gralin musicteeth · 12-08-2002, 05:21 PM

I have a new game!!!! I will ask a series of 10 questions (one at a time), and when someone gets it right, I will give them a point and I will ask another question. After 10 questions whoever has the most points gets to ask the next series of questions. Here is the first one:

1)How many children did Sam and Rose have?

Raefindel · 12-08-2002, 05:32 PM

Right! Next question...

2)Where did the Palantiri come from?

The Palantiri were made by Fëanor on Eldamar during the Eldar Days. The were given to the Lords of Andunië in Numenor during the Second Age.

He was originally a Maia, a servant of Aulë, but he took different forms throughout his life.

Morgoth Bauglir · 12-09-2002, 05:50 PM

the real findorfin · 12-10-2002, 12:02 PM

Elrond is correct, but Gil-Galad was already dead by then, was it galadriel?

Diamond18 · 12-10-2002, 12:35 PM

Elrond and Círdan.

the real findorfin · 12-10-2002, 12:54 PM

Vilya - Ring of Air - made of gold and has a sapphire - Gil-Galad then to Elrond.

Narya - Ring of Fire - red stone - Cirdan to gandalf - power to strengthen hearts.

nenya - Ring of Water - Mithril with white stone - galadriel.

LePetitChoux · 12-10-2002, 01:00 PM

Vilya (Gil-Galad's/Elrond's) had a sapphire, Narya (Gandalf's/Cirdan's) had a ruby, and Nenya (Galadriel's) had Adamant. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

gralin musicteeth · 12-10-2002, 03:00 PM

Very good, both of you! the real findorfin got to it first, though, and he said the elements so he gets it. Nice try though, Petit!

8)Who were Lomian's parents, and how did they die?

the real findorfin · 12-10-2002, 03:44 PM

Lomion = Maeglin so his parents were Aredhel and Eol. Aredhel died when Eol threw a poison dart at Maeglin and she jumped in the way. Eol's death was soon after as he was thrown from Caragdur on Turgon's orders.

Beren87 · 12-10-2002, 04:07 PM

How about... Pippin? I should have brought my books with me! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 12-12-2002, 01:59 PM

Merry, Pippin, Frodo.
Using Common Sense, as Sam wasn't really related to any of them, so it must be those 3. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 12-12-2002, 02:12 PM

Oh, it was asking for 3. Well, I feel DUMB! And I also agree with Petit. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 12-12-2002, 02:44 PM

Well, he really should have asked for 4, since Bilbo is related to her as well. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the real findorfin · 12-13-2002, 04:46 PM

OK, first question....Do Balrogs have Wings? NOOOO! Only joking.

1)What does the Sindarin word 'Rath' roughly translate to?

Nurumaiel · 12-13-2002, 05:01 PM

Street, maybe?

~Nurumaiel

the real findorfin · 12-13-2002, 05:21 PM

Maybe a bit too easy. Well done Nuru!

2) What was the emblem of Eregion?

Nuramaiel - 1

Beren87 · 12-13-2002, 10:05 PM

The holly tree?

Pallando B.C · 12-13-2002, 10:48 PM

A Black Serpant?

the real findorfin · 12-14-2002, 06:21 AM

Beren is close enough, it was Holly.

ok, next question...

3) Which Adan accompanied Turin when he went to slay Glaurung.

Nurumaiel - 1
Beren87 - 1
