Question

Ring of Barahir - because there was no fight for its possession?

hmmm

-Silmarils? wait wait! hear me out! only items not given as gifts at some point. see my reasoning

-the arkenstone was given to thorin oakenshield (well, his tomb) by bard
-vilya was given to Elrond from Gil-Galad
-Sting and the MIthril vest given to frodo from bilbo
-ring of barahir was a gift to barahir from finrod

now the silmarils, made by feanor, were never really given. only recovered through war. And even stolen by Maedhros and Maglor. so there!

Sting didn't have any jewels on it.

Silmarils and Arkenstone - Duh...
Vilya had a sapphire, if I remember it rightly
The mithril vest had pearl and crystal in a belt
The Ring of Barahir had emeralds in it

White-Hand 10 day rule

Technically, Estanesse is correct.

The Quiz Room rules state:


Quote:
A thread may be considered stagnant if, after at least 10 days, no new question has been asked following confirmation of a correct answer, or no response has been given by the question setter to the last answer. In those circumstances, anyone may ask a new question on the topic.
Since the last post before the thread was revived was by the question-setter (Estanesse) and it was not confirming a correct answer, the rule does not technically apply.

However, you are right, Perky, in the sense that it should apply in these circumstances. I will amend the rules accordingly.

White-Hand Just a guess...

Silmarils...all of the others were present in the 3rd Age - either in the Hobbit or LOTR.

The Ring of Barahir; it was the only item to be owned by Aragorn.

nope. Here's a hint, it has nothing to do with the people who made it.

The Arkenstone because Frodo never looked upon it.
#2
The Arkenstone because it was the only thing not worn.???

Hehe. I've got you guys so well trained.

Strictly speaking, it isn't over the 10 page limit yet, but this seems as good a time as any to start a new thread as it soon will be. I'll close it now and then you can start a new one, Perky. Please remember to include the rules for the game in your first post.

Thanks.

White-Hand Thread re-opened

No new version of this game appears to have been opened up after this thread was closed. Since there is no longer any problem with thread length, I am re-opening it and bumping it up.

Anyone may ask a new question.

I know the answer to Elwe's question: Angainor was a chain, all the other ones were horns.

Ok then looks like I spent to long finding a question. I'll say....they all have their own light source. Sting Glowed and the Phial of Galadriel and the Silmarils obviously shone.
NightKnight was right though.
