D it is!

Your turn!

ElentariGreenleaf · 04-18-2007, 11:54 AM

Wow... My thread lasted this long? Nice ^_^

I wont continue it though because anything I post'll be way too easy for you guys because I haven't read LotR in ages.

Thinlómien · 09-28-2007, 03:18 PM

Is Rhosgobel:
A) a warlord serving the Witch-King of Angmar?
B) Radagast's home?
C) the Elvish name of Skinbark?
D) a river in Dunland?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 09-29-2007, 02:59 AM

B) is correct, of course. But I don't deny that D) or even more A) would be very interesting answers as well (meaning it would be fantastic if they were right

)

Thinlómien · 09-29-2007, 09:01 AM

Well, I don't know what is so particularly fascinating about rivers in Dunland

, but anyway, the thread is yours as you're obviously correct.

You know, from certain time I realized that all the places in Enedwaith, Minhiriath and Dunland are so mysterious that any information about them would be certainly interesting. And we don't know how the Dunnish names sounded like; so maybe something like Rhosgobel would be possible. The Witch-King's lieutenant was a better idea, though.

Is Adunakhor:

A) a mountain in East Beleriand?
B) the sword of Thingol?
C) true name of the Eight Ringwraith?
D) a Númenorean king?

The Might · 09-29-2007, 11:32 AM

Even without checking it in the book, you can notice it sounds Numenorean.

So D.

Definitely not C cause his name is Carl.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 09-29-2007, 11:53 AM

Okay, whatever. Please continue.

Thinlómien · 12-03-2007, 08:24 AM

Another poke to The Might...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-05-2007, 10:07 AM

Maybe he doesn't hear well enough.

MIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!

The Might · 12-05-2007, 10:20 AM

Ah, sorry!

Well...I find this game too easy, anyway at least as long as Legate is around, but still:

Carl isn't the Nazgul, but actually he is a Hobbit from the family:

A. Burrows
B. Bolger
C. Proudfoot
D. Cotton

Thinlómien · 12-05-2007, 11:39 AM

You two really make me laugh...

Cotton?

The Might · 12-05-2007, 12:42 PM

Yep. indeed some distant relative of Rosie.

Thinlómien · 12-05-2007, 05:21 PM

Soronto

A) Fëanor's servant
B) Saeros's brother
C) Aldarion's nephew
D) Mardil's son

Nerwen · 12-05-2007, 09:27 PM

I'm guessing C) Aldarion's nephew.

Thinlómien · 12-06-2007, 07:13 AM

Good guess. The thread is yours.

Nerwen · 12-06-2007, 09:18 AM

Angrim was:

A) A fortress in Gondor.
B) The third son of Finarfin.
C) Gorlim's father.
D) The knife used by Beren to cut the Silmaril from Morgoth's crown.

Thinlómien · 12-06-2007, 09:21 AM

I'm guessing... D?

Nerwen · 12-06-2007, 09:30 AM

Wrong!

Groin Redbeard · 12-06-2007, 12:33 PM

Is the answer C: Gorlim's father?

The Might · 12-06-2007, 03:59 PM

I'll got with the knife.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-06-2007, 04:20 PM

Nerwen · 12-06-2007, 07:34 PM

Gorlim's father it is. Please take the thread, Groin.

Groin Redbeard · 12-06-2007, 08:18 PM

Yipee, I did it!

This person fought in the Battle of the Five Armies and the Battle of the Dale. Who was it?

A. Azog
B. Dain II Ironfoot
C. King Brand
D. King Thranduil

Good luck!

Nerwen · 12-07-2007, 03:22 AM

B) Dain II Ironfoot.

Groin Redbeard · 12-07-2007, 08:42 AM

Excellent, the thread's yours.

Nerwen · 12-07-2007, 09:54 AM

Nóm is one of the names of:

A) A Vala.
B) An Elven king.
C) A dwarf who accompanied Balin to Moria.
D) A river in Ithilien.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-07-2007, 10:11 AM

I say B), it was the name of Finrod (and some other elves in general).

Nerwen · 12-07-2007, 10:15 AM

Yes, it's Finrod. And the "Nómin" were the Noldor– this is meant to be the origin of "gnome".

Your turn.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-07-2007, 10:22 AM

The Oghor-hai were:

A) A kind of big Orcs
B) A kind of small Men
C) A kind of clever Trolls
D) A kind of stupid Elves

Nerwen · 12-07-2007, 10:26 AM

I'm guessing B).

Edit: adding to that, I think it's the Black Speech name for the Drúedain.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-07-2007, 10:29 AM

Indeed, it was an Orc word for the Drúedain. Your turn.

Nerwen · 12-07-2007, 10:42 AM

Salmar was:

A) A bay on the coast of Dol Amroth.
B) A member of the Took Family.
C) A Maia.
D) A city in Númenor.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-07-2007, 10:44 AM

Hmmm... that's very tricky.

I would say, C?

Nerwen · 12-07-2007, 10:49 AM

And you'd be right.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-07-2007, 11:18 AM

Yes, I wasn't sure whether it isn't a Took after all, because I don't know the English names of the Hobbits. (So you now know my weakness.) I could have added he's the maia of Ulmo (now that I know I was right I can say that with certainty).

Okay... what about this:

Shathur is:

A) Name of one of the Orcs who died in Cirith Ungol
B) Orcish word for "old man"
C) Adunaic name of one of Aldarion's ships
D) A Dwarven name for a peak in the Misty Mountains

Groin Redbeard · 12-07-2007, 03:03 PM

The word sounds to nice to be Orcish and dosen't sound like Khuzadul. Is it C?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-07-2007, 03:18 PM

Nope, it isn't C.

Nerwen · 12-07-2007, 08:37 PM

How about A)?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-08-2007, 05:17 AM

Not even A)

In fact I am content, 50% of the answers were wrong, which in a question like that means a lot.
