Peregrin Took?

Fingolfin II · 10-28-2004, 04:59 AM

That is correct- alas too little, too late. The winner of this topic is Firefoot; take it away!

Firefoot · 10-28-2004, 05:28 AM

Paladin?

Fingolfin II · 10-28-2004, 09:04 PM

Uh, NightKnight got it right as I said above. But it's your turn anyway, Firefoot, because you got the most right

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-08-2004, 06:36 PM

From all the waterways and bodies of water in Middle-earth:

Quote:

For all seas, lakes, rivers, fountains and springs are in his government; so that the Elves say that the spirit of Ulmo runs in all the veins of the world. Thus news comes to Ulmo, even in the deeps, of all the needs and grief of Arda, which otherwise would be hidden from Manwe.

NightKnight and Lindolirian are tied, so here's a tie breaker question just for them:

*How many times in LotR are songs sang to Elbereth?*

NightKnight · 11-15-2004, 01:30 PM

Oi...

The only ones I can remember are the one in Rivendell, and didn't Sam sing one in Cirith Ungol? So I say 2...

Firefoot · 11-15-2004, 01:41 PM

More than that.

Lindolirian · 11-15-2004, 05:05 PM

Thrice in FotR if you count Galadriel's song to Varda
Once (?) in TT when Sam's tongue was loosed
Once in RotK when the Ringbearers meet up with the Elves heading for the Grey Haven

Making for a grand total of five?

Firefoot · 11-15-2004, 05:38 PM

Lindo, I yield the thread to thee.

Lindolirian · 11-18-2004, 10:18 AM

Thank you so much, O Man of the Flaming Feet!

3. What creature was responsible for the first light after the death of the Two Trees?

Firefoot · 11-19-2004, 07:54 PM
