9) Which members of Thorin's company were not Longbeards?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-28-2003, 06:39 PM

I believe Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. For Dwarves, that is... if you're being exceedingly exact, Bilbo and Gandalf weren't either [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Sophia

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-28-2003, 07:00 PM

Yes, it was the Dwarves that I was looking for, Sophia. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 5
Annunfuiniel: 1
elven maiden Earwen: 1
gilraën: 2

Well, it looks like you're up next, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But, before that, my final question ...

10) What was a sandastan?

gilraën · 05-29-2003, 12:39 AM

'Dirnaith'= wedge shaped battle formation used by the Dunedain, [(quenya) Sandastan 'shield-barrier'].

Congratulations Sophia [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-29-2003, 05:25 AM

That is correct, gilraën. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Final scores:

Sophia the Thunder Mistress: 5
Annunfuiniel: 1
elven maiden Earwen: 1
gilraën: 3

Take it away, Sophia ...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-29-2003, 07:03 PM

Yay! Thanks, Saucepan.

1) Of whom was it said:

Quote:

All flowers spring as she passes and open if she glances upon them; and all birds sing at her coming.

elven maiden Earwen · 05-29-2003, 07:47 PM

Melian or Luthien?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-29-2003, 09:26 PM

neither, Earwen [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Sophia

gilraën · 05-30-2003, 12:31 AM

It was Orome's better half, Yavanna's little sister - Vana.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-30-2003, 12:48 AM

It was indeed.

gilraen- 1

2) What grew on Cerin Amroth?

Mahal · 05-30-2003, 04:02 AM

A mallorn tree

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-30-2003, 05:38 PM

A comprehensive list please. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-30-2003, 06:10 PM

Quote:

To the left stood a great mound, covered with a sward of grass as green as Spring-time in the Eldar Days. Upon it, as a double crown, grew two circles of trees: the outer had bark of snowy white, and were leafless but beautiful in their shapely nakedness; the inner were mallorn-trees of great height, still arrayed in pale gold. High amid the branches of a towering tree that stood in the centre of all there gleamed a white flet. At the feet of of the trees, and all about the green hillsides the grass was studded with small golden flowers shaped like stars [elanor]. Among them, nodding on slender stalks, were other flowers, white and palest green [niphredil]: they glimmered as a mist amid the rich hue of the grass.

Is that comprehensive enough? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-30-2003, 08:56 PM

Perfect. I wanted both types of trees and both types of flowers. Grass was an extra [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Saucepan- 1

How old was Thorongil at the time of Gondor's defeat of the Corsairs?

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-30-2003, 09:11 PM

I'll guess at 49, on the basis that it was the last act of his "great journeys and errantries", which concluded in 2980.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-30-2003, 09:14 PM

Yes, your guess would be correct.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-01-2003, 06:39 PM
