Sorry for the delay, I was away on vacation.

What was the witness of the fight between Turin and Saeros sitting on when she saw the fight?

akhtene · 01-05-2003, 06:01 PM

I could only find the name of the witness - Nellas.
And what she was sitting on..? On a rock?

Lindolirian · 01-05-2003, 06:02 PM

Nellas was her name, and she told Thingol what she was sitting on. Keep trying!

Hey cool, my 1000th post!!!

Russandol · 01-05-2003, 06:37 PM

Nellas, Turin's friend, was sitting on a tree when she witnessed the fight, so the answer would be wood.

Lindolirian · 01-05-2003, 06:51 PM

Correct. And now maybe akhtene will go out and buy the Unfinished Tales... hehehe [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Russandol · 01-05-2003, 06:57 PM

Hail and well met again Lindolirian. You may remember me as that impudent scamp Mr Heathertoes. The witness relocation programme have given me this name ...

Here's another nassty tricksy little poser..

What was the Cum nan Arasaith ?

Lindolirian · 01-05-2003, 07:02 PM

Mat_Heathertoes!!! Wow this is great. A great quizmaster is returned. Oh right, the question... ummm

It is the Mound of Avarice near Menegroth. That was a nassty little poser. You made me look it up!

Russandol · 01-05-2003, 08:20 PM

Hehe, of course you are right old friend .. do carry on ...

akhtene · 01-05-2003, 10:28 PM

To Lindolirian
I wish I could buy it [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] But I just can't find it anywhere in my city.

Lindolirian · 01-06-2003, 03:08 PM

What was the Dramborleg?

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-06-2003, 08:01 PM

Tuor's axe.

Did I hear someone say Heathertoes? Mat, you old dog!

Lindolirian · 01-06-2003, 08:02 PM

Yes, I remember you two were always at each other's throats with crazy hard questions. Anyways, you are correct Bruce!

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-07-2003, 10:33 AM

What did Mîm refuse to tell the name of?

Russandol · 01-07-2003, 01:24 PM

The true name of the earth-bread that the Petty-Dwarves delved for.

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-07-2003, 04:49 PM

Yeah, I suppose that's close enough. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Mattius · 01-07-2003, 05:39 PM

his roots, but also his home too i think

Lindolirian · 01-15-2003, 05:37 PM

Russandol?

Russandol · 01-15-2003, 10:37 PM

Which Adan of the First Age had a famous bow?

Turambar · 01-16-2003, 01:56 PM

Turin ?

Lindolirian · 01-18-2003, 04:38 PM

Perhaps it was Androg? I know that he coveted the bow of Beleg which was the most famous bow of the First Age (I think), but Beleg was an Elf, and his bow was buried with him...

Russandol · 01-20-2003, 08:14 AM

It was actually an heirloom of the Dunedain. [Major clue there]

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 03:06 PM

Still not really sure...Elros? He was half Adan...

Ultimatejoe · 01-27-2003, 03:20 PM

Turin wielded a bow when in Brethil, but someone already mentioned him.

Russandol · 01-28-2003, 12:38 PM

Another clue - It was lost in the wrack of Numenor

Ultimatejoe · 01-28-2003, 03:00 PM

I'm assuming you mean wreck?

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-28-2003, 08:23 PM

Quote:

I'm quite sure that Russandol has a very good grasp of the correct word to use here. Wrack is, indeed, the appropriate term.
From Merriam Webster:
Wrack - noun
(Etymology: Middle English, from Old English wræc misery, punishment, something driven by the sea; akin to Old English wrecan to drive, punish - Date: 15th century)
: Ruin, destruction

Beren87 · 01-29-2003, 03:49 PM

Silmarlën? Can it be found in the Silm?

Russandol · 01-29-2003, 07:14 PM

Try the Unfinished Tales.

Pallando B.C · 01-29-2003, 08:50 PM

Was it Bregor?

Russandol · 01-30-2003, 09:41 AM

Bregor it was, phew ...

Pallando B.C · 01-30-2003, 05:21 PM

Who, of Túrin's outlaw-band, was slain by Orcs when travelling to Nargothrond?

Lindolirian · 01-30-2003, 08:20 PM

It was Orleg. The Orcs thought he and Turin were Noldor, hence their cries of Golug!.

Pallando B.C · 01-30-2003, 10:13 PM

I really need to make these harder...

Your Turn Lindolirian.

Lindolirian · 01-31-2003, 03:51 PM

Yes, the hardest part of trivia is coming up with tough questions...

Who was killed in the same place and same way as his father?

Russandol · 02-01-2003, 04:13 PM

Maeglin, same as his father Eol, was thrown from the walls of Gondolin.

Lindolirian · 02-01-2003, 08:06 PM

Correct!

Lindolirian · 02-10-2003, 02:55 PM

Russandol?

Pallando B.C · 02-17-2003, 04:57 PM

To keep the thread going........

Why did Serindë go to Lorien after the birth of her son.

Beren87 · 02-17-2003, 05:08 PM

Because the birth of Fëanor exhausted her so much that she went to Lorien where her spirit left her body.
