First Age Trivia - Page 22 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

NightKnight · 03-03-2005, 10:07 AM

Returned, hmm? Finwë never left, so that rules him out.

Finarfin* (though he never really went back to ME, so I don't know if he counts)
Feanor*
Aredhel
Angrod/Aegnor
Fingolfin
Finrod
Fingon
Orodreth
Finduilas
Celegorm/Curufin/Caranthir
Maeglin
Turgon
Idril
Amrod/Amras
Eärendil
Maedhros
Maglor? (not certain that he ever went back)
Celebrimbor*
Gil-Galad*
Elrond/Galadriel*

* Not in the First Age (this is First Age Trivia, after all

)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-03-2005, 08:42 PM

I'm thinking Eärendil got there first before Idril, but all else looks correct.

You're up.

NightKnight · 03-04-2005, 11:01 AM

Possibly, but she left ME before him at least.

Anyway, ze question...

Who was Turin's grandfather's sister (two answers, I want both)?

Fingolfin II · 03-04-2005, 07:54 PM

Gloredhel (Galdor's sister) is the only one I know of. I don't think Baragund (Morwen's father) had a sister?

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-05-2005, 07:30 AM

Turin's great-aunt on his mother's side is Haleth; great-aunt on father's side is Gloredhel

NightKnight · 03-05-2005, 10:56 AM

You have Gloredhel right, but who's the other one?

Lindolirian · 04-03-2005, 09:14 AM

Bereth, sis of Baragund.

NightKnight · 04-04-2005, 07:43 AM

Yup. Fingolfin or Lindo gets it (you both got one right).

Lindolirian · 04-23-2005, 09:07 PM

What was the signal that was supposed to allow simultaneous attack at the beginning of the Nirnaeth?

NightKnight · 04-24-2005, 05:55 AM

A great fire in Dorthonion.

Lindolirian · 04-24-2005, 09:16 AM

That's was it!

NightKnight · 04-24-2005, 01:23 PM

Oh crap, now I have to think up a new question. I've gotta stop answering so many threads.

Why was the lighting of that fire delayed?

mormegil · 04-24-2005, 09:20 PM

It was delayed because of the councils of Uldor the accursed that Maedhros listened to.

NightKnight · 04-25-2005, 11:16 AM

Exactly. Uldor told Maedhros that an attack from Angband was coming, which held him back.

mormegil · 04-25-2005, 11:59 AM

Good...I hope this is a decent question (it being my first)

At what time of day did Khim die?

mormegil · 04-29-2005, 12:31 PM

Okay, in an attempt to not allow this thread to drift into oblivion I will give the answer and hope that somebody will post a question.

He died at sunset

NightKnight · 04-30-2005, 10:59 AM

When did Finrod Felagund die?

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 05-01-2005, 12:02 PM

While saving Beren from the Werewolf in Sauron's prisons. He fought the wolf with only his hands, and succeeded in killing it, though he himself was mortally wounded.

What was the demise of Fingon?

Gil-Galad · 05-01-2005, 02:04 PM

NightKnight is suppose to confirm your anwser...if it is correct then continue with your question

NightKnight · 05-02-2005, 04:39 AM

Actually, mormegil posted an answer that we are supposed to give the question to. That's what I did.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-02-2005, 10:28 AM

Actually, mormegil posted the answer to his previous question and invited anyone to continue with a new question. Which was what everyone assumed that you had done, Nightknight.

I suggest that the thread continues with Celebriel Esgaledhel's question, although Gil-Galad is correct. You should wait for confirmation of your answer before posting a new question.

So the question, posted by Celebriel Esgaledhel's, is:

What was the demise of Fingon?

Envinyatar · 05-02-2005, 11:46 AM

Slain by Gothmog during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 05-02-2005, 07:42 PM

Of course!

Your turn

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 05-02-2005, 07:58 PM

Hmmm....I've just read the last few posts. If one is sure that the answer to his or her question is correct, why not go ahead and post another question? It would save time.

Because those who are sure that their answer is correct are not always correct on either count.

The Quiz Room Rules are clear on the point. It has worked well to date and so remains the rule.

Envinyatar · 05-03-2005, 02:01 AM

So . . . shall I go ahead and pose a question?

NightKnight · 05-03-2005, 03:51 AM

Yes Envinyatar, please post a new one.

I apologize for misreading what mormegil wrote. My mistake.

Envinyatar · 05-03-2005, 11:26 AM

Who rewards men well for two “wolf-heads”?

mormegil · 05-03-2005, 11:42 AM

Larncach is the answer.

Envinyatar · 05-03-2005, 11:46 AM

Indeed!

Carry on . . .

mormegil · 05-03-2005, 11:53 AM

There is a "great mere" in Nevrast. What was its name? What does it mean?

Lindolirian · 05-03-2005, 02:45 PM

Linaewen which means lake of birds.

Firefoot · 05-03-2005, 02:46 PM

Linaewen, meaning "Lake of Birds."

Oh, shoot, beaten by a minute!

mormegil · 05-03-2005, 02:47 PM

Correct and you just beat out Firefoot by one minute.

Good job Firefoot too.

Lindolirian · 05-03-2005, 02:51 PM

Who was the mentor of the maker of Anduril?

Firefoot · 05-03-2005, 02:56 PM

Gamil Zirak.

Lindolirian · 05-03-2005, 03:03 PM

You got it!

Firefoot · 05-03-2005, 03:32 PM

List all the named people who, before the Fall of Gondolin, were permitted to leave after staying there.

mormegil · 05-03-2005, 04:02 PM

I might be a bit confused but if I understand what you mean I believe the answer is:
Aredhel
Huor
Húrin

but it could also be many nameless mariners and Adedhel companions but I think you just mean those three.

Lindolirian · 05-03-2005, 04:32 PM

Add Voronwe to that it would be complete. Maeglin also "got out" but wasn't "permitted", so I don't suppose he counts.
