A New Game II - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-13-2003, 01:18 PM

Here is the score as it stood at the time of the closing of the old thread:

Saucepans- 3
gilraen- 2
Alak- 2
Beren- 1
Beruthiel- 1

Here's the last question of the series:

10) What was the name of the third child of Finduilas(II)?

Sophia

Beren87 · 06-13-2003, 04:32 PM

Finduilas bore only two children to Denothor II, Boromir and Faramir.

Orofaniel · 06-13-2003, 04:35 PM

Yeah, I think beren is right...In my book I could only find that Findulias had two children, Boromir and Faramir. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-13-2003, 07:11 PM

Aah! I feel incredibly stupid now [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]. Thanks for catching that Beren. I meant Steward Ecthelion II, and of course his youngest child (Denethor) married Finduilas. Must remember to think before I post...

Beren gets this point for catching my glaring mistake.

Final Score:
Saucepans- 3
gilraen- 2
Beren-2
Alak- 2
Beruthiel- 1

Please carry on, O Cacaphonous Cadaver...

Thank you O essence of Evermind. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK, here we go:

1) What happened in the Shire on Friday the first of Summerfilth? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 06-17-2003, 12:53 PM

something that would never happen? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Orofaniel · 06-17-2003, 01:33 PM

Quote:

1) What happened in the Shire on Friday the first of Summerfilth?

I think when the Shire folk talked about Friday the first of Summerfilith they reffered to a day that did not exist, or to a day on which unlikely events such as flying pigs or(in the Shire) the walking of trees might occur. In the full expression; On Friday the first of Summerfilth. This is because of what they called the Shire-reform. They created this because they found the shifting of the weekday names in relation to dates from year to year inconvenient and untidy. They later arragned that the odd day which put the successin out, should'n have a weekday name. So after Mid-year's day the day was only known by it's name and belonged no week.

Could it be it? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nice detail, Orofaniel, but elven maiden Earwen's more succinct answer fits the bill too, I'm afraid. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen - 1

2) What was the purpose of beating the bounds?

alaklondewen · 06-17-2003, 09:49 PM

Hm...I believe this was the job of the Bounders of the Shire. They beat the bounds to keep strange folk and creatures (wolves, maybe) from crossing the borders of the Shire?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-19-2003, 08:09 PM

Indeed they did, alak. Their main purpose was to keep out "outsiders".

3) In whose death were Bill Ferny and Harry Goatleaf involved?

alaklondewen · 06-19-2003, 09:05 PM

"Three and two...There was poor Mat Heathertoes, and Rowlie Appledore, and little Tom Pickthorn from over the Hill; and Willie Banks from up-away, and one of the Underhills from Staddle; all good fellows, and they're missed."

4) Who was Denethor II's sister-in-law?

alaklondewen · 06-20-2003, 06:26 PM

Is she Ivriniel?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-20-2003, 07:24 PM

She is indeed, O Butterfly Maiden. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

5) Who was the Lord of the Coasts?

Beren87 · 06-20-2003, 07:31 PM

Ulmo?

alaklondewen · 06-20-2003, 08:41 PM

Tarannon Falastur called himself the Lord of the Coasts. He was the first ship king.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-22-2003, 11:46 AM

Alaklondewen has it. It was indeed Tarannon Falastur.

elven maiden Earwen - 1
alaklondewen - 4

6) What variety of pipeweed was grown on the south slopes of Bree Hill, and how did it compare to that grown in the Southfarthing?

Arestevana · 06-22-2003, 03:50 PM

I can't find a direct reference, but have one guess. Could it be Southlinch, as Butterbur said, no match for Southfarthing?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-22-2003, 07:01 PM

Correct, Arestevana, Southlinch it was. And indeed it was no match for Southfarthing. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

7) What was the name of the lighthouse built by Tar-Aldarion?

Beren87 · 06-23-2003, 07:09 PM

Calmindon, which was upon Tol-Uinen.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-24-2003, 11:43 AM

You are correct, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

8) Who (other than pio [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) was called Dwimmerlaik?

Orofaniel · 06-24-2003, 12:35 PM

The witch king? I think Ewoyn called him that...

Beren87 · 06-24-2003, 12:41 PM

The lord of the Nazgul. Eowyn called him that.

Edit:Bah, too late.

[ June 24, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

9) What were the Cloven-peaks?

elven maiden Earwen · 07-01-2003, 10:56 AM

could it be Crissaegrim?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 07-01-2003, 12:47 PM

Taking a wild guess here: Caradhras, Barazinbar, and Bundashathur?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-01-2003, 07:18 PM

Well done, Earwen, the Crissaegrim are indeed the Cloven-Peaks. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

10) Who was the father of Gelmir and Gwindor?

alaklondewen · 07-01-2003, 09:03 PM

They were the sons of Guilin, who was "a very valiant prince".

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-02-2003, 02:45 AM

Correct as usual, alak. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Final scores:

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-02-2003, 04:12 AM

Mind if I join in?

1) Which two people betrayed Gondolin?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-02-2003, 04:29 AM

Sorry Gwaihir, you need to have given the most correct answers in the previous round to earn the honour of question master/mistress for the next round.

Alaklondewen answered 5 out of 10 correctly in the last round, so it is now her turn to ask the questions. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 07-02-2003, 07:53 AM

Thank you, Saucepan...*looks around at all the other quiz room players* Please, please, you may sit down...enough applause. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

1) What is the House of Ransom, who lived there, where was it located?

Mariska Greenleaf · 07-02-2003, 08:43 AM

it was the refuge of Turin, in West Beleriand.
It was the home of Mîm.

alaklondewen · 07-02-2003, 05:30 PM

You're right, Mariska, that it was the refuge of Turin, but I would like you to be a little more specific on the location and what it was called. Think about what Mîm called it.

elven maiden Earwen · 07-02-2003, 06:03 PM

Am I able to answer the question?

Amon Rudh meaning the Bald Hill. It was just south of the Forest of Brethil.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-03-2003, 12:29 AM

Sorry for putting my foot in it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Carry on.

alaklondewen · 07-03-2003, 08:18 AM

Right, Earwen, that's what I as looking for...also, Mîm called it Bar-en-Danwedh.

2) What are four names for the highest peak in the Pelòri range?

elven maiden Earwen - 1

Mariska Greenleaf · 07-03-2003, 09:03 AM

The mountains of Aman, the mountains of Valinor (in the north) and the mountains of Defence and the mountain Wall in the south.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-03-2003, 10:50 AM

Oiolosse, Taniquetil, Everwhite, The Holy Mountain, Amon Uilos, Elerrina.

Heh, four of those must be what you're looking for [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Sophia

alaklondewen · 07-05-2003, 08:26 AM

Thank you, Sophia, those will work nicely. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

3) At the Ford of Bruinen, how many of the Nazgul entered the water on their own, and how many did Glorfindel force into the water?
