Valar Trivia - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elenhin · 09-23-2001, 07:13 AM

Manwe made the final decision, with authority given to him by Iluvatar.

He decided that none of the Eldar may have two living spouses. Finwe was allowed to remarry only if Miriel wished to stay in Mandos until the end of Arda.

obloquy · 09-23-2001, 02:36 PM

Hrm...My understanding is that it was Mandos' decision that stood.

Go ahead, Elenhin. You were close since Manwe was the one who declared Mandos the judge of the matter. And I gave it away already. :P

Elenhin · 09-25-2001, 09:28 AM

Well, I answered without checking the books, so I guess your answer is more correct than mine [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

But, if you say I got close enough:
Of what deed of the Valar did Tolkien say that 'it came near to countering Morgoth in his own way', and that it had a 'selfish or neglectful' motive?

Telchar · 09-25-2001, 10:25 AM

That they called the Elves to Valinor??? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Elenhin · 09-26-2001, 07:58 AM

Nope - evil may have come because of the invitation, but its motive wasn't selfish or neglectful.

Try again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-15-2001, 03:29 AM

The hiding of Valinor??? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elenhin · 10-15-2001, 09:03 AM

Well, since it's been so long and your answer was almost the one I was looking for, you can have the next question.

What I originally meant was the lifting of the Pelori mountain chain. It was made to counter Morgoth's possessiveness with rival possessiveness and thus it was somewhat selfish (even though the exact nature of the possessiveness was different). The Valar also let Morgoth roam free in Middle-Earth in that time, so the deed can be called neglectful as well.

Telchar · 10-16-2001, 01:26 AM

Vala and plural Valar is quenya, but what is the Sindarin equivelant?

Elrian · 10-16-2001, 07:07 PM

Belain, singular Balan? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-17-2001, 01:21 AM

Why the sad face??? You are very much correct! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elrian · 10-17-2001, 07:17 PM

I wasn't sure I was right when I posted it. I'll put on a new face. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-19-2001, 07:51 AM

Wanna ask a new question Elrain ?? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Elrian · 10-22-2001, 01:26 AM

It's the only one I can think of at the moment, so here goes:
Which of the Valar was best know for singing? [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-23-2001, 01:24 AM

Would that be Este???

Elrian · 10-24-2001, 04:13 PM

No, not Este. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar · 10-26-2001, 11:20 AM

Manwë ?

Eldar14 · 10-26-2001, 01:26 PM

I would say Melian, but she's a Maia.

Elrian · 10-26-2001, 08:41 PM

No, it wasn't Manwe or Melian. Good choices though.

Elenhin · 10-27-2001, 05:48 AM

Yavanna? (She made the Two Trees by singing, after all...)

Turambar · 10-27-2001, 07:07 AM

Didn't Tulkas do a good version of ""Hound Dog"? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Elrian · 10-27-2001, 09:22 PM

It was Yavannah.

That's the one he sang to Melkor while he was chained!!!!!

Elrian · 10-28-2001, 09:12 PM

Your turn Elenhin! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elenhin · 10-29-2001, 10:17 AM

What was the name of the steed of Orome?

Telchar · 10-29-2001, 10:21 AM

Nahar

Turambar · 10-29-2001, 03:14 PM

Btw, you're up in "Awakened Analogies", Telchar.

Telchar · 10-30-2001, 02:59 AM

Melkor and Manwe were brothers in the thought of Iluvatar, but who were the sister of the Feanturi?

Elenhin · 10-30-2001, 09:06 AM

Nienna.

Telchar · 10-31-2001, 02:22 AM

Correct - Go on Elenhin

Elenhin · 10-31-2001, 07:52 AM

Of whose folk was Tilion, steersman of the Moon?

Gwaihir the Windlord · 10-31-2001, 10:30 PM

Orome. the huntsman.

Elenhin · 11-01-2001, 01:38 PM

Yep, go on Gwaihir [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-01-2001, 10:36 PM

Which wind was not asked for tidings in Gondor?

Telchar · 11-02-2001, 05:27 AM

Hi GtW - A: it was the eastwind and B: you're off the topic [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] If Im right - you ask a new Valaquestion OK? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-06-2001, 10:28 PM

Ah. Sorry. Not quite up to date with the new format of the quiz room; first time I've posted here in half a year, after all.

Which Vala befriended the Noldor most intimately?

[ November 06, 2001: Message edited by: Gwaihir the Windlord ]

Telchar · 11-07-2001, 02:45 AM

Aulë

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-07-2001, 10:33 PM

Go ahead.

Telchar · 11-08-2001, 02:17 AM

hmmm... Nienna is the sister of Irmo and Namo in the mind of Iluvatar. In earlier myth Nienna also had two brothers, but it was not the feanturi - who was it?

Elenhin · 11-08-2001, 05:29 PM

Manwe and Melko(r), if I recall correctly.
