OK, this is my second shot at the LOTR quizzes. Here’s the question:

Which character’s tomb was found in Moria?

Hint: This character is not seen in the movie.

Tinuviel the Nightingale · 04-05-2003, 01:40 AM

Was it Balin son of Fundin?

The Evenstar · 04-05-2003, 11:02 AM

Correct! OK, you can continue.

Tinuviel the Nightingale · 04-05-2003, 10:09 PM

Who posesses the Elven ring Nenya?

Beren87 · 04-05-2003, 10:21 PM

Galadriel!

Tinuviel the Nightingale · 04-07-2003, 05:49 AM

Yes you are of course, very correct. Your go.

05-08-2004, 12:32 PM

*clears throat* your go

NightKnight · 05-08-2004, 02:08 PM

It's over a year since anyone asked anything in here, so I think the 10 days-rule applies here. Anyone?

I think it does.

NightKnight · 05-09-2004, 01:19 AM

So...

Which characters were killed by Sauron in the end of the Second Age?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-17-2006, 12:40 AM

(Yes, it's fun!

)

Enedwaith, where did Faramir dwell after the War of the Ring?

NightKnight · 02-17-2006, 02:22 PM

Emyn Arnen?

Gil-Galad · 02-17-2006, 06:17 PM

wasn't it Dol Amroth...

Glirdan · 02-17-2006, 06:21 PM

No, it wasn't Dol Amroth. Prince Imrahil rules there. I know it's somewhere in Ithilien and I do believe that NightKnight is right.

i know he rules there, AFTER WotR i'm pretty sure when Imrahil doesn't rule there Faramir and Eowyn take residency, seesh Glirdan i'm not stupid, Imrahil is like my idol i try to know as much as i can about him ,way to insult me and make me mad...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-19-2006, 06:30 AM

And, welcome back.

Your thread. Boggle our minds.

NightKnight · 02-24-2006, 12:12 PM

Thank you. And I'm too lazy to be active here nowadays. :P

Where did Radagast live?

Valier · 06-02-2006, 12:27 PM

Well since no one has been on here in awhile...Thinlomien your are correct! (I checked his family tree to be sure) Take it away!

Thank'ee, Valier.

Who was Edrahil?

Dimturiel · 06-06-2006, 08:50 AM

He was an Elf of Nargothrond who accompanied Finrod and Beren on their quest.

Correcto. Take the thread.

Beleg Cuthalion · 05-29-2007, 09:20 AM

It was Fili (just so you know for sure).

Finduilas · 05-29-2007, 09:53 AM

lol. So sorry that I didn't know, but it seems as if two guesses are allowed, and Legate kind of guessed two, and therefore would have gotten it.

Thanks Beleg.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-29-2007, 02:19 PM

Well, I actually wasn't sure which one was it, but I knew it was one of them. But okay, let's have another.

Could you name some Middle-Earth's vegetarian? (Of course, the question is not based just on an assumption, but on real evidence from the books which explicitely states that someone was a vegetarian.)

Finduilas · 05-29-2007, 02:39 PM

Beorn. Unless vegetarians don't drink milk or eat honey...

The Might · 05-29-2007, 02:44 PM

Depends...Lacto-ovo vegetarianism means you also eat honey, milk and eggs, while veganism means none of them.
But I was thinking about Fangorn. I mean ent draughts are vegan, right?

Narawen_Eluchil · 07-08-2007, 02:49 PM

Balin, Lord of Moria

Beanamir of Gondor · 07-10-2007, 08:45 AM

See, my first thought was Bilbo, because of the trolls arguing over how best to cook him. However I don't have my copy of The Hobbit with me, and something's making me think "caught and eaten" is more specific... maybe it's one of the dwarves. I'll have to check back.

Rikae · 07-10-2007, 09:33 AM

Thorin? Wasn't he the last to come up to the group of trolls, and realised the danger?
Not that anyone was actually cooked, though, so I suppose this is wrong...

Gil-Galad · 07-10-2007, 12:12 PM

i was going to say Bilbo but he has already been said... and now i want to say Bombur because when he got captured by the spiders of Mirkwood he was being constantly poked while the other dwarves were poisoned by the spiders...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-11-2007, 10:40 AM

Nah, all your answers are wrong. One hint: what am I saying in the question is absolutely true and is 100% according to the book. And it is no metaphore or something like that. Quite the opposite (and that's the main thing on which the riddle is based): I am interpretating the book literally.
