This is probably a stupid guess, because I've been given lots of translations and none match exactly, but Elros?

(Simply because ross is rain and I can't find another Elf with that element)

Nope... she was "Star-Spray" I believe.

Or 'Star-foam'. 'Wing' means both, you know [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Elf-rain... hang on, I'd better have a look at the back of the Sil for this... hmm I can't seem to find the component of 'rain' anywhere. So I'll ask for another clue. Do you appear in UT exclusively?

Lyra Greenleaf · 07-13-2003, 06:08 AM

This sindarin dictionary has rain as "ross", but I don't know how accurate it is.

El as a prefix can mean star, but it's also translated as "Elf", for example Elrohir (Elf knight).

What pleasing alias did Sauron assume to trick the Elves into collaborating with him?

Holbytlass · 09-25-2003, 06:52 AM

Annatar

Evisse the Blue · 09-25-2003, 10:52 AM

That's the one.

Holbytlass · 09-27-2003, 09:23 AM

What is the name of the greatest heirloom of the house of Hador, made by Dwarves? Oh, and also what it is.

Tarien Ithil · 09-28-2003, 12:39 PM

It was the Dragon-helm of Dor-lomin, wasn't it?

Holbytlass · 09-28-2003, 02:28 PM

It was, your go.

Tarien Ithil · 10-01-2003, 11:18 AM

Thanks Hobytlass!

What was the name of the sword of Turin Turambar?

Arestevana · 10-01-2003, 01:27 PM

I believe it was Gurthang, before called Anglachel.

Niluial · 10-01-2003, 04:19 PM

Wasnt it first Gorthol (Dragon-helm) and then was called Mormegil the Black Sword (I’m probably wrong)

Nilly

Tarien Ithil · 10-03-2003, 11:47 AM

Yes, it was Gurthang! Your Go, Arestavana

Oh, and Nil, don't underestimate yourself!! You know more than you think. Turin himself was called Mormegil and so on, but good guess!

Thanks, Tarien.

The name of what character (in Tolkien's works, of course) contains a pun on a modern sport?

Eruanna · 10-22-2003, 03:08 PM

The only one I can think of is Fingolfin.

Arestevana · 10-22-2003, 05:20 PM

Right sport, wrong name. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

NightKnight · 10-23-2003, 12:44 PM

Golfimbul, the orc chieftain leading orcs into the Shire. He was defeated by Bandobras Took.

Arestevana · 10-23-2003, 03:27 PM

Correct, NightKnight, and welcome to the downs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

NightKnight · 10-24-2003, 01:39 PM

What were the names of Fëanor's 7 sons?

[ October 24, 2003: Message edited by: NightKnight ]

Arestevana · 10-24-2003, 03:00 PM

The seven sons of Feanor were Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Curufin, Caranthir, Amrod, and Amras.

NightKnight · 10-25-2003, 05:36 AM

You're right. Your turn.

Arestevana · 10-25-2003, 05:46 AM

What were the names of the Lamps of the Valar?

NightKnight · 10-25-2003, 05:52 AM

I think that one has been asked before, but Illuin and Ormal?

Arestevana · 10-25-2003, 06:02 AM

That is correct.

NightKnight · 10-25-2003, 06:18 AM

What was the name of Aragorn II's son?

Arestevana · 10-25-2003, 01:44 PM

Is anyone else even checking this thread? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Aragorn II's son was Eldarion.

NightKnight · 10-26-2003, 04:10 AM

You're right, please continue.

Arestevana · 10-26-2003, 08:48 AM

What was the name of the first ruling steward of Gondor?

Elentarimir · 10-26-2003, 09:01 AM

Mardil Voronwe.

Arestevana · 10-26-2003, 09:03 AM

Correct.

Elentarimir · 10-26-2003, 09:12 AM

Thanks.

What was the name King Elessar took for his house?

Sleepy Ranger · 10-26-2003, 10:28 AM

King Elessar took "Telecontar" as the name for his house. Which is "Strider" in sindarian I think.

Elentarimir · 10-26-2003, 05:25 PM

Correct Sleepy, your go.

Sleepy Ranger · 10-27-2003, 06:22 AM

Name any four names of Aragorn. I know its easy but I can't think up anything else as I don't have my books and won't get them back for a while.

NightKnight · 10-27-2003, 10:45 AM

Estel, Strider, Wingfoot, Thorongil.

Sleepy Ranger · 10-27-2003, 11:09 AM

Yes those are 4.
Your turn

NightKnight · 10-27-2003, 11:29 AM

What was the name of Pippin's son?

Sleepy Ranger · 10-27-2003, 11:39 AM

Pippin's son? That would be Faramir Took.

NightKnight · 10-27-2003, 11:43 AM

Yup, carry on.

Sleepy Ranger · 10-27-2003, 11:49 AM

What is the name of the Took who was said to have gone to the sea in his youth?
