HoME is where the heart is.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The heart of Middle-Earth, that is. This is a quiz game devoted to asking questions about the History of Middle-Earth series and is doubly tricksy because some stuff made it into LotR and the Silmarillion and some didn't- it's up to you to figure out the right answer.

(Note to mods- I searched for a quiz game on HoME and couldn't find one; please feel free to shut this down if it's a duplicate.)

Anyway, which infamous character did Earendil slay in earlier versions of the Silmarillion that did not find it's way into the published Sil.?

Good work, I was actually planning on starting a thread like this, but I hadn't decided whether to do it on HoME or just BoLT.

And the answer to your question is Ungoliant.

Thanks, NightKnight.

You're answer is correct, too

So I'm lucky I just read that today...

Gruir and Afros.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-06-2005, 05:09 AM

Your go.
