Of the Valar - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Saraphim · 04-08-2004, 11:59 PM

Hello, quiz room addicts! This thread is dedicated to the Valar and thier doings, so have fun! Here's the first question:

Before Arda was created, what did Melkor seek in the Void?

Fingolfin II · 04-09-2004, 01:22 AM

He sought the Imperishable Fire, but couldn't frind it since it was with Eru.

Saraphim · 04-09-2004, 10:39 AM

Right, the thread is yours, Fingolfin II.

Fingolfin II · 04-09-2004, 08:38 PM

Cheers, ok, here's and easy one:

Name the Feanturi.

The Perky Ent · 04-09-2004, 09:21 PM

um...mandos and lorien

Fingolfin II · 04-09-2004, 11:00 PM

Yep.

The Perky Ent · 04-10-2004, 08:11 AM

Yay! OK, new one:

Another easy one: Name the Ithryn in their original spelling.

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-10-2004, 03:21 PM

Alatar and Pallando

Firefoot · 04-10-2004, 07:14 PM

Well, since you said Ithryn and not Ithryn Luin, I will guess Allatar, Pallando, Curumo (or Curunír if you prefer Sindarin), Olorin, and Aiwendil.

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 09:34 AM

Perky? Is Firefoot right?

The Perky Ent · 04-16-2004, 10:20 AM

but of course!

Firefoot · 04-16-2004, 02:30 PM

Alrighty, which of the Valar is also known by the name of Béma?

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 02:31 PM

Oromë?

Firefoot · 04-16-2004, 02:36 PM

That was quick. Your turn.

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 02:38 PM

I try my best.

Who was the sister of the Fëanturi?

Aethelwine · 04-16-2004, 02:44 PM

Why, that's Nienna.

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 02:45 PM

Absolutely.

Aethelwine · 04-16-2004, 02:51 PM

Who's nickname meant 'Queen of the Earth' and what was that nickname?

Always liked that name myself, actually.

Cheers, mates!

Aethelwine.

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 02:52 PM

That would be Yavanna's nickname Kementari.

Aethelwine · 04-16-2004, 02:55 PM

And right you are.

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 03:00 PM

Hmm...

Name three valar that "disappeared" from BoLT -> Silm.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-17-2004, 03:28 AM

That would be Ómar-Amillo, Makar, and Meássë.

Ossë was a Vala in the Lost Tales, but he was demoted in the Silm.

NightKnight · 04-17-2004, 03:48 AM

Excellent, your turn.

Aethelwine · 04-19-2004, 01:25 AM

Nilpaurion ? Where o where are you?

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-20-2004, 02:17 AM

Who was Oromë's sister?

Fingolfin II · 04-20-2004, 02:31 AM

Nessa, wife of Tulkas.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-20-2004, 02:46 AM

Correct, as usual.

Fingolfin II · 04-20-2004, 05:16 AM

It seems like only yesterday we were having so much fun on Familial Ties and Six Degrees.....anway, my question is pretty simple- which Vala "taught" two evil Maiar?

Aethelwine · 04-20-2004, 07:27 AM

Melkor?

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

Maédhros · 04-20-2004, 12:11 PM

Perhaps you are referring to Aulë, because both Sauron and Curumo were in the beginning maiar of Aulë that later turned into evil.

Or Melkor can be an answer because it could be that Melkor instructed some of the maiar that entered into his service. He could have instructed the 7 balrogs perhaps.

Aethelwine · 04-20-2004, 02:38 PM

I agree Maédhros, there are many possibilitys.

We'll just have to wait for Fingolfin, and his answer... *bump*

I'm very impatient, I know...

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

Fingolfin II · 04-21-2004, 02:36 AM

Sorry, I just realised this was pretty ambiguous. Maedhros is correct however with Aule. Sorry Aethelwine.

Aethelwine · 04-21-2004, 03:55 AM

No problem, Fingolfin

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

P.S. Look at the cool new icon! ^_^

Maédhros · 04-21-2004, 07:57 AM

In the earlier legendarium, when the Valar assaulted Melkor, who was the Valar who was about to kneel before Melkor in order to deceive him and take him back to Valinórë?

NightKnight · 04-21-2004, 08:00 AM

Manwë?

Maédhros · 04-21-2004, 09:00 AM

That is correct. Your turn.

NightKnight · 04-22-2004, 01:51 PM

Whose horse was named Nahar?

Firefoot · 04-22-2004, 04:30 PM

Oromë's.

NightKnight · 04-23-2004, 03:53 AM

Indeed.

Firefoot · 04-23-2004, 04:53 AM

Hm, here's a cheap question: name all 14 Valar.
