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

Orald · 02-24-2002, 03:07 AM

Saruman?

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 03:15 AM

Correct, your turn!

Orald · 02-24-2002, 05:01 PM

After the Old Took's death when was the next time Gandalf was seen in the Shire?

onewhitetree · 02-24-2002, 05:57 PM

That fateful day he showed up on an unsuspecting Bilbo Baggins' doorstep!

Orald · 02-26-2002, 12:45 AM

Kate get's it. GO on ask.

onewhitetree · 02-26-2002, 12:59 AM

Who was the first person in the west of Middle-Earth to know who the Istari were?

Joy · 02-26-2002, 01:26 AM

Was it Cirdan the ShipWright?

onewhitetree · 02-26-2002, 02:29 PM

Indeed! Do continue.

Joy · 02-26-2002, 06:19 PM

To which Istari did Cirdan give one of the Rings of Power? What was the rings name and meaning and why did he (Cirdan) give this ring to this Istari?

I know that it is long question, but I don't know much about them.

onewhitetree · 02-26-2002, 06:37 PM

He gave it to Gandalf because he knew Gandalf would have more need of it than he in the days to come, rallying supporters and all.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-26-2002, 09:37 PM

Cirdan gave to Gandalf Narya, the Ring of Fire, because Gandalf's "labors and ... cares will be heavy" and that Gandalf could "rekindle hearts to the valor of old in a world gone chill".

Joy · 02-27-2002, 11:17 PM

Your turn Bruce. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-27-2002, 11:29 PM

Which of the Istari volunteered to go to Middle-Earth first?

Watcher in the Water · 02-27-2002, 11:56 PM

Was it Saruman?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-28-2002, 12:14 AM

Yep!
Watcher - your turn.

Watcher in the Water · 02-28-2002, 02:12 AM

What was the reason given suggesting that Radagast had failed his 'mission' in Middle Earth?

Hmmm... Didnt word that too well but I'm sure you get the drift...

Telchar · 02-28-2002, 02:34 AM

Because he didn't stay true to his mission in opposing Sauron and rather spend his time concerned with beasts and birds?

Legolas · 02-28-2002, 10:24 AM

"...he did not remain faithful to his mission..."

"...in becoming enamoured with the wild creatures of Middle-earth Radagast neglected the purpose for which he was sent if perhaps not perfectly in accord with the idea of his being specially chosen by Yavanna."

zifnab · 02-28-2002, 10:45 AM

Well it appears Im too late to answer this one, which it seems happens to often. Curse my slow reading and typing!

"Radagast the Brown!" laughed Saruman, and he no longer concealed his scorn. "Radagast the Bird-Tamer! Radagast the Simple! Radagast the Fool! Yet he had just the wit to play the part that I set him.

Quote:

For Radagast, the fourth, became enamoured of the many beasts and birds that dwelt in Middle-Earth, and forsook Elves and Men, and spent his days among the wild creatres. Unfinished Tales-The Istari

Watcher in the Water · 03-05-2002, 02:15 AM

Telchar got it...

Sorry for the time delay... long weekend here meant some drinking was done (and associated hung-over feelings) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Telchar · 03-05-2002, 03:46 AM

What specific thing started Saruman hate of Gandalf?

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-05-2002, 04:25 AM

Saruman's discovery that Gandalf had been given Narya by Círdan.

Telchar · 03-05-2002, 07:59 AM

Correct as usual - go on Bruce [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-05-2002, 04:16 PM

We know that the word wizard is a translation of the Quenya istar. What is the word in Sindarin?

zifnab · 03-05-2002, 11:16 PM

Sindarin: ithron

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-06-2002, 12:03 AM

zifnab · 03-06-2002, 11:48 AM

A double question!

Who learned "pity and patience"? And from whom?

Voronwe · 03-06-2002, 12:36 PM

Olorin (aka Gandalf), from Nienna.

zifnab · 03-06-2002, 03:58 PM

Good Job, Voronwe. Your turn!

Voronwe · 03-08-2002, 02:01 PM

Who granted Sauruman leave to dwell in Orthanc?

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-08-2002, 03:52 PM

Beren, Steward of Gondor.

Voronwe · 03-08-2002, 05:18 PM

Correct.

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-08-2002, 10:43 PM

Speaking of Orthanc, what are the original names of Orthanc and Isengard?

zifnab · 03-09-2002, 10:02 AM

O=Mount Fang/Cunning Mind?
I=Angrenost?

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-11-2002, 01:06 AM

I'll give it to you. Mount Fang and Cunning Mind are actually translations of the name Orthanc. Your turn Ziff-a-dee-doo-dah! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

zifnab · 03-12-2002, 10:32 AM

My oh my. What a wonderful day!

In what year did Saruman acquire the keys of Orthanc?

Telchar · 03-13-2002, 04:07 AM

From the top of my head TA 2763 - hmmm But Im 4 years wrong [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
