Ya should. Maybe ya would'nt get so many girls mad at ya man. Any way, you're right. Ask away. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Dior · 04-06-2002, 05:35 PM

Um, ok, hmmm. What were all the titles of the Kings of Rohan?

Dior · 04-06-2002, 09:06 PM

Uh, hottie, sure. I suppose it's nice being called that. Anyway...what was the hill called that Mim the petty dwarf led Turin and his band to?

Nefwathiel Teleri · 04-06-2002, 09:11 PM

Dior · 04-06-2002, 10:50 PM

Yeah, go ahead.

Turambar · 04-29-2002, 02:13 PM

Nefwathiel?

Dior · 04-29-2002, 03:58 PM

Where has she been? It's been awhile. Someone else ask.

Arwen Imladris · 04-30-2002, 02:10 PM

O.K. I will ask.

What is written on the Ring in the black Speech?

This will be easy if you have the book, but does anyone know off the top of their head?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 04-30-2002, 04:09 PM

It says:
Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul,
Ash nazg thrakatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 04-30-2002, 04:38 PM

I'm a very impatient person, so assuming if my answer is correct, I'm gonna ask a question now, but if I'm wrong and it's someone else's turn to ask, then just ignore me and sorry [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
ok, in the changing of the Arda, when Beleriand sunk and everything, there was said that only one island rose above the sea. And I'm talking about Beleriand, not Numenor.

Dior · 04-30-2002, 05:34 PM

Technically that would be Tol-Morwen, but Himring also stayed above the waves.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 04-30-2002, 06:26 PM

Yeah, very true. Wow, that was the first person who ever looked at one of my posts. I feel like no one looks at what I write.

Dior · 04-30-2002, 06:43 PM

I think you have to be at least a wight for anyone to listen to you, although you seem like a smart person.

Ok, list these mountain ranges in chronological order from which was made first.

The Iron Mountains
The Grey Mountains
The Mountains of the World
The Misty Mountains

Lómelindi · 04-30-2002, 08:07 PM

I think it goes in this order, but forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm not that great on the geography of Middle-earth.

~ The Misty Mountains
~ The Iron Mountains
~ The Grey Mountains
~ The Mountains of the World

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 04-30-2002, 09:43 PM

I think it gose like this

~Mountains of the World
~Grey Mountains
~Misty Mountains
~Iron Mountains

(I'm probably wrong)

Dior · 05-01-2002, 08:44 AM

nope, neither of yours.

Arwen Imladris · 05-01-2002, 02:19 PM

Yes Lothiriel Silmarien, you were right.

Lets see, there can only be so many combinations. I'll try one.

The Iron Mountains
The Grey Mountains
The Misty Mountains
The Mountains of the World

Dior · 05-01-2002, 08:50 PM

Sorry, no.

Lómelindi · 05-01-2002, 09:00 PM

It's process of elimination time…perhaps I should provide explanations for my choices?

~ Mountains of the World
~ Iron Mountains
~ Misty Mountains
~ Grey Mountains

(I'm just trying to get up on Tolkien 101. And you're getting a butt-kicking in zero or fourth period, whichever is the next time I see you, Dior.) [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 05-01-2002, 09:58 PM

I figured out how many combinations there can be. There are only 24. 4! That would be 1x2x3x4. ( I'm only in sixth grade and I know how to do that [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

Dior · 05-02-2002, 08:43 AM

Anyone?

Dior · 05-02-2002, 02:39 PM

No, wait, Lómelindi was right. sorry.

Lómelindi · 05-02-2002, 10:33 PM

Thank you, Dior. That means I have to come up with a question now, hrm…
All right, here you go.

Who were Rochallor and Felaróf, and in what famous events did they participate (respectively)?

Lindolirian · 05-03-2002, 07:21 PM

Rochallar was the horse of Fingolfin and he was ridden by Fingolfin to Thangorodrim. Felarof was the horse of Eorl and was ridden by him in the Battle of the Fields of Celebrant.

Lómelindi · 05-03-2002, 09:27 PM

You got it! You have pleased the horse-enthusaistic hobbit greatly.

Impressive, too, since Felaróf isn't even mentioned in the Silmarillion index.

You're up, Agent Elrond. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 05-06-2002, 04:23 PM

What year and age did Fornost fall?

Lómelindi · 05-06-2002, 07:58 PM

Fornost, capital of the Dúnedain, fell in the year 1974 in the Third Age, when the Witch-king's armies of Angmar captured it in the aptly-named Battle of Fornost.

Lindolirian · 05-07-2002, 02:20 PM

Correctamundo! Your go.

Lómelindi · 05-07-2002, 06:01 PM

What is the name of the legend of Túrin and his sister Nienor?

Lindolirian · 05-07-2002, 06:33 PM

The Narn i Hin Hurin which mean the Tale of the Children of Hurin.

Lómelindi · 05-07-2002, 06:57 PM

Hrm, perhaps I should be nitpicky and say "You forgot the accents," but I won't.
Last time I try to ask a trivia question after two hours of cramming for a history (of the real world) test…

In other words, affirmative. Your roll.

Lindolirian · 05-08-2002, 02:24 PM

Hey i dont' know all the alt commands for accents! o well....

How long is a ranga?

Mat_Heathertoes · 05-08-2002, 05:40 PM

38" - Two inches longer than our yard, owing to their longshanks.

Lindolirian · 05-12-2002, 06:33 PM

Right again!

Arwen Imladris · 05-20-2002, 11:56 AM

Mat-Heathertoes??

Joy · 05-20-2002, 01:50 PM

It has been more than seven days, so I will ask a question.

There were two people by the name of Boromir, who beside Boromir, the son of Denthor, carries this name?

Dior · 05-20-2002, 06:27 PM

Borimir, son of Denethor I, who drove the first Uruk-Hai out of Ithilien.

Arwen Imladris · 05-28-2002, 11:53 AM

O.K. no one has posted in a while so

Who did Cirdan give his ring to?

Bonus points if you can say why!

Joy · 05-28-2002, 12:19 PM

Okay Dior, I guess you are part right. There were two in the line of the Stewards of Gondor. But I was looking for Boromir of Ladros. Descendant of Bëor and leader of the House of Bëor, who became the lord of Ladros in Dorthonion.

Joy · 05-28-2002, 12:27 PM

Cirdan gave his ring, Narya - the Ring of Fire to Gandalf.
"He saw futher and deeoer than any other in Middle Earth, and he welcomed Mithrandir at the Grey Havens, knowing whence he came and whither he would return.
'Take this ring, Master,' he said, 'for your labours will be heavy; but it will support you in the weariness that you have taken upon yourself. FOr this is the Ring of Fire, and with it you may rekindle hearts in a world that grows chill. But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails. I will await you."

Taken from Appendix B - Third Age.
