Isilya is the name of

A) A day of the week.
B) A princess of Númenor.
C) A weapon.
D) The magical substance used to make the designs on the gate of Moria.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-15-2007, 03:48 AM

Hmmm... I am somewhat torn. I know what it definitely is NOT, but in case I am wrong...

I believe, A) ?

Nerwen · 12-15-2007, 04:35 AM

Well guessed!

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-15-2007, 04:50 AM

I knew there was such a day though I didn't know if its name is not a little different (that's why it is called Bluff, anyway, eh?). All right, here goes the next one:

Henderch was:

A) A place in Gondor.
B) A man from Númenor.
C) An Elven feast.
D) A chieftain from Rhovanion.

Nerwen · 12-15-2007, 05:01 AM

Hmmn. Now this is a tough one.

Is it A) A place in Gondor?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-15-2007, 05:40 AM

Nope.

Nerwen · 12-15-2007, 06:16 AM

Then it's

B) A man from Númenor.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-15-2007, 06:39 AM

Indeed, one of Aldarion's sailors. Your turn.

Nerwen · 12-15-2007, 08:03 AM

Calembel is the name of

A) A valley.
B) A town.
C) A type of food eaten by Elves.
D) A beacon.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-15-2007, 08:09 AM

B) A town in Gondor, of course...

By the way, Nerwen, don't you want to try to answer a question I posted about hundred years ago in the Blue Wizards Quizzes? I have the feeling that you could do it...

Nerwen · 12-15-2007, 08:48 AM

It is, of course, Calembel... and it's your turn.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-15-2007, 09:04 AM

B it is. Very good.

The Might · 12-20-2007, 03:38 AM

Ok, new one:

Núath is
A in N Beleriand
B in S Beleriand
C in E Beleriand
D in W Beleriand

Nerwen · 12-23-2007, 02:07 AM

Correct

Please, continue.

Groin Redbeard · 12-24-2007, 11:35 AM

Groin Redbeard · 12-24-2007, 12:13 PM

Correct!

The Might · 12-27-2007, 09:05 AM

Well, here is the next one. Btw, I have some strange problem when posting so the option can't be below each other, sorry. So... Dorwinion is known for its: A. Wine B. Beer C. Miruvor D. Rum

Nerwen · 12-27-2007, 09:56 AM

A) Wine.

Groin Redbeard · 01-01-2008, 04:25 PM

I think you got it Nerwen!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-01-2008, 04:29 PM

I think that is probably what it is! I'm not sure though.

~TGEW-Who is not a Wight anymore!

Nerwen · 01-21-2008, 05:55 AM

Might? Hello?

Nerwen · 01-23-2008, 03:50 AM

Since we're long past the 10-day limit, and since I know my answer was right, I'm going to continue.

Androth was the name of:

A) A Wise-woman of the House of Bëor.
B) A pass between the South Downs and the Barrow Downs.
C) The caves in the hills of Mithrim.
D) An outlaw.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-23-2008, 03:53 PM

Well, I don't know what it is, to be honest, but I know what it isn't

so by elimination method:

A) A Wise-woman of the House of Bëor is Andreth
B) A pass between the South Downs and the Barrow Downs is Andrath
D) An outlaw is Andróg

Therefore, C) must be the right answer

Nerwen · 01-23-2008, 07:56 PM

Nice deductive work, Sherlock!

Yes. The Caves of Androth are where Tuor was brought up.

Carry on, Legate.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-24-2008, 04:16 AM

Sandastan is:

A) a Hobbit
B) a Númenorean
C) a constellation
D) none of the above

Nerwen · 01-24-2008, 06:38 AM

D) None of the above.

What is it?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-24-2008, 07:07 AM

The shield barrier used by Númenoreans

And you are right, of course.
