The floor is yours, Matt!

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-18-2002, 07:42 PM

where in Arda,is the dark harbour of the North? and what is its name? .. clue - Mandos spoke his Prophecy of the North there .....

Lindolirian · 02-18-2002, 07:48 PM

"the northern confines of the Guarded Realm, upon the borders of Araman, which were mountainous and cold." Here the Noldor saw the figure of Mandos and he gave his Prophecy of the North

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-18-2002, 07:54 PM

Yes, that's right but in one of Christopher Tolkiens associated Histories, it's actual name is given ... curious enough mentioned as the mooring-place of the black ship of Nienna which drew the souls of men onwards to their new home beyond the circles of Arda....

Firefoot · 05-06-2005, 02:14 PM

I guess that's me.

List four locations where a red sun was seen in LotR.

Firefoot · 05-24-2005, 04:35 PM

Anyone? How about three locations?

Gil-Galad · 05-24-2005, 04:37 PM

Rohan...Minas Tirith...and...umm...Fangorn?

Lindolirian · 02-19-2002, 03:39 PM

Name the three Mountains of Moria in English, Elvish, and Dwarvish.

Lindolirian · 03-03-2005, 11:10 AM

Barazinbar, Bundushathur, and Zirakzigil.
Wait a minute, am I to understand that NK has an alter ego now too?!?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-03-2005, 08:48 PM

Alter-egos everywhere! To whom do we turn to stop them?!

Lindolirian · 03-03-2005, 09:10 PM

So Lindo, did you get that question right or what?
I dunno, I was hoping Nil could help us with that.

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-19-2002, 05:02 PM

English : - Redhorn, Cloudyhead and Silvertine

Elvish :- Caradhras, Fanuidhol and Celebdil

Khuzdul :- Barazinbar, Bundushathur and Zirakzigil

Lindolirian · 02-19-2002, 08:19 PM

Very good, as usual, Mr Heathertoes! Your turn.

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-21-2002, 04:57 PM

Where was the Camp of the Faithful ?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-21-2002, 10:52 PM

The refuge of Túrin and his band upon Amon Rhûdh, the home of Mîm the petty dwarf.

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-22-2002, 08:55 AM

Wouldn't have doubted you for a second Macc [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ..... take it away!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-22-2002, 09:26 AM

What is the name of the wild country south of the Andram betweeen Sirion and Gelion?

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-22-2002, 04:38 PM

Taur-Im-Duinath - The Forest Between Rivers

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-22-2002, 10:00 PM

Absolutely right!

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-23-2002, 04:46 PM

what were the Martalmar?

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 05:05 PM

I don't know!! I've toiled over this one at least once every month since Mat posted this. Anyways Geography is great toic, so we'll keep it going.

What two rivers is the Forest of the Hunters in between?

Joy · 11-29-2002, 06:50 PM

The Taur-im-Duinath was between the Rivers Sirion and Gelion

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 06:54 PM

Nope, I'm asking for the rivers on either side of Taur-en-Faroth, not Taur-im-Duinath.

Joy · 11-29-2002, 08:02 PM

I wasn't looking at my map good enough. I only saw one forest between two rivers. My bad.

Taur-en-Faroth is above Nargothrond, so that would make the rivers be the Narog and the Ginglith.

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 08:59 PM

Oh... Now you're looking at the Woods of Nuath... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Joy · 11-30-2002, 01:25 AM

I had the hardest time finding that Lindo!

Okay - hope this is right - Taur en Faroth is South of the Hills of Nargothrond. The River Narog is beside it and I guess you could say that the River Ringil would be the other, as it is North of it - unless you are classifing the River Nenning as the other river.

Lindolirian · 11-30-2002, 01:01 PM

Yes! Congrats!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 12-16-2002, 08:46 PM

I guess I'll just take it.

By what river are the Overbourne Marshes?

Beren87 · 12-16-2002, 08:57 PM

The Shirebourn?

Lindolirian · 12-17-2002, 02:33 PM

Eh, the big river...

TolkienGurl · 12-18-2002, 06:39 PM

So... Is Beren right?

Lindolirian · 12-18-2002, 06:41 PM

No, I'm looking for the name of the biggest river that the Marshes are near to.

TolkienGurl · 12-18-2002, 06:50 PM

The Brandywine!

Lindolirian · 12-18-2002, 07:00 PM

Correct!

TolkienGurl · 12-18-2002, 07:26 PM

Name 5 places where the Hobbits (together or separate) met someone unexpectedly. Give also the name of who they met.

Lindolirian · 12-18-2002, 08:21 PM

That actually happened more than 5 times I'm sure, but I'll give ya the more famous ones... the ones you're porbably thinking of.

Tom Bombadil in the Old Forest
Glorfindel on the way to Rivendell
Gollum in Emyn Muil
Faramir in Ithilien
Treebeard in Fangorn

Legolas · 12-18-2002, 09:19 PM

Durin's Bane in Moria
Gildor in the Shire
Aragorn [Strider] in Bree
Old Man Willow, then Tom Bombadil in the Old Forest

TolkienGurl · 12-19-2002, 01:41 PM

The ones that you two named which I was thinking about were:

Bombadil in the Old Forest
Strider in Bree
Faramir in Ithilien
Treebeard in Fangorn

The others are correct, but not the ones I'm thinking of:

Gollum... they sort of knew he was following them.

Balrog... registers the surprise of all but the Hobbits. It wasn't their confrontation, but I'm sure they were surprised!

Glorfindel... registers only Aragorn's surprise in the book. He could've counted, too, but I didn't think of him.

Gildor... didn't think of him! Silly me!

See if you can guess the last one! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sam met Snaga while climbing the Tower of Cirith Ungol.

TolkienGurl · 12-19-2002, 02:25 PM

Very close... Good try! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
