Sorry Pitch. I missed that on the page break.

It is not west of the Misty Mountains . Wish I hadn't done a place now I have no sense of direction whatsoever.

It isn't west of Anduin either.

Galadriel55 · 06-02-2011, 07:38 AM

Is it in Ithilien?

Mithalwen · 06-02-2011, 07:47 AM

It is in Ithilien... which means I got all that tricksy east west stuff right...

Galadriel55 · 06-02-2011, 07:52 AM

Is it Henneth Annun?

Mithalwen · 06-02-2011, 10:39 AM

It is. Love the window on the west...

Galadriel55 · 06-02-2011, 02:23 PM

Too easy? I don't think so. It's just that Henneth Annun is what I first think of when I hear "Ithilien".

I have a (hopefully) tricksy one in mind...

Mithalwen · 06-02-2011, 03:34 PM

Place - yes

West of Anduin - I'm tempted to say yes, but that would confuse everyone... so yesno.

Mithalwen · 06-03-2011, 08:40 AM

Ooh Couple of options spring to mind.. Tol Brandir?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-03-2011, 12:48 PM

Difficult to answer without giving it away. I guess another yesno will have to suffice.

As for the course, Emyn Muil was in the right direction.

And another hint: don't take Anduin as the center of everything. Don't concentrate on it too much.

Mithalwen · 06-04-2011, 10:48 AM

Try a different tack - is it "visited" by (a) member(s) of the fellowship during the Ring quest

Falls of Rauros - no
Is it above Rauros - yesno.
Is it situated on the course of the River Anduin? - yesno...

Another difficult question... If I stick to the word "visited", then no... But If you say "Was a member of the fellowship in it during the War", then yes. All of them were.

Mithalwen · 06-04-2011, 12:30 PM

That is what I meant by visited - that someone was there rather than the place referred to... or somewhere that they probably been sometime but not that we know about.

So as I said, they all have been in that place...

Yes and it is the ALL that is puzzling me!!!! Very tricksy.
