Who captured Aredhel in the forest and what is the name of their son?

Lómelindi · 06-05-2002, 07:28 PM

Aredhel was captured by Eöl, and bore him Maeglin, their son.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-05-2002, 07:34 PM

Good ob, Lomelindi! This is kind of harder: what is the name of the wizard that turned Rover into a toy?

Lómelindi · 06-05-2002, 08:45 PM

Artaxerxes, a passing wizard whom Rover annoyed.

(I read Roverandom and loved it, and you don't easily forget a name like "Artaxerxes.")

Arwen Imladris · 06-06-2002, 03:19 PM

Whoooo Hooooo! I read Roverandom too! I didn't think that like, anyone else did! Cool! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-06-2002, 03:24 PM

That's why I said it was hard: I thought no one would have read it.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-06-2002, 03:34 PM

New question: What is the name of the story in which a boy swallows a star that allows him to travel to Valinor? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

akhtene · 06-06-2002, 05:51 PM

Smith of Wootton Major ???

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-06-2002, 07:51 PM

Correct! Your turn.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-11-2002, 07:59 PM

What does Maeglin's name mean?

Lómelindi · 06-11-2002, 09:53 PM

It means "Sharp Glance.

Lómelindi · 06-11-2002, 09:55 PM

It means "Sharp Glance.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-15-2002, 11:29 AM

That's correct.

Lómelindi · 06-15-2002, 07:34 PM

Cool. Here's one:

What is Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck's formal/other name?

Elenya · 06-16-2002, 02:51 PM

Well, Meriadoc has a translation from the Red Book that means the same thing: Kalimac. I don't think I right, though. The Rohirrim called him Holdwine.

Joy · 06-16-2002, 03:39 PM

Meriadoc Brandybuck's real name was Kalimac Brandagamba.

Lómelindi · 06-16-2002, 05:25 PM

Joy's got it.

(I didn't think it was possible for there to be an odder hobbit name than Meriadoc Brandybuck, but there it is…poor guy, he's got to have both of the weirdest names.)

Elenya · 06-16-2002, 08:30 PM

I think it's a fairly interesting name. Besides, you have to admit that it's better than Fatty Bolger!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Joy · 06-16-2002, 10:32 PM

Okay, can you give me 5 of Varda's 7 names?

Lindolirian · 06-17-2002, 12:31 PM

Varda, Elbereth, Star Kindler, Queen of the Stars, Gilthoniel, Elentari, Tintalle.

Arwen Imladris · 06-26-2002, 03:18 PM

Well Joy? Is Lindolirian correct?

They look correct to me (but that doesn't meen much) you could probebly just ask.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 06-26-2002, 08:47 PM

I think Lindolirian is correct.

Lindolirian · 06-26-2002, 09:34 PM

Ok I'll either assume I'm correct or i'll just post cause its more than a week .. either way..... here i go.

How long is Iavas and between what modern dates does it occur?

Lómelindi · 06-26-2002, 11:01 PM

Iavas is 54 days long and falls between August 12 and October 4 (our calendar, of course). It is the season of late summer through about mid-autumn.

Joy · 06-26-2002, 11:04 PM

Lindo is correct. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Lindolirian · 06-28-2002, 12:15 AM

There ya are Lomelindi...... ur turn.

Lómelindi · 06-28-2002, 11:45 AM

Which sword was made of the same metal as Anglachel?

Daniel Telcontar · 06-28-2002, 11:54 AM

Anguirel and Anglachel were made by Eöl, who made them of some meteor iron he found one day.

Lómelindi · 06-28-2002, 12:59 PM

Yep, metal-scouring at its finest. Your go.

Daniel Telcontar · 06-28-2002, 01:02 PM

Why did Fingolfin and his army cross the Helcaraxe?

akhtene · 06-28-2002, 03:09 PM

They had to, after Feanor deserted them taking all Telleri ships. The only way then to Middle Earth was by crossing the ice of Helcaraxe

Daniel Telcontar · 06-28-2002, 03:16 PM

You are right, but you probably knew. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/biglaugh.gif continue, please.

akhtene · 06-29-2002, 02:55 PM

Of couse I did.

What device was on Aragorn's sword Anduril?

akhtene · 07-02-2002, 04:18 PM

Is it so very difficult? Look in the chapter "The Ring Goes South"

Lómelindi · 07-02-2002, 08:51 PM

A device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun.

akhtene · 07-02-2002, 08:55 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] !!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Your turn.

Lómelindi · 07-03-2002, 10:37 AM

After what was Elwing named?

Ruthwen · 07-03-2002, 12:05 PM

She was named after Lanthir Lamath, the waterfall.

Lómelindi · 07-03-2002, 01:03 PM

[img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Correctamundo. Your turn.

Ruthwen · 07-04-2002, 07:18 AM

Hmmm, I wonder if this one is too hard, since no one replied on the other one... well, never mind.

What did the people of Middle-earth call Vingilot when they first saw it, and what did that name mean?

If no one answers in two days, another random person can ask a question.
