Sorry Pitch. I missed that on the page break.

It is not west of the Misty Mountains . Wish I hadn't done a place now I have no sense of direction whatsoever.

It isn't west of Anduin either.

Galadriel55 · 06-02-2011, 07:38 AM

Is it in Ithilien?

Mithalwen · 06-02-2011, 07:47 AM

It is in Ithilien... which means I got all that tricksy east west stuff right...

Galadriel55 · 06-02-2011, 07:52 AM

Is it Henneth Annun?

Mithalwen · 06-02-2011, 10:39 AM

It is. Love the window on the west...

Galadriel55 · 06-02-2011, 02:23 PM

Too easy? I don't think so. It's just that Henneth Annun is what I first think of when I hear "Ithilien".

I have a (hopefully) tricksy one in mind...

Mithalwen · 06-02-2011, 03:34 PM

Place - yes

West of Anduin - I'm tempted to say yes, but that would confuse everyone... so yesno.

Mithalwen · 06-03-2011, 08:40 AM

Ooh Couple of options spring to mind.. Tol Brandir?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-03-2011, 12:48 PM

Difficult to answer without giving it away. I guess another yesno will have to suffice.

As for the course, Emyn Muil was in the right direction.

And another hint: don't take Anduin as the center of everything. Don't concentrate on it too much.

Mithalwen · 06-04-2011, 10:48 AM

Try a different tack - is it "visited" by (a) member(s) of the fellowship during the Ring quest

Falls of Rauros - no
Is it above Rauros - yesno.
Is it situated on the course of the River Anduin? - yesno...

Another difficult question... If I stick to the word "visited", then no... But If you say "Was a member of the fellowship in it during the War", then yes. All of them were.

Mithalwen · 06-04-2011, 12:30 PM

That is what I meant by visited - that someone was there rather than the place referred to... or somewhere that they probably been sometime but not that we know about.

Yes and it is the ALL that is puzzling me!!!! Very tricksy.
