Dear lathspell, what made you think I had confused Sirion and Sirannon? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
If you mean that part where I mentioned that The Ring never crossed Sirannon I'm pretty sure that that is the case. Although the Fellowship followed the riverside (of Sirannon - or what was left of it) I think they never crossed it.

Tar-Palantir · 02-24-2003, 08:36 AM

No Lathspell that is not it.

*hint* three of them have a special feature.

Lindolirian · 02-24-2003, 08:37 AM

Just a guess, but the Sirannon is the only one without an island?

lathspell · 02-24-2003, 12:14 PM

or because it's the only one that didn't flow anymore during the Great Years

My mistake, Annunfuiniel. I thought you meant Beleriand by that, because it was destroyed. I never realised that the Sirannon was only a dry bed by the time that the company arrived there. And I've read the LotR already for 7 times or so... maybe I need read it again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 02-24-2003, 01:46 PM

Better line of thinking Lindolirian. I like question to turn over fast so I'll give another hint. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*hint* what was so special about Nimrodel?

elven maiden Earwen · 02-24-2003, 02:19 PM

Nimrodel because it is the only one that was named after someone or had someone living there.

Tar-Palantir · 02-24-2003, 02:46 PM

No, I'm sorry Earwen that is not a correct answer. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 02-25-2003, 03:29 PM

Nimrodel does not have the ruins of an ancient city. Near the source of the Baranduin is what's left of Annuminas, at the junction of Sirannon and Glanduin was Ost-in-Edhel, and the ruins of Osgiliath span Anduin in Gondor

Tar-Palantir · 02-25-2003, 04:08 PM

It's hard to think of another hint!

Nimrodel is not the answer, just a clue to the answer. Go read the book, it's calling you, I hear it...

got it yet? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 02-25-2003, 04:17 PM

Is it Baranduin? All the others had a waterfall but I have never read that Baranduin had one. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 02-25-2003, 04:30 PM

Nimrodel - The Falls of Nimrodel (I love that little section)
Baranduin
Sirannon - The Stair Falls
Anduin - The Falls of Rauros

Annunfuiniel - you're killing me today! good job. If you run over to Geography grilling you might get a trifecta. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 02-26-2003, 02:56 AM

Oh, missed that Geography thing, damn!
But hey, nobody's perfect! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Angband
Barad-dûr
Dol Guldur
Minas Morgul
Minas Tirith

Pallando B.C · 02-26-2003, 03:06 AM

Minas Tirith was never occupied by evil.

Angband was the only structure of the First Age.

Minas Morgul since it was the only place to be taken over by evil.

or Dol Guldur becuase it was the only one to cause a name change for its surroundings.

Annunfuiniel · 02-26-2003, 03:15 AM

Dol Guldur might have been the right answer but it's NOT! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

lathspell · 02-26-2003, 05:45 PM

Minas Tirith is the only place Sauron hasn't been
or
Minas Tirith is the only place where Sauron wasn't ever in the history of M-e in command.

The best I could come up with yet

greetings,
lathspell

Tar-Palantir · 02-26-2003, 08:03 PM

Dol Guldur wasn't raised? (no towers, had no external construct, just a hill?)

Lindolirian · 02-26-2003, 08:08 PM

I think it did have a tower. I suppose Gandalf would know; he's been there.

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 12:36 AM

Nope and nope! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Hint: One of those places isn't what it first seems (or rather sounds) to be...

Tar-Palantir · 02-27-2003, 12:52 AM

Minas Morgul beacause it used to be Minas Ithil. The others never had another name.

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 01:17 AM

Points to you T-P for that but it still isn't the answer I'm looking for. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hint: Minas Tirith of ???? (just to give you a new perspective)

Tar-Palantir · 02-28-2003, 06:21 PM

Minas Tirith was the only stronghold of good.

Durelin · 02-28-2003, 06:25 PM

Ummmmm...Angband because it's the only place underground? The rest are above ground? Sorry, best I could do! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Durelin · 02-28-2003, 06:31 PM

Wait! Minas Morgul and Minas Ithil are the same place! So is it Minas Ithil because that was the name before???

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 12:40 AM

Oh, my hint was too subtle! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Well, I ment that this Minas Tirith isn't the one in M-E (but still it isn't the answer)...

Tar-Palantir · 03-01-2003, 01:26 AM

Minas Tirith was built and occupied by elves?

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 01:40 AM

That ain't it either but it has to do with who dwelt and where...
Hope this leads you to the right track! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-01-2003, 02:02 AM

This is my last guess [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Minas Morgul because Sauron never actually dwelt there, even though he controlled it.

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 02:19 AM

YES, that's it! *storm of applause* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Your turn.

Tar-Palantir · 03-01-2003, 01:23 PM

Ok, here is another one.

Amon Sûl
Cirith Ungol
Amon Hen
Orodruin

No clues this time..hehehe [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Rose Cotton · 03-01-2003, 02:31 PM

Orodruin because it was never built upon?

Gil-Galad · 03-02-2003, 07:55 PM

Cirith ungol wasn't destroyed

or Cirith ungol was the meanign of the tower when it was in control of evil
(i mean its a different name then its original because Mt.Doom was what man called it and Amon sul and Amon hen was there original names so i would sya Coith Ungol)

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 03-02-2003, 08:21 PM

Cirith Ungol is the only one that refers to a tower, not a hill or mountain with a building in or on it.

Tar-Palantir · 03-02-2003, 08:55 PM

Cirith Ungol is a pass the Rinbearer used, I am not referring to the Tower of Cirith Ungol. I will enlarge the list, and that way an extra clue will be added.

Amon Sûl
Cirith Ungol
Amon Hen
Orodruin
Bree

good luck [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Elfhelm · 03-02-2003, 09:12 PM

Cirith Ungol, because that was the only place listed where Frodo didn't put on the Ring, even though Sam did. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-02-2003, 09:14 PM

YaY, good job.

your turn, Elfhelm. By the way, it is also your turn on the 'Who am I?' thread. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Elfhelm · 03-02-2003, 09:22 PM

Well, here it goes...

Hollin
Amon Hen
Minas Tirith
the Morannon
Woodhall

lathspell · 03-03-2003, 12:09 PM

Hollin is the only place where once lived Elves and not anymore.

Elfhelm · 03-03-2003, 12:35 PM

Well, that's true, but it isn't the answer I'm looking for. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 03-08-2003, 10:52 AM

Amon hen was the only thing that was commanded by men and was left in ruins

the real findorfin · 03-08-2003, 07:13 PM

Woodhall is the only place where a battle hasn't occured.

Alternately, Minas Tirith is the only place Frodo didnt go before the destruction of the Ring.
