The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 09:04 PM

To the first age section!

Hope these are right: Mt. Rerir and Mt. Dolmed?

Alcarillo · 09-22-2005, 09:07 PM

Correct, Perky!

The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 09:09 PM

Elune be praised!

...whoops, wrong cult!

Where is Oatbarton, and which section of the place is it in?

Telchar · 09-23-2005, 05:10 AM

Oatbarton is on my maps a small village in the North Farthing, straight north of Hobbiton, half way to Lake Evendim

The Perky Ent · 09-23-2005, 07:46 AM

Correctamundo!

Telchar · 09-23-2005, 03:35 PM

I allow myself to make an "odd-out-question" - I promise that it is totally geografical, and has nothing to do with caracters, history or events.

Imladris
Ost-in-Edhil
West gate of Moria
Dol Guldur
Tharbad

@ #938: Brandywine is much longer than Greyflood. But the combined course of Greyflood and Hoarwell is the longest body of water in Eriador.

The Perky Ent · 09-23-2005, 04:23 PM

Tharbad, the only place not in Eriador?

Telchar · 09-23-2005, 04:55 PM

Are you serious?

The Perky Ent · 09-23-2005, 05:22 PM

...no. I mean to say Tharbad, the only place where a ring of power was not present

Telchar · 09-24-2005, 12:05 AM

NOPE... remember its strictly geografical. You can find the answer on a map

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-24-2005, 11:17 AM

Dol Guldur is the only place east of the Misty Mountains

Telchar · 09-24-2005, 02:06 PM

Not a bad guess Rune - but not what I had in mind.

Seriously - if you "LOOK" at a map you will find the answer

The Perky Ent · 09-24-2005, 02:12 PM

ooo I get it now! When I said Tharbad was the only place that wasn't in Eriador, I meant to say Dol Guldor!

Let me look at my map...and....

Dol Guldor - the only place not on a river?

Telchar · 09-28-2005, 03:00 AM

not on a river? true, but not what I had i mind...

As a further hint: Take a map -> put a piece of transparent paper on top -> Make a dot at each of the five locations - > put the map away - look at the dots

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-29-2005, 04:36 PM

Imladris

Is not on the same latitude as the others

Telchar · 09-30-2005, 02:05 AM

That is correct Rune

You can more or less draw a straight east/west line through the other 4, but Imladris sticks out - you're up.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-30-2005, 07:42 AM

Name the highest mountain in the world and the mountain chain it is part of.

The Perky Ent · 09-30-2005, 03:00 PM

The world, when? If you're counting Aman, I'd guess it's Taniquetil, among the mountain range known as the Pelori

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-30-2005, 03:29 PM

Aman was included.

Yes it is in the Pelori, and gues what it is Taniquetil (Oiolossë)

The Perky Ent · 09-30-2005, 04:01 PM

Tell me how many mountain rangers there are in Arda, and what their names were! Yes, I know I'm evil

Telchar · 10-01-2005, 12:19 AM

The only rangers I know of are the Dunedain, and they lived in Eriador where few mountains are...

The Perky Ent · 10-01-2005, 12:16 PM

Curse my typo!

Tell me how many mountain rangers there are in Arda, and what their names were!

To make it easy, I'm just gonna ask for the mountain ranges that existed in the Third Age

Telchar · 10-01-2005, 12:51 PM

Ered Luin
Ered Mithrim
Iron Hills
Hithaglir
Ered Nimrais
Ered Lithui
Ephel Duath
Mountains of Mirkwood

how small mountians are we counting in???

The Barrow Downs?

I started - others may finish

The Perky Ent · 10-01-2005, 01:02 PM

That was the general list. There's two that I can think of that you've left out. Well...one you've already named. Hmm...how do I put it. The two i'm thinking of are not in the lands you normally see on maps. Look twords the south, and twords the east, and you'll get the two mountain ranges you'll need before I can say you're correct. Good list though. Two more, and the thread is yours!

Telchar · 10-05-2005, 02:29 PM

Hmmmm.... I should try using a map another time

Third age, right?

Ered Luin
Ered Mithrim
Iron Hills
Hithaglir
Ered Nimrais
Ered Lithui
Ephel Duath
Mountains of Mirkwood

East: Orocarni The mountains of the East
Further East: Walls of the Sun
South: Grey Mountains
West: Pelori
Last: You could argue for Morgai too

The Perky Ent · 10-05-2005, 02:41 PM

Just looking for the Orocarni and Grey

Third Age

Your go!

Telchar · 10-07-2005, 03:17 PM

Im going away for a week (to lovely Spain), and won't be back until next monday, so anybody can continue this thread

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-19-2005, 06:58 PM

What separatet the lands of Forlindon and Harlindon ?

NightKnight · 11-20-2005, 01:13 PM

The gulf of Lhun, wasn't it?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-20-2005, 03:28 PM

oh yes it was.

I trust you will take good care of this thread when I now pass it on to you.

NightKnight · 11-21-2005, 11:03 AM

Oh, don't say that. I don't like making up questions, especially not for this thread. But I shall have a try anyway.

Name three rivers/streams in the Shire.

Dimturiel · 11-21-2005, 01:28 PM

Brandywine, Stockbrook and The Water.

NightKnight · 11-23-2005, 06:58 AM

Touché.

Dimturiel · 11-23-2005, 11:31 AM

Name the tributaries of the river Gelion in Ossiriand.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-23-2005, 12:26 PM

Adurant
Duilwen
Brithor
Legolin
Thalos
Askar

should I allso count Little Gelion and Greater Gelion as tributaries ?

anyway I think I got them all.

Dimturiel · 11-23-2005, 12:37 PM

You have done well, my friend.

. Do go on.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-23-2005, 04:14 PM

Thanks Dimturiel

Name the location of Amon Lanc

Firefoot · 11-23-2005, 05:19 PM

In Mirkwood, better known as Dol Guldur.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-23-2005, 05:42 PM

your right.

I do belive if I may get technical: It was in the southern part of Greenwood. When Sauron moved in and build it bacame Dol Guldur and the forest became Mirkwood.

= it was a joke

Firefoot · 11-23-2005, 06:32 PM

Well, la-di-da.

If I stood in Edoras facing the same direction in which the windows face in Bree and walked backwards about 250 miles before heading to the nearest city on a river. I continue upstream until I reach a bridge, where I turn left until I am in line (north-south wise) with the Dark Wood. From here I take a 150 mile trip to the northeast. Where do I finally arrive?
