Finaly you got it!

Gethron it was. . .I chose Gethron over Grithnir, because Grithnir sounds like Glitnir an Icelandic bank for whom I did some very dull work. Well, not for them, but for some of their supliers.

What was the Titel of the part of Narn Hin Hurin in which you found their names?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 04:44 PM

the departure of Turin...why?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 12-30-2006, 04:50 PM

well I told you that they where travel companions. . . and the Danish is called "Turins afrejse" so I figured the German would be called "Turins abreise" (reise and rejse meaning travel)

You are German, right?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 04:55 PM

not really
I am a Romanian, living in Germany, and all my books are in English
I like English to German when it comes to Tolkien, because it's the original, just as he wrote it

anyway...to keep it similar, but clearly easier

a companion of Thror

Valier · 01-02-2007, 10:42 AM

Thorin?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 10:46 AM

nope...

Valier · 01-02-2007, 10:51 AM

Thrain?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 10:52 AM

nope (fortunately for you Tolkien didn't name so many Dwarves

)

Valier · 01-02-2007, 11:00 AM

Borin?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 11:04 AM

not Borin either...
I thought the answer was pretty easy, it's a pretty well known story

Valier · 01-02-2007, 11:13 AM

Nar?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 11:15 AM

Congrats

btw it was with Nar that Thror travelled to Moria. There he was killed by Azog, and after the Orc branded his name in Thror's head he sent Nar back to the Dwarves to give them the message that any other Dwarves that would come to Moria would also suffer that fate

Valier · 01-02-2007, 11:18 AM

YAY!!!!!!! Ok welll

Who was told he could not have two wives by his Father?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 11:26 AM

Aldarion maybe

I remember Erendis telling him he was wedded to the Sea as well...so that makes sense

Valier · 01-02-2007, 11:27 AM

Good job!! The thread is again yours Might.

The Might · 01-02-2007, 11:31 AM

wow...I'm...surprised to say the least
I haven't read that part of the UT for a long time

anyway...at whose passing do birds start to sing and flowers open ?

Valier · 01-02-2007, 11:37 AM

Vana the ever young?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 11:45 AM

Vana it is

Valier · 01-02-2007, 11:54 AM

Who led the woman and children of the house of Beor from Dorthonion?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 12:09 PM

Emeldir

Valier · 01-02-2007, 12:17 PM

Correct indeed!!

The Might · 01-02-2007, 12:26 PM

two members of the Baggins family had the same name as well...what was it?

Valier · 01-02-2007, 12:29 PM

Ponto?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 12:30 PM

quick and correct

Valier · 01-02-2007, 12:32 PM

What was the name given to Turin by Finduilas and what is it's translation?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 12:36 PM

Thurin (the secret)
pretty close to the truth

Valier · 01-02-2007, 12:37 PM

Indeed

The Might · 01-02-2007, 12:41 PM

Who was the strongest of the Elves of Gondolin ?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-02-2007, 12:51 PM

Ecthelion?

The Might · 01-02-2007, 01:00 PM

nope

Anguirel · 01-02-2007, 01:07 PM

Rog, I'm fairly certain...

The Might · 01-02-2007, 01:34 PM

Rog it is

Beleg Cuthalion · 01-17-2007, 07:23 PM

10 Rule... ROCK THE THREAD!!! Who had a tombstone made out of black rock?

Shards of Narsil · 01-18-2007, 08:42 AM

New to Barrow-Downs... been watching for a while and now decided to jump in.

It was Elendil I believe.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-18-2007, 08:59 AM

Hello Shards of Narsil, you are right Elendil it is.

The Might · 01-28-2007, 02:26 PM

10 days...so here is a new one:

Two people that had the same name and were born 536 years apart.

Elmo · 01-28-2007, 02:33 PM

Was it Boromir the steward and Boromir of the nine walkers?

The Might · 01-28-2007, 02:46 PM

Well, yes, but not born 536 years apart

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-28-2007, 04:13 PM

Just one question. Would you let me take the thread if I tell you more than 40 persons who I surely know are not the right answer?

I just spent a lot of time in the books with a calculator, and I really didn't happen to find anyone who would fit this.

I guess it's a lot harder than it seems, eh?
