Neither. Keep trying!

Laiudanama · 07-12-2006, 04:26 AM

Would that be Goldberry?

MatthewM · 07-12-2006, 03:22 PM

Yes! Good job. Your turn.

Valier · 07-26-2006, 05:51 PM

Since it's been awhile......

Who was the chief captain of Thingol?

Glirdan · 07-26-2006, 06:02 PM

Does he even have a name in the book??

Gil-Galad · 07-26-2006, 08:03 PM

Mablung the Heavy-Handed? or perhaps...the name aludes me right now... he was friend of Tuor... his bow was Belthronding...bah you know who i'm talking about

Glirdan · 07-26-2006, 09:00 PM

Right!! Got the names mixed up.... Oh well.

Gil, would you be talking about Beleg Strongbow? Or at least I think that's the last part of his name...

Gil-Galad · 07-26-2006, 09:20 PM

yep Beleg! thanks Glirdy

Glirdan · 08-30-2006, 08:58 AM

Valier?

Valier · 08-30-2006, 11:11 AM

It was Mablung...so who ever had it first, the thread is yours.

Beleg Cuthalion · 11-12-2006, 12:19 PM

If no one else is going to go, I have one.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-12-2006, 12:22 PM

Go ahead Beleg Cuthalion.

Beleg Cuthalion · 11-12-2006, 12:29 PM

Ok thanks

The Elves did not carry curved swords save one. Who was he?

Beleg Cuthalion · 11-14-2006, 07:22 PM

Will no one venture a guess?

Thinlómien · 11-15-2006, 02:12 AM

Maybe your question is too difficult....

But I'll guess for guessing's sake.

Beleg?

I guess your right, and sorry no it was not.

Soooo......I'm giong to drop a hit for this one, and that is that I provided the answer for this question a long time a go in a short lived thread some where in the forum.....

Thinlómien · 11-16-2006, 03:49 AM

In that case

Egalmoth of the house of the Heavenly Arch.

Checking your profile and "find all posts by Beleg Cuthalion" and scrolling the list. Quite simple.

I'll set a question tomorrow.

Thinlómien · 11-22-2006, 03:36 AM

Who got lost and never saw her family or friends again and instead married a man of high birth and gave birth to sons that became lords?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-22-2006, 08:12 AM

Well that could match the myth about Nimrodel . . . .but I think I read that it was more likely that it was one of her following that got married and are the ancester of the Lords of Dol Amroth.

Yes it was, a handmaiden or something like that.

Thinlómien · 11-23-2006, 03:40 AM

Rune, you're correct and can take the thread, but she did have a name too...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-24-2006, 05:55 AM

Which Elven princess married a meer messenger?

Thinlómien · 11-25-2006, 05:14 AM

It was Idril.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-25-2006, 07:21 AM

why sorry?

It was correct

Telchar · 11-25-2006, 12:14 PM

But Elwing would fit just as well for an answer....

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-25-2006, 01:51 PM

nah. . . Tuor had an exact message from Ulmo, Eärendil did not carry a message as such.

Anyways it is good to see you again Telchar

Telchar · 11-25-2006, 03:10 PM

Quote:

many messengers that in after days sailed into the West none came ever to Valinor - save one only: the mightiest mariner of song.

Good to see you too Rune - as you know, I tend to pop in and out with great irregularity.

The above clearly states that he was thought of as a messenger - besides his messages was clearly the most important of all...

Thinlómien · 11-27-2006, 02:37 AM

Sorry because I took the thread and I had had it before you...

Anyway, the next question is:

Who had a magic sheath?

Telchar · 11-27-2006, 06:32 PM

possibly all 4 hobbits after leaving the barrow downs, possibly aragorn after leaving lorien... the words are not desisive...?

Do you mean.....The one Aragorn received as a gift a sheath overlaid with a tracery of flowers and leaves in silver and gold and in runes was written the lineage of the sword and its name and the blade drown from the sheath would never be stained or broken? (Gasp, gasp) Given by Galadriel and Celeborn magic sheath?

-EDIT ******************************

Thinlómien · 11-28-2006, 02:50 AM

Yes, I was thinking about Aragorn. Telchar mentions it first but Beleg has a better answer (Telchar is kind of maybe-ing). Anyway, no hard feelings, I'm giving it to Telchar since I'm glad he's just returned from his long absence.

No problem.

BTW I didn't think my use of words in the previous post were anywhere near to being so "strong" as to be defined as "unfamily-friendly"

so I apologize for my poor use of words....On the one hand I agree compleatly with keeping forums FF. but on the other I think this might be… Just...by chance, perhaps.. a tad over the top...???

I also really like it when people find the time to criticize, but not lave their name…

Thank you

Well, that's strange, I mean, I surely wasn't offended or anything since I can't even remember what you wrote, so if it didn't catch my attention, it surely wasn't anything horrible...? (Or then I'm not paying attention at all or too liberal.

)

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-29-2006, 04:23 AM

I didn't notice anything either. . .

mormegil · 12-03-2006, 01:43 AM

Let's keep these posts related to character trivia please.

Beleg Cuthalion · 12-03-2006, 02:22 PM

Whoa, sorry my bad

Since Telcar doesn’t seem to be around and it's pretty close to 10 days...

Q: Where did Aragorn and Gandalf first meet?

lathspell · 12-04-2006, 06:26 AM

Probably in Rivendell. That's where Aragorn grew up.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 12-04-2006, 08:06 AM

I actually cannot remember this. . . Lorien?

next time, please wait until the 10 days has past before posting a new question, it could be that Telchar had wanted to ask it, but had not gotten around to it yet.
