Is it used for defense?

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-22-2004, 08:00 AM

Is it used for defense? Most definately

Firefoot · 10-22-2004, 08:52 AM

Made of metal?

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-22-2004, 09:59 AM

Made of metal? See list of questions above

Firefoot · 10-22-2004, 10:33 AM

Oh...

Was it ever used east of the Anduin?

Tuor of Gondolin · 10-22-2004, 10:49 AM

Was it one of the Dunedain shields?

NightKnight · 10-22-2004, 04:02 PM

Aragorn's black chain mail?

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-22-2004, 06:17 PM

Was it ever used east of the Anduin? Yes
Was it one of the Dunedain shields? No
Aragorn's black chain mail? No

Hint: When asked whether it is an object, I replied "Yes(ish)". It is not an object in the sense traditionallly regarded in this game.

Now, does that help or simply serve further to confuse?

Firefoot · 10-22-2004, 06:57 PM

Is it a thangail?

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-22-2004, 07:46 PM

What an inspired answer, Firefoot! How did you get it?

You are, of course, correct and I yield the thread to you.

Lhundulinwen · 10-22-2004, 09:20 PM

Is it a bridge?

rutslegolas · 10-22-2004, 11:07 PM

Ok Firefoot,

Third age ? ?

Evisse the Blue · 10-23-2004, 01:31 AM

That was a good one, Sauce! Firefoot, well done! Funny how I was going for all the wrong hints...

So, Is it living?

Fingolfin II · 10-23-2004, 01:34 AM

First Age?

NightKnight · 10-23-2004, 02:37 AM

Event?

BTW, what is a thangail?

Firefoot · 10-23-2004, 06:27 AM

"Yes(ish)" for the object tipped me off that it might be something more "indefinite", for lack of a better word.

NK, a thangail is a "shield fence", which is a battle formation used by Isildur at the Gladden Fields.

Is it a bridge? Nope
Third age ? ? Yep
So, Is it living? No
First Age? Unknown
Event? No
