the gardens of Vána ...

So, the anser is Vána. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Elrian · 02-18-2002, 05:54 AM

Right again Bruce, your turn.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-18-2002, 12:33 PM

Where does Estë sleep?

Joy · 02-19-2002, 01:05 AM

In the gardens of Lorién??

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-19-2002, 01:14 AM

No. I'm looking for specifics here.

Joy · 02-19-2002, 01:21 AM

Found it. I knew that I read it just a couple of days ago.

Orald · 02-19-2002, 01:24 AM

Curses! Beat me by a second, why did i spell check

Joy · 02-19-2002, 01:26 AM

This is too funny. We were both tying at the same time. To bad that I type 70 word per minute. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] But, if Bruce will allow, I will let you have at it. I do not know much about the Valiar.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-19-2002, 01:55 AM

That is correct. I'll let you two figure out who asks the next one. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

To resurrect this thread back into being:
What are the 7 titles given to Varda?

Joy · 05-28-2002, 01:54 AM

Ah, Elrian, I have learned much since that last post LOL [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The 7 titles of Varda are as follows:

Elberth
Star-kindler
Lady of the Stars
Elentári
Gilthoniel
Tintallë
Queen of the Stars

Elrian · 05-28-2002, 02:27 AM

You got 5 out of 7 [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 05-28-2002, 02:03 PM

Hope you don't mind that I take a try at this:

-Elbereth
-Gilthoniel
-Elentari
-The Kindler
-Lady of the Stars
-Queen of the Stars
-Tintalle

Joy put like the same ones so I'll put in Queen of the Valar aaaaand I don't know, let's use her own name-Varda. Or spouse of Manwe. I'm like cheating the rules!!!! Sorry [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] lol.

Elrian · 05-28-2002, 04:06 PM

No, sorry.

Lómelindi · 05-28-2002, 04:28 PM

I'm just putting all the names by which she's called, and hopefully some of them will be correct.

~ Elbereth
~ Elentári
~ Gilthoniel
~ The Kindler
~ Lady of the Stars
~ Queen of the Stars
~ Tintallë
~ "The Exalted"
~ "The Lofty"
~ one of the Queens of the Valar
~ Spouse of Manwë
