First Age Trivia - Page 9 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estanesse · 04-20-2003, 04:54 PM

It's Before the Dagor Aglareb(75 FA )
and after the Journey of Turgon and Finrod(50 FA)

So I guess that Thingol forbid the Sindar to speak Quenya circa 65 years First age

Beren87 · 04-21-2003, 11:23 PM

Good Job! Just when I thought I had made a difficult question too. Your turn.

Estanesse · 04-23-2003, 08:19 AM

Thank you.
How many Noldor High Kings were there in the first age and name them.

Lindolirian · 04-23-2003, 08:52 AM

If you are including the Years of the Trees in the First Age, then there are five. Finwë, Fëanor, Fingolfin, Fingon, and Erenion Gil-Galad. If you you are refering to the First Age counted from the first rising of the Sun, then there are three. Fingolfin, Fingon, and Gil-Galad.

Estanesse · 04-23-2003, 08:59 AM

I'm referring to the First Age counted from the first rising of the Sun,
but sorry your answer is not correct

Lindolirian · 04-23-2003, 09:07 AM

GASP!!! Being away from the books for 40 days has depleted my knowledge. I think I forgot Turgon. so.. FOUR!

gosh i think i'll die of humiliation if i get this wrong...

Estanesse · 04-23-2003, 09:19 AM

hehe your right of course [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The floor is yours

Lindolirian · 04-23-2003, 09:28 AM

What was the name of the man who told Beleg of a man who saved his daughter?

Estanesse · 04-23-2003, 11:47 AM

Is it Larnach
But was it not Larnach’s daughter self who told about the man who saved her

[ April 23, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

Lindolirian · 04-23-2003, 04:01 PM

Technically yes, but I was going to say the guy who told Beleg about Turin's whereabouts, but I thought that was too easy...

Go for it.

Estanesse · 04-24-2003, 10:39 AM

Who decided who would be the first lord of Ladros and who was the first lord?

Lindolirian · 04-24-2003, 03:11 PM

Boromir was given Ladros by Fingolfin.

Estanesse · 04-24-2003, 03:29 PM

Sorry that’s not the right answer [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 04-24-2003, 10:33 PM

My my Lind., just not your day is it.

Actually, that's strange. You would think it would be given by the same elf who gave Dor-Lomin to Hador Lorindol, which would be Figolfin. [Both gifts are given in the same paragraph in The Silm]. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Finarfin.

Whatever the answer is, I'd like to know where you go it.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-24-2003, 11:16 PM

Ladros was given to Boromir by Finrod Felagund, I believe. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia

Estanesse · 04-25-2003, 08:33 AM

It seems that I made a mistake. I thought that Fingon was the answer, Boromir was born after Dagor Bragollach ( 6 generation of men but Boromir is 4 the generation of men [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ).
So I have looked a bit more accurate in the Sil and found this

From the northern slopes of Dorthonion Angrod and Aegnor, sons of Finarfin, looked out over the fields of Ard-galen, and were the vassals of their brother Finrod, lord of Nargothrond

To look out over the fields of Ard-galen you have to be in possession of Ladros.

I think Sophia the Thunder Mistress answer is the most likely one.

No, Beren, it certainly isn't. I think I need to hit the books again. I always to these questions from memory, but I spose I'll be looking them up for a little while. O, my this is bad... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-25-2003, 04:10 PM

Who was Eilinel?

Eruanna · 04-25-2003, 04:33 PM

She was the wife of Gorlim the Unhappy! Used as bait to trick him into betraying Barahir.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-25-2003, 04:36 PM

Indeed she was...

Eruanna · 04-26-2003, 05:32 PM

OK, nice easy one:

Who was Teleporno? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-26-2003, 08:03 PM

The somewhat disturbing High-Elven name for Celeborn.

It rather begs the image of a seedy Elf with a pony-tail and droopy moustache arriving to "mend the washing machine" of a bored Elven housewife. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-27-2003, 12:49 AM

Eruanna · 04-27-2003, 08:59 AM

Lol [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's it exactly.....I'm glad he decided to stick with Celeborn......although, think of the lost opportunities for Middle Earth Mayhem! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-27-2003, 07:35 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Jackson would surely have had to change the name.

Telperion is referred to by three other names in the Silmarillion. What are they?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-27-2003, 07:49 PM

I've got Silpion and Ninquelote... is the third the White Tree?

Sophia

Lindolirian · 04-27-2003, 07:50 PM

Silpion, Ninquelótë, and the White Tree.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-27-2003, 08:10 PM

Sorry [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I usually only bother with the accents in the Books when I'm trying to look smart... they're too hard to remember codes for otherwise... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-27-2003, 09:04 PM

You're on the button, Sophia (I'm fast running out of new ways for saying "You are correct, Sophia). [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The accent codes don't work for me and it's far too clumsy doing a cut and paste with the symbols on Word, so I don't use them either.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-27-2003, 09:12 PM

lol... I know Saucepan Man, it gets real old when you try to say, "You're right" "Yes" "Correct" "Absolutely..." in a new way... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] oh well.

Anyway, as for a question, it comes in two parts:

A) what is the "rock of the music of water"?

B) what is the more common name for said rock?

Beren87 · 04-27-2003, 09:18 PM

Ondolindë which is the original name of Gondolin.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-28-2003, 06:06 PM

You are, of course, quite right, Beren

Many profuse apologies for the delay.

Sophia

Beren87 · 04-28-2003, 06:25 PM

Where did Aegnor and Angrod settle?

So, the northern slopes of Dorthonion. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 04-29-2003, 04:36 PM

Correct, and congrats on breaking the thousand posts, that's quite an achievement.

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-29-2003, 06:54 PM

Thanks Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And it only took 3 months too (mind you much of that was thanks to this forum).

What encounter, with tragic consequences, occurred at the Spyhill?

Lindolirian · 04-29-2003, 08:41 PM

Glaurung put his spell upon Nienor, who fell into a darkness of forgetfulness, ran to Turin and soon married him, not knowing he was her brother. She persuaded him to not go to war, and that encouraged Glaurung to seek Turin out instead of having Turin come to him. This brought ruin upon Brethil including the deaths of Hunthor, Brandir, Dorlas, Turin, and Nienor.

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-30-2003, 01:45 PM

Yup, that just about covers it ... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It was Glaurung and Nienor that I was looking for. You're up next, Lindolirian. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 04-30-2003, 03:17 PM

Who had a dream about Numenor 87 years (I think) before the Second Age?
