Where was the home of Ratagast the Brown and what was it called?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-24-2005, 05:39 AM

Rhosgobel, in Rhovanion.

Iaurhirwen · 08-24-2005, 08:16 AM

yes. That was very easy, wasn't it? I must find better questions to ask. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-24-2005, 08:32 AM

No hard questions, please! I wouldn't want my head to explode!

Hmmm . . . where does Cirith Ninniach lead into (from Hithlum, that is.)

Alcarillo · 08-24-2005, 02:27 PM

From Hithlum it leads into Lammoth. Well, it's right in front of the Firth of Drengist. If you head right you go into Lammoth, left into Nevrast.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-24-2005, 08:55 PM

Tag. You're it.

Alcarillo · 08-24-2005, 09:04 PM

Where was The Floating Log?

Iaurhirwen · 08-24-2005, 11:34 PM

In Frogmorton, in the Shire's eastfarthing

Alcarillo · 08-24-2005, 11:35 PM

Iaur's got it.

Telchar · 09-08-2005, 02:50 AM

Bumb!

Iaurhirwen · 09-08-2005, 10:07 AM

OH! Right!!! I'm supposed to have posted a question. I'm so sorry everybody! The first week of college really got me wrapped up and I totally forgot about this thread. But, no worries, I'm back.

Now, to think of a question . . . If you were sailing north from the Bay of Balar to the Firth of Drengist, what rivers would you encounter entering into the sea?

The Perky Ent · 09-08-2005, 03:31 PM

Um...i'm probably wrong about this...

If you're going along the coast, its Sirion, Nenning, Britchcn, then the Firth. Unless you count the rivers you pass from the latitude...or if i jsut got it wrong

Iaurhirwen · 09-09-2005, 11:25 AM

Yes, you're right Perky! Come on Down, You're the next contestant on The Price is . . . .ahem, I mean Geography Grilling

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-15-2005, 07:07 PM

Perks? Forgot this one.

The Perky Ent · 09-15-2005, 07:15 PM

Don't be hasty! I've been researching. And i've found my answer!

what is the longest river in Eriador?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-15-2005, 07:37 PM

I would not have a future as a Seer.

Brandywine?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-15-2005, 07:46 PM

Greyflood River ? ? ?

But i am not sure, becourse later Greyflood becomes divided into loudwater and Hoarwel so ?

The Perky Ent · 09-15-2005, 07:49 PM

Well...I somehow lost (which I can't believe, because I treasure it over all of my resources) my Maps of Middle Earth book. However, a cursory glance would show that the Greyflood (not counting tributaries) and Brandywine seem pretty equal. However, since you're new, and I myself was thinking of the Greyflood, you get it Rune Son! Welcome to the Downs!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-15-2005, 07:55 PM

And let me join Perks in welcoming you, Rune Son of Bjarne!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-16-2005, 04:05 AM

Thanks for the welcoming

and for giving me a chance to post a question, amongst such great people (and ents)

At the mouth of wich river lay Eglarest ?

NightKnight · 09-16-2005, 10:53 AM

Nenning, wasn't it?

Oh, and welcome as well.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-16-2005, 02:09 PM

Thanks.

NightKnight · 09-17-2005, 03:34 PM

What was the old name of Anfauglith?

The Perky Ent · 09-17-2005, 03:55 PM

Ard-Galen?

NightKnight · 09-18-2005, 05:07 AM

Yip. Your turn.

The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 01:44 PM

Where did the wife of Turin die?

An easy one, as my computer is mucho slow!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 03:09 PM

Well she jumpet from Kabed-en-Aras (Kabed Naeramarth) down in the river Teiglin, so i guess she died in the Teiglin

The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 03:40 PM

Kabed-en-Aras indeed. Cabed Naeramarth after her death

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 04:15 PM

Witch small stream ran past the home of Húrin ?

Alcarillo · 09-22-2005, 07:29 PM

Nen Lalaith?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 07:36 PM

Alcarillo · 09-22-2005, 07:41 PM

On what mountain did Vinyamar sit?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 07:46 PM

Alcarillo · 09-22-2005, 07:59 PM

Mt. Taras is indeed correct.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 08:14 PM

Name the three great peaks of the Misty Mountains.

The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 08:27 PM

Time to get out my greatest resource (The atlas of Middle Earth Revised Edition )

Caredhras, Celebdil, and Methedras?

Alcarillo · 09-22-2005, 08:33 PM

Celebdil, Caradhras, and Fanuidhol.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-22-2005, 08:37 PM
