The War of Dwarves and Orcs?

Tar-Palantir · 03-04-2003, 02:07 PM

Well it was actually a bit less than 50 years, I am sorry for not double checking first.

The War of Wrath is the answer, approx. 42 years in length, ending with the destruction of Beleriand at the end of the First Age.

Feel free to take it whoever would like!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Faenaduial · 03-05-2003, 11:44 AM

Thanks Tar, that was a real stumper. Since we couldn't get it how about posting another!

Tar-Palantir · 03-05-2003, 01:35 PM

Ok,

In the Dagor Dagorath:
- who will be the enemy??
- what 3 will lead charge against him??
- and who will deliver the killing stroke??

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 02:59 PM

When was the Battle of Eriador, and who were the participants?

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:05 PM

1695-1699 Second Age, it was Sauron VS. the elves of Eregion, Lindon and Lothlorien, the dwarves of Moria and the men of Numenor.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:07 PM

Righty-ho! Hey check out Active Topics... It looks pretty funny with all of our rapid fire Q and A session we're having. It's like the Quiz Room is on fire

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:09 PM

Hehe, yeah. We are just sooo good.

In what battle was the first time someone broke through the gate of Minas Tirith, and who was it?

Tulkas the Mighty · 04-27-2004, 08:51 PM

Yay
In what battle was Marhari slain?

Lindolirian · 04-27-2004, 08:54 PM

Battle of the Plains

Tulkas the Mighty · 04-27-2004, 08:59 PM

Wow.. that was quick.

Lindolirian · 04-27-2004, 09:01 PM

Hey, we just happened to be online at the same time...

In what "battle" was Fredegar Bolger taken captive?

lathspell · 03-05-2003, 02:40 PM

The Enemy is Morgoth Bauglir
I don't rightly know this, but I thought: Turin, Eonwe and Fingolfin
Turin delivers the death stroke with his Black Sword, thus revenging his dreadful life.

Tar-Palantir · 03-05-2003, 03:26 PM

Good job, it's your turn lathspell.

The three were: Tulkas, Eönwë, Túrin

Nefwathiel Teleri · 03-05-2003, 05:37 PM

c'mon, ask a question

Beren87 · 03-05-2003, 06:06 PM

Welcome Nefwathiel! By the noble rules of this room, lathspell has 10 days to respond.

lathspell · 03-06-2003, 02:59 PM

Alrighty then
here the new question:

What battle did Gandalf remind the Hobbits off, that they should remember?

greetings,
lathspell

Elfhelm · 03-06-2003, 03:06 PM

Was it the Battle of Dale?

lathspell · 03-07-2003, 03:53 PM

I don't exactly know the name of it, but I think you mean the right battle.
please proceed

Elfhelm · 03-07-2003, 04:48 PM

Who was the only survivor of the Disaster of the Gladden Fields?

Faenaduial · 03-07-2003, 10:37 PM

Was it Ohtar?

Legolas · 03-08-2003, 12:56 AM

There were three survivors. Ohtar, his companion, and Estelmo.

From Unfinished Tales:

Quote:

There were eye-witnesses of the event. Ohtar and his companion escaped, bearing with them the shards of Narsil. The tale mentions a young man who survived the slaughter: he was Elendur's esquire, named Estelmo, and was one of the last to fall, but was stunned by a club, and not slain, and was found alive under Elendur's body.

Nefwathiel Teleri · 03-08-2003, 12:02 PM

Beren87, you can take your advice and shove it where the sun dont shine. I ve been on here almost as long as you so screw off!

Tar-Palantir · 03-08-2003, 01:27 PM

lathspell · 03-08-2003, 09:53 PM

Still Beren87 is right, Nefwathiel. Just hold to the rules and people will proceed... usually.

There's a differance in being here and participating here. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] So just follow the rules and everyone can have a good time!

Now, Elfhelm has been gone for more than 10 days, even with my PMs he has not posted here, so it's anyone's turn.

Faenaduial · 03-17-2003, 07:57 PM

Glad to see your back Beren87. Hope all is okay. Let's try this one:

In what Battle was an elf, who had been enslaved in Angband and escaped, slain?

Annunfuiniel · 03-18-2003, 02:31 AM

That would be the Battle of Tumhalad, if I remember correctly. And the elf that was mortally wounded was Gwindor.

Faenaduial · 03-18-2003, 12:13 PM

Correct Annunfuiniel. The floor is yours.

Annunfuiniel · 03-18-2003, 01:58 PM

Thanks, Feanaduial!
Name four Battles (specifically named Battle[s]) in which no elf took part.

Beren87 · 03-18-2003, 04:23 PM

Battle of the Gladden Fields (Massacre of Isildur)
Battle of the Hornburg (Saruman's army and the Rohirrim
Battle of the Peak (Gandalf and the Balrog)
Battle of Bywater! (Last battle of WR in the Shire)

Annunfuiniel · 03-19-2003, 04:15 AM

Hi, Beren, nice to see you're back! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
But to the answer you gave...you got 2 out of four right.
Battle of the Gladden Fields is usually referred to as Disaster of the G.F.
And the Battle of Hornburg...well: Saruman's forces vs. Rohirrim+Aragorn, Gimli& Legolas
Yes, I'm picky! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-19-2003, 05:49 AM

OK, how about:

Battle of the Peak (Gandalf and the Balrog)
Battle of Bywater! (Last battle of WR in the Shire)

plus

Battle of Anulzibar (sorry, haven't got my book handy to check the spelling) - Dwarves and Goblins/Orcs

Battle of the Ford of Isen - Saruman's forces and Rohirrim.

Annunfuiniel · 03-19-2003, 06:34 AM

That is a valid answer, Saucepan Man, congrats! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img](the spelling:Azanulbizar)
Two other battles that would have been correct were the Battle of Greenfield (hobbits and orcs, TA 2747) and
the Battle of the Powers (between Valar and Melkor soon after awakening of the elves).

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-19-2003, 03:45 PM

Thank you, Annunfuiniel.

OK, an easy one. Name four battles featuring Hobbits. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

lathspell · 03-19-2003, 03:50 PM

Battle of the Five Armies
Battle of Helm's Deep
Battle of the Pelennor Fields
Battle of the Greenfields (sp?) the battle when the Bullroarer invented golf is meant here.

And - Battle near Morannon

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-19-2003, 04:03 PM

Hobbits at Helm's Deep?

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

Beren87 · 03-19-2003, 05:00 PM

Battle of the Five Armies
Battle of Bywater
Battle of the Pelennor Fields
Battle of the Greenfields
Battle of Fornost (The Shire sent a company of bowmen...err...bow-hobbits.)

And actually the Battle of Gladden Fields is called by that name in quite a few places. With the number of men involved it really is considered a battle but oh well.

[ March 19, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-20-2003, 11:47 AM

Congrats, Beren87. I must admit, I'd forgotten about the Battle of Fornost, which is why I was only asking for four ...

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

lathspell · 03-20-2003, 01:02 PM
