Ok, sorry about the delay and thanks, Beren, for the reminder.

I'm not sure about the "Hidden Hero". I do know that Elwe (Thingol) was the "Hidden king" and his brothrs were Olwe and Elmo.

Hmmm...Hidden Hero.
A Hint would be nice. Could you tell us what race he belonged to?

This is an Elvish trivia so the race concerned is Elves.

I did some searching and now I must confess that my question may not be quite accurate: 'Hidden Hero' was given as a meaning (interpretation) for one elvish name in the Encyclopedia of Arda but now it seems that it might be a misinterpretation...

Dig up your Quenya lexicons! The word 'hidden' is a correct translation. The entire name would be perhaps 'Hidden desire'[?] but if you find the first word the name should be easy to guess...and then finding the brothers' names will be no challenge.

So sorry about the mix-up! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Can't blame anyone else but myself: tsk tsk for being too lazy to devise a decent question.

I think Arwen Imladris is right.

halda- means hidden
írë- means desire

so it must be his brothers, Rúmil and Orophin.

Hmmm. How about Multiple choice for a change? Well, that is what I am going to do.

Which one is NOT a division of elves?

a)Dark Elves
b)Calaquendi
c)Deep Elves
d)Grey-elves
e)Blue-elves
f)Golug

Yup, that was too easy wasn't it? I was trying to throw you with Blue elves because there are blue wizards, also with Golug, because it doesn't sound elvish, that is because it is the Orcish name for the Noldor. Your turn!

I wasn't sure what Golug meant...but I knew that there weren't any "Blue Elves" [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's another easy (but only if you know the answer) question:

Who was described as being "As kind as Summer.."?

Thank you, Beren, Saucepan, and everyone else who has gently nudged me toward my neglected threads in the last few days.

How many of the Eldar (*coughnottheperedhilcough*) chose mortality?

None? Luthien was the only "full Elf" that chose mortality, and she probably fits the category of Avari.

If Finwe is wrong (ya right!)then how about 3?

Elros
Arwen
Lúthien Tinúviel

Or maybe you are also counting Elrohir & Elladan?

Actually, Luthien is the answer I'm looking for, as Elros and Arwen are both considered half-elven. Luthien is of the Sindar, a branch of the Teleri who are Eldarin. So yes, Finwe, she's the answer, but she's not of the Avari.

Your go.

Sophia

Ah! Excellent! (BTW, sorry about the Avari thing!)

His name was changed by his father, who tried to change his fate. It didn't work, and he burned in his father's fire.
