Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-30-2003, 07:55 AM

...or which city in the North was founded by Elendil?

Annúminas. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Heni · 12-30-2003, 08:33 AM

Oooops..yes sorry. That was a terrible sentence.

Carry on my friend!

Gil-Galad · 01-01-2004, 05:41 PM

actually Fornost was founded befoer Annumimas.. since alot of the cities were made aroudn hte same time...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-28-2004, 07:58 PM

A simple one:

Who is the father of Elendil?

Thorongil · 01-29-2004, 02:50 AM

That would be Amandil.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-29-2004, 08:56 PM

That would be correct. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Thorongil · 01-30-2004, 01:58 AM

Who became king of Numenor in year 2899(Second Age)?

01-30-2004, 03:28 AM

Thorongil · 01-30-2004, 06:16 AM

Yes it is.

01-30-2004, 01:16 PM

Ok what was the name of the South Western "point" of the island of Numenor?

Arvedui III · 01-31-2004, 03:00 PM

Wasn't it called Hyarnustar?

Gil-Galad · 02-01-2004, 11:06 AM

Isn't this about the people of Numenor?

Arvedui III · 02-01-2004, 01:33 PM

Yeah. I was kinda wondering about that too... Ar Olly?

The Perky Ent · 02-16-2004, 08:16 PM

10 day rule! New question! Who was the 3rd Queen of Numenor? Man, that was easy!

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 06:53 PM

Tar-Vanimalde?

Arvedui III · 02-26-2004, 12:54 PM

*Bump*

I think NightKnight has it.

The Perky Ent · 03-04-2004, 05:22 PM

Why yes she was...unless J.R.R. Tolkien was lying! Your go!

NightKnight · 03-06-2004, 10:38 AM

I doubt he was.

What was said to be the oldest object in ME made by men?

symestreem · 03-06-2004, 05:31 PM

The sceptre of Annuminas, which was the "silver rod of the Lords of Andunie".

NightKnight · 03-06-2004, 06:09 PM

That is correct. Your turn.

symestreem · 03-07-2004, 09:33 AM

Who ensured the continuance of the line of trees?

NightKnight · 03-07-2004, 10:28 AM

Isildur did.

symestreem · 03-09-2004, 03:31 PM

Yes.

NightKnight · 03-10-2004, 01:35 AM

How many ships survived the downfall of Númenor?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-10-2004, 02:29 AM

So if my Math is correct...carry one...find the derivative of that...the sinusoidial curve...then look at the Silm...that's nine; four for Elendil in the north, three for Isildur, and two for Anarion in the south.

NightKnight · 03-10-2004, 08:38 AM

Perfect. Nice math there.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-10-2004, 08:16 PM

The last step did the trick.

What is Aldarion's birth name?

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-11-2004, 12:20 PM

Anardil

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-11-2004, 07:23 PM

Your turn, Mr. of Dunharrow.

Bruce MacCulloch · 04-04-2004, 11:06 PM

Sorry I took so long in asking the next question - I had some "things" come up.

Anyway - here goes:

What Numenorean weapons are reported as being "most greatly feared"?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-04-2004, 11:32 PM

Hollow-point steel arrows, fully an ell long. Combine a hundred of those and you get the storm of steel.

Bruce MacCulloch · 04-04-2004, 11:40 PM

Close enough - although technically arrows are ammunition , not weapons . Your go.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-04-2004, 11:47 PM

Oh! Hehe...*embarrassed blush*

Name two Númenórean leaders of the Haradrim during Gil-galad's time.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-25-2004, 07:30 PM

Anyone? It's really not that hard...

Gil-Galad · 04-26-2004, 06:49 AM

Herumor and Furinur(Fuinur?) not much is said of them though....but i guess everyone needs a leader
