humid mild winters, humid mild summers; cooler weather after Morgoth's power increased.

NightKnight · 10-09-2004, 02:11 PM

I know it's in Silm, but I haven't got it here... so Beleriand?

Tuor of Gondolin · 10-09-2004, 02:26 PM

Hithlum?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-13-2004, 06:25 PM

Geographically, Nevrast belongs to Hithlum, but its mild summers and winters belong more to Beleriand, so there!

Go!

NightKnight · 10-14-2004, 12:20 AM

Ha!

Which was the last noldorin stronghold in ME in the first age?

Nanedhel · 10-14-2004, 09:20 AM

Gondolin?

NightKnight · 10-17-2004, 08:53 AM

Yep.

Nanedhel · 10-17-2004, 09:24 AM

What place did the refugees of Gondolin go to and rest for a while after their escape from the ruin of the kingdom?

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-18-2004, 03:10 AM

Nan-thathren, the Land of Willows.

Nanedhel · 10-18-2004, 08:50 PM

You are right

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-19-2004, 07:09 PM

If I leave The Floating Log and travel in a straight line to Brandy Hall , what rivers would I have to cross?

Lindolirian · 10-19-2004, 07:13 PM

If you were to go along the roads, you would only cross the Brandywine, but since you insist on hiking it cross-country (must be avoiding someone

), then you'd have to cross the Stockbrook just a little beofe you reached the Brandywine.

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-19-2004, 07:37 PM

Yes, I wanted to break in my new hiking boots...now I have blisters.

You are entirely correct. Your go.

Lindolirian · 10-19-2004, 08:38 PM

Where is Brownhay?

NightKnight · 10-20-2004, 12:13 PM

Sounds like the Brown Lands, but that's probably wrong.

Lindolirian · 10-20-2004, 03:11 PM

You know me better than that

... I don't make 'em that easy!

Lindolirian · 10-26-2004, 06:37 AM

I don't make them that easy, but I also didn't mean to kill the thread.
HINT: It's an alternate name of something that you've heard of, but Brownhay was only used in HoME.

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-26-2004, 03:21 PM

ahaaaa...at last! [Puts away all Tolkien books and lets keyboard cool down from net search]

Rhosgobel.

Lindolirian · 10-26-2004, 07:29 PM

In Pio's words, Radagast would be proud!

luthien-elvenprincess · 10-27-2004, 03:49 AM

If I start out from the place that was 'three days from the Black Stone' and travel to some culumalda trees; then traveled to where Merry saw oak trees off to his right; then went to an 'elf-haven' and finally to see the Ethir Anduin.

What then, general geometric shape did I make in my traveling, and what places did I visit?

Nanedhel · 11-03-2004, 09:10 PM

The place that was 'three days from the Black Stone' - Linhir. The grey company arrived at Linhir on the third day after they set out from Erech with the company of oathbreakers.

Some culumalda trees - These trees grow near the Fields of Cormallen

Where Merry saw oak trees off to his right - Merry (and the Rohirrim) was oak trees on their right at Fenmarch

An 'elf-haven' - The elf haven of Edhellond, near Dol Amroth, is the most logical haven for this riddle

The Ethir Anduin - Pelargir

If I have the places right, the path looks like a slightly lopsided square, or a lower case 'e'

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-04-2004, 04:56 PM

Wow Nanedhel, a most excellent job!

I was trying to make a square.
Your turn.

Nanedhel · 11-04-2004, 06:29 PM

Where is Aglarond?

Lindolirian · 11-04-2004, 08:36 PM

The Glittering Caves are behind Helm's Deep in the White Mountains, southeast of Angrenost.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-15-2004, 11:37 PM

Nanedhel?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-18-2004, 09:48 PM

Master Quizzer Lindo, the thread is yours.

Lindolirian · 11-20-2004, 04:15 PM

Righty-ho then...
Which Tower of Teeth came from a spur of Ered Lithui and which came from Ephel Duath?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-21-2004, 07:53 PM

Carchost was a part of Ephel Duath and Narchost was part of Ered Lithui.

Lindolirian · 11-22-2004, 07:26 PM

Yup!

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-23-2004, 01:58 PM

About how many miles, from the West-door of Moria directly to the East-door?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-30-2004, 07:15 AM

hello.......anyone home?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-03-2004, 02:37 AM

About 50 miles?

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-03-2004, 06:12 PM

nope.

The answer is in the book, shortly after the gang enters Moria.

Gil-Galad · 12-03-2004, 06:16 PM

err....68? totally a guess

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-03-2004, 06:19 PM

totally a wrong guess

Gil-Galad · 12-03-2004, 06:21 PM

well is it higher or lower? heh were posting on 2 threads

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-03-2004, 06:33 PM

use the clue I gave! Lest we be reduced to mere guessing!!!

Lindolirian · 12-03-2004, 07:19 PM

It cannot be less than forty miles, but the road may wind much.

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-04-2004, 02:16 PM

yes!

luthien-elvenprincess · 01-19-2005, 05:42 PM

Bump... Lindo???
