Yup, your go.

Is there a way to make OR warn me when there comes a question I can answer?

I seem to miss all the easier questions, and not to know the harder ones :sad:

Just click View My Posts and it'll come up in red which ones have posts you haven't read.

Who was/were in charge of the dragons at the Fall of Gondolin?

Amarthadan · **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2011 12:15 am

Gothmog, lord of the balrogs?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2011 8:58 pm

I will give you that. Your turn Amarthadan.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:53 pm

Where's Amarthadan? It's been 6 days since he got it right...

Amarthadan · **Posted:** Thu Dec 15, 2011 4:31 pm

Oops srry guys! Exams and other things.

Turin Turambar got so mad at someone he threw him across the room. Who am I referring too? (vague question to make up for it's relatively easy nature

)

I'm going to guess Mim the petty dwarf but I don't have a clue.

Amarthadan · **Posted:** Sat Dec 17, 2011 12:40 am

I think that's a possibility, but not the person I'm looking for.

Telchar · **Posted:** Sat Dec 17, 2011 7:41 pm

Brodda, the Easterling who married Aerin and turned Morwens life into living hell before she left.

Amarthadan · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2011 11:24 am

Your turn Telchar.

Telchar · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2011 6:29 pm

Easy Question Alert: What was the Elvish name of the Vale of Orthanc? Extra points if you can tell me why it was named thus.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2011 8:06 pm

Nan Curunir or "Saruman's Vale" because it became the chief residence of Saruman the White in the Third Age.

Telchar · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2011 4:06 pm

We have a Winner! Your turn Wayunderthemountain.

Thank you Telchar.

Name all of the Stewards of Gondor who DID NOT use High-Elven names.

Telchar · **Posted:** Tue Dec 20, 2011 7:33 pm

After Mardil Voronwë appendix A states: "His successors ceased to use High-Elven names". All stewards after this are: Mardil, Eradan, Herion, Belegorm, Hurin I, Turin I, Hador, Barahir, Dior, Denethor I, Boromir, Cirion, Hallas, Hurin, Belecthor I, Orodreth, Ecthelion I, Egalmoth, Beren, Beregond, Belecthor II, Thorondir, Turin II, Turgon, Ecthelion II, Denethor II.

However, many of these are named after heroes of the First age. Since I assume those names are Quenya, those that aren't are listed here: Eradan, Herion, Belegorm, Hallas, Egalmoth, Belecthor II, Thorondir (could very well be Quenya as well).

I don't know which you ment, so I put them both up. Quite fun to do actually.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Tue Dec 20, 2011 8:44 pm

So I see. I was specifically referring to your first paragraph (totally forgot about the First Age Heroes and Quenya names) however.... One of the names you listed is wrong and you are missing another.

So close!

Draugluin · **Posted:** Tue Dec 20, 2011 10:47 pm

I REALLY don't feel like looking them all up, otherwise I'd participate in this.

Telchar · **Posted:** Wed Dec 21, 2011 2:39 pm

Ok, second chance: Mardil, Eradan, Herion, Belegorn, Hurin I, Turin I, Hador, Barahir, Dior, Denethor I, Boromir, Cirion, Hallas, Hurin II, Belecthor I, Orodreth, Ecthelion I, Egalmoth, Beren, Beregond, Belecthor II, Thorondir, Turin II, Turgon, Ecthelion II, Denethor II.
