So close. But maybe I should have been more specific. I was looking for people from Finwë's House, but I'll give it to you. The last one was Fingon during Nirnaeth.

In what battle was Gelmir killed?

NightKnight · 03-10-2004, 08:37 AM

Supposing you mean Gwindor's brother, he was killed just before Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

Lindolirian · 03-10-2004, 07:31 PM

Correct!

NightKnight · 03-11-2004, 01:58 PM

An easy one: Name the four battles of the Beleriand wars that were named.

symestreem · 03-11-2004, 04:59 PM

Dagor-nuin-Giliath; Dagor Agraleb; Dagor Bragollach; Nirnaeth Arnoediad

NightKnight · 03-12-2004, 07:07 AM

It was actually Aglareb, but I suppose that's what you mean. Your turn.

This thread should not die. At least it should not die alone, unaided.

Lindolirian · 03-22-2004, 08:47 PM

So don't let it die! It's been ten days y'know...

In the Battle of Pelennor Fields who led the archers against the Oliphaunts?

Finwe · 03-22-2004, 09:08 PM

Duilin and Derufin?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-22-2004, 09:09 PM

Duilin and Derufin.

Aw, Elf! Finwe, we cross-posted!

Finwe · 03-22-2004, 09:11 PM

Ha... well, I'm a minute ahead!

Lindolirian · 04-05-2004, 05:36 PM

Alright Nil, Finwë's been gone too long. It's your thread now since you also had the correct answer!

Finwe · 04-05-2004, 09:37 PM

Oops... sorry... completely forgot about this thread.... if Nil doesn't show up, can I go ahead and post a new one?

Lindolirian · 04-06-2004, 06:29 AM

Oh yeah, you popped up just in time! Nice...

Finwe · 04-06-2004, 06:36 PM

Haha... all right...

In the name of which battle was Niobe's stream involved?

This'll take a little knowledge about Greek mythology as well.

Nirnaeth Arnoediad
