...and I forgot a thread again. So sorry, Ms Luthien!
And now to business: What road crosses the Odothui?

01-20-2005, 06:07 PM

the andrath greenway?

Lindolirian · 01-21-2005, 03:19 PM

The Greenway will do. Proceed!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-31-2005, 01:49 AM

Name all passes from the North into Beleriand.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-31-2005, 04:06 AM

As far as named passes, here is what I have:

Pass of Aglon, Pass of Anach, Pass of Sirion.

Also possibly elligible:

Maglor's gap

Less possibly elligible:

Cirith Ninniach, Annon in Gelydh?

I spend far too little time sleeping.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-31-2005, 10:37 PM

The thread is yours, Sophia.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-01-2005, 12:51 PM

Thanks. There are some bits that I've never been sure whether they're part of Beleriand proper, or too far north. Like Nevrast.

Anyway, on to the next question.

Name the north and south coastal plains of Aman.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-02-2005, 06:46 PM

Araman and Avathar, respectively.

I think . . .

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-03-2005, 07:35 PM

quite correct.

S.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-03-2005, 10:34 PM

Which rivers named in Lord of the Rings do not lead to Belegaer (the Sea)?

Gil-Galad · 02-04-2005, 05:07 PM

ooh/...... River Running?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-06-2005, 07:03 PM

. . . but there's another one.

Lindolirian · 02-07-2005, 07:10 AM

River Carnen or something like that, I can't remember exactly.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-07-2005, 08:10 AM

Also the Forest River.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-07-2005, 09:13 PM

What's the verdict on this?

Guilty. Put 'em on the chair.

Not that kind of verdict. Who do I give the thread to?

Lindolirian · 02-08-2005, 02:33 PM

Technically luthien knew all three answers before Gil or I did because she could have just copied and pasted ours into her post (since they were already there), thus having all three right. So I'd say her.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-08-2005, 09:55 PM

luthien, it's yours.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-09-2005, 09:47 AM

Thanks! Ya know...it's a lot funner answering these questions rather than thinking the up!

Wellinghall was located on what mountain range, also which specific mountain peak?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-10-2005, 06:31 PM

Hithaegilr? Methedras?

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-11-2005, 01:49 PM

Yes, those answers are correct

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 05:56 PM

If travelling from Minas Tirith to Fornost, how many rivers must you cross--assuming you follow the road.

Lindolirian · 02-13-2005, 05:59 PM

Glanhir, Snowbourne, Isen, and Gwathlo.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 07:07 PM

Lindolirian · 02-13-2005, 07:09 PM

What do the Rushdown and Langflood combine into?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 08:09 PM

I dunno what Rushdown is, but Langflood flows into Anduin.

Lindolirian · 02-13-2005, 08:12 PM

Good work.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 08:22 PM

What is the boundary of Thranduil's kingdom and Celeborn's (in Eryn Lasgalen).

Lindolirian · 02-13-2005, 08:26 PM

Thranduil's border was the mountains, while Celeborn's was the Narrows with the forest in between belonging to the Beornings.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 08:43 PM

Capital.

Lindolirian · 02-13-2005, 08:53 PM

What geographical feature divides the Lunoronti?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-17-2005, 03:12 PM

Which would therefore be divided by the Gulf of Lhun?

Lindolirian · 02-17-2005, 03:16 PM

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-17-2005, 11:10 PM

Now for a new one. And straightforward it is.

Which rivers did Aragorn & co. have to cross between Dunharrow and Pelargir?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-18-2005, 12:26 AM

Morthond, Ciril, Ringlo and Gilrain/Serni.

I did not include Sirith, as it flows through Pelargir.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-18-2005, 01:51 AM

Yes, indeedy.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-21-2005, 10:13 PM

Which major region of Andor had the shortest coastline?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-22-2005, 02:58 AM

Mittalmar- which only had just a smidgen around Romenna.

Unless Emerie is considered a major region, in that case, it has none at all.

Researching Sailorhood?!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-24-2005, 01:07 AM

Mittalmar is correct!

And yes, I am. Mindreading again?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-24-2005, 01:50 AM

Anyway.

Please provide for me three names of havens in Eriador.

NightKnight · 02-24-2005, 02:00 AM

Harlond, Forlond and Lond Daer?
