Nice.......

Beren87 · 02-17-2003, 05:24 PM

Thanks.

How did the trees shine when Melkor left Valinor?

Lindolirian · 02-19-2003, 03:12 PM

They grew darker.

Quote:

Then it seemed to the people of Valinor that the light of the Trees was dimmed, and the shadows of all standing things grew darker and longer in that time.

-Of the Silmarils, the Silmarillion

Beren87 · 02-21-2003, 11:22 PM

Precisely!

Lindolirian · 02-23-2003, 05:14 PM

What is the Dwavish name for the place where Mîm was slain?

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 06:38 PM

That would be Nulukkizdîn.

Lindolirian · 02-23-2003, 07:13 PM

That it would be. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 07:19 PM

Thank you.

Where did the People of Haleth live?

Lindolirian · 02-23-2003, 07:22 PM

Brethil.

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 07:25 PM

Right! Proceed.

Lindolirian · 02-25-2003, 06:25 PM

Galvorn was used to make which two swords?

Pallando B.C · 02-26-2003, 01:56 AM

Eöl was renouned for using the meteoric iron Galvorn, and he made Anglachel and Anguirel

Lindolirian · 02-26-2003, 03:38 PM

Of course.

Pallando B.C · 02-27-2003, 04:13 AM

Name the three mariners who accompanied Eärendil on his vogages.

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 04:52 AM

They were Falathar, Erellont and Aerandir according to my translated Silm.

Pallando B.C · 02-27-2003, 04:55 AM

Yes!

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 02:56 AM

Oh good! I had my doubts about the spelling 'cause for example the name of Lalaith was twisted as Lailath! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

So, what is the connection between the Hunting of the Wolf and river Esgalduin?

Estanesse · 03-01-2003, 01:59 PM

That is the place were the hunt for Carcharoth came to an end

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 02:18 PM

Yes, you're right on that but I was looking for something in the line of cause and effect... Can you find it?
And btw. welcome to the Downs, Estanesse!
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-01-2003, 03:10 PM

Oke I will try again

The hunters were following the course of the river Esgalduin.
In a dark valley they found him drinking [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 03:20 PM

Nope, still not it! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I show no mercy to you although you're newly deceased. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Look a few lines further in your Silm...

Estanesse · 03-01-2003, 04:19 PM

I hope this is the correct answer

because Carcharoth the Wolf trunk drunk from the river Esgalduin his pain eased and the hunters (Thingol and company) became the hunted?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-01-2003, 04:32 PM

Ok, I give up on you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I was looking for that part where Huan and Carcharoth were fighting and the ground shook so that the rocks blocked the falls of Esgalduin.
But you were so close that you may continue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

To who was the hiding place of barahir revealed?
[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Turambar · 03-02-2003, 08:46 AM

Sauron?

Estanesse · 03-02-2003, 09:42 AM

Right. Proceed

Legolas · 03-17-2003, 05:06 PM

To restart this thread:

Who was Fingolfin's wife?

Pallando B.C · 03-17-2003, 07:15 PM

Quote:

The wife of Fingolfin was Anaire. She remained on Aman mainly due to her friendship with Earwen. All her sons went with her father.

This was my answer to the question you asked me on this thread back in Nov, 2002. You must be interested in Anaire. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Legolas · 03-17-2003, 08:45 PM

rofl

I have a tendency to reuse questions. I'll think of a new one. She's just left out of The Silmarillion so folks have to dig a little deeper.

Name all of the sisters of Fingolfin that Tolkien went through.

[ March 17, 2003: Message edited by: Legolas ]

Pallando B.C · 03-17-2003, 10:12 PM

Findis, Faniel, and Írimë were the sisters, I hope!

Legolas · 03-17-2003, 10:24 PM

That's it! Good work.

Pallando B.C · 03-18-2003, 07:14 PM

Thank You.

Name the lament made by Maglor.

Beren87 · 03-19-2003, 05:11 PM

The Noldolantë?

Pallando B.C · 03-19-2003, 06:22 PM

Good to see you back Beren. Your Turn.

Beren87 · 03-20-2003, 03:08 PM

Thanks Pallando! and wow, that was a complete guess as that was the only work I knew by Maglor.

Where did Galadriel dwell with Finrod early in her stay in ME?

Ultimatejoe · 03-20-2003, 03:37 PM

Minas Tirith?

elven maiden Earwen · 03-22-2003, 11:34 PM

Doraith??
or
Hithlum??

elven maiden Earwen · 03-23-2003, 02:24 PM

Pallando B.C · 04-02-2003, 05:22 PM

With the sudden urge to ressurect old threads sweaping across people on the Downs, we start to lose really good threads such as this one. Beren's confirmation is required on this one, which is odd, because Beren is very good at keeping commitments to threads, but I think we can forgive ol' Dry Bones for this one.

Ok, a question. What was Ondolindë the original name for?

Eruanna · 04-05-2003, 05:18 PM

It was the original Quenya name for Gondolin.
