Re: Ok, new trivia

I should have made the question more specific and mentioned that I meant immediately after the Third Kinslaying at the mouths of Sirion.

Anyway, nice one Galpsi, Maglor was the correct answer, over to you.

BTW, I asked on another thread if anyone knew who made the horns of Ulmo and I mentioned that I thought it was a difficult question to answer without referring to the books. Sharku was the only one who responded and was gracious enough to admit that he had to look it up. As an aside, does anyone know the answer?

I can't remember about Ulmo.

What were the long rune-rows of Moria?

Re: Ok, new trivia

I was afraid you meant that screwy Norwegian guy. <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

OK, why were archetypal dwarf-runes so much more linear than the fluid Tengwar script?

Re: Ok, new trivia

Because of the same reason why Germanic runes (Futhark) and the Latin letters are linear, and for example, the Arabian letters fluid: the first were mainly carved in stone, for which purpose linear letters are more appropriate because more force can be put behind a line than a bow. And writing, like the Arabs, with ink on paper or leather, is easier with fluid letters (try writing Futharks per hand and you know what I mean...).

Re: Ok, new trivia

What special alloy (?) did the Elves create out of Mithril, and what would be one thing appearing in the books which was made of it?

btw, galpsi, which screwy Norwegian guy? the maker of the Ardalambion-site? Odin?

Re: Ok, new trivia

Ithildin, the moon-letter stuff from Eregion. They did the Door of Durin in it.

Oh, and by &quot;the screwy Norse&quot; I did mean Helge Kare Fauskanger. Of course I meant screwy in the most reverent way imaginable. But you're not trying to tell me that he also hung on a tree?

Yep, your answer is correct.
And I didn´t think you´d call Odin Norwegian anyway, just kidding.

Re: Ok, new trivia

Hmmm ... not calling a blindfold a 'bind' I'd say:

Pippin and Merry by the Orcs
Frodo by the orcs

Three

Re: Ok, new trivia

Like the horse thing, I didn't have a certain answer in mind. I wasn't sure whether to count Lorien. I accept your distinction as sensible. I can count no other except by analogy, though anther is welcome to come trump Kittle and I by a good answer. Kittle, ask us!

Re: A clue

I've resorted to research. Despite which, I'm probably wrong. The last White Tree before Elessar renewed the Kingdom died at pretty much the same time as the twenty-first Steward, Belecthor II. One supposes that he or his successor, Thorondir, shed the tears.
