I'll take a complete guess with Tuor.

Lindolirian · 05-06-2003, 07:18 PM

And a complete guess that is correct! I'm still a bit fuzzy on the exact time of the dream but I think it was somewhere around ninety years before the Second Age.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-06-2003, 07:32 PM

Well, it seemed to work with the dates. He was the latest of the ancestors of Elros who would have been around 87 years before the start of the Second Age.

Who relayed the dying words of Finduilas to Turin?

Beren87 · 05-06-2003, 07:38 PM

Dorlas, leader of the wild-men who had ambushed the party of Orcs she was being held in.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-07-2003, 06:04 PM

You are correct, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 05-07-2003, 06:45 PM

That one confused me for a bit, I'm not sure why..

Here's an easy one, which hand did Beren lose?

Lindolirian · 05-07-2003, 06:50 PM

Right.

Beren87 · 05-07-2003, 06:55 PM

Right.

Lindolirian · 05-07-2003, 08:22 PM

I never thought that a single word post could make me chuckle so. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What elven king once used the swan as his standard?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-07-2003, 08:54 PM

Turgon... no wait is it Tuor. NO hes not a king.... I'm confused [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Faenaduial · 05-07-2003, 09:24 PM

Was it Olwe?

Lindolirian · 05-08-2003, 04:28 PM

Yes, it was Turgon's when he was in Nevrast, and he was High King of the Noldor later, so... Sorry to be a bit confusing there, but ya got it!

elven maiden Earwen · 05-13-2003, 06:50 PM

ack forgot about this thread. will edit in a question once I get a good one.

What was the Water of Awakening?

[ May 13, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

alaklondewen · 05-13-2003, 09:22 PM

It was Cuiviénen, the water by which the Elves first awoke.

Lindolirian · 11-02-2004, 07:36 PM

What are the seven names of the previous answer?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-03-2004, 03:49 AM

Then said Tuor: “What be those names?” And the chief of the Guard made answer: “ ‘Tis said and ‘tis sung: ‘Gondobar am I called and Gondothlimbar, City of Stone and City of the Dwellers in Stone; Gondolin the Stone of Song and Gwarestrin am I named, the Tower of the Guard, Gar Thurion or the Secret Place, for I am hidden from the eyes of Melko; but they who love me most greatly call me Loth, for like the flower am I, even Lothengriol the flower that blooms on the plain.’ Yet,” said he, “in our daily speech we speak and we name it mostly Gondolin.”

Lindolirian · 11-03-2004, 04:55 PM

Erm.. well yeah, I'll take it.

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-04-2004, 05:03 PM

Somehow I expected more enthusiasm for a quoted answer

But, I'll take it

Why did Ulmo and Tulkas obey Manwe's judgement concerning Melkor?

Lindolirian · 11-04-2004, 08:34 PM

Because those who defend authority from rebellion must not themselves rebel.
Not in quotes, cause its from memory and I don't know if it's verbatim.

My lack of enthusiasm was because I wasn't expecting the HoME version, but since I didn't specify, I gave it to you.

elven maiden Earwen · 05-13-2003, 09:27 PM

correct

Beren87 · 05-16-2003, 10:18 PM

*bump*

Your go alak.

alaklondewen · 05-17-2003, 07:48 PM

Who was the first to use symbols or signs to record song and speech?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-18-2003, 12:06 AM

Was it Rumil the Loremaster perhaps?

alaklondewen · 05-18-2003, 08:56 AM

Another night without sleep, Sophia? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

You are correct, please carry on.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-18-2003, 01:41 PM

Who quotes Rumil saying that the Valarin tongue sounds

Quote:

like the glitter of long swords, like the rush of leaves in a great wind or the fall of stones in the mountains.

I'm tired and I am not in the mood for research, so I will guess at Pengolodh.

Your guess is apparenly as good as research, Pengolodh it was. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 05-21-2003, 09:29 AM

Who searched for Elrond's uncles in the woods?

Annunfuiniel · 05-21-2003, 09:37 AM

Maedhros searched for Eluréd and Elurín from the woods of Doriath - with no success. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

~Annun

Lindolirian · 05-21-2003, 04:53 PM

I know... that was so sad. Anyway, your go.

Annunfuiniel · 06-01-2003, 12:19 PM

This thread is open for anyone who has a question to ask - I have no time for quizing at the moment.

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 12:41 PM

I will ask a question if no one minds.

Who was Elemmakil?

Lasgalen · 06-03-2003, 03:34 PM

Captain of the guard of the first gate in Gondolin and a friend of Voronwe.

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 04:37 PM

Splendid! Your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lasgalen · 06-03-2003, 05:07 PM

Who wrote the Lament of the Two Trees?

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 05:26 PM

The Aldudénië was composed by a Vanyarin Elf named Elemmirë.

Lasgalen · 06-03-2003, 06:45 PM

Correct. (That was fast)

Eruanna · 06-04-2003, 12:18 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Name three kinds of tree that grew in Númenor.

alaklondewen · 06-04-2003, 06:31 PM

There were oiolairë, lairelossë, nessamelda, vardarianna, taniquelassë, yavannamirë, or malinornë. Of course there were also simple fir, beech, birch, and oak trees. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
