Stoors.

Yes! And the Winner is.....Annunfuiniel!!!!

The board is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 03-17-2003, 06:59 PM

Well Done Annunfuiniel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-18-2003, 02:26 AM

Oh, thank you and thank you! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ok, question #1: Who was the 10. King of Mark and how was he related to his predecessor?

Eruanna · 03-18-2003, 04:57 AM

The Tenth King of the Mark was Frealaf. He was the nephew (sister-son) of Helm Hammerhand....sorry, I don't know how to do the little accents and umlauts.

Annunfuiniel · 03-18-2003, 01:37 PM

And the first point goes to Eruanna! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

2) Who made the Elessar?

gilraën · 03-18-2003, 01:43 PM

Feanor?

Gil-Galad · 03-18-2003, 05:41 PM

Elrond?

gilraën · 03-18-2003, 06:25 PM

If it wasn't Feanor then it must have been Enerdhil?

Annunfuiniel · 03-19-2003, 04:49 AM

I will accept gilraën's second guess, Enerdhil, though there is no definite right answer to this question. Some sources name Celebrimbor as the maker of the Elessar. (For more info look the UT; the story of Galadriel and Celeborn)

3) How many Hurins are there mentioned in Tolkien's writings?

Could you please identify these five. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Otherwise it's quite impossible to judge your answer...

Pallando B.C · 03-19-2003, 04:16 PM

Four.

• Húrin, fifth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
• Húrin, fourteenth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
• Húrin, father of Túrin.

Annunfuiniel · 03-20-2003, 10:16 AM

You're halfway there with the sceptre of Annuminas. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But Aragorn got the Elessar from Galadriel in Lothlórien during the War of the Rings...

Eruanna · 03-20-2003, 11:07 AM

The Crown of Eänur?
The Sceptre of Annúminas?

Annunfuiniel · 03-20-2003, 11:23 AM

He got the crown when he was crowned...
Ok, your LOTR's are of no use here! Run, to find your UT's!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Rochelle · 03-20-2003, 12:32 PM

Ok I think I found it...

The chain and box that had once held the ring around Isildur's neck and the Elendilmir.

These two things were found in Orthanc.

Eruanna · 03-20-2003, 12:33 PM

The Sceptre and......the Ring of Barahir??

gilraën · 03-20-2003, 12:55 PM

I'd say that Rochelle was right and it was the Elendilmir.

Annunfuiniel · 03-20-2003, 01:51 PM

Ok, now we have both items! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I have decided to give two points on this round, one for elven maiden Earwen (for the Sceptre) and one for Rochelle (for the Elendilmir). Hope that's fine for you. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tintallë was a name given to Varda Elentári it translates to "the kindler"

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo

Annunfuiniel · 03-22-2003, 08:19 AM

No gralin, the gates were made of mithril and steel, at least according to my books. So, Eruanna got that one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-22-2003, 10:58 AM

Annunfuiniel · 03-22-2003, 01:33 PM

I believe everything isn't quite right with that answer, gilraën...

gilraën · 03-22-2003, 02:09 PM

of course it's the Battle of Unnumbered Tears - Ninaeth Arnoediad.

It's too late to win, but I feel like answering anyway

Golden Perch-an Inn, supposebly has the best Ale.
Golden Tree-Laurelin
The Golden Wood-Lorien o'course
Goldilocks Took-Daughter of Sam Gamgee
Goldberry-Wife of Tom
(and now I'm going to cheat and look one up cause I can't think of anymore)
Goldworthy-Family of Hobbits!

Annunfuiniel · 03-22-2003, 02:48 PM

Good job, Beren! And nice to know that you too have to cheat sometimes if only this once, it makes you more...hmmm...like the rest of us! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Oh, and I thought of these 'Golden' "things" as well: Golden Hall (Meduseld), Goldenbed (river Ascar after the treasure of Doriath was thrown there by Beren and co.); also Ar-Pharazôn and Smaug were generally referred to as 'Golden'.

And so, the winner with 4 points is...gilraën!! Hooray and congrats!

gilraën · 03-22-2003, 04:36 PM

Oh I think I'll strangle that Beren for having me win by default. I'm no good at questions but I'll try, good luck [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
