Who created the weapon which would eventually end the life of Morgoth?
(Hint: Said weapon is wielded by Gorthol)

Since this is 'bad guy trivia', Eol is the one I had in mind.

So, my turn?
Treating the cursed sword itself as a "bad guy": The answer I gave above is wrong. Why? hS |

Now that's a difficult one. It is known that Gurthang is the sword to kill Morgoth (according to prophecy of Mandos), and it is known that Eol is the original owner, and it's known that Turin is its wielder and that he'd do the deed. Based on these facts, I see no reason why you would think the answer you gave is wrong....

Unless you mean that Turin won't be the one who kill Morgoth, everything I've said is true.
Maybe it has something to do with the disloyalty of sword itself?

Do you mean to say that Eol is not the original maker?

Eol is the original maker of Anglachel, certainly, which was reforged in Nargothrond into Gurthang. So in a sense, the smiths of Nargothrond are the makers of Gurthang.
But I said that in my answer. So why was I wrong? hS |

I don't know. You said that each of the three main points are true, yet that the statement consisting of those three points is false. And considering you said all three points are true, your answer can't be false.
Unless there is some obscure variable I'm missing.....

Wait.....since Anglachel was reforged into Gurthang, and Gurthang is the weapon that will slay Morgoth, that means that Eol didn't make the weapon which will kill Morgoth. Because since Anglachel was reforged, Anglachel and Gurthang are now different swords.
(That was a bit wordy, but you get the point...)

Oh, you meant that? Well, technically it is still true. ![]() After all, if Turin could come back to finish the job, then so could Gurthang.

All right. It was broken after it took Turin's life. Is that what you were going for?
Either way, the answer remains true. Turin will slay Morgoth with Gurthang, which was made by Eol. And that is the way of it.

Quibbly, I know, but I don't think it unreasonable to call Narsil and Anduril different swords, the latter being 'created' in Rivendell. (My guess is that Aule will probably attend to the reforging of Gurthang personally; perhaps he can do something about that curse of Eol's while he's at it. Though they might always give Feanor the job...) hS |

I hope so, that way my statement that it was made by a bad guy will remain true.

A name shared by two villains. To follow that up, what name is shared by two villainous objects?

How about- a name shared by a villainous object and a non-villainous location?

There's Orthanc-stone and Orthanc-rock, but I wouldn't call the place entirely innocent. And they are not identical anyways.

Well that's a shame, cause all of my ideas seem to lead back to the various names of Saruman's abode (mostly iron- and fang- related stuff). Hint please?

Hmmn. Hints... let's see...
1. [---] is the actual name of the place, but only one of many given the object. 2. Both place and object are very important to the history of Arda, but the object is much better known in the real world.

The One Ring, and the Ring of Doom in Valinor?
Edit: the former was even called the "Ring of Doom" by the minstrel at the Field of Cormallen)
