Cirion, in his oath of friendship, refers to Eru (in Quenya).

Voronwe · 04-14-2002, 06:03 AM

Quite correct.

Turambar · 04-14-2002, 08:02 AM

Whose (heraldric) sign was a sable mole ?

Mat_Heathertoes · 04-14-2002, 04:28 PM

Why, that would be coat of arms of Meglin/Maeglin of Gondolin

Turambar · 04-14-2002, 06:54 PM

Correct, Mat.

Mat_Heathertoes · 04-15-2002, 03:53 AM

what is/was the Burning Briar and what is it called in Quenya ?

twinkle · 04-16-2002, 02:13 PM

"Many names have these [the Seven Stars] been called, but in the old days of the North both Elves and Men called them the Burning Briar, and some the Sickle of the Gods."

Sickle of the Gods or Valacirca

Mat_Heathertoes · 04-18-2002, 04:17 PM

Correct Twinkle, you may proceed.

twinkle · 05-06-2002, 01:16 PM

what was Nardol, where was it, what was its purpose?

05-06-2002, 06:19 PM

Nardol was one of the signal beacons of Gondor, used to quickly spread a message or summons throughout the kingdom.

twinkle · 05-07-2002, 02:36 PM

that's absolutely correct Elfalmari....

Legolas · 06-17-2002, 11:56 PM

During what season did Morwen send Túrin off to Thingol?

Mat_Heathertoes · 06-19-2002, 03:42 PM

Autumn

Legolas · 10-03-2002, 01:02 PM

Yes, of course.

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 11:57 AM

Mat hasn't been around in quite sometime. To continue this thread...

Who did Círdan send south under the direction of Ulmo?

Eruhen · 10-09-2002, 06:36 AM

I want to say Voronwë, but I don't think that's right.

Telchar · 10-09-2002, 07:02 AM

hmmm - Gelmir and Arminas?

Legolas · 10-09-2002, 07:52 AM

Yes, Telchar.

Telchar · 10-09-2002, 09:34 AM

Under what other name do we know Belegor?

zifnab · 10-09-2002, 10:12 AM

Morgoth?

Telchar · 10-09-2002, 10:44 AM

Yeah! you go Ziffy [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

zifnab · 10-09-2002, 10:51 AM

Whose "Fëanorian lamp" let Turin stare on the face of the slain Beleg?

Eruhen · 10-21-2002, 09:57 AM

Voronwë.

Lindolirian · 11-13-2002, 07:59 PM

No, it would be the lamp of Gwindor. Tuor, Turin's cousin saw the lamp of Voronwë.

Legolas · 01-02-2003, 06:31 PM

Looks like zifnab's out for a while - go ahead Lind!

Lindolirian · 05-19-2003, 08:39 PM

As I brush away the dust in the back halls of the Quiz Room, I find a thread that is in my control. How silly of me!

Who were the Falmarindi?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-19-2003, 09:48 PM

The Falmari are the Sea Elves, those of the Teleri who went to Aman. I will guess, though I'm likely wrong, that Falmarindi is an early form for that same group?

Sophia

Annunfuiniel · 05-20-2003, 02:31 AM

Falmaríni were the spirits of sea foam that followed Ossë&Ónen(Uinen) to Arda. Is that the answer you are looking for?

~Annun

Lindolirian · 05-20-2003, 02:35 PM

Sorry for the misspelling. Yes, it was Sophia's answer I was looking for.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-23-2003, 07:10 PM

Hm, this may be much too easy, but:

Who was Gandalf's original captor?

Tulkas the Mighty · 05-28-2003, 09:27 AM

Saruman?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-28-2003, 07:00 PM

No Sir.

Samwise Gamgee · 05-28-2003, 07:45 PM

Morgoth at the dungeons of Dol Guldur?

Samwise Gamgee · 05-28-2003, 07:45 PM

Actually - I mean sauron - but he is referred to as morgoth, or am I just mixed up (as usual)

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-28-2003, 07:48 PM

Sauron and Morgoth are different people [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Samwise Gamgee · 05-28-2003, 07:49 PM

OK, well then my answer is by Sauron in the dungeons of Dol Guldur - FINAL answer
