Re: Third Gate

Í've just realised what was my mistake: I put the stone portal after the iron and bronze ones, so the correct order is:
1-wood
2-stone
3-BRONZE
4-iron
5-silver
6-golden
7-steel

Re: Third Gate

The Third Gate of Gondolin was indeed bronze. Hammer away Grond.

Turin

No, or at least, not only.
Mablung didn't speak in favour of Turin, he only described what he saw,and said that he had not seen the figth.
Complete answer is found in UT.

I believe the answer to the last question is 'chin'. However, since Gwaihir is not here to confirm this, I shall ask a new question.

Who was the original author of the Narn I Hin Hurin?

according to Gandalf, who was witnessing some gardener's words, Bilbo used to walk aimlessly (but with a secret desire to meet elves) during this holiday. Name the holiday, which all the peoples had, but it differed in date of it's coming

Who told Turin that Tuor was his cousin?

mmmm

As far as I can remember, the answer must be Gelmir or Arminas, when they went to Nargothrond to give Orodreth the warning of Ulmo.

If I have to choose one as my answer I would choose Gelmir.

Re: mmmm

blimey I should not have been so hasty - I really answered like if you were asking who revealed to Tuor that Turin was his cousin! But even than I would not have been right - neither Woronve, nor Tuor never knew who was the black swordsman they met.
