Freestyle Trivia! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 05:34 PM

Here we go: freestyle,anything you want to ask, try it, find out if you're really as Tolkienfide as you thought! I know I found out I wasn't! Here's the first one, who stated the quote that is my signature,

Quote:

"'The strongest must seek a way you say? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow -- an Elf.'"

Maybe that's too easy...oh well!

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 05:35 PM

Easy! Legolas, I suppose.

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 05:43 PM

Damn

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 05:45 PM

It was supposed to be easy! Um yeah, yeah, it was! I sware! Anyways, love your pic, can you help me get this going or maybe I should forget about trivia. Maybe I'll trash my topic. Man I'm stupid!

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 05:49 PM

No it was good, I just felt like quoting Bilbo from the Hobbit when he answered the first riddle.
Anyways, .... How was Elwing rescued from death?

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 05:51 PM

Through the power of Ulmo. In the form of a white bird.

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 05:53 PM

Im on chapter 2 of the Silmarillion. It's pathetic. Im sorry but I don't feel any better about my question! Kidding, just kidding! [img]C:\Smith\LordoftheRings\stagedancemice.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 05:54 PM

Very good pio!

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 05:56 PM

Who was the Rider (also called The Hunter)?

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 05:56 PM

I believe that would be Oromë.

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 05:58 PM

The dark, mysterious mounted figure who captured Elves who strayed from Cuivienen! Oh yeh I rock!

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 05:59 PM

Oh man, not again!

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 06:03 PM

He resembled Oromë, but was not him. Possibly doing this to drive a wedge of ill feeling between the Elves and the Vala.

Guess again!

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:03 PM

Gotta go! I'll be back! With a better brain!

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:04 PM

Wait! Did I get closer?

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 06:04 PM

Well then does Durelin have it, or does this Rider have a name?

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:06 PM

Do I? I'm staying!

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 06:07 PM

That is what the rider did - he does have a name.

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:08 PM

Oh! He was "probably Melkor"!!!!

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 06:10 PM

Excellent! I would have accepted either Melkor or 'one of his Dark servants'.

Carry on!

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:13 PM

YES!! Okay,

Who is Camlost?

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 06:13 PM

Beren son of Barahir.

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:17 PM

Cool dude! Next!

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 06:18 PM

Called Camlost (Empty Hand) because he lost both the Silmaril and his right hand holding it to Carcharoth.

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 06:19 PM

What was the first name that Men gave to an Elf an what did it mean?

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 06:32 PM

Did you mean Tinúviel - 'nightingale'?

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:35 PM

Nomin,the Wise!

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:36 PM

Am I right?

Lindolirian · 11-15-2002, 06:36 PM

Durelin has it!

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 06:37 PM

Good, Durelin. I'd forgotten that!

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:41 PM

Oh yeah! Okay,

Where did the men get the name Nomin? Come on, in detail please!

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:46 PM

Think! Or look it up if you want, there's no one to stop you!

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 06:49 PM

From the Sindarin root 'nóm' meaning wisdom. It was the name applied to Finrod by the Edain to whom he gave instruction when they first arrived in Beleriand.

Nómin was the name given the Eldar by the Edain after first contact.

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 06:53 PM

Excellent! NEXT!

Grendel · 11-15-2002, 08:59 PM

From which group of languages did Tolkien draw inspiration for the place-names in the Breeland?

piosenniel · 11-15-2002, 09:20 PM

Celtic, eh?!

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-16-2002, 03:20 AM

I'd say it was some sort of British language... perhaps English, Gaelic of some descript or Anglo-Saxon?

Durelin · 11-16-2002, 09:03 AM

Huh? U people are too smart for me! hehe! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 11-16-2002, 11:59 AM

I just found it! poisenniel, it is Celtic:
Bree = hill
Chet = woods
Combe = small, deep valley

We should wait for confirmation from master Grendel first, though! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
