Well, tell what tower was considered the "Citadel of the Stars" and where it is located. Also tell me which tower is "The Tower of the Sun" and what it's previous name is. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Ha HA HA! Try your luck!

Grey_pilgrim · 09-22-2002, 12:38 PM

Osgiliath is the citadel of the stars (which is somewhere in gondor), but i'm not sure what the other is. could it be minas anor? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Morgoth Bauglir · 09-22-2002, 07:52 PM

Osgiliath= citadel of the stars

Minas Tirith= tower of gaurd, current name for tower of the sun, which was Minas Anor

Telchar · 09-25-2002, 03:30 AM

you are of course bothe correct - I think one of you should proceed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Grey_pilgrim · 09-25-2002, 10:50 AM

ok shall i ask a question or what? maybe we should wait for confirmation from the thread starter - though that could be some time yet! Morgoth you can go if you like [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

09-26-2002, 05:09 PM

Sorry I took so long, but the first person who responded was correct, so was everybody else. And
I thought that someone would have gotten it later! Well, Osgilliath is located about 50 miles or so from Minas Tirith, where Boromir held off a group of orcs shortly before he joined the fellowship. That was for some good answers! So go ahead!

merlilot · 09-26-2002, 08:04 PM

Just testing the pic I stole from Alatariel..."thief, theif, we hates it forever!"

Anyway. Is this sposed to be trivia about various ME towers, or what?

Grey_pilgrim · 09-27-2002, 12:33 AM

i dont know - which is why im not asking a question. mordormaster(02) is this quiz just about towers or about anything? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

09-29-2002, 09:42 AM

This is onlyabout the Towers, or the people in them! So continue! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Orome · 09-29-2002, 12:13 PM

any towers in particular?

Grey_pilgrim · 09-29-2002, 01:04 PM

o ill just ask a question about any towers.
really easy one here:
what was the name of saruman's tower in isengard? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] told you it was easy!!

TolkienGurl · 09-29-2002, 03:10 PM

Orthanc [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What was the name of the tower whose ruins are on Weathertop?

akhtene · 09-29-2002, 06:04 PM

Amon Sul

How else is the White Tower of Minas Tirith called? And why?

merlilot · 09-29-2002, 07:44 PM

Mundburg by the people of Rohan for whatever reason...I don't know Rohirric (yet).
And Minas Anor was its original name, partly because it was the city of Anorien, and partly because it was the Western city, and the sun (anor) sets in the west.

akhtene · 09-30-2002, 05:23 PM

Sorry
Mundburg's the name for Minas Tirith, but that's not what I meant.

What about it's White Tower ?

09-30-2002, 08:55 PM

Could anyone solve this anagram?

Long is gloom if in

Grey_pilgrim · 10-01-2002, 01:12 AM

i was never aware the white tower was called anything but the white tower, except maybe the tower of ecthelion. i shall have to go look it up!

Grey_pilgrim · 10-01-2002, 01:16 AM

oh an as for the anagram, i guess that would be gimli son of gloin

akhtene · 10-02-2002, 06:22 PM

The tower of Ecthelion it is, as Ecthelion II
had it rebuilt

Grey_pilgrim, your turn

Grey_pilgrim · 10-06-2002, 05:53 AM

ok, thx...i have just realised that i dont know hardly anything about towers worth asking a question about...help! ok: this is really easy but well anyways..
.:: what was the name of the 'dark tower' of sauron in mordor?::.

lathspell · 10-06-2002, 01:01 PM

Barad-dur or Lugburz

What is the translation of Amon Sul, the tower on Weathertop?

Susan Delgado · 10-06-2002, 01:21 PM

I can't find the right place to look, but I'm remembering "wind"...Tower of Wind. Is that right?

edit: Oh, I found it, and "Windy Hill" was pretty close to what I said...

What is Isengard's other name? (I'm not looking for Orthanc)

[ October 06, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Telchar · 10-07-2002, 01:31 AM

Angrenost

lathspell · 10-07-2002, 09:21 AM

Windy was pretty close indeed. It is 'Hill of the Wind' as far as I know, but I'll give that to you.

Go for it!

greetings once more,
lathspell

lathspell · 10-07-2002, 11:03 AM

Windy Hill, that should be (avoinding misunderstandings) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-08-2002, 03:21 AM

What was the names of the Towers of the Teeth

Aramacil · 10-08-2002, 03:45 AM

My guess would be
Celebdil and .....i don't know anything else what would make sense.

Telchar · 10-08-2002, 04:24 AM

Celebdil is a mountain - the towers of the teeth are two manbuildt towers - so nope...

lathspell · 10-09-2002, 09:32 AM

that would be Narchost and Carchost

Telchar · 10-09-2002, 09:35 AM

Yes Lathspell - go on [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

lathspell · 10-10-2002, 09:48 AM

On what hill was the Dark Tower of Mirkwood built? (and if you wanna be the best, name the translation as well) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Childlike Empress · 10-10-2002, 04:19 PM

Dol Guldor: "Hill of Sorcery"

I named both, do I get a cookie? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ October 10, 2002: Message edited by: Childlike Empress ]

lathspell · 10-11-2002, 03:01 AM

eeemm... I'm sorry, but you did not name them both. APart from the misspelling (which I don't regard as a mistake), it was not Dol Guldur I was looking for. Dol Guldur is the name of the Tower, but not of the hill.

Try again!

*hands CE a cookie anyway* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

greetings,
lathspell

gralin musicteeth · 10-11-2002, 10:45 AM

What are Istari? please tell me. thanks

Childlike Empress · 10-11-2002, 11:28 AM

The Istari are the Wizards, gramil

It is never named as anything but "Dol Guldor", and according to the translation thingy in the back of the Sil, "Dol Guldor" means "Hill of Sorcery"

What misspelling?

lathspell · 10-11-2002, 12:07 PM

The Dol GuldOr is Dol GuldUr... that's themisspelling. And there is another name: Amon Lanc that hill is named.

There seems to be some misunderstanding or so. If that is my fault, I apologize. Please do ask the next question, Childlike Empress. Let us go on!

greetings,
lathspell

gralin musicteeth · 10-11-2002, 02:02 PM

where are the rest of the palantir?

Childlike Empress · 10-11-2002, 11:10 PM

Where'd you get that name, Lathspell? I couldn't find it.

Easy one: What are the names of the two hills flanking the Falls of Rauros, in both Westron and Sindarin?

[ October 12, 2002: Message edited by: Childlike Empress ]

Glorfinniel the Lost · 10-12-2002, 12:28 AM

Amon Lhaw(The Hill of Hearing) and Amon Hen(The Hill of Sight).
