[Last Child of Ungoliant]

[Elemmírë]

i will pass this on to lemmy, seeing as she seems to be finished with spring break ;)

oh lemmy, your turn...:p

You passed a question to me without telling me!? :eek:

Hmmm.

What did Aredhel name her son?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Lomion, which is Child of the Twilight

[Elemmírë]

Correct, TD. Your turn! :)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

TD has asked me to take this as he is away for the week, so an easy one, just to pass it along, Maeglin was lomion's name given to him by his father Eol, but what does maeglin signify?

[Falagar]

Maeg is 'sharp' while lin, I think, can mean a number of things (often connected to song/singing, for example, but Maeglin didn't really sing a lot :p). It may also be glin, which means gleam, glint...'Sharp-glint'?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Maeg is 'sharp' while lin, I think, can mean a number of things (often connected to song/singing, for example, but Maeglin didn't really sing a lot :p). It may also be glin, which means gleam, glint...'Sharp-glint'?
sharp is correct

[Falagar]

Sharp-glance then (not that big a difference ;)).

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Sharp-glance then (not that big a difference ;)).
yes indeed

[Falagar]

Where did Ëarnil win a crushing victory against an invading Haradrim-army?

[Radagast The Brown]

Pelarigr?

[Falagar]

Not Pelargir, meant Ëarnil II. Sorry 'bout that. :\

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

South Ithillien?

[Falagar]

Yep. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

At what age did Eol give Maeglin his name?

[Radagast The Brown]

Age of Maeglin, right? 9?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

.12.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yeah it was Maeglin RTB. Chrys you're correct.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

what is the sindarin name for Tumunzahar?

[Radagast The Brown]

Nogrod?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

indeed

[Radagast The Brown]

It was obviously a dwarvish name, I wasn't sure if it's Belegost or Nogrod. :)

What form did Sauron take after he lost to Huan and went to Taur-nu-Fuin?

[Lotesse]

How come no one's answering the question? 'Till tomorrow, I'm exempt from the Sil because I've only just started reading it and then left my book at home last week while I've been out of town. Just tryna keep the torch going, as they say. Tryna keep the trivia breathing.

[Lotesse]

A wolf?

[Radagast The Brown]

After.... so, no. That's how he started the fight..

[Lotesse]

Did he go form-less and then become The Necromancer?

[Radagast The Brown]

No, not Necromancer. What's exactl ythe form of a necromancer?

[Falagar]

Vampire/Bat?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yeah, Falagar... it's you then. :)

[Falagar]

Wasn't entirely sure on that one.

What name of Laurelin signifies "Yellow Three"?

[Lotesse]

It's been since July 15th, and still no one has even ventured a guess, here. I can't figure it out, either. What to do? :confused:

[Earniel]

Malinalda.

[rohirrim TR]

I don't speak elvish, what's malinalda mean? or are you guessing the trivia question?

[Earniel]

'Alda' means tree, 'mal' means, I believe, 'yellow' or 'golden'. It is the only name for Laurelin that I remember that comes close to the description 'yellow tree' so yes, I'm guessing. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

I think you're right Earniel, so why don't you post the next question?

[Earniel]

I'll check my answer and come back with a question.

[Earniel]

I can't find any other name in the Silmarillion that seems to match, so I think I can assume I guessed correctly.

New question: What are the two names of Fëanor's mother?

[Lotesse]

Miriel Serinde, no?

[Earniel]

Indeed, your turn. :)

[Rían]

(and some über-trivia - MÃ*riel Þerindë )

(courtesy of The Shibboleth of Fëanor, from HoME 12, The Peoples of Middle Earth)

[Rían]

(I thought the answer was "Honey" and "Mom" ;) )

[Lotesse]

(I thought the answer was "Honey" and "Mom" ;) )

Lol!! :D Hey Rian, can you do me a big favour today and post a Sil trivia question 4 me? I don't have my book with me, so I'm clueless as to what to post for you all. :) If you don't want to, maybe Earniel could? Thanx you guys!

[Rían]

Sure! Got my Sil right here :)

hang on ...

[Rían]

ok - what were the stairs made of, in Tirion upon *cringe* Túna?

[Earniel]

*looks left, looks right*

Bump!

Marble?

[Rían]

*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* wha? huh?

*reads post*

No...

[Arien the Maia]

crystal?

[Rían]

Yes!

Your go :)

[Arien the Maia]

hmmm...ok, who was Feanor's favorite son and why?

[Arien the Maia]

*bump*

it's been 2 months! come on guys! this one isn't that hard!

[Radagast The Brown]

Curufin? Can't remember the 'why' part. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Because he reminded him of himself as he was a good craftsman aswell.

[Arien the Maia]

Yes, you both got part of the answer correct...either one gets to go next :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

You go Rad. I don't have the book handy.

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh, I was just going to tell you to go. :p

alright.. Who, of the Ainur, established Numenor? (Numenore?)

[durinsbane2244]

i'm gonna take a stab here and say manwe or aule...or i could just walk upstairs...nah...manwe or aule....

[Arien the Maia]

was it Eonwe? :confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

It's more than one of them, 3 Ainur made Numenor. :) Aule is one of them.

[durinsbane2244]

rad, i hate to break it to you, but if you look in the text, it says specifically that aule "established" numenor, but i guess you meant all three anyway, so aule, manwe, and ulmo...

[Radagast The Brown]

I seee. I actually had a probelm in translating the word. I meant something else; I checked now online and it does say specifically that Aule established it, (so I was very wrong! sorry).
I was talking about - "it was raised by Osse out of the depths of the great Water, and it was established by Aule and enriched by Yavanna".

(note again that I haven't looked at the English text when I posted the question)

So I suppose it's your turn durinsbane...

[durinsbane2244]

yes, i come in here all high and mighty, correct you, and then give wrong names.... :D ...sigh....hmmmm....hmmmm.....who was the greatest of the high elven kings, who succeeded him, and who succeeded him?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

stab in the dark: feanor finarfin fingolfin

[durinsbane2244]

nah, i don't believe feanor was the king at any given point [leastaways, not accepted king] and, though he was great, he was far from the greatest....whole, turning from vala, revolting, and kinslaying-due-to-obsession-with-jewel thing...

[Arien the Maia]

fingolfin, fingon, turgon ???

p.s. I'll pretend I didn't hear that obvious Feanor rejecting durinsbane! ;) :D

[durinsbane2244]

oh no! i love feanor! he rocked! but he just was kinda corrupted...but i loved him! nonetheless, indeed! good call maia! your go arien, and fingolfin rocks too! seven wounds the melkor and a limp to boot!

[Arien the Maia]

oh no! i love feanor! he rocked! but he just was kinda corrupted...but i loved him! nonetheless, indeed! good call maia! your go arien, and fingolfin rocks too! seven wounds the melkor and a limp to boot!

well , good thing we cleared that up! :D

hmmm...What was the metal that Eol used to forge Turin's sword with called?

[durinsbane2244]

hmmm...well, it was iron from a fallen star...and i just gave the Sil back to me friend...sigh...

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

galvorn

[Arien the Maia]

galvorn

yep your turn

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

ok, an easy question cos the game has been movin too slowly recently - what was the name of fingolfin's sword that he hewed at the foot of morgoth with?

[durinsbane2244]

can we get a hint?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

it begins with an R

so much for my "easy" question!! :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Ringil.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

yes, ringil it was, your go TD!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What was the elven name for the Eagles Cleft?

[Eönwë]

Crissaegrim, I believe.

- Eönwë

[durinsbane2244]

Come Telcontar! Grace Us With An Affirmative!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Sorry fot the long delay. I completley forgot. No, sorry, that is not correct.

[durinsbane2244]

NOOOOOOO!!!! this is gonna take forever!

[Radagast The Brown]

Cirith Thoronath?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct Rad. Your go.

[Radagast The Brown]

How many times did Hurin call "Aure entuluva" in Nirnaeth Arnoediad before he was captured alive?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Seventy

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct... your turn TD.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Where did the men of the house of Hador stand and give way no longer?

[Radagast The Brown]

Errr.... what? :p the Fens of Serech in Nirnaeth Arnoediad, maybe?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct.

[Radagast The Brown]

How many times could Huan talk?

[Count Comfect]

Twice?

[durinsbane2244]

thrice?

[Radagast The Brown]

Three times is correct. Your turn durinsbane.. :)

[durinsbane2244]

well, a tad late, but still here...
how does hurin die? [i know it's simple, but i am a tad stressed]

[durinsbane2244]

anyone? anyone at all?

[Earniel]

Threw himself in sea, wasn't it?

[durinsbane2244]

right you are, good sir!

[Earniel]

To whom did Luthien's disguise in which she entered Morgoth's stronghold, belong to?

[jammi567]

thuringwethil. Who was elrond's great great aunt? :evil:

[Earniel]

*counts on fingers and thinks hard*

Aredhel?

[jammi567]

no :evil: :rolleyes:

[jammi567]

three days and no new posts.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It would be Aredhel wouldn't it?

[jammi567]

i've already said it wasn't her :rolleyes:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Morwen?

[jammi567]

no!! :evil:

[Radagast The Brown]

Earwen?

[jammi567]

no!! :evil:. do you want to give up yet?

[Radagast The Brown]

Earwen is the great great aunt though. :p She married Finarfin, brother of Fingolfin, father of Turgon, father of Idril, mother of Earendil, father of Elrond!!!

[jammi567]

no, the answer's Galadrial. looking at the family trees, Earwen a great, great, great aunt of Elrond, not a great, great aunt? anyway, it's your go now.

[Radagast The Brown]

Well...ok then, but i was thinking of Galadrial. looking at the family trees, isn't Earwen a great, great, great aunt of Elrond, not a great, great aunt? anyway, it's your go now.Riiight.:) I initially thought so, but you said 'no' to both Aredhel and Morwen, so I assumed you meant the aunt of the great grandfather. :p (or sister of the great great grandfather)

Aredhel is the sister of the great grandfather though, which would make her great great aunt, no? :confused:

And isn't Galadriel the daughter of Earwen?

Hmmm... I think Aredhel is the right answer, no? So it should be Earniel's turn. What do you think jammi?

[jammi567]

to tell you the truth, i didn't know about Aredhel at all. so i think Earniel should have the next turn.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It is Aredhel, I think, so Earniel should go.

[Earniel]

I'm confused, since Elrond married Celebrian, Galadriel's daughter, that would make Galadriel his mother-in-law, not his great something auntie?

Confusing elf lineages...

Anyway... next question... Darn, no book near by, this will have to be by memory...

What was the name of the tree in which Lúthien was locked for safe-keeping by Thingol?

[jammi567]

that's true, but Elrond was son of Earendil, son of Idril, daughter of Turgon, son of Fingolfin, brother to...oh wait, can a elven daughter of a elven brother be an aunt to someone many decendents down (ie. Elrond). :confused: :confused:

[jammi567]

is anyone going to answer the question or what?

[jammi567]

looks like it's upto me. is the answer Hirilorn.

[Earniel]

Indeed it is. Your turn.

[jammi567]

where did Amrod and Amras rule.

[jammi567]

anyone.

[jammi567]

anyone else, or is it time for a new question.

[NelyafinweMaitimo]

Amrod and Amras ruled in East Beleriand, between the rivers Aros and Gelion.

Who confirmed the words of Glaurung to Turin, exposing Niniel Nienor as Hurin's daughter? What did Turin call this man that provoked him?
