Re:An easy Strider question

Really an easy one
His real name was Aragorn 2nd, son of Arathorn and he was called King Elessar
and i think the translation of Strider was Tolcentar but im not sure about that

Re: Re:An easy Strider question

You are correct Balin!

And Telcontar was indeed the Elvish (Q) translation of Strider.

WTG!

Your turn to ask a question in this thread!

Re: A question about Strider

before i start: what does WTG mean?

ok let me think.....
should be a rather easy one too: how was Aragorn called during the time he lived at Rivendell and what does it mean in the Western Speech?

Re: A Question about Strider

Eomer called him Wingfoot. But if you are asking what alias he may have used in Rohan, I don't know.

Re: A Question about Strider

Actually, the books only mention Thorongil being used in Gondor.

Re: A Question about Strider

It says in the Tale of Years, TA 2957-80. Sorry for the long space in time, I didn't know anything was added after the last thing I posted.

Re: A Question about Strider

In the Tale of Years 2957-80 it tells how &quot;[Aragorn]served in disguise both Thengel of Rohan and Ecthelion II of Gondor.&quot; Earlier in Appendix A The Stewards it exlpains how he came to Gondor from Rohan where he had served king Thengel... &quot;Thorongil men called him in Gondor, the Eagle of the Star.&quot;

Though Aragorn might well have served Thengel under the same alias, the text does not specify that he did.

Oops ..it's my turn!

Got so busy talking about the last question that I didn't realize it was my turn.

Now here's one the average reader might not know:

What is a yén ?

No ... I'm not talking about Japanese currency.

Re: yen

144 years. Or 52,596 days (re). Or 8,766 six-day weeks (enquier). Not that it was your turn, and it isn't mine either. The day and week names could have made good questions, oh well.

Re: yen

Who you tellin' it wasn't my turn, eh? You small rag-tag!

It was my turn to tell Galadriel she had answered the question correctly (but not entirely completely). And I appropriately told her it was her turn now.

So you watch it you little burrahobbit ... and wait yer turn! Or it's off to the Questioner with you! <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b">

dart-arrow

I think the a dart was what the nazgul used and an arrow was what the rest of the people used. I was reading in the RotK and Aragorn said that it wasn't actually a dart that got Faramir becuase he would already be dead but someone else said they thought it came from the sky so I'm not sure what it was. If I'm confusing you please feel free to not read it.

Re: dart-arrow

Hey Guys...

In relation to the &quot;Dart-Arrow&quot; thingie... I can give some insight into the two weapons... historically... I'm sure that everyone knows what an arrow looks like and how it's used, so I won't go into that... A dart however is similar to a javelin - not as long, with a large heavyish head (barbed) and flight like those of a hunting arrow (except quite larger, and is flung fronm the hand with a leather thong which is twisted around the shaft,(upon itself)behind the hand. This gives a greater coverage distance. Used as early as the Iron age if not earlier...

Although maybe it was a blowpipe dart...? Hmmmm

Hope this helps though...

Re: dart-arrow

I've always thought the dart may have been a blowpipe. Though swords, axes, bow and arrows seemd to bee the most common type of weapons, there were some pretty exotic bad-guys on the Pellnor that day. A blowpipe might very well have hung at the belt of many Southerner that day... or maybe even the Nazgul.

Re: dart-arrow

That's right. When the Witch-King overran Arthedain, Arvedui first hid in the Dwarf mines in the Ered Luin and then fled further to Lossoth. Cirdan sent ships around to save him, but the ship he was on floundered in the ice and he and the palantiri of Amon Sul and Annuminas were lost.

Your turn!!!
