Your go alak.

Thanks Beren, I seemingly misplaced this thread. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Who was the first to use symbols or signs to record song and speech?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-18-2003, 12:06 AM

Was it Rumil the Loremaster perhaps?

alaklondewen · 05-18-2003, 08:56 AM

Another night without sleep, Sophia? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

You are correct, please carry on.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-18-2003, 01:41 PM

Who quotes Rumil saying that the Valarin tongue sounds

Quote:

like the glitter of long swords, like the rush of leaves in a great wind or the fall of stones in the mountains.

?

I'm tired and I am not in the mood for research, so I will guess at Pengolodh.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-19-2003, 08:36 PM

Your guess is apparenly as good as research, Pengolodh it was. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Who searched for Elrond's uncles in the woods?

Annunfuiniel · 05-21-2003, 09:37 AM

Maedhros searched for Eluréd and Elurín from the woods of Doriath - with no success. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

~Annun

Lindolirian · 05-21-2003, 04:53 PM

I know... that was so sad. Anyway, your go.

Annunfuiniel · 06-01-2003, 12:19 PM

This thread is open for anyone who has a question to ask - I have no time for quizing at the moment.

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 12:41 PM

I will ask a question if no one minds.

Who was Elemmakil?

Lasgalen · 06-03-2003, 03:34 PM

Captain of the guard of the first gate in Gondolin and a friend of Voronwe.

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 04:37 PM

Splendid! Your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lasgalen · 06-03-2003, 05:07 PM

Who wrote the Lament of the Two Trees?

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 05:26 PM

The Aldudénië was composed by a Vanyarin Elf named Elemmirë.

Lasgalen · 06-03-2003, 06:45 PM

Correct. (That was fast)

Eruanna · 06-04-2003, 12:18 PM

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

Name three kinds of tree that grew in Númenor.

alaklondewen · 06-04-2003, 06:31 PM

There were oiolairë, lairelossë, nessamelda, vardarianna, taniquelassë, yavannamirë, or malinornë. Of course there were also simple fir, beech, birch, and oak trees. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 06-05-2003, 10:31 AM

I guess one can never have too many trees. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your go.

alaklondewen · 06-05-2003, 05:42 PM

Thank you, Eruanna.

Explain the 'Ban of the Valar'.

Lasgalen · 06-06-2003, 02:09 AM

Mortals were not allowed to enter the Undying Lands so the Valar banned Númenóreans from sailing so far west that they could not see their coast anymore.

alaklondewen · 06-06-2003, 05:34 PM

Lasgalen, welcome to the Downs...you are correct! Please carry on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lasgalen · 06-07-2003, 04:25 AM

Who forged Turin's black sword?

Eruanna · 06-07-2003, 06:52 AM

Originally made by Eol, it was reforged for Turin by the smiths of Nargothrond.

Lasgalen · 06-07-2003, 04:45 PM

Correct you are.

Eruanna · 06-08-2003, 06:48 AM

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

By what name did Brodda of the Easterlings call the people of Hador, whom he had made his slaves?

gilraën · 06-08-2003, 10:10 AM

Strawheads?

Eruanna · 06-08-2003, 05:14 PM

That's right. Please carry on gilraen [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-13-2003, 08:37 PM

I apologise for ignoring this topic, but as I'm off to France for 3 weeks in the morning and unlikely to get online within that time I forfeit my go [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 07:40 AM

Since I have a question, I'll ask it [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img].

Feanor's second son was considered second best at what and to whom?

Finwe · 06-25-2003, 09:42 AM

Second best at singing/music and he was considered second best to Daeron, the Minstrel of Doriath.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-25-2003, 09:04 PM

Perfection, Finwe.

Finwe · 06-26-2003, 09:01 PM

Ah, excellent! Wonderful! It is comforting to know that I know my son's family.

He became second-best after a one who lost something later came in. He took the coward's path, yet became famed throughout history for what he was best at.

Telchar · 06-28-2003, 06:53 PM

Maglor? Celebrimbor?

Finwe · 06-30-2003, 09:37 AM

Nope.

Finwe · 06-30-2003, 06:05 PM

All right, since no one seems to be getting this, I'll give you a hint.

HINT: He was one of the two most famous wanderers. (*coughcoughnottheistaricoughcough*)
