Beren87 · 01-01-2003, 07:54 PM

A possible answer, but im looking for a certain substance not an item.

Beren87 · 01-01-2003, 07:58 PM

I have no idea what that is, but its not the answer.

hobbitlass · 01-01-2003, 11:22 PM

Is it ithildin, like what the door of Durin is made of/

Beren87 · 01-02-2003, 06:21 PM

Yes hobbitlass! THAT was the answer I was looking for. And at the end, the scores seem to be:
Thengise-2
Tolkiengurl-4
tom bombariffic-1
King Turgon-1
Hobbitlass-1

Which means that Tolkiengurl is the winner! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood · 01-02-2003, 06:32 PM

Hey Congratulations Tolkiengurl!

Oh and didn't I have 3 right? Oh well...

TolkienGurl · 01-03-2003, 08:33 AM

Alright, here's question number 1. There are two parts:

Where did these pearls come from?

Might be too easy...

Beren87 · 01-03-2003, 03:29 PM

The Dwarves of Belegost, and (this one i had to look up) from Cirdan.

TolkienGurl · 01-03-2003, 09:43 PM

Great!

At the time of the War of the Ring, this Man was a ruler. He was known as 'the Old' and also 'the Fat.' He aided in the Siege of Minas Tirith, but was cut down on the Pelennor Fields. Who was he and what country did he rule?

Allright!

1.What 3 leaders routed the armies of the Witch-king in the battle of Fornost?

Pallando B.C · 01-11-2003, 03:45 AM

Was it Círdan of Lindon, Eärnur of Gondor and Glorfindel of Rivendell?

Beren87 · 01-11-2003, 05:53 PM

That it would be!

2.Who gave Maeglin his name?

Pallando B.C-1

Pallando B.C · 01-11-2003, 05:58 PM

It was his Father, Eöl. He didn't get the name until he was twelve i think.

[ January 11, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

Beren87 · 01-11-2003, 06:01 PM

Correct! And thank you for providing the signifigance of the question.

Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood · 01-11-2003, 07:33 PM

Erm...the Sammath Naur?

Thats right Thengise.

Pallando B.C-2
Thengise-1

Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood · 01-11-2003, 07:51 PM

I think the two dates are 1899 and 1944. I believe it was in the third age....

Beren87 · 01-11-2003, 09:34 PM

Correct once again Thengise!

5.Who was the most powerful northern prince of TA 13th century?

Pallando B.C-2

Pallando B.C · 01-11-2003, 10:36 PM

King Argeleb I? Or maybe Atanatar Alcarin.
Not sure on this one, but I must keep up my pace, since Thengise is snapping at my heals.

[ January 11, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

Beren87 · 01-11-2003, 10:44 PM

Aye, seems I've stumped ye for once. Both of those are incorrect but good guesses.

Pallando B.C · 01-11-2003, 10:49 PM

You have stumped me. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Two more;

- King Arveleg
- Or simply the Wraith of Angmar

Thanks, Beren you have made me resort to un-educated guesses.

Beren87 · 01-11-2003, 11:08 PM

Ah, no and no.

Hint: He aided a Gondorian King in a great victory of the Easterlings

Beren87 · 01-17-2003, 11:53 AM

Welp, it looks as though no one is going to get it. So i'll give the answer, it was Vidugavia.

6.Who else did the mithril-vein of Kazad-dum draw to Eregoin, (besides the dwarves)?

Pallando B.C-2
