Because they had killed hundreds of Goblins in their time?

Lindolirian · 08-23-2004, 08:49 PM

It's more of an answer about orcs rather than the swords.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-23-2004, 09:51 PM

Because some of the goblins were survivors from the said war - i.e., Gondolin against the goblins.

Something to do with them being corrupted Elves - thanks, HI, for the article!

Morsul the Dark · 08-23-2004, 10:01 PM

Because they had heard tales from their forefathers of the mithyness of the swords

Lindolirian · 08-26-2004, 07:13 AM

Nil- 2
Thorongil- 1
Firefoot- 1
Perky- 1

6. What ever became of old Ufthak?

NightKnight · 08-26-2004, 01:24 PM

He was hung in a corner by Shelob, and probably eaten later on.

Gil-Galad · 09-04-2004, 01:18 PM

Bumpity

Firefoot · 09-07-2004, 09:29 PM

Lindo is having difficulty finding time to get online right now. Anyone can take the thread, but I think it would be fair to let Nilpaurion have it since he was winning.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-10-2004, 12:01 AM

Is it really me?

NightKnight · 09-10-2004, 05:23 AM

Yeah, that would be you.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-10-2004, 10:45 PM

I'll have to make up a new set of questions. Can you wait for me 'til Monday morning, Eastern Daylight?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-12-2004, 11:27 PM

Our topic is . . .

Kings.

1. Who was the High-king of all Elves?

NightKnight · 09-12-2004, 11:51 PM

Ingwë of the Vanyar.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-13-2004, 12:16 AM

2. Who was acknowledged as the King of Beleriand before the return of the Noldor?

Evisse the Blue · 09-13-2004, 01:05 AM

Thingol.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-13-2004, 01:08 AM

Evissë - 1
NightKnight - 1

3. How many High-kings of Elves were there in Middle-earth?

Evisse the Blue · 09-13-2004, 01:31 AM

Five.

Fingolfin II · 09-13-2004, 01:44 AM

I'm going to say six, because Finwe was appointed King of the Noldor after he saw the Two Trees in Valinor, then he came back to Middle-Earth and brought his people to Valinor, so he was King in Middle-Earth for a very short while, I guess. I'm not too sure, but I'll give it a go and say six.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-15-2004, 12:36 AM

Fingolfin II, you're correct!

Fingolfin II - 1
Evissë - 1
NightKnight - 1

4. Who was the first king of the Kings of Men?

Firefoot · 09-15-2004, 04:49 AM

Hm, being that in the first age most of the men had leaders not kings I will guess Elros?

NightKnight · 09-15-2004, 04:56 AM

Just taking a wild shot: Elendil?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-17-2004, 02:13 AM

I'll go with Firefoot's answer, although it was stated in UT I 1 that Tuor looked like the father of the king of the Kings of Men, which was indeed his destiny. If we follow that line, then Eärendil must be the first king of the Kings of Men.
But he never became King of Númenor. So I'm confused.

5. Whose title did the first Númenórean king to use the Adûnaic tongue for his name claim?

Fingolfin II · 09-17-2004, 03:28 AM

It was Ar-Adunakhor, I believe, who took Manwe's title of 'Lord of the West'.

10. Who is the Elder King?

NightKnight · 09-27-2004, 01:05 PM

Manwë?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-27-2004, 08:19 PM

So that pathetic spell of question ends. Hopefull, NK would do better.
As I look back, there's no way he couldn't
Whatever. The thread is yours.

NightKnight · 09-29-2004, 11:51 PM

It wasn't that bad at all.

Ok, a topic... Noldor!

1. Who was the first king of the Noldor?

Fingolfin II · 09-29-2004, 11:52 PM

Finwe!

NightKnight · 09-29-2004, 11:55 PM

Yup!

Aule, I believe

.

NightKnight · 09-30-2004, 12:33 AM

Indeed.
