Then it's D) A dwarven name for a peak in the Misty Mountains.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-08-2007, 07:53 AM

Indeed. It is a short form of "Bundushathur", Gimli uses that once. It's the Dwarven name of Cloudyhead (I hope it's the correct name. Fanuidhol in Elvish).

Nerwen · 12-08-2007, 08:09 AM

Telchar is the name of

A) A constellation.
B) A dwarf.
C) A range of hills in Eriador.
D) A King of Gondor.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-08-2007, 08:13 AM

B) A dwarf of Nogrod

Nerwen · 12-08-2007, 08:44 AM

Yep. Can't fool you!

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-08-2007, 09:05 AM

Don't lose hope

A new one:

Faelivrin is:

A) A lake in Beleriand
B) Name of a hunter from Doriath
C) An Elf woman's name
D) A kind of a sea-bird

Nerwen · 12-08-2007, 06:55 PM

C) An Elf woman's name. It's what Gwindor called Finduilas.

Nogrod · 12-08-2007, 07:13 PM

"Faelivrin: Name given to Finduilas by Gwindor." (Index to Silmarillion, by word)

You can do better than that Legate!

Good to see you Nerwen pick it up already...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-09-2007, 03:42 AM

Well, everyone complained that my questions were too hard

But as you see, looking it up took enough time from you that Nerwen could reply instead of you. Who comes first...

Nerwen, please continue

Nerwen · 12-09-2007, 04:46 AM

Tarostar was the name of

A) A Man of Gondor.
B) The mountain under which Turgon built Vinyamar.
C) A promontory in Númenor.
D) The symbols used to represent vowels when writing tengwar.

The Might · 12-09-2007, 04:59 AM

Nerwen · 12-09-2007, 05:07 AM

You have it, Might. (Actually it was the original name of Rómendacil I.)

Thread's yours.

The Might · 12-09-2007, 08:26 AM

Glithui is:

A. a city
B. a forest
C. a river
D. none of the above

Groin Redbeard · 12-09-2007, 06:32 PM

I believe Glithui was a small river that rose beneath Amon Darthir in the Mountains of Shadow. Is the answer C?

The Might · 12-10-2007, 08:57 AM

Yes

Groin Redbeard · 12-10-2007, 12:44 PM

Yay, thank you Might!

Who was the Sorcerer of Dol Guldur?

A. Sauron
B. A Barrow Wight
C. A Nazgul
D. Gandalf in disguise

Good luck!

Thinlómien · 12-10-2007, 12:51 PM

Sauron.

Although D would be so funny.

Groin Redbeard · 12-10-2007, 12:54 PM

Wow

! I haven't got this question up here for more than ten minutes and someone already gets it right. Maybe my questions are a little to easy.

Anyway, the thread is yours Thinlomien, great job!

Thinlómien · 12-11-2007, 10:40 AM

Enderi

A) the mountains circling Taur-nu-Fuin
B) the days in the middle of a year in the Elvish calendar
C) Arien's maids who helped her with the vessel of Sun
D) a tribe of Nandorin Elves living in south-western Beleriand

The Might · 12-11-2007, 12:27 PM

Had to look this one up, turns out it's B.
Though otherwise I would have probably said D.

Wow, I managed to make a not-that-obvious question.

Your turn it is, then.

The Might · 12-11-2007, 01:00 PM

Well, it was indeed not so obvious

Lond Daer:

A. Was originally named Vinyalonde.
B. Was never rebuilt.
C. Was a place where timber was delivered.
Was a place where reinforcements arrived.

Nerwen · 12-11-2007, 05:38 PM

A. Was originally named Vinyalonde.

The Might · 12-12-2007, 06:56 AM

Oh dear, I seem to have been quite confused when I posted, it's more like three truths and a lie...
Anyway, please continue.

Nerwen · 12-12-2007, 07:22 AM

Estolad was

A) A region of Beleriand.
B) A river rising in the Grey Mountains.
C) An Elf of Nargothrond.
D) A Steward of Gondor.

The Might · 12-12-2007, 07:58 AM

I'll go ahead and say A, though I am smewhat uncertain.

Nerwen · 12-12-2007, 08:20 AM

A it is.

Over to you, Might.

The Might · 12-12-2007, 09:08 AM

I am not sure about it still, but I think Estolad was where the first Men settled in Beleriand.

Anyway,

Lebethron staves were used by:

A. the Dunlendings
B. the Woodmen
C. the Beornings
D. the Men of the White Mountains

Groin Redbeard · 12-12-2007, 11:36 AM

B: the woodmen of Gondor.

The Might · 12-12-2007, 12:52 PM

Nope.
Also, please use one of the above, and don't add anything.
I am talking about the Woodmen from the Hobbit.

Groin Redbeard · 12-12-2007, 05:16 PM

Sorry, I assumed the woodmen were from Gondor because the Lebethron trees were grown in Gondor, and beloved by the woodsmen there.

The Might · 12-13-2007, 07:40 AM

Well, after you said that, you shuld probably be sure the answer is...

Nerwen · 12-13-2007, 05:45 PM

The answer is D) The Men of the White Mountains...

but do you count my answer or Groin's?

The Might · 12-14-2007, 06:43 AM

I count your answer, Nerwen due to in my opinion obvious reasons.

Nerwen · 12-14-2007, 07:12 AM

Helevorn was

A) A metal devised by Ëol.
B) A lake.
C) A type of tree.
D) A Man of Rohan.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-14-2007, 07:15 AM

A lake, of course.

Nerwen · 12-14-2007, 08:02 AM

Of course. Your turn.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-14-2007, 08:41 AM

Imloth Melui was:

A) a place in Valinor
B) a place in Gondor
C) a song by Daeron
