Oops!
I had forgotten I had asked a question in this thread. Sorry about the delay.

Your answer was right, alaklondewen. You may ask the next question.

alaklondewen · 04-18-2002, 10:06 PM

Thank you.

What was Quickbeam's Elvish name?

Dior · 04-19-2002, 08:57 AM

Yes, Dior, you are right.

You're up. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Dior · 04-19-2002, 08:28 PM

Dior · 04-20-2002, 04:20 PM

yep!

KingCarlton · 04-20-2002, 11:37 PM

My turn..right ?

Question - What does "Dagnir Glaurunga" mean and why ?

Birdland · 04-22-2002, 05:51 PM

Dagnir Glaurunga = Bane of Glaurung. The Elvish form of the title given to the hero Turin, after he slew the Dragon Glaurung. It is carved on his tomb.

KingCarlton · 04-24-2002, 02:16 AM

Correct...carry on !

alaklondewen · 01-29-2003, 11:18 AM

I think this is a good thread to pick up again.

What is the Dwarvish name of Fanuidhol?

[ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

Jurion · 01-29-2003, 12:51 PM

Bundushathûr (or just Shathûr)?

alaklondewen · 01-29-2003, 01:02 PM

Yes! Your turn.

Jurion · 01-29-2003, 01:07 PM

Who was the father of Gríma Wormtongue?

alaklondewen · 01-29-2003, 01:44 PM

That would be Galmod.

Jurion · 01-29-2003, 01:52 PM

Very good, Tolkien only mentioned the name once I believe, so I thought this would be quite hard, but apparently I was wrong.

Anyway, you're next.

alaklondewen · 01-29-2003, 02:02 PM

It was an excellent question and I did need to look it up. Does that make you feel better? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What is the Elvish (Sindarin) name for the Valley of Saruman?

Jurion · 01-29-2003, 02:33 PM

Yes it does make me feel better. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
The answer I think is: Angrenost

alaklondewen · 01-29-2003, 04:57 PM

No, Angrenost was the name of the area before Saruman moved in.

Jurion · 01-30-2003, 05:01 AM

Then it has to be Nan Curunir?

alaklondewen · 01-30-2003, 05:39 AM

Very good! Proceed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Jurion · 01-30-2003, 06:09 AM

What was the name for the hidden refuge of Elrond Halfelven in Westron?

hobbitlass · 01-30-2003, 07:06 AM

Karningul

Jurion · 01-30-2003, 08:52 AM

Yep, your turn Hobbitlass.

hobbitlass · 01-30-2003, 03:17 PM

What was renamed Eryn Lasgalen?

Beren87 · 01-30-2003, 04:18 PM

Mirkwood, after its cleansing.

hobbitlass · 01-30-2003, 09:16 PM

Yep, your go.

Beren87 · 01-30-2003, 11:47 PM

What was the Sindarin name for Nogrod?

the real findorfin · 01-31-2003, 05:11 AM

I might be a fool but I thought Nogrod was the Sindarin name for it!

Jurion · 01-31-2003, 12:29 PM

Nogrod is the Sindarin name. The Dwarvish name for the citadel in the Ered Luin is Tumunzahar.

02-01-2003, 04:23 PM

Here are 5 questions that you have to know to be considered a Lord of the rings Geek

1. What is the proper name for The Brotherhood of the Wizards?

2. How did Gollum kill his cousin in order to get the ring?

3. Did Frodo ever go to the Grey havens?

4. Where did Merry and Pippin die(well-after ROTK)?

5. Samwise's Wife's Name was Mistress ______

You gotta be able to get at leas 3/5 to be called a LOTR geek.

Manardariel · 02-02-2003, 04:36 AM

Oh, then I positively AM a LotR geek... fine then, it´s not like I care... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 02-02-2003, 01:58 PM

Luinoth,Heir_of_Rohan, this isn't the place to post that.

Hmm...Oh yes, I meant, what was the early Sindarin name? Before it was chaged to Nogrod.

Gil-Galad · 02-15-2003, 10:28 PM

1. istari
2. drown
3. yes
4. rohan
5. rose

just thought i'll try it

Beren87 · 02-15-2003, 10:41 PM

You got 3/5 and this isn't the place for it.

New question:

Why is the village Haysend called that?

Lyra Greenleaf · 02-16-2003, 06:30 AM

It's at the end of the High Hay, the barrier to the Old Forest

Beren87 · 02-16-2003, 09:55 AM

That's precisely why! Your turn Lyra.

Gil-Galad · 02-17-2003, 10:37 AM

i know i know i'm not supposed to put any questions till my turn but this one is bothering me and anyone can anwser it if they wish

what did Eomer call Aragorn when they first met at Rohan

Lyra Greenleaf · 02-17-2003, 12:40 PM

He called him Wingfoot, I think.

My question is:

What is called the 'Straight road'?

(I think thats quite easy)

Rochelle · 02-17-2003, 12:44 PM

The pathway to the west?

I'll be a bit more precise...it was the way left open for the elves to return to Valinor after the downfall.
