Both wrong. Maybe it isn't as easy as I thought. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Telchar · 11-07-2003, 04:31 PM

Alqualonde - because no one tried to take possesion of a Silmaril there....?

NightKnight · 11-08-2003, 09:15 AM

Nope.

Ohh my god! We have totally overlooked the obvious!!!

No slaying of elf by elf at Ascar! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Finally! Yes, that's it! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Telchar · 11-09-2003, 08:02 AM

Eglarest
Nargothrond
Menegroth
Gondolin
Brinthombar

NightKnight · 11-10-2003, 10:55 AM

Menegroth, the only that wasn't destroyed by Morgoth's forces.

Telchar · 11-10-2003, 02:20 PM

Bullseye! Continue pls [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

NightKnight · 11-11-2003, 12:47 PM

Gilrain
Serni
Sirith
Ciril

Lindolirian · 11-11-2003, 06:37 PM

Ciril is the only river not in the region of Lebennin.

NightKnight · 11-13-2003, 12:02 PM

Right you are. Go on! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 12-09-2003, 03:29 PM

Nargothrond
Helm's Deep
Lake Town
Thranduil's Palace

Finwe · 12-09-2003, 05:18 PM

Dwarves never lived for a long length of time, or were never held captive in Helm's Deep?

or

Dwarves never helped to defend any of the other places, except Helm's Deep.

Gil-Galad · 12-09-2003, 05:19 PM

Thranduils palace is only place not used as a refuge

Lindolirian · 12-09-2003, 06:36 PM

No and no.

Tuor Turambar,Cursed by the Valar · 12-11-2003, 04:08 PM

I'll just guess the obvious... Lake Town was not a cave. That is my guess

Lindolirian · 12-11-2003, 04:39 PM

Technically not all of Helm's Deep was either, so no.

HINT:
In my criteria for what is in common with the others, the Helm's Deep one is stretching it just a tad bit. (Quick look! I just gave it away the OPO isn't Helm's Deep [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

[ 9:58 PM December 12, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Gil-Galad · 12-12-2003, 07:27 PM

(I think you mean OPO)

NightKnight · 12-13-2003, 07:11 AM

Nargothrond wasn't attacked during WotR?

Gil-Galad · 12-13-2003, 01:52 PM

(There was no Nargothrond during WotR)

Helms deep was only place where 3 races defended together

Tuor Turambar,Cursed by the Valar · 12-13-2003, 01:52 PM

Nargothrond did not exist during the third age?

EXIT- Wait, then how is Helms deep stretching it?

Ignore this post, i messed up. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 12-13-2003, 02:09 PM

OK, I think I'm just gonna take Helm's Deep out since it seems to be confusing you all too much. The NEW list is:

Nargothrond
Lake Town
Thranduil's Palace

and it has little to do with dragons

[ 2:03 PM December 14, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Finwe · 12-13-2003, 02:45 PM

Lake Town is the only kingdom/principality never ruled by Elves.

Telchar · 12-13-2003, 07:27 PM

Thranduils Palace was never attacked by a dragon

Lindolirian · 12-14-2003, 01:03 PM

Ok so technically it has just a little bit of something to do with dragons, but ah heck I'll give it to ya. My reason was that They all had a bridge that was destroyed. In my old list Helm's Deep was stretching it because the Deeping Wall "bridged" the stream at the culvert and that part was destroyed. Then the new one was just a litte bit too easy, and I'm counting Dragons because at both Nargothrond and Lake Town the bridges were destroyed even tho Smaug didn't do it to Lake Town. Aye yi yi that was a bit looney. So anyway, if you can't understand anything above, it basically says, "Go, Telchar!"

Telchar · 12-14-2003, 04:59 PM

I think this one is a little hard, but you never know [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Tower of Cirith Ungol
Meduseld - NB! Changed from Earlier Barad Eithel.
The Prancing Pony
The House of Tom Bombadil
Bar-en-Danwedh

Sorry, I had to make a slight change...

[ 5:12 AM December 15, 2003: Message edited by: Telchar ]

Evisse the Blue · 12-15-2003, 02:47 AM

An obvious guess: The House of Bombadil is the only safe place, all others are associated with danger / treachery.

Telchar · 12-15-2003, 03:54 AM

Could be... thats not it though...

The Tower of Cirith Ungol
Meduseld - NB! Changed from Earlier Barad Eithel.

[ 5:13 AM December 15, 2003: Message edited by: Telchar ]

Finwe · 12-17-2003, 10:51 AM

Bar-en-Danwedh, because Dwarves lived there.

Telchar · 12-18-2003, 05:05 PM

nope - 'tis a toughy

Telchar · 12-22-2003, 07:46 PM

.... hmmmm if you could only see the light...

Finwe · 12-22-2003, 09:15 PM

The Tower of Cirith Ungol, because it was the only place where the light of a Silmaril shone (through the water in Galadriel's Phial, held by Sam).

Telchar · 12-23-2003, 03:30 AM

nope - four of them has something that the fifth didnt...

Telchar · 12-23-2003, 05:42 PM

But you did well Finwe in picking up un the 'light' hint ... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finwe · 12-23-2003, 08:45 PM

Bar-en-Danwedh, because no hallowed light ever shone there.

Telchar · 12-24-2003, 05:46 AM

Nope - and btw how do you define hallowed light in connection to the House of Tom Bombadil and The Prancing Pony ?

Finwe · 12-24-2003, 04:08 PM

No idea, it was a wild guess. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Telchar · 12-27-2003, 08:32 AM

For those who have seen ROK then there is a clue in the scene from The Tower of Cirith Ungol [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 12-29-2003, 06:06 PM

you mean ROTK right? well, cirith Ungol was the only place that orcs and uruk-hai fought each other...(in movie)

Telchar · 12-30-2003, 07:06 AM

... it still has to do with light [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
