Character Trivia - Page 14 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Aganzir · 05-20-2007, 01:45 PM

Nár it was, yes.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-20-2007, 01:50 PM

Fine

So... here's another one, a little bit changed to make it more interesting:

Who was the only one at Minas Tirith who could see the night breeze?

The Might · 05-20-2007, 02:01 PM

The Rohirrim, as Ugluk says they can see the night-breeze.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-20-2007, 02:04 PM

Ha-hahahaaa, wrong.

Only to note: we are in Character Trivia, so it's only one individual.

And to clear it up a little bit more, I'm speaking of someone who was in Minas Tirith at the time of siege.

Finduilas · 05-20-2007, 04:30 PM

Could it be Denethor? I know there was some talk in Minis Tirith about his Palantir.

Or Shadowfax? Sometimes animals are said to be scared by things like that...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-21-2007, 03:21 AM

Finduilas is right! Here's the evidence:

Shadowfax was a horse of Rohan and was in Minas Tirith. TM, you were close, but Uglúk said this about the horses, and not men

Finduilas, please take the thread.

Finduilas · 05-21-2007, 01:01 PM

Thanks.

I couldn't think of a good question, so this will have to do...

What is the name of the Elf that met Frodo, Sam, and Pippin in the Shire?

Gildor Inglorian I believe

Elen sila lumenn omentielvo.
Darn, now I have to think of something...

Finduilas · 05-21-2007, 01:14 PM

Aye, aye captian.

Ok I got one, it's pretty easy though: In the last battle when the world is old, who will be at Tulkas's left hand...?

The Might · 05-21-2007, 01:29 PM

Turin Turambar

Hmm... okeeey another easy one: who called the Mereth Aderthad?

The Might · 05-21-2007, 02:43 PM

I believe it was Fingolfin that organized that.

What Rohirrim sensed a change in the air?

Finduilas · 05-28-2007, 08:42 AM

Widfara?

The Might · 05-29-2007, 05:01 AM

yes

Finduilas · 05-29-2007, 08:45 AM

Who professed to never wanting to eat an apple again, after a certain "adventure"?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-29-2007, 08:53 AM

Wasn't it Kili? (I'm not sure now if it wasn't Fili...)

Finduilas · 05-29-2007, 09:00 AM

Um... well amusingly, I don't have the book with me, and I'm not totally sure either

. Oh well, you can have it since you know.

Beleg Cuthalion · 05-29-2007, 09:20 AM

It was Fili (just so you know for sure).

Finduilas · 05-29-2007, 09:53 AM

lol. So sorry that I didn't know, but it seems as if two guesses are allowed, and Legate kind of guessed two, and therefore would have gotten it.

Thanks Beleg.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-29-2007, 02:19 PM

Well, I actually wasn't sure which one was it, but I knew it was one of them. But okay, let's have another.

Could you name some Middle-Earth's vegetarian? (Of course, the question is not based just on an assumption, but on real evidence from the books which explicitely states that someone was a vegetarian.)

Finduilas · 05-29-2007, 02:39 PM

Beorn. Unless vegetarians don't drink milk or eat honey...

The Might · 05-29-2007, 02:44 PM

Depends...Lacto-ovo vegetarianism means you also eat honey, milk and eggs, while veganism means none of them.
But I was thinking about Fangorn. I mean ent draughts are vegan, right?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-29-2007, 02:47 PM

You are both right, though Finduilas was first. Since I said "vegetarian" in general, it may include people who drink milk etc. Actually, my first thought when I formed this question was Beorn. So, Finduilas, take the thread.

Finduilas · 05-29-2007, 02:47 PM

TM can have it since I just did, and I don't have any riddles at present.

Your thread The Might.

The Might · 05-29-2007, 03:10 PM

Well...thanks.
Who had an accident while carrying a load of rocks?

Finduilas · 05-30-2007, 05:17 PM

A quick question, are these confined to any particular books, if so which? I have seen what appear to be Silm, Hobbit, and LotR.

The Might · 05-31-2007, 09:32 AM

Well, since it's character trivia, I guess you can take any book (except HoMe though)

Finduilas · 06-18-2007, 08:10 AM

Haha. It's been ten days, and I claim this thread!

Might, go 'head and give us another.

The Might · 06-18-2007, 02:00 PM

Nah, try answering this one...
A tip: it's linked to the White Mountains...this should make it easy

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-18-2007, 02:03 PM

Hey, I'm not sure now, but I remember something about a giant who had this accident and this way formed the Valley of Stone Wains... or how is it called in original... I don't know his name, though. Is it possible you mean him?

The Might · 06-18-2007, 02:11 PM

Yes, this is true, but I believe it is another valley.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-18-2007, 02:21 PM

But is it true? Funnily enough, this is the first time something like that happened to me, but I don't know where the information can be found

Not that I generally have to look it up, but normally I know where to find it to check... I guess the story comes from some improbable source, like HoME... which would mean that you contradict your own post above. *points up about four or five posts earlier*

The Might · 06-18-2007, 02:28 PM

Well, folk say many things.
