Odd PLACE Out - Page 18 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

symestreem · 07-29-2004, 08:48 PM

Hmm. Tirion is the only place where a younger brother did not reign.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-29-2004, 08:53 PM

Finarfin did rule in Tirion. And he's younger than Fëa or Fingolfin.

Nope. Try another hook.

Lhunardawen · 07-30-2004, 10:23 PM

Hmm...Emyn Arnen is the only place where the original ruler did not die???

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-30-2004, 10:48 PM

Look at the rulers closely.

If you need hints, well...

Ask for it.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-04-2004, 11:16 PM

First, I gave rulers.

Now, the clue is phoneme.

Please, please, please . . . solve this. I implore. I beg. I grovel. I'll even bribe.

Evisse the Blue · 08-05-2004, 02:49 AM

Hmm, that hint brings even more confusion to me...

Emyn Arnen the only one who had rulers who shared the same name, but different titles, as in: Hurin I, Hurin II?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-05-2004, 11:38 PM

The list of rulers of the respective places are quite short. Try listing them all. Then you'll see one place has a weedle problem.

Hope that helps!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-12-2004, 12:11 AM

My last clue is "F". Hope that helped.

Telchar · 09-19-2005, 10:22 AM

Is it as simple as: Nargothrond Because it was the only place that was ruled by someone whose name did not start with "F" (Orodreth)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-21-2005, 06:47 PM

Your reason was correct, but the answer was wrong.

Glirdan · 09-21-2005, 06:50 PM

Gondolin because Turgon was the only one who ruled in Gondolin and his name doesn't start with and "F".

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-21-2005, 07:26 PM

After a year and two months, you have finally got it, Glirdan!

That means you can think of a puzzle for us now.

Glirdan · 09-21-2005, 08:07 PM

WOW!! That long?? My, my!! And me the one to guess it!! As if!!! Here we go, my first time:

Misty Mountains
Osgilith
Mordor
Minas Morgul

Hint: Think of where all Hobbits have gone.

PS: This is probably really easy, but I can't think of anything else right now.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-21-2005, 08:14 PM

Is It the misty mountains

The only place they have all been ?

(I think)

Glirdan · 09-21-2005, 08:18 PM

You're right Rune!! You're thread!!!

*Mutters* I knew it was to easy.......

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 07:25 AM

Ok here goes:

Gondolin
Nargothrond
Menegroth
Elgarest

Hint: Think War of the Jewles

Just say if you want a new hint.

Telchar · 09-22-2005, 07:31 AM

Menegroth was not sacked by the forces of Morgoth, but by dwarves...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 02:39 PM

Yes thats the answer i was looking for.

your turn.

Telchar · 09-22-2005, 11:53 PM

Rauros
Hornburg
Edoras
Moria
Amon Sul

I think this one is rather difficult, so don't look for simple answers

The Perky Ent · 09-23-2005, 12:26 AM

Hornburg - The only place a hobbit was not present?

Telchar · 09-23-2005, 12:36 AM

All the hobbits went to Helms Deep on their way home, didn't they?

NightKnight · 09-23-2005, 10:42 AM

Moria: The only place where a Nazgul was not sighted?

Morsul the Dark · 09-23-2005, 10:54 AM

or amun sul because its the only place orcs werent

Telchar · 09-23-2005, 02:36 PM

Moria: The only place where a Nazgul was not sighted?
Well the same goes for Rauros, doesn't it? The Nazgul which steed Legolas shot, were encountered at the beginning of the Sarn Gebir some 30-40 miles north of Rauros.

or amon sul because its the only place orcs weren't
That goes for Edoras as well... Dunledings are not orcs.

HINT: Connect a single caracters actions at the sites (or very close by), and see where that brings you

Morsul the Dark · 09-24-2005, 09:24 AM

ok....aragorn is the only consistent charactor at all the places....sooo....um edoras is the only one aragorn didnt fight at?

Telchar · 09-24-2005, 02:09 PM

Very close! Aragorn is correct, but Im not concerned with fighting in this question...

Hiriel · 10-01-2005, 11:31 PM

Well, then, perhaps this. Rauros was the only place that Aragorn didn't stay at more any great period of time. They burried Boromir and started running. He stayed many days at Edoras, Moria, and the Hornburg, and spent the night at Amon Sul.

Telchar · 10-02-2005, 08:15 AM

A nice quess but no

Telchar · 10-07-2005, 03:21 PM

Correct answer: Aragorn Spoke verse, chanted or sang at all places save Moria.

Im going away for a week (to lovely Spain), and won't be back until next monday, so anybody can continue this thread

Glirdan · 10-07-2005, 03:25 PM

Okie dokie!!!

Mirkwood Forest
Fangorn Forest
Rivendell
Lothlorien

Hint: Once again think of Hobbits. This one might be easy alos, but I can't rack my brain for anything right now.

Hiriel · 10-13-2005, 12:38 PM

Fangorn, because that is the only forest that a Baggins did not enter.

Glirdan · 10-13-2005, 01:59 PM

Nope!!! Good reasoning behind that though. I would have given it to you because I forgot what the answer wasm but now I remember. Keep guessing!!

Hiriel · 10-13-2005, 04:27 PM

*sighs* Alright then. Mirkwood, because no halfing member of the Fellowship ever went there.

Glirdan · 10-13-2005, 07:00 PM

Again, good reasoning but not quite what I'm thinking of. Wow!! I didn't know it would be this hard!!!

NightKnight · 10-14-2005, 09:06 AM

I suppose it's not as easy as Rivendell, because it's not a forest?

Glirdan · 10-14-2005, 01:59 PM

Nope!! Wrong again. Keep guessing.

Hiriel · 10-14-2005, 04:35 PM

Herm...Mirkwood, because that was the only place a hobbit had to fight anything (spiders).

Glirdan · 10-14-2005, 08:35 PM

Still no.

Need a hint?

Telchar · 10-19-2005, 08:00 AM

No hobbit lost their way in Lorien

Glirdan · 10-19-2005, 03:16 PM

Right place, wrong reason. If you can guess that, I'll give it to you.
