Because he was then the 'ruler' of the Four Farthings? (I'm guessing)

Yes, the Tooks were not originally Thanes but only gained that office with the removal of the Oldbucks to Buckland. Ask us!

He could have used the extra-terrestrial metals he forged Anguirel and Anglachel from.

Re: OK, new'un

Oh no! By the time he met Idril he was no long permitted to wander outside of her father's realm.

I should have rightly asked of Maeglin instead of Eol.... Eol would hardly have had the chance to make anything for his wife's niece.

I'll ask the question again in its more correct form.

Re: OK, new'un

Yes, looking up an answer is not a shameful deed if no one else can answer a question. In fact, when a question sits unanswered for more than a day it should be answered at all costs... regardless of the burden it will place upon your soul. (j/k ... I really meant the part about it being cool to look up answers after a while ... as far as I'm concerned)

Ok. I`ll ask next. The mine was called Anghabar, BTW.

How would `Maeglin` be translated into English?

Silm: Maeglin

Something like 'gleaming-sharpness'....or the other way around.

Re: Eluchil

Of the fate of Elured and Elurin no tale tells. They probably died after cruel servants of Celegorm seized them and left them to starvei the forest of Doriath.

Eluchil was an alternative name for Dior, Thingol's heir, son of Beren and Luthien.

Can something be done about this? When I opened this thread, the last post was the Eluchil question. I answered it.
This isn't the first time replies haven't been shown! It's becoming a trifle embarrasing.

Re: Elured

Sorry I posted three times ;O. I am not using my normal computer here, and some of the controls are different. It might take some getting used to.

Don't bother about my minor interuption here. Just answer Elured's question.

Re: Elured

Don't mean to go off topic, but Gwaihir are you not in the Western hemisphere? I've heard similar complaints elsewhere, something to do with the international time line.
BTW - Elurin means remembrance of Thingol.

Why was a certain part of Lorien called the Naith?

Re: Elured

`Naith` means wedge, as in the Numenorean military formation `dirnaith`. This part of Lorien was wedge-shaped, hence the name.
