Look in the Silmarillion, especially in the index where it gives you the meaning of the names and the characteristics of the main characters. A couple of them are quite easy actually.

I'll give you a hint for number 1: He was a very famous wanderer.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-20-2003, 12:29 AM

5. Arvedui?

I'll be stabbing blind here, for my Silmarillion has been snatched by a fool...a friend, actually...

Finwe · 11-20-2003, 09:40 PM

Right on!!!! I'm so glad someone finally got one!!!!

NightKnight · 11-21-2003, 09:56 AM

For some odd reason I think number 1 is Beren. No idea why, though.

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-21-2003, 07:49 PM

I think that it would be helpful all round if the person giving the answer or (if they cannot) the question-setter could explain the answers when they are not obvious.

Finwe · 11-22-2003, 07:34 AM

Ok. I'll change the questions around a little bit, to make them a little easier.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-23-2003, 11:36 PM

First, I thought it was Curufin, and heroic archer referred to was Derufin. But I was mistaken, so I went for Duilin. The first person that came to my mind that has either half of Duilin is Arvedui. So, I stabbed wildly and I posted my answer.

1. Tuor?

3. Argonath?

4. Bilbo?

The Laurenendorian · 11-24-2003, 08:08 AM

1) Eärendil?

And it appears the Master of Doom has beaten me to the answer to 6).

Turambar got #3 and Saucy got #2 and the password! Good show, chaps! Saucy can continue.

The best I seem to be able to manage at the moment is

**The Saucepan Man** · 12-01-2003, 10:22 PM

Ahem! It seems that I cross-posted with Squatter, so my taunting was not entirely fair. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

1. Bag End (Hole in bottom of sack.)
2. Olog-Hai (Superior troops may avoid being petrified in battle.)
3. Beorn (Magician found in Combe or near Archet.)
4. Doomed ocean fortress.
5. Evil one gives love-bite, by the sound of it.
6. Horse lord said to have come to an end at this place.
7. King reverses commercial edict.
8. A Hobbit who can take his drink?
9. Orrostar (Headless swordsman and main attraction from Eastern land.)

Three out of four, Squatter. And Brandybuck is very close for #8.

Still here, and relatively unflamed, Turambar. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] But I am afraid that Firien Wood is not correct. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

# 7 Walda ?

**The Saucepan Man** · 12-02-2003, 10:19 AM

Nope, not correct I'm afraid, Celebrian and Nilpaurion. Turambar, however, has come up trumps this time:

1. Bag End (Hole in bottom of sack.)
2. Olog-Hai (Superior troops may avoid being petrified in battle.)
3. Beorn (Magician found in Combe or near Archet.)
4. Doomed ocean fortress.
5. Evil one gives love-bite, by the sound of it.
6. Horse lord said to have come to an end at this place.
7. Walda (King reverses commercial edict.)
8. A Hobbit who can take his drink?
9. Orrostar (Headless swordsman and main attraction from Eastern land.)

My guesses, right.

4) Himring?

Good answer, The Laurenendorian, but it's not the one that I'm looking for. The actual answer is not so clever - it's more of a pun. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Still not there on #6, Nilpaurion. You're all thinking too literally on this one. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Himring's not correct for #4 either, I'm afraid, Finwe. This one requires a bit of translation.
