Thank you.
Sorry, I forgot about this thread.

Here's the new question:
What made Aragorn so suspicious in the lands of Eregion (later Hollin)?

Hm, sorry this has taken forever... *embarrassed face* Since this thread was Very Easy Trivia I was only thinking of a swan, not which color. And since I'm in the process of moving I haven't got my books to look it up, so I have absolutely no idea what color the thing was. Lathspell, you take it cause you had swan first. Many apologies.

Sophia

Thank you, Sophia! If of course someone who has the books (I don't have them here either since I'm at my gf's house) can give us the quote of that color, please let us know.
In the meantime this is the next question:

At which obstacle did Lenwe and the Nandor turn aside?

The West Door would be the door made by Narvi and decorated by Celebrimbor. The first spell, I'm rather less sure of. Do you mean the first spell that set up the "Speak Friend and Enter" System, or the first spell cast when the Fellowship arrived there? In situation A) I haven't the foggiest, Celebrimbor or Narvi would be the logical guesses, in situation B) Gandalf of course.

I found a reference in either UT or the Silm, which said that Celebrimbor set the "Speak Friend and Enter" spell into the runes around the gate......*blushing*...but I didn't mark the page, and now I can't find it [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Never mind... your go Sophia [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
