The tributaries of what river flowed through Ossiriand, and how many are there? |

Gelion- 7 tributaries if you count Little Gelion, 6 if you don't.

What is the name of the elf alliance formed by Maedhros who resulted in the battle of Unnumbered Tears?
Tricky one. Calls for careful phrasing of the question! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Most of the Eldar of Beleriand, and the Edain, and Easterlings some of whom proved treacherous -- yes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And 'which' would have been more grammatically correct than 'who', but you can go (although I'll be keeping my eye on you...). [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Really? Not bad, then. (Talking over the Internet does, of course, have the capacity (even tendency sometimes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]) to allow for an amount of slackness in the linguistics that people may employ on its bandiwith...)
What is the collective term for those Elvish tribes other than the Vanyar, the Noldor or the Teleri (those that reached Aman)? |

Hmmm...Not to be picky, but that's a bit vague. The Umanyar are Eldar (they hearkened the summons) but Moriquendi (they tarried on the way, and never saw Aman), hence the name: those who did not see Aman.
But you were basically correct, so the floor is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You know, I was thinking - let's make this more interesting. So here is the new one:
Changed colour. I hope I'm not making new rules in the process - but the idea is: any question that will elicit this answer is good, even as long as it's not what I had in mind. Again, I hope I'm not tampering with the rules of this game. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sorry - for some reason I confused the Lake of Twilight with the Water of Awakening. Possibly because the elves awoke in twilight.
Can I try again? By which lake was the city of Annuminas built?

Annuminas was the first capitol of Arnor, Elendil built it on the shore of Nenuial.
