I suppose I'll give it to you, but it's not entirely correct...
The army of Gondor actually had more infantry than cavalry, but the cavalry was the decicive factor in the battle. It says that the infantry was winning the battle already when the cavalry came down upon the flank of the Witch Kings army, which made it a rout. Glorfindel did contribute, but it was mostly the cavalry of Gondor that made the battle so decisive.

Finwe · 07-17-2003, 08:57 AM

Oh, I forgot about the infantry! Poor men, always getting forgotten! Anyway, here goes:

Who was the last King standing in the last battle of a mountain?

Dior · 07-17-2003, 09:20 AM

Dain Ironfoot

Finwe · 07-17-2003, 09:44 AM

Yep. Your go!

Dior · 07-17-2003, 10:35 AM

What son of the house of Hador was killed by an orc arrow through the eye in the Fifth Battle (that we know of)?

Finwe · 07-17-2003, 10:57 AM

Huor.

Dior · 07-17-2003, 11:08 AM

ya, that was really easy, but I couldn't think of a riddle-y one.

Dior · 07-20-2003, 12:24 AM

are ye coming back? it's your turn...

Finwe · 07-21-2003, 02:24 PM

Ah, ok, right.

In which Battle would all the heroes of the Men be avenged?

Lord of Angmar · 07-21-2003, 02:32 PM

The Final Battle

Lord of Angmar · 07-21-2003, 03:05 PM

At the memory of what battle do the Dwarves weep and the Orcs shudder?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-21-2003, 06:38 PM

Lord of Angmar, you should wait until your answer has been confirmed as correct before asking the next question (see the Quiz Room rules.)

So please wait until Finwe has confirmed whether or not your answer to her question is correct before proceeding. If she hasn't confirmed within a day or so, then you can always PM her.

Finwe · 07-23-2003, 05:44 PM

Well, actually, Lord of Angmar was right, so I guess he can indeed continue.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-29-2003, 07:12 AM

Just so there's no confusion, Lord of Angmar's question is:

At the memory of what battle do the Dwarves weep and the Orcs shudder?

gilraën · 07-29-2003, 07:25 AM

Azanulbizar?

Lindolirian · 12-10-2003, 09:33 PM

Ah ah! Here's a game I miss. Harumph...Must be Pan Man's fault. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Heck I'll take it

In what battle was "survivor of the battle" slain?

Finwe · 12-10-2003, 10:14 PM

Battle of Helm's Deep?

Lindolirian · 12-11-2003, 02:50 PM

Nope.

Telchar · 12-11-2003, 04:06 PM

Battle of the Peak ?

Lindolirian · 12-11-2003, 04:36 PM

Nope. The name of the guy who died in this certain battle means "survivor of the battle" if that helps any.

Finwe · 12-17-2003, 10:53 AM

Battle of Pelennor Fields?

Finwe · 12-21-2003, 02:21 PM

*bump*

Lindolirian · 12-21-2003, 08:10 PM

Sorry about the delay; you are correct.

Lindolirian · 01-03-2004, 12:17 PM

Ahem... Go ahead Finwe.

Finwe · 01-03-2004, 01:36 PM

Right-o! Just because I feel like being difficult, this question is going to be a riddle:

We are partially rabbits,
Famous for bringing chocolate,
We are partially children,
Or an old tea-drinker's word for them,
We were named for our transports,
Our nassty, nassty transports,
Killed a king we did,
Killed his son we did,
And killed his other son who came along,
Yet killed were we, rather disgracefully,
While getting drunk, and drinking some more,
The place we died is something scouts do,
Oh woe are we, Oh woe are we.

Try making sense out of that one. The answer that I'm looking for is the battle where the answer to the riddle was slain.

nobody · 01-03-2004, 02:10 PM

I think it was the Battle of the Camp or something like that.

Finwe · 01-03-2004, 03:21 PM

Yes indeed. Your go.

Gil-Galad · 01-03-2004, 06:34 PM

nobody · 01-13-2004, 11:27 AM

Sorry about that. I have exams. Which war was going on when the entwives were lost? Should be easy.

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-13-2004, 12:06 PM

The War of the Last Alliance?

nobody · 01-15-2004, 12:19 PM

No it was before that.

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-15-2004, 12:38 PM

I just found a quote:

Quote:

I remember it was long ago - in the time of the war between Sauron and the Men of the Sea ...

.
Could it be the war between Sauron and the Kings of Numenor, although I don't recall its exact name? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

nobody · 01-17-2004, 03:49 PM

Yes correct

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-17-2004, 04:03 PM

In which battle did Eorl ride to aid Cirion?

NightKnight · 01-18-2004, 04:53 AM

The Battle of Celebrant?

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-18-2004, 05:14 AM

Correct. Your go NightKnight.

NightKnight · 01-18-2004, 11:36 AM

In what battle did Ancalagon meet his doom?

Lindolirian · 01-18-2004, 01:45 PM

The War of Wrath in which he was slain by Earendil.

NightKnight · 01-19-2004, 11:21 AM

Yup, please continue.

Lindolirian · 01-22-2004, 06:09 PM

Name the battles in which one or more Balrog was present.
