Dior · 04-14-2002, 08:27 PM

What was the Gabilgathol, who was it made by, and what was it also called?

Birdland · 04-14-2002, 09:40 PM

This was the Dwarf name for the city of Belegost, which was founded in the First Age. (Possibly by the Broadbeam clan of dwarves.) It was located in the Blue Mountains. Belegost meant "Great Fortress" in Elvish. It was destroyed in the War of Wrath.

Telchar · 04-15-2002, 02:59 AM

Just as a side note to Birdland. Belegost was founded a long time before the 1st Age, as the dwarves of Belegost helped in the building of Menegroth. Which was build during the 3rd Age of the captivity of Melkor.
When exactly it was founded I cannot say however.

Dior · 04-15-2002, 08:19 AM

you are not incorrect. go.

Birdland · 04-15-2002, 08:48 AM

Oh dear...OK, Why were the Corsairs of Umbar foes of Gondor?

Dior · 04-15-2002, 11:05 AM

They were the remnants of the people who followed Castamir during the kin-strife in Gondor, after being defeated.

Birdland · 04-15-2002, 11:19 AM

That's right. Take it away Dior.

Dior · 04-17-2002, 08:20 PM

Besides me, who else had the name of Dior?

BTW, you guys don't look these things up, right?

Dior · 04-17-2002, 08:21 PM

Yeah, um, not ME, but the Dior, heir of Thingol, who was named Dior besides him?

Joy · 04-17-2002, 10:54 PM

There was Dior, the steward of Gondor, the uncle of Denethor I.

Dior · 04-19-2002, 08:49 PM

Yes Ma'am, your turn.

Arwen Imladris · 05-20-2002, 12:09 PM

[ May 20, 2002: Message edited by: Joy ]

Dior · 05-20-2002, 06:03 PM

It means "Empty-Handed" and it was bore by Beor, after coming back w/out the Simaril.

Lindolirian · 05-20-2002, 07:41 PM

Dior · 05-21-2002, 08:40 AM

Yeah, Beren. Sorry.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 05-22-2002, 01:43 PM

Dior · 05-22-2002, 05:09 PM

Nope.

Lindolirian · 05-22-2002, 06:15 PM

Fangorn, Misty Mountains, The Gap of Rohan

Dior · 05-23-2002, 09:19 PM

No, I didn't say the WHOLE western border. It's a river.

Lómelindi · 05-23-2002, 09:41 PM

Lindolirian · 05-28-2002, 07:52 PM

River Adorn. I forgot that the borders of Rohan went that far west... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hírilamara · 05-28-2002, 08:07 PM

So who got it right? What was the answer? Where's the new question?

Dior · 05-29-2002, 07:23 PM

You're correct, Lindolirian.
