Evisse the Blue · 09-02-2003, 04:53 AM

Yes.
Gil-Galad - 1
Alquadae -1

What is the flower that shares her name with a weapon?

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-02-2003, 05:41 AM

Iris?

Evisse the Blue · 09-02-2003, 11:38 AM

Nope. Is there a weapon named iris? However, it's not the one I had in mind.

Turambar · 09-02-2003, 11:41 AM

Aeglos ?

Evisse the Blue · 09-02-2003, 12:10 PM

Yes, Aeglos which is also Gil-Galad's spear. Mariska, you probably meant the iris-swords. Have to confess I didn't know about them, now I do - thanks [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
So: Gil-Galad - 1
Alquadae - 1
Turambar -1

4. What was the doom of Huan?

Gil-Galad · 09-02-2003, 12:27 PM

didn't he fight Drauglin and was posioned from his fangs?

Evisse the Blue · 09-02-2003, 12:35 PM

No, it's not that.

Turambar · 09-02-2003, 12:40 PM

That he would fight the greatest wolf in M.E. (and die) ?

Evisse the Blue · 09-02-2003, 01:24 PM

Correct.
Gil-Galad - 1
Alquadae - 1
Turambar - 2

5. What is the origin of Celeborn? (the tree, not the elf [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Turambar · 09-02-2003, 01:33 PM

It grew from a seedling of Galathilion, the tree of Tirion.

Evisse the Blue · 09-02-2003, 01:59 PM

Yep -
Gil-Galad - 1
Alquadae - 1
Turambar - 3

Having reached the middle, I decide it's time to make it a little harder : [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]grin::

5. What is the most well known quality of the lissuin flower?

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-03-2003, 02:31 AM

If you mix it with the sap of Tasare, the resulting mixture is an invisibility cream.

Yeah, that was what I had in mind, nevermind! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You're putting me on! Either this, or you're confusing it with Harry Potter. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Anyway, it's not what I had in mind.

Hardly, to be honest, I do not know a thing about HP [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I guess my source wasn't that reliable after all...

Maybe the answer you are looking for is that it had a sweet perfume.

Evisse the Blue · 09-03-2003, 06:09 AM

I was kidding about the HP thing [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Yes, that's approximately it - I admit I was a bit vague with this question, mea culpa. It is said in UT:

8. What bird did the Teleri hold particularly dear?

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-04-2003, 04:40 PM

Presumably the Swan, as they fashioned their ships in the likeness of swans and named their city Alqualonde, Haven of the Swans.

Evisse the Blue · 09-05-2003, 04:20 PM

Indeed.

10. What did the Numenoreans place on the prows of their ships as a symbol of good fortune?

Gil-Galad · 09-07-2003, 08:52 AM

its up to Alquadae and Turambar

alquadae · 09-07-2003, 04:53 PM

Who created the Seven Butterflys?

Beren87 · 09-07-2003, 08:31 PM

Varda, and for some odd reason I despise that name. :/

alquadae · 09-08-2003, 03:18 AM

Varda placed them, she did not create them

Gil-Galad · 09-08-2003, 03:33 PM

Yavanna?

alquadae · 09-08-2003, 03:50 PM

Not quite,try again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 09-08-2003, 05:47 PM

From Robert Foster's Guide :

Quote:

Valacirca: The Constellation of seven stars shaped by Varda in preperation for the awakening of the elves.

From the Annals of Arda:

Quote:

Big dipper and a part of the Great bear. This is the mightiest of the works of Varda, Lady of the stars.

:/

Yavanna228 · 09-08-2003, 06:11 PM

Aule?

Peace

alquadae · 09-08-2003, 08:14 PM

The seven Butterflys "Aule was making a silver sickle. Melko interrupted his work telling him a lie concerning the lady Palurien. Aule so wroth that he broke the sicle with a blow. Seven sparks lept up and winged into the heavens.Varda caught them and gave them a place in the heavens as a sign of Palurins honor."
Wait a minute you say , what about the sickle of the Valar and the sign of doom? The Sil has her placing the sickle as a sign of doom but BOLT pp145 refers to the sickle as the Seven butterflys! Well done Yavanna 228

alquadae · 09-08-2003, 08:18 PM

ok
"Nahar is the name of his horse,white in the sun,and______ _______ at night."

alquadae · 09-08-2003, 08:59 PM

Well, after several re-reads it CAN be construed that Varda created Valacirca! Such are the"dangers" of the later publications.I bow to both Beren 87 and Yavanna 228

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-09-2003, 01:22 AM
