How many stars make up the Valacirca?

Pallando B.C · 12-15-2002, 06:22 PM

13?

Aylwen Dreamsong · 12-15-2002, 06:25 PM

Seven, Valacirca also translates in Quenya to "Sickle of the Valar". The Valacirca was basically our Great Bear.

Lindolirian · 12-15-2002, 07:37 PM

Correct, Aylwen.

Aylwen Dreamsong · 12-15-2002, 08:41 PM

What was the name of the man who betrayed the hiding place of Barahir and co., and how/why did he tell?

Pallando B.C · 12-15-2002, 08:58 PM

Gorlim son of Angrim told of the hidding place of Barahir.

He did this while in the custody of Sauron. He told of the hidding place in exchange for his freedom with his lost wife Eilinel.

Aylwen Dreamsong · 12-16-2002, 06:48 AM

Correct. Your turn.

Pallando B.C · 12-16-2002, 06:25 PM

Who was the first person (recorded) to recieve lembas ?

[ December 16, 2002: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

Lindolirian · 12-16-2002, 07:52 PM

Just a guess... Beleg?

Pallando B.C · 12-16-2002, 08:01 PM

Good guess, Lindolirian. Melian gave lembas to Beleg to aid him in his search for Turin.

Your go!

Lindolirian · 12-16-2002, 08:38 PM

Holy Elvish Twinkies!! Ah... good guess...

Who drove the Dwarves from Mount Dolmed?

Pallando B.C · 12-16-2002, 09:23 PM

I seem to recall it may have been the Shepherds of the Trees?

But I am guessing like you, Lindolirian

Lindolirian · 12-17-2002, 02:33 PM

Yes, it was the Ents.

Pallando B.C · 12-17-2002, 09:11 PM

What substance in the House of Tulkas made out of?

Lindolirian · 12-21-2002, 03:32 PM

Bronze perhaps, or is that just the Tower?

Pallando B.C · 12-21-2002, 06:30 PM

Bronze is correct, Lindolirian

Lindolirian · 12-23-2002, 02:21 PM

Very good...
What is the Sindarin name for Ossë?

Beren87 · 12-23-2002, 02:53 PM

Gaerys. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 12-23-2002, 04:04 PM

Correct.

Beren87 · 12-23-2002, 04:33 PM

Lovely!

Where did Orome ride that day before finding the Elves?

Lindolirian · 12-23-2002, 04:35 PM

He rode north of the Inland Sea of Helcar and near the Orocarni when Nahar neighed because he heard the Elvish singing.

Beren87 · 12-26-2002, 03:55 PM

You are correct!

Lindolirian · 12-27-2002, 07:03 PM

Whose death was the spark that ignited the Fifth Battle?

tom bombariffic · 12-28-2002, 05:09 PM

T'was Gelmir of Nargothrond was't not?

[ December 28, 2002: Message edited by: tom bombariffic ]

Lindolirian · 12-28-2002, 06:54 PM

tom bombariffic · 12-29-2002, 05:30 AM

Who led the forces of the Valar in the War of Wrath?

Lindolirian · 12-29-2002, 10:21 AM

Eonwë herald of Manwë.

tom bombariffic · 12-29-2002, 11:40 AM

of course, who else? Sorry It wasnt more challenging, I'm not much on the first age...

Lindolirian · 12-29-2002, 09:28 PM

What are the individual names (in order) of the gates that bar the Orfalch Echor?

Pallando B.C · 12-29-2002, 09:34 PM

I think they are: The Gate of Wood, the Gate of Stone, the Gate of Bronze, the Gate of Writhen Iron, the Gate of Silver, the Golden Gate and the Gate of Steel.

Lindolirian · 12-29-2002, 09:35 PM

Now, did you look that up? Just kidding. Go ahead.

Pallando B.C · 12-29-2002, 09:44 PM

Have Faith, Lindolirian

What did Mim 'complain' about when telling Túrin the names of nearby hills?

Lindolirian · 12-29-2002, 09:46 PM

He complained that the Elves came over the Sea and took his lands and changed all the names of the hills and other landmarks.

Pallando B.C · 12-29-2002, 11:12 PM

Very Correct, Lindolirian.

I thought that was funny....

Lindolirian · 12-30-2002, 05:20 PM

In which battle was "Fell-fire" killed?

Bruce MacCulloch · 12-31-2002, 12:54 AM

Aegnor fell in the 'the fourth of the great battles, Dagor Bragollach, the Battle of Sudden Flame.'

Lindolirian · 12-31-2002, 10:48 AM

You have it.

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-01-2003, 09:50 PM

Wose image was on the Gate of Writhen Iron?

Lindolirian · 01-01-2003, 09:51 PM

Mine... just kidding. I believe it was Thorondor's

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-01-2003, 11:31 PM

That's the one!
