Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-10-2002, 01:00 PM

Was it those to M people? Makar and the other one?

- Cirdan / Maglor68

Telchar · 01-11-2002, 03:45 AM

Elenhin gets it - Nienna was indeed the sister of Manwe and Melko in earlier myth. go on please. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elenhin · 01-11-2002, 10:44 AM

Name the two Valar who have talked with Men.

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-11-2002, 11:49 AM

Good Question.

Assuming Tuor, Beren or Earendil's mariners don't count, I would have to say

Melkor & Ulmo

- Cirdan / Maglor68

P.S. - Perhaps Mandos also spoke with Beren?

Elrian · 01-11-2002, 01:01 PM

Mandos and Ulmo?

Elenhin · 01-12-2002, 07:20 AM

Ah - I should have remembered to exclude those rare Men who had been to Valinor themselves.

Cirdan is right - Melkor spoke with Hurin (and probably others) and Ulmo spoke with Tuor.

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-13-2002, 02:01 PM

Which two Valar have the most Maiar identified with them, and what are their names? (Hint - they had three 'known' Maia apiece)

For example, Nienna had one identified Maiar - Olorin.

- Cirdan / Maglor

Elrian · 01-13-2002, 02:55 PM

Ulmo and Aule.

Telchar · 01-14-2002, 03:01 AM

Ulmo: Salmar, Ossë and Unien
Orome: Tilion, Alatar and Pallando

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-14-2002, 11:06 AM

Right on, Telchar. Go.

- Cirdan / Maglor68

Telchar · 01-15-2002, 02:30 AM

Name - AND PLEASE DONT LOOK IN THE BOOKS - 10 Maiar spirits THAT ARE NOT COUNTED AMONG THE ISTARI - it is not as hard as you think when you first get going [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Uinen
Osse
Salmar
Tilion
Eonwe
Ilmare
Arien

Telchar · 01-17-2002, 02:36 AM

Cirdan gets it - 10 of them is clearcut - the last three (Goldberry, Tom and Ungoliath is not stated to be maiar although they might be)

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-17-2002, 01:14 PM

Okay - Which of the Valar is never given any action, and indeed is the only one not mentioned again after the Valaquenta?

- Cirdan / Maglor

Elrian · 01-17-2002, 02:23 PM

Nessa

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-21-2002, 03:13 PM

Nope - Nessa "danced upon the grass" after her wedding to Tulkas.

Any other takers?

- Cirdan / Maglor

Elrian · 01-22-2002, 02:08 AM

Vana

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-24-2002, 09:05 AM

Getting warmer ...

- Maglor

Turambar · 01-24-2002, 10:02 AM

Vairë ?

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-28-2002, 03:38 PM

It is Vaire indeed!

Next question please ...

Turambar · 01-29-2002, 09:42 AM

Which of the Valar is described in the Silmarillion as singing a song of power, and what was the result?

Telchar · 01-30-2002, 01:54 AM

Yavanna - the result was the growing of Two Trees

Turambar · 01-30-2002, 06:01 AM

Correct, Telchar. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Telchar · 01-30-2002, 07:52 AM

Ezellohar, the green mound outside Valmar has another name - which is?

Elenhin · 01-30-2002, 08:53 AM

Corollaire?

Telchar · 01-31-2002, 02:24 AM

Yes - go on.

Telchar · 01-31-2002, 02:29 AM

Yes - go on.

Elenhin · 01-31-2002, 11:48 AM

What were the Valar celebrating when Melkor and Ungoliant attacked the Two Trees?

Turambar · 01-31-2002, 12:06 PM

Just read that, I think! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The "Gates of Summer" festival. Featuring live music (of the ainur) and 10 cent miruvar, presumably.

Elenhin · 01-31-2002, 02:31 PM

"Gates of Summer" was actually a name the Gondolindrim used of the feast before the start of summer. Yet your answer was right - the Valar were having a same kind of festival, a celebration of the arrival of the summer.

Go on, Turambar. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar · 02-01-2002, 09:54 AM

Olòrin was associated with Manwë but he learned an important trait from another of the Valar - which one and what trait?

Elrian · 02-01-2002, 07:19 PM

He learned pity from Nienna

Turambar · 02-02-2002, 09:10 AM

I gotta come up with harder questions. Right again Elrian ! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Elrian · 02-02-2002, 09:30 PM

Who's gardens in Valinor are the source for minuvore?

Eowyn of Ithilien · 02-03-2002, 02:55 AM

Lorien's?????

Elrian · 02-03-2002, 06:34 AM

Not Lorien's.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-03-2002, 09:45 AM

Yavanna means "Giver of fruits"... was it her?

Elrian · 02-03-2002, 11:18 PM

It was Yavannah, your turn Androndo! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
