paavo · 02-11-2005, 10:11 AM

The correct answer is ( of course

) Artamir! His unfortunate death made it possible for Aragorn to claim the title of the king and unite Arnor and Gondor. Next letter please

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 05:41 PM

Didn't see that one coming. Tricksy, paavo.

T.

Somebod should get it now . . .

Firefoot · 02-13-2005, 06:13 PM

Is it a name of Galadriel?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 06:24 PM

Firefoot would get it.

Yes, it is Artanis!

Your thread.

Firefoot · 02-13-2005, 06:59 PM

Thanks.

Now this is one game where it is more challenging to set the question than to answer... I'll try to balance that out for y'all.

paavo · 02-14-2005, 09:44 AM

I have a huge temptation to use finnish again but I'll resist the temptation (for now

). Were they made with a substance which was made from mithril?

my anwser was Mahtan, who taught Feanor the skills of a craftsman but later regrets it because feanor created the Silmarils which led to the flight of the Noldor

Firefoot · 02-18-2005, 02:51 PM

MA.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-21-2005, 10:43 PM

Firefoot · 02-27-2005, 03:44 PM

Have you seen him here? Not the Master

Is it one whose real name was forgotten (and not mentioned in the legendarium) and replaced by an epessë? I guess that means it's from HoME somewhere... I give up (I never liked this question anyway - it makes my brain hurt.)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-28-2005, 09:56 PM

I thought this is all quite normal to you. Y'know, doing quiz stuff while eating, or while doing the laundry, or . . .

Ahem.

Yes. Well, at least it proves that even one of the most masterful Quizzies can be hurt.

Enough with the flattering. Give the bloody answer.

It's Mablung. He got his name after the quest of the Silmaril, as he was the chap who plucked the shiny pebble from Carcharoth's roasted innards, and his hands was weighed down holding the not-quite-light Silmaril. Hence, Heavy Hand.

Nächtse Buchstabe, bitte.
