Okay. So it's my turn. (This'll puzzle the nasty little underground creature.

)

Linnod is:

A) a place
B) a literary term
C) a military term
D) none of the above

Nerwen · 02-06-2008, 08:24 AM

Unfortunately, I am not a nasty little underground creature.

It is B) a literary term.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-06-2008, 08:27 AM

Well, I would rather call it fortunate, but if you insist

Of course, your turn.

Nerwen · 02-06-2008, 09:30 AM

C it is!

Over to you.

Thinlómien · 02-08-2008, 06:10 PM

Yes, I'm lurking around this thread at times, but you two are impossible: most of the time you're too quick and when you aren't, you're too difficult.

Salmar is/are

A) a group of Falathrim
B) a maia serving Ulmo
C) an Elven smith
D) trees growing in Lórien of Valinor

Nerwen · 02-08-2008, 06:21 PM

Anyhow, your turn.

Manwathiel · 02-11-2008, 12:03 PM

yay! Ok, an easy one

What is the main difference between Olog-hai and Stone trolls?
Just the most obvious difference

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-11-2008, 12:34 PM

Olog-hai do not turn into stone in the sun.

Manwathiel · 02-11-2008, 02:19 PM

correct!
Over to you...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-11-2008, 03:44 PM

Thank you. But to be precise, the rules of the game on this particular thread are somewhat different - you can read them in the first post of this thread, or you can look what the questions posted here look like.

Anyway, here goes another.

Eämbar was:
A) A ship from Númenor
B) A land in Beleriand
C) A type of poem
D) An elven name for the Encircling Sea

Thinlómien · 02-11-2008, 03:51 PM

A)?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-11-2008, 03:56 PM

Indeed. It was the ship of Aldarion's guild.

What are you doing here now?

Anyway, your thread

Thinlómien · 02-12-2008, 02:48 AM

Obviously, I was answering your question.

Unferth is the name of
A) a Rohir warrior
B) a companion of Ælfwine's
C) a kinsman of Uldor's
D) no one in Tolkien's universe

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-12-2008, 04:23 AM

*sigh*

Anyway, I think the answer is D). I am pretty sure what it is not and about the rest I have no idea and probably no way to discover it, either.

Yes, it is D. Handy hint for question-creating: if you can't think of anything you could ask, invent something that does not exist.

Anyway, your thread.

Nerwen · 02-12-2008, 05:32 AM

Legate, for the record: Unferth is a character in Beowulf. That was a very sneaky question.

And, erm, for the record, I knew the name was from somewhere but I couldn't have told you it was from Beowulf...

An useful piece of advice. Hope I'm not going to need it soon...

Not that sneaky; unless he was a companion of Ælfwine, it was clear it isn't any of the remaining ones.

Why the red face?

You are not here to provide information, but to ask questions (or answer them, for that matter).

All right, a new one:

Yavannamírë is:
A) A name of an artifact
B) A name of a tree
C) A name of a month
D) A nonsense I made up

Thinlómien · 02-12-2008, 06:31 AM

No, no, it doesn't work that way.

I'm a bit torn between two options.

But it is B) a tree, isn't it?

Yes, it is

Which was the other one, by the way?

Thinlómien · 02-29-2008, 04:42 AM

Aieeeeeeeeee, I totally forgot about this thread. Anyway, let's continue.

Anardil was
a) a king of Gondor
b) a steward of Gondor
c) Elendil's kinsman
d) the name of Anárion in Tolkien's early scripts

PS.

The month one. I think I should learn all the Elvish month and day names just for Quiz Room...

Nerwen · 02-29-2008, 05:05 AM

a) a king of Gondor

Thinlómien · 02-29-2008, 07:39 AM

Yes, exactly.

Nerwen · 03-04-2008, 08:10 AM

Mereth Aderthad was

A) A mountain.
B) An Elven celebration.
C) An Elven greeting.
D) A plain.

Thinlómien · 03-04-2008, 08:25 AM

B.

Even though it does sound like a greeting.

Nerwen · 03-04-2008, 08:57 AM

Can't fool you, can I? (Well, not this time, anyway. *cough* firefly-balrogs *cough*)

Over to you.

I see I should never have admitted partly falling for it and you should never have won the ww game, just look at what's it doing to you...

Seriously though, it was not difficult to know that, especially after having played a character whose mother's name was Merethiel and having planned a fan-ficish thing that was very closely related to the feast...

Anyway, back to the topic...

Ladros was:
A) a region in Dorthonion
B) Brandir's kinsman
C) Saeros's father
D) a river in south-western Beleriand

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-05-2008, 02:06 PM

A), of course, as everyone knows.
