Elrond of Rivendell · 12-29-2003, 04:38 PM

Elwing

Fire-Galad · 12-29-2003, 04:46 PM

is it too late to jion in?

Gil-Galad · 12-29-2003, 06:19 PM

you can join,... my guess would be Aredhel, daughter of Fingolfin, since Fingolfin lived in Hithlum, which was to the north... and Fingolfin granted land to teh edain in Dor Lomin

Finwe · 12-30-2003, 03:59 PM

My guess would be Luthien, daughter of Thingol, who was the first High King of the Sindar, rather crazy to boot, and "renovated" a cave to make Menegroth.

Arestevana · 01-01-2004, 11:08 AM

Telchar-2
Elrond of Rivendell- 1

For those who don't understand:
the first letter of the words 'Old Igloo Renovation Director', moved around, spell Dior, whose daughter was Elwing.

Question 4:
A gift of light
From the lady bright
The morning that passes away.
To break will of night
watching straight, left, right;
That evil the bearer might stay.

Finwe · 01-01-2004, 12:58 PM

The Phial of Earendil?

Arestevana · 01-01-2004, 05:55 PM

Telchar-2
Elrond of Rivendell- 1
Finwe- 1

Last Question; only those with points may answer.

Question 5: Who traveled with Daeron to the Mereth Aderthad, and by whom was this person killed?

Finwe · 01-02-2004, 12:13 PM

Mablung of the Heavy Hand, and he was slain by the Dwarves in the assault on Menegroth.

Arestevana · 01-02-2004, 05:03 PM

Correct, Finwe. Now, can you tell me the common theme?

Finwe · 01-03-2004, 10:37 PM

They or their makers were in Doriath at some point or the other.

Elwing lived in Doriath for a time.
Galadriel, the maker of the Phial of Earendil, stayed with Melian, in Doriath, for a while.
Mablung was from Doriath, and was a marchwarden.

Arestevana · 01-05-2004, 02:47 PM

Please continue, Finwe. While not the answer I had in mind, yours is certaintly correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finwe · 01-05-2004, 02:54 PM

All right. Here goes:

I'm going to have 5 questions. Here is the first one:

1) Elves were generally a happy race, although there were plenty who had slightly suicidal tendencies. Give me the name of the Elf who laughed, who was sibling to the Elf who challenged, and died.

Firefoot · 01-05-2004, 07:37 PM

Lalaith who was the sibling of Turin who challenged either Glaurung the dragon or his sword Gurthang.

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 8:43 PM January 05, 2004: Message edited by: Firefoot ]

Oh wait, nevermind. I'm getting confused again - Lalaith and Turin aren't Elves they're men. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I knew I was doing too well at remembering names to be true! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 7:35 AM January 06, 2004: Message edited by: Firefoot ]

Gil-Galad · 01-06-2004, 07:57 AM

Gwindor and Gelmir? maybe?

Gwaihir the Windlord · 01-07-2004, 02:18 AM

Fingolfin and Feanor...?

Finwe · 01-07-2004, 06:38 PM

Oh you're quite close with that last one, you definitely have one of the siblings right.

Firefoot · 01-07-2004, 06:46 PM

Finarfin and Fingolfin?

Finwe · 01-07-2004, 06:51 PM

Nope. I'll give you a hint: One of the siblings in question is female.

NightKnight · 01-08-2004, 01:18 PM

Hmm, neither Fingolfin nor Feanor had a sister...

Gil-Galad · 01-08-2004, 04:35 PM

Finrod and galadriel?

Finwe · 01-08-2004, 06:31 PM

Ah, NightKnight, they didn't in The Silmarillion...

HINT: Look in The Shibboleth of Fëanor.

NightKnight · 01-09-2004, 09:08 AM

And what is that?

Finwe · 01-09-2004, 06:18 PM

Ok... it is one of the lesser known works of Tolkien. I believe it is found in the book, Peoples of Middle-earth (part of the HoME series). If you don't have it, or don't have access to it, try doing a Google search. Those always work. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

NightKnight · 01-10-2004, 04:52 AM

That might explain why I haven't heard of it. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Firefoot · 01-11-2004, 08:21 PM

After an extensive Google search, I think I have it. Is it Lalwende, sister of Fingolfin?

Finwe · 01-12-2004, 07:11 PM

Yes indeed it is.

Firefoot -- 1

2.) The Elf who challenged had a rather disputed youngest, who was noble to be sure. Name that youngest.

Gil-Galad · 01-13-2004, 04:24 PM

Fingon?

Finwe · 01-13-2004, 07:47 PM

Nope. You got the oldest. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thorongil · 01-14-2004, 06:44 AM

Turgon?

Finwe · 01-14-2004, 06:27 PM

Nope.

HINT: He's really disputed. So disputed in fact, that not many people even know that he exists, or that he's the youngest son.

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-14-2004, 06:45 PM

As Firefoot, I also needed an extensive Google search to come across Argon. May it be him that you are looking for? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Greetings,
EfR

Finwe · 01-14-2004, 10:07 PM

Right you are!

Firefoot -- 1
Elrond of Rivendell -- 1

3) There is one, descended from the father of the one who challenged, who keeps changing from the grandson of the challenger to the grandnephew or great-grandnephew of the challenger. Name this star of Elvendom.

(rather easy one there)

Thorongil · 01-15-2004, 01:38 AM

Since you said star, could it be Earendil?

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-15-2004, 07:56 AM

Or Gil-Galad, perhaps? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finwe · 01-15-2004, 08:55 AM

As usual, Saucy is right!

Firefoot -- 1
Elrond of Rivendell -- 1
Saucepan Man -- 1

4) Brother of the challenger, sun-like not-oldest, father of heroes, my daughter married and her line united with Hope's line.

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-15-2004, 10:15 AM

Finarfin, father of Finrod and Galadriel?

Finwe · 01-15-2004, 06:22 PM

Right-o!

Firefoot -- 1
Elrond of Rivendell -- 2
Saucepan Man -- 1

Ok. Last question here, and only those with points can answer.

5) Part fire I am, mauled I have been, set free I have been, burned I have been. Which illustrious warrior am I?

Gil-Galad · 01-16-2004, 08:27 AM

well i have a guess at the awnser, but i can't anwser

Finwe · 02-04-2004, 10:58 PM

*bump* Come on! I'm sure that one of you guys knows the answer. Saucy, what happened to that devilishly sharp wit?

Firefoot · 02-18-2004, 09:00 PM

Could it be Sauron? I dunno, it's the only thing that comes to mind, but I'm not sure where burned fits in. Do you have a hint or something?
