Ok for the 10 days rule.

The answer is correct.

Thinlómien · 02-14-2006, 08:28 AM

What linguistic change partly affected the history of noldor?

Elu Ancalime · 02-14-2006, 07:38 PM

Thingol said for no Sinda to use Quenya tounge....so that didnt start things out all warm and fuzzy...and the Sons of Feanor eventually sacked Menengroth....I guess....

I wasn't thinking about that.

Try again.

Hint: early history of noldor...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-14-2006, 04:22 PM

Are you thinking about the lies that Melkor spread amongst the Noldor and let to the rivalry of Feanor and Fingolfin ? Before that the Noldor had not spoken lies (if I remember correct), with a bit of good will you could call it a linguistic change.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-31-2008, 04:14 PM

Hey Lommy you never answered my question. . .

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-31-2008, 04:31 PM

I believe she referred to the movement when Noldor separated from Vanyar... the so-called "Shibboleth of Fëanor".

Thinlómien · 02-01-2008, 03:05 AM

Rune - so sorry.

But I wasn't thinking about that.
Legate - heh, hmmm...., I'm not actually sure if you're right because honestly, I can't remember what the answer was

, only what it was related to. But if you can wait for several hours, I'll check it late this evening when I come home...

Thinlómien · 02-01-2008, 03:34 PM

Yes, you were right, Legate. Please take the thread.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-02-2008, 08:13 AM

Yay, great. Now I have to check what this thread is even supposed to be about...
(...)
(returns)
So Elves, hmm? (Who would have expected that

)

What was the original function of talan?

Nerwen · 02-15-2008, 05:59 AM

Telain (plural!

) were originally refuges and outlook posts.

...What are the rules? Is it just anything about Elves?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-15-2008, 06:59 AM

Anything about Elves, I guess.

And btw, I was speaking in singular, as in "how does a guitar work".

Nerwen · 02-15-2008, 07:54 AM

Then I believe you should have said "a talan".

(We're such a mature lot around here, aren't we?)

Who was Thingol's chief captain?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-15-2008, 08:16 AM

Mablung?

Nerwen · 02-15-2008, 08:56 AM

Yes.

Your turn.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-15-2008, 11:17 AM

Okay... hm.

Which Elven King liked jewels the most of all?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-15-2008, 09:00 PM

This is just a shot in the dark. . . Elu Thingol?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-16-2008, 02:42 AM

No, not exactly.

Nerwen · 02-16-2008, 05:41 AM

Thranduil?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-16-2008, 05:53 AM

Yes, that's him. Your turn.

Nerwen · 02-16-2008, 06:06 AM

Of what substance was the Third Gate of Gondolin made?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-16-2008, 06:17 AM

Was it bronze?

Nerwen · 02-16-2008, 06:33 AM

It was indeed.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-16-2008, 06:55 AM

All right, when you are so clever - who entered Gondolin on a grey horse?

Nerwen · 02-16-2008, 07:35 AM

Was it Tuor? I don't remember it saying what colour his horse was.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-16-2008, 07:44 AM

Yes, it was him. The Elves gave him a horse, of course, he did not arrive on it.

Your turn.

Nerwen · 02-16-2008, 07:49 AM

But how do you know it was a grey horse? They had white ones too– I just looked it up. (Unless you're going with the horse-breeders thing of calling white horses "greys".)

Anyway.

The pillars of Menegroth were made in the shape of what kind of tree?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-16-2008, 08:01 AM

Hmm... beeches?

And it's specifically written there that they brought out a grey one for Tuor.

Nerwen · 02-16-2008, 08:08 AM

Aha! I just found the bit you mean.

And yes, they were beeches.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-16-2008, 08:18 AM

Great, now I have to make a new one

Okay, at the risk of looking too self-centered: What and when was the reason for the Elves to abandon Amon Lanc?

Nerwen · 02-16-2008, 09:10 AM

Second Age. Oropher didn't like the neighbours... and he wasn't keen on the rising power of Sauron... and there was this one really smug Elf called Legate who got on his nerves.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-18-2008, 09:15 AM

Of course, you are right... at least in the first two, that is. Please continue.

Nerwen · 02-19-2008, 05:11 AM

How many High Kings of the Noldor had initials other than F?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-19-2008, 05:59 AM

That's a very interesting question. I'll try... two?

Nerwen · 02-19-2008, 06:07 AM

Yes.

Your turn.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-19-2008, 06:29 AM

Oh, good, I wasn't that sure if I didn't miss some secret branch in there

Okay... hmm... what about this. Kind of a speciality. We all know Eöl was called "the Dark Elf". However, once, a certain Elf named someone else as "Dark Elf", although he was also called "Dark" himself. Who were these two - the one who spoke and the one who this Elf spoke about?

Nerwen · 02-19-2008, 07:18 AM

Caranthir, referring to Thingol.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-19-2008, 07:20 AM

Of course! Well done. You may post a new one.
