Isildur

Theodred21 · 02-20-2002, 09:39 AM

Hey Telchar, long time no see! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] How have you been? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orald · 02-20-2002, 11:17 AM

Nope and nope. It was neither Anarion nor Isildur. Think about the hint some more.

Theodred21 · 02-21-2002, 10:34 AM

Amandil

Elenhin · 02-21-2002, 01:51 PM

Hm.. Herendil.
(IIRC, that's what Elendil's son was called in the Lost Road.)

Orald · 02-22-2002, 01:47 AM

You got it Elenhin. You go.

Elenhin · 02-23-2002, 05:31 AM

Who were Damrod and Díriel?

Voronwe · 02-24-2002, 09:24 AM

The former names of Amrod and Amras, the twin sons of Fëanor. Damrod's name was later given to one of the men under Faramir's command in Ithilien.

Elenhin · 02-24-2002, 10:16 AM

Correct, go on Voronwe.

Voronwe · 02-24-2002, 06:04 PM

From what house of the Edain was Erendis descended?

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-24-2002, 06:40 PM

The House of Bëor

Voronwe · 02-25-2002, 11:27 AM

Quite correct. Proceed.

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-25-2002, 04:01 PM

Who is Lady of the Isle of Tol Eressëa ?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-25-2002, 04:13 PM

Meril-i-Turinqi

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-25-2002, 04:49 PM

As usual ... Bruce cleaves the webs of doubt with his mattock of truth ....over to he ....

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-25-2002, 10:01 PM

What is Mar Vanya Tyaliéva?

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-26-2002, 08:15 PM

The Cottage of Lost Play

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-26-2002, 09:50 PM

Absolutely correct, Mat! (As if there was ever any doubt)

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-27-2002, 06:28 AM

Many thanks Mr Macc

What did Taur Danin evolve into in later writings ?

Nefwathiel Teleri · 03-02-2002, 09:19 PM

Carn Dum? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Mat_Heathertoes · 03-03-2002, 09:15 AM

Alas no, Nefwathiel

Voronwe · 03-03-2002, 10:31 AM

Dorthonion?

Mat_Heathertoes · 03-03-2002, 04:26 PM

All yours Voronwë [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Voronwe · 03-03-2002, 05:31 PM

In Tolkien's early writings, who discovered the Vale of Sleep, and what did he find there?

Telchar · 03-04-2002, 07:12 AM

Oromë - the sleeping bodies of Men???? This is just guessing

Mat_Heathertoes · 03-04-2002, 08:12 AM

Nuin, the dark elf, who discovered the land of Hildorien before the rising of the Sun and found sleeping forms of mankind and awoke two, Ermon and Elmir and taught them to speak.

Voronwe · 03-04-2002, 10:17 AM

As always, Mat is completely correct.

Voronwe · 03-16-2002, 05:49 PM

What's become of Mat, I wonder? Would someone else care to ask a question instead?

Voronwe · 03-21-2002, 03:15 PM

No? In that case I will ask one. Who did Galadriel meet at Tharbad on the Greyflood?

Telchar · 03-22-2002, 05:37 AM

Celebrimbor?

Voronwe · 03-22-2002, 11:49 AM

Nope.

twinkle · 03-22-2002, 09:17 PM

Aldarion....

"It is also slated that "no records are now left of the later voyages that Aldarion made," but that "it is known that he went much on land as well as sea, and went up the River Gwathló as far as Tharbad, and there met Galadriel." There is no mention elsewhere of this meeting; but at that time Galadriel and Celeborn were dwelling in Eregion, at no great distance from Tharbad." -UT

Voronwe · 03-23-2002, 04:48 AM

You are, of course, quite correct. Ask away.

twinkle · 03-23-2002, 10:48 AM

ty voronwe....
this is my first question in quiz, so bear with me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Quote:

'So be they,' said Lindo, 'though concerning them Men
tell many strange and garbled tales that are far from the truth,
and many strange names they call them that you will not hear
here', but Vaire said: 'Nay then, Lindo, be not drawn into
more tale-telling tonight, for the hour of rest is at hand, and
for all his eagerness our guest is way-worn. Send now for the
candles of sleep, and more tales to his head's filling and his
heart's satisfying the wanderer shall have on the morrow.'

who is this guest?

Orogaerion · 03-23-2002, 04:18 PM

Eriol visiting the cottage of lost play

twinkle · 03-24-2002, 05:46 AM

right you are Orogaerion....
your turn now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

twinkle

twinkle · 04-07-2002, 11:54 AM

well, it's been two weeks and no sign of Orogaerion whatsoever....
to not let this cool quiz become buried in oblivion, let me ask another question then....

who was forced to cast down his golden collar, by whom and to what purpose?

twinkle

Voronwe · 04-07-2002, 02:34 PM

Tevildo, Prince of Cats, by Huan. He was forced to give it up so Tinuviel could use it as a token of his authority to rescue Beren.

twinkle · 04-08-2002, 03:18 PM

correct as ever, Voronwe....
i bow to thee [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

your turn again...

twinkle

Voronwe · 04-13-2002, 04:52 PM

Who was the only person known to have referred to Eru during the third age?
