What did the name given by Gwindor to Finduilas mean ?

Valier · 12-27-2006, 11:07 AM

Faelivrin- The glean of the sun on the pools of Ivrin

The Might · 12-27-2006, 06:05 PM

yes

Valier · 12-28-2006, 01:41 PM

Off the top of my head... 7 wasn't it? Or maybe 8 including the last one. Looks like I'm going to have to get my book.

The Might · 12-29-2006, 05:26 AM

yep 8
I hoped to make it tricky because as he died he managed to stab Melkor with Ringil in the foot

It was a really good one I just remember numbers well. I don't think mine is quite as good, but I can't think of anything better right now.

Who in the first age besides Beren lost his hand?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 10:52 AM

I like it...
Let's see, I'd say Maedhros

poor Fingon, but there was no other way

Such is war... but he than of course he did become an even more deadly swordsman with his left hand after that.

Oh yeaaah you got (I bet you knew that already though)

The Might · 12-30-2006, 12:26 PM

nice smiley btw

a little harder this one perhaps:

What emblem did Tuor's shield have?

Perhaps... A white swans wing on a feild of blue.

And about the smily... I thought it looked close to the point.

The Might · 12-30-2006, 12:46 PM

hmm...you're correct, I must try harder when it comes to questions

Beleg Cuthalion · 12-30-2006, 12:50 PM

Thier good questions, it's just that they are from the one of the books that I read the most. Mine: What was Glamdring's scabbard made out of?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 01:05 PM

ivory...

too bad your question is from UT, my personal favourite, though I usually only read the 3 and 4 parts of the UT

Beleg Cuthalion · 12-30-2006, 04:05 PM

Yeah too bad, try this one on for size. What was the name of the leader of the Warriors of Gondolin clad in tassels of silver and gold, bearing the emblem of the Harp?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 04:06 PM

easy one

Salgant

Btw this is great, I haven't played Q and T like this for over a year.

The Might · 12-30-2006, 04:10 PM

lol...I think I will take that as a compliment...

Earendil's ship was built with wood from trees from...???

btw, I always hated Salgant for hiding like a coward instead of fighting alongside his men

Gee I don't remember that. I guess it's been to long since I read the HOME (As I don't own them) Btw white timber from the beech woods of Nimbrethil

The Might · 12-30-2006, 04:25 PM

yep, Nimbrethil it is

I am enjoying the trivia as well, always liked quizzes

the harder they are, the more I enjoy answering them (correctly)

not finding the answer usually drives into more and more study of the books, and eventually I either find the answer or someone beats me to it...

Yeah it's a lot of fun too.

Ok, here a monster one (I think anyway): What was the name for the greatly feared dragon of the sea?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 04:43 PM

Dragon of the Sea...it is a monster one...

I really dunno...could it be a metaphor for Osse ?

To tell you the truth, I don't know. This question came up in a tivia contest I was in and I never found out what it was although there is a important historical archive where information about the dragon of the sea could be found.(don't know what this is) I thought you might know.

I guess I'll ask the guy.

The Might · 12-30-2006, 04:59 PM

I recently read an article called "Dragons and Tolkien" and there several others were mentioned including the dragons from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and from Farmer Giles of Ham, and dragons from his earlier works...
Dragons appear in his books as soon as in the Book of the Lost Tales, they are however not named...

I personally was quite surprised to see this question pop up...and since I couldn't think of any dragon I knew I thought it is a metaphor for a ship or a dweller of the Sea. But since no ship I knew could qualify I though of Osse since due to his let's say...temper, he could be associated with a dragon, and would most surely be feared especially by mariners

Yeah I don't know what to say, I'll ask the guy how did the question and let you know. Sooo try this one: What Beleriand escarpment ran 350 miles between Falas and Amon Ereb?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 05:09 PM

It could onyl be:
*drum roll*

ANDRAM

btw, I didn't know how long it was, new info

Beleg Cuthalion · 12-30-2006, 05:17 PM

I... really? I can see your much more well read than I on this subject. Your go then.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 12-30-2006, 05:31 PM

Did you think it was something else or did you just ask a question you did not know the answer of?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 05:47 PM

lol...no matter

new question:

What is the name of the forest located westward of the sources of the Narog ?

btw, the answer you might have been looking for might have been the Long Wall, which is another name for Andram

Valier · 01-02-2007, 10:39 AM

Birchwoods of Nimbrethil?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 10:47 AM

no...those woods are in Arvenien, on the northern shore of the Bay of Balar

Valier · 01-02-2007, 10:49 AM

on my map it is southwest of the river..... Maybe Nan-Tathren?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 10:51 AM

it is near Narog, but too far south

Valier · 01-02-2007, 10:56 AM

Taur Im Duinath?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 10:59 AM

nope...
SOUTH = bad
NORTH = good
