Lord of Angmar · 01-04-2004, 11:01 AM

Yes, you do have to name the slayer, my mistake. Unfortunately, I cannot remember who his prophecized slayer would be, but I shall take a stab at it: Olorin?

nobody · 01-04-2004, 11:04 AM

Yes correct

Lord of Angmar · 01-04-2004, 11:08 AM

That was a nice question, nobody. Very tricksy.

Gil-Galad · 01-04-2004, 12:05 PM

fyi, he wasn't really killed, just made into a weaker spirit, since he was connected with the ring...

and when Numenore was destroyed, thats when sauron lost his first form and fled too mordor, so he was kinda killed then too, just made into a weaker spirit till his strength regained

It has already been agreed upon that Sauron never truly 'died' until he was slain in the Dagor Dagorath, and then for all intents and purposes he truly was 'dead.'

NightKnight · 01-30-2004, 05:10 AM

Nobody's been here for a while now, so I'll take it:

Who killed Curufinwë, and when?

Ruitha · 01-30-2004, 06:01 AM

Gothmog, during the Battle Under the Stars (Dagor-nuin-Giliath, the 2nd battle in the Wars of Beleriand), after he rode ahead of his army in pursuit of Orcs.

NightKnight · 01-30-2004, 06:05 AM

You're right, your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ruitha · 01-30-2004, 06:22 AM

Okay ... when, and by whom, was Nain son of Gror slain?

NightKnight · 01-31-2004, 05:14 AM

TA 2799 in the Battle of Azanulbizar, by Azog.

Ruitha · 01-31-2004, 06:20 AM

Great, go ahead. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

NightKnight · 02-01-2004, 11:29 AM

Thank you.

By who and on what occasion was Elured killed?

Ruitha · 02-01-2004, 11:35 AM

Oooh, that's an evil one. He was lost during the assault on Doriath by the sons of Feanor; the servants of Celegorm seized him and his brother Elurin and left them to starve in the forest. Maedhros searched for them, but they were never found.
Is that okay?

NightKnight · 02-02-2004, 01:39 AM

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

Ruitha · 02-02-2004, 01:26 PM

Thanks. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
By whom, and under what circumstances, was Uldor slain?

Mariska Greenleaf · 02-02-2004, 01:42 PM

Uldor the Accursed was slain by Maglor in the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

Ruitha · 02-03-2004, 11:17 AM

That's fine, go for it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Mariska Greenleaf · 02-03-2004, 01:56 PM

Thanks!

In what circumstances was Ostoher killed?

NightKnight · 02-04-2004, 02:26 PM

I assume you mean the king of Cardolan, in that case he was killed fighting against Angmar. The other Ostoher, king of Gondor, died of old age.

Mariska Greenleaf · 02-05-2004, 05:09 AM

I meant the one that was slain of course.
Your go! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

NightKnight · 02-07-2004, 05:27 AM

How did Maedhros die?

Ruitha · 02-07-2004, 05:46 AM

He was under such torment due to holding a Silmaril, he cast himself into a fire-filled chasm in the earth.

NightKnight · 02-07-2004, 09:05 AM

Right-o! Your go!

Miriel · 02-08-2004, 01:47 PM

Um ... well, I'm Ruitha ... lost her password and only had entered my old email address ... so *shrugs* I can't prove it, so you'd maybe be best to do another, NightKnight, and give me a chance to get it under this name. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

NightKnight · 02-08-2004, 03:04 PM

I believe you, but anyway, here's an easy one: How did Elenwe die?

Miriel · 02-08-2004, 03:09 PM

Lost in the crossing of Helcaraxë.

NightKnight · 02-08-2004, 03:41 PM

Yes, your turn. Again. :P

Miriel · 02-10-2004, 10:06 AM

*grins*
Thanks!
Okay ... how did Leod die?

Legolas · 02-10-2004, 02:40 PM

From Appendix A, II: House of Eorl:

Quote:

He captured a white foal and it grew quickly to a horse strong, and fair, and proud. No man could tame it. When Léod dared to mount it, it bore him away, and at last threw him, and Léod's head struck a rock, and so he died. He was then only two and forty years old, and his son a youth of sixteen.

I think everyone should note that this game is about characters who were *slain* - not those that simply died. They had to be killed by someone. Each new person states a character that was killed by another, and the answer will be the slayer and the location of the slaying, if given.

Miriel · 02-11-2004, 10:36 AM

Sorry.
Go ahead, Legolas.

Arvedui III · 02-21-2004, 03:47 PM

*Bump*

Umm...Legolas?

Gil-Galad · 02-21-2004, 08:41 PM

been more then ten days... my turn!!!

Name the two wielders of spears, and name one of their kills(choose one kill for one of he wielders)

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 07:03 AM

Gil-galad and Beren used spears, and Beren killed the leader of the dwarves that had sacked Doriath.

Gil-Galad · 02-22-2004, 09:58 AM

i was going for Gil-Galad and Eomer, since Eomer killed the haradrim leader.. but i'll accept that, your go nightknight!

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 01:30 PM

I'm tired, so here comes an easy one: Who killed Ecthelion?

Gil-Galad · 02-22-2004, 05:30 PM

Gothmog!!!

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 06:00 PM

Yup. Your turn.

Gil-Galad · 02-23-2004, 08:22 AM

Name probaly the only elf that was beheaded for a greater cause

NightKnight · 02-23-2004, 09:45 AM

Gelmir.

Gil-Galad · 02-23-2004, 04:23 PM
