Two truths and a lie... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

No, sorry, Eonwe, 1. is not a lie. That one was a red herring.

It sure was, since there were two Faramirs. The first one, meant here, was indeed mortally wounded by Wainriders.
And Grimbold did indeed die at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
However, Theodred died at the First, not the Second Battle. So that's the lie.

I knew it seemed too easy...

Pitchwife · 06-02-2009, 10:21 AM

Might, I knew you would! Correct, of course. Go ahead!
And Eonwe, the other Faramir was the younger son of King Ondoher of Gondor, about a millennium or so before Boromir's little brother (but a little brother as well). Sorry for being mean.

Ok, here comes a new one:

Rog was considered strongest of the Noldor.
The term for a wose in Rohan was róg.
Rodyn is the only Sindarin name for the last day of the week.

Btw, tried to make it hard and with a bit of an alliteration.

OK, if nobody else is interested...

Rog was the strongest of the Noldor in the BoLT Fall of Gondolin - true.
róg = wose in the true language of Rohan, according to UT, The Drúedain - true.
However, Rodyn (the weekday dedicated to the Valar) was also called Orbelain in Sindarin. This one's a lie.

(Alliteration appreciated!
