Lindolirian · 05-06-2002, 04:05 PM

Alright. Where is Girdly Island?

Flittermouse · 05-07-2002, 07:48 PM

Anduin?

Lindolirian · 05-08-2002, 02:16 PM

Nope.

Mat_Heathertoes · 05-08-2002, 05:46 PM

It's an eyot of the Baranduin, situated north of the Bridge of Stonebows.

Lindolirian · 05-09-2002, 04:11 PM

Correct!

Mat_Heathertoes · 05-09-2002, 04:43 PM

Another name for the Celduin ?

Lómelindi · 05-09-2002, 06:02 PM

The River Running

Mat_Heathertoes · 05-11-2002, 04:52 PM

Lómelindi · 05-11-2002, 08:09 PM

What is the proper name of the Abode of the Eagles, and where is it?

Lindolirian · 05-14-2002, 02:22 PM

Hmmmm..... perhaps Crissaegrim in the Encircling Mountains around Gondolin?

Lómelindi · 05-14-2002, 04:55 PM

You got it. Go forth.

Lindolirian · 05-17-2002, 06:48 PM

Hmmm precioussss... we must think of something tough for these nasssty under-ground creatures:

What was the common name for The Green Province?

Lindolirian · 05-20-2002, 07:52 PM

Flittermouse · 05-22-2002, 06:21 PM

Eriador

Lindolirian · 05-23-2002, 02:22 PM

Nope

Dior · 05-24-2002, 08:18 AM

Suza

Lindolirian · 05-24-2002, 03:50 PM

No. i'll give ya a hint.
Translate it into elvish (sindarin i think) and you'll probably hit yourself over the head and wonder why you didn't know it....

Lómelindi · 05-24-2002, 09:29 PM

Calenardhon

Dior · 05-24-2002, 09:29 PM

ROHAN!!!!!!!! Yep, I did exactly that.

Dior · 05-24-2002, 09:31 PM

WHAT!!! Beat me to it!

Lindolirian · 05-25-2002, 12:11 PM

Well both of you are correct but, Lomelindi was more correct and got it first. Poor Dior went above and beyond but took him too long... Your go Lomelindi.

Lómelindi · 05-25-2002, 03:30 PM

What is the rarest name by which Númenor is called?

Lindolirian · 05-25-2002, 05:06 PM

Maybe Elendor the Land of the Star.

Lómelindi · 05-25-2002, 08:09 PM

Close…it was Starwards, but I'll give it to you.

Lindolirian · 05-27-2002, 06:17 PM

What was the common name of the of Kalórmë?

Joy · 05-28-2002, 02:19 AM

Sunrising Hill - it is the highest mountain, except for Taniquetil. It is opposite Calacirya.

Lindolirian · 05-28-2002, 05:16 PM

round of applause for Joy!!!

Joy · 05-30-2002, 10:39 PM

What is the common name for 'Baraz'?

Joy · 06-04-2002, 08:47 PM

Anyone have a clue??? Or do I need to give a hint.

Lómelindi · 06-04-2002, 09:18 PM

Redhorn is the common name of "Baraz," which in itself is short for "Barazinbar," the Dwarvish name for Caradhas.

Lómelindi · 06-05-2002, 07:31 PM

Is that right?

Joy · 06-05-2002, 08:25 PM

Very good Lómelindi! Your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lómelindi · 06-05-2002, 08:41 PM

What is the common name of Uruktharbum?

(I'll give you a hint: it's Dwarvish, and it was later replaced by another Dwarvish name for the same place.)

Mat_Heathertoes · 06-06-2002, 08:49 AM

That would a possible early Khuzdul word for Moria, as we all know it was replaced by Khazad-dûm

HoME VI Return of the Shadow p458

Lómelindi · 06-06-2002, 04:47 PM

Correct! Go Dwarves.

Lindolirian · 06-28-2002, 10:36 AM

Mat hasn't replied and I love this thread, so I'll just keep it going with another question.
Where is Dor-Winion?

BTW I have figured out where it is, I DO know the answer, i'm not just asking.

Lómelindi · 06-28-2002, 11:51 AM

I think this is close…
Dorwinion is a little-known land in the vales of the River Running (very well renowned for its gardens and vineyards).

Lindolirian · 06-29-2002, 01:28 PM

Yes, its kinda sandwiched between Celduin and the Sea of Rhun.

Lómelindi · 06-29-2002, 08:55 PM

What land was created (or rather, renamed) after the Dagor Bragollach?
