Right. :)

Ah, good guess! :)

According to Frodo, Rivendell has something of everything except for what?

nessa

"Yes, something of everything, Sam, except the sea".

cassiopeia
09-14-2003, 10:28 PM
The sea is correct. Your go!

Who/what sang: "Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Arnor...", and why?

LutraMage
09-15-2003, 06:01 PM
I'M BACK!

A great eagle flying out of the East sang the song beginning "Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Arnor..." to let the people of Minas Tirith know that the Lords of the West had triumphed over Sauron (as if the lightness of their hearts had not already told them :rolleyes: ).

nessa
09-16-2003, 05:01 PM
You're right, LutraMage. Your turn.

nessa
09-21-2003, 01:03 PM
Simple one to bump the thread. What was the name of Theoden's horse?

Laurelindórenan
09-21-2003, 02:24 PM
Snowmane?

nessa
09-21-2003, 03:03 PM
You are right Laurelindorenan. Over to you.

Radagast The Brown
10-09-2003, 04:00 PM
Where is Laurelindórenan?

Spock
10-09-2003, 06:20 PM
Wow, thought we'd all disappeared. R. you're as solid as Treebeard who, I believe, called Lauren by that name, Lothlorein, home of Galadriel.
Now even if I'm right (hope a hope a) I'm living with everything packed and stacked around so I can't even find my books to come up with a really good question. But then, I may be wrong and have stated this for naught.

...it's been too long since I talked to real people...:D

Radagast The Brown
10-10-2003, 07:42 AM
Ehmmmm... No, no, no, no... I meant, where is the person that calls himself Laurelindórenan?

Bridgette
10-10-2003, 08:03 AM
HIMself? :eek: Laurelindórenan?

I can't even remember who that is (but since I posted that rubbish ^ I suppose I had better stick on topic), so i shall guess....... Rivendell (nice elvish place).

Radagast The Brown
10-10-2003, 08:20 AM
The preson on entmoot with the name Laurelindorenan, and answered correctly on the last question!

Spock
10-10-2003, 10:31 AM
PM him/her/it R.:D

I wasn't aware you where talking about a person on entmoot, and i thought it was a trivia question. Sorry. (I swear its not my fault I'm stupid... its genetic! :D )

Radagast The Brown
10-10-2003, 04:37 PM
:p

I think somebody should volunteer to ask the next question. I don't think we should wait more longer.

Spock
10-10-2003, 04:57 PM
I AGREE and nominate R.T.B. to do the questioning.;)

Radagast The Brown
10-10-2003, 05:05 PM
I resent that! ;)

*sigh* ok... ROTK, right? hmmm... Who was Freca? (Freka)

Spock
10-10-2003, 06:51 PM
Of course we all remember "my friend Freka".:D :D

Lizra
10-10-2003, 07:12 PM
Geez...who indeed! :eek: It's in my complete guide to ME, but using that would make me a boring cheater! :D I still want to know how many times the darkening of the sky is mentioned! :rolleyes: It's Friday night...so ignore me! ;)

Spock
10-11-2003, 08:58 AM
I don't think this is a fair question although it is one to ponder. You'd have to read the entire book or have it as an E-Book and use the "find" function in order to answer it.

We're more into conventional type questions that can be answered by finding a quote or location or an invisible rabbit.:D

It's Saturday morning and dismal.

Radagast The Brown
10-11-2003, 09:03 AM
Ok, here's a new question:
What was Elrond wearing in the Grey Havens?

Cirdan
10-11-2003, 09:34 AM
So who was Freka? Was it one of the ponies?

Ummm, A tunic by CK?

My real guess, (and it is just that) is that Elrond wore blue robes and his crown of stars.

Radagast The Brown
10-11-2003, 09:40 AM
He didn't wear blue robes.

Freka is someone from Rohank, from Dun.

The mightiest of the three

Radagast The Brown
10-12-2003, 05:10 PM
I mean what clothes.

The Gaffer
10-12-2003, 05:16 PM
Ah, well, something smart but casual I'd've thought. Beats me.

Lizra
10-12-2003, 06:14 PM
Freca....Man of mixed Rohirric and Dunlending blood, father of of Wulf. Freca was very rich and powerful and had much land near the Adorn. King Helm distrusted him, and after Freca insulted the king for refusing an offer to marry his daughter to Wulf, Helm slew him.

From "The Complete Guide to middle Earth".

Radagast The Brown
10-12-2003, 06:16 PM
Very well, but too late. :p That's not the current question.

kiwi52291
10-12-2003, 06:33 PM
Elrond was wearing grey.

Spock
10-12-2003, 08:09 PM
I don't see Freca in the book (story) anywhere?:confused:

I presume it's in the Appendices.

Radagast The Brown
10-13-2003, 07:58 AM
kiwi is right.

Freca is in the appendixes, so you can't find him in the index, nor in the book.

Spock
10-13-2003, 09:31 AM
RTB I'm surprised at you. No questions are allowed that are not from the story. No index, no appendix and no bloody NCC-1701 B-C-D. :D

And, I changed the question afterwards anyway.

OK my question is:

At what time of day did Eomer first see Aragorn during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields?

PippinTook
10-15-2003, 01:21 AM
umm, the third hour? is that right?

kiwi52291
10-15-2003, 01:45 AM
no...

Radagast The Brown
10-15-2003, 06:01 AM
In the middle of the morning?

kiwi52291
10-15-2003, 05:24 PM
not then either...

Lizra
10-15-2003, 06:46 PM
The ships were sighted in mid morning, as Radagast said, then they met, and fought till sunset.

Radagast The Brown
10-15-2003, 06:48 PM
Exactly.

kiwi52291
10-19-2003, 01:04 PM
Sorry, you're right.:o

There is more two names for Fornost. Name one of them.

I'm sure you meant ..."there ARE two names...."
but as I am still living out of boxes piled high and no clue to where my books are, I'll leave it at that. :D

bug I have a good excuse! :p I first did a question with 'is'. Then, when I changed it, I forgot to change the is to are.

Valandil is right.

Valandil
10-21-2003, 12:01 PM
OK - who can tell me the fate of Halbarad?

Radagast The Brown
10-21-2003, 04:13 PM
He was killed in the battle of Pelenor fields?

Valandil
10-21-2003, 04:42 PM
sadly:( ... yes:D :cool:

take it away...

Radagast The Brown
10-21-2003, 05:07 PM
Who was Grimbold and when was he killed?

Valandil
10-21-2003, 05:10 PM
I'm CERTAIN he was a rider of the Rohirrim...

I THINK he was Theoden's herald/flagbearer and died on the Pelennor Fields - just a bit before Theodon...

Radagast The Brown
10-22-2003, 09:08 AM
You're not exactly right - he was a commander in Rohan, and was killed in the Pelennor Fields.

Your turn.

Valandil
10-22-2003, 10:10 AM
Oh... you're GIVIN' me that one?:D Thanks!

I know some protest against appendix questions (but where else could we put them?). This will obviously be one - but I'll make it easy by doing multiple-choice. In return I ask that nobody look it up:

You may remember that when "Thorongil" (Aragorn) left Gondor, that Ecthelion was still the Steward there, not Denethor. What was the state of Denethor's "family life" at that time...

A. Still single?
B. Married, no children?
C. Married, father of Boromir?
D. Married, father of Boromir and Farmamir?
E. Widower, single father of Boromir and Faramir?

Spock
10-22-2003, 10:42 AM
I know some protest against appendix questions [/B][/QUOTE]

It's not that we protest, the guidelines were set down ages ago not to allow the appendix or index for questions only the story.
:(

Valandil
10-22-2003, 10:50 AM
Sorry - I claim newbie ignorance :D (and complete, utter unwillingness to re-read all 28 pages of previous posts). If nobody can answer this correctly within 3 hours of THIS post, I withdraw the question and it's an all-comers game.

Logical?:p Acceptable?

PS: Five guessers would get it real quick!

(and please note - I DID scan the first page or two and saw no mention of that provision!):)

Spock
10-22-2003, 11:32 AM
Most logical and always acceptable. Not to worry we're not ogres, well not most of the time anyway.:D

Some of these things get lost in the ether so I just passed on the information to help you before rotten pumpkins are tossed at you.:D :D :D

Valandil
10-22-2003, 11:41 AM
Rotten pumpkins... Eeeewwww!:eek:

Pumpkin pie... Mmmmmm!:p

But won't you hazard a guess anyway? And where's reliable Radagast?

Spock
10-22-2003, 01:09 PM
Widower, single father of Boromir and Faramir.

I've not my books at hand and memory is crowded with many urgent concurrent demands at this time.
--------------------------
I only know as much about myself as my mind can work on under its current conditions. And its current conditions are not good.

Valandil
10-22-2003, 01:27 PM
"E" is not correct... I guess this IS an obscure-type question - geared just for a history/JRRT/continuity nut like myself:D :cool:

Where's Radagast? :)

Radagast The Brown
10-22-2003, 01:28 PM
Here's reliable Radagast. :p

the right answer is A. Still single.

Valandil
10-22-2003, 01:38 PM
Nope - not A - so I guess we're somewhere in the middle...

(and getting close to my self-imposed deadline!):eek:

Radagast The Brown
10-22-2003, 01:46 PM
It needs to be A. Are you sure? *Checks in his book* Oh! Oh! :p

My guess is C; though I'm not certain.

Valandil
10-22-2003, 01:50 PM
"C" is correct!:D And you beat the deadline by 4 minutes.:cool:

Just think: at the Council of Elrond, Aragorn coulda told Boromir, "Hey boy, I bounced you on me knee when you were an infink!" Boromir was 2, I think, when Thorongil left - Faramir was born 3 years later. Their mother died soon after that.

Radagast, take it...

Radagast The Brown
10-22-2003, 01:54 PM
How did the wildmen from Druadan call the orcs?

Spock
10-22-2003, 02:00 PM
what or how? I know it was a long name but I can't brouwoewea spell it from memory;)

Valandil
10-22-2003, 02:11 PM
Spock - you're thinking of ents (or mumbling like one!). I think it's in an earlier post:

GORGUN!

Spock
10-22-2003, 02:14 PM
Right, that was my next guess.:D
Think I'd better go take my Valerian Root now.

Valandil
10-22-2003, 02:18 PM
If I may presume to go ahead and ask...

What's the name of the first forest one would encounter in the trip from Edoras to Mundberg / Minas Tirith?

No peeking at those maps now!:D

Radagast The Brown
10-22-2003, 04:33 PM
Gorgun is correct. Your turn Valandil.:)

Valandil
10-22-2003, 04:59 PM
See above:)

Once Spock gave me the word, I jumped the gun on you!:D :eek:

Radagast The Brown
10-22-2003, 05:06 PM
Firienwood? (ok, I've checked in the books... :p I admit...)

Valandil
10-22-2003, 05:12 PM
Shame on you!:mad:

But it sure makes you right!:D :cool:

Take over...

Radagast The Brown

What gift did Arwen gave Frodo? (I'm not saying when. I think she gave him only one gift)

old scholar
10-24-2003, 12:34 PM
a white jewel in the shape of a star:)

Radagast The Brown
10-24-2003, 05:25 PM
Right. Your turn. :)

Radagast The Brown
10-27-2003, 02:37 PM
Can someone volunteer to ask the question? I don't think old scholar is going to ask.

Amea
10-27-2003, 03:46 PM
Okay:D
name this verse:
" the leaves were long the grass was green
the hemlock-umbles tall and fair"

kiwi52291
11-02-2003, 03:12 AM
It is "the tale of Tinuviel.":D

Amea
11-02-2003, 10:21 AM
That's correct your turn

Radagast The Brown
11-06-2003, 09:14 AM
I post a question instead of kiwi because he didn't post one:

What was the name of the storekeeper Beregond called to in Minas Tirith?

Turambar1982

Radagast The Brown

11-07-2003, 09:50 AM
the burning hands of denthor

Turambar1982
11-09-2003, 07:58 AM
That would be right. your turn jenkins.

brownjenkins
11-10-2003, 12:21 PM
what was the name of the battering ram used by sauron's forces during the seige of minas tirith?

bonus (crossover trivia): what was it named after?

Cirdan
11-10-2003, 12:45 PM
Grond... Named after Melkor's guardian (the hammer)

brownjenkins
11-10-2003, 01:25 PM
correct on both counts :)

the hammer of the underworld to be precise ;)

great. :cool: ok.
what happened on the 15th of march in the year of the quest?

Valandil
11-12-2003, 01:23 PM
LOTS!!! Oh... where to start???

The gate to Minas Tirith knocked down, the arrival of the Rohirrim, the suicide of Denethor, The Battle of the Pelennor Fields, the death of Theoden, the destruction of the Witch King, the arrival of Aragorn to Minas Tirith, etc.

All-in-all, quite a big day! :)

Spock
11-14-2003, 12:01 PM
Didn't Frodo get one of his wounds on that date?

Valandil
11-14-2003, 12:20 PM
Like I said, "big day"!

But Spock... wouldn't I have to look in The Appendix to know that? ;)

Spock
11-14-2003, 01:13 PM
lol:D No actually it's mentioned in the story that he felt poorly and Sam remembered it was on that day he got his wound. :p

Valandil

What was the emblem of the Prince of Dol Amroth?

Spock
11-17-2003, 03:42 PM
A white swan?

P.S. Good question! :D

Valandil
11-17-2003, 04:11 PM
Dunedain - you are correct! Good try Spock... I think I'd have guessed the same if someone else posted the question, rather than finding something in the book to ask! :)

Dúnedain
11-17-2003, 04:25 PM
Ok here goes :D

In the Houses of Healing, what does Aragorn say the herb-master may call the leaf that Merry wants to smoke? One is called _____ by the vulgar, and ______ by the noble...

Bacchus, your turn.

Bacchus
12-07-2003, 09:16 PM
Forgot about this thread. Hmm, need a question....

What was Aragorn's horse named. (Hint-the answer is NOT Hasufel)

Cirdan
12-13-2003, 03:14 AM
black gate of mordor

plaidjedillama
12-14-2003, 10:46 PM
Indeed. (should that have been the Morannon?) Your turn, Cirdan.

Cirdan
12-18-2003, 01:38 AM
Sorry. Been to busy actually reading the book and seeing the movie.

Who is the standard bearer for Theoden?

Q: what was strange about the black gate of Mordor, and what was its TRUE purpose. the mountains surrounding Mordor had the same purpose which is, in fact, the opposite of one's first reaction. feel free to email me wid ur answers too.

It was built to keep enemies in, not out.

What prediction does Saruman make of Frodo's future, before he turns to leave the Shire?

That Frodo will not live long?

Saruman said that out the front of Bag End, didn't he?

Nurvingiel
12-23-2003, 05:11 PM
Yes. Well, you got it before anyway, I was just being nitpicky.

Saruman said "Do not expect me to wish you health and long life. You will have neither."

But I suppose a lack of long life implies a lack of health, so whatev. :D

Your go cassiopeia!

What day, in Shire reckoning, did Sam awake in Ithilien after the Ring was destroyed?

Pipes? It feels right anyway.

That's correct, Nurvingiel. :)

Nurvingiel

Roughly how many were in Shagrat and Gorbag's companies, respectively?

Radagast The Brown
01-05-2004, 05:09 PM
150?

Nurvingiel
01-05-2004, 08:36 PM
Close. I mean, there were __ in Shagrat's company, and __ in Gorbag's company.

Radagast The Brown
01-06-2004, 09:29 AM
80 in gorbag's, 70 in shagrat's?

Valandil
01-06-2004, 10:23 AM
I thought it was more like 50 in Gorbag's and 100 in Shagrat's??

Nurvingiel
01-12-2004, 03:57 PM
Sorry for asking such a stagnating question guys. The answer is found in "The Tower of Cirith Ungol".

Also, the answer is from Sam's estimation.

No one is correct so far, but Radagast the Brown was closest. (He said Gorbag 80, Shagrat 70.) Radagast is correct about Gorbag.

If you guys want to give up, Radagast can ask a question.

cassiopeia
01-12-2004, 08:42 PM
I checked the book. :D Shagrat's company was about forty, while Gorbag's was more than twice as large -- more than eighty.

Nurvingiel
01-12-2004, 08:54 PM
Yes. Nice work! Your turn cassiopeia. :)

Edit: Darn your-you're

What rule did Pippin break by putting most of the next day's allowance of wood in the fire?

Nurvingiel

Rule 4.

I love the Scouring of the Shire. Appropriate Quote:
"I can add some more, if you'd like it," said Sam. "Calling your Chief Names, Wishing to Punch his Pimply Face, and Thinking you Shirriffs look a lot of Tom-fools."

How far is it from Pelargir to Harlond?

Radagast The Brown
01-23-2004, 05:20 PM
1200 miles?

Nurvingiel
01-23-2004, 11:43 PM
I asked a mean question now that I think about it. I was just re-reading that part, and I thought it was a cool peice of trivia.

It's in the chapter The Last Debate, and the distance is measured in leagues.

Cirdan
01-24-2004, 12:48 AM
...and I was thinking I would use that one for a trivia question last time I read it and now I don't remember clearly.:headslap:

Is it thirty leagues?

Nurvingiel
01-24-2004, 05:17 AM
Close, you are close.

Radagast The Brown
01-24-2004, 10:08 AM
Oh - I thought you meant Harlond as in the harbor in Lhun...

how much is a leagyue in miles?

Spock
01-24-2004, 01:01 PM
1 league = 5.55600 kilometers

One kilometer is equivalent to 1,000 meters or 0.62 miles

Wat about 150 miles, then?

Nurvingiel
01-24-2004, 05:15 PM
Edit: Actually, I miscalculated. It is 144 miles, so Radagast has got it.

You're turn.

What's the name of Gwaihir's brother?

Nurvingiel

Good question Radagast! Was it Lanrovar, or was that his lieutenant?

Radagast The Brown
01-25-2004, 09:19 AM
It's Landroval, and it's close enough for me. :) Your turn Nurvingiel.

Nurvingiel
01-25-2004, 05:31 PM
Thanks Radagast. Gotta love that fudge factor. :D

What plant(s), if any, grow in Mordor?

Aromen
01-25-2004, 05:47 PM
Thorns?

Nurvingiel
01-25-2004, 05:53 PM
A thorn is part of a plant, but you're on the right track.

Twista
01-25-2004, 06:21 PM
"Brambles of Mordor" is the correct answer i belive ;)

..I don't remember any such mention in the book and this isn't for the appendix as there is a trivia thread for those questions...so I'm at a loss, once again.

Twista
01-27-2004, 12:42 PM

Spock
01-27-2004, 01:15 PM
Ah, thanks.

Rad. the Brown? Can you come up with one please.

Twista
01-27-2004, 01:37 PM
is still my question in theory lol.

Spock
01-27-2004, 01:50 PM
:( ok, but the question must be from ROTK, book, no appendix or other books. Thanks.:rolleyes:

Yes.

You were right on my question Twista, and now it's your turn again!

Twista
01-27-2004, 03:53 PM
Easy one then:

What valley is Minas Morgal situated in?

Radagast The Brown
01-27-2004, 04:16 PM
Imlad?

Twista
01-27-2004, 04:30 PM
Good enough for me!

Radagast The Brown
01-27-2004, 04:39 PM
Wat do you mean? What is the correct answer then?

What is the other name of Lampwright's street in Minas Tirith?

Twista
01-27-2004, 04:47 PM
Rath Celerdain?

Spock
01-27-2004, 06:07 PM
Well, Imlad Morgul was the name after the Nazgul took over.

Nurvingiel
02-09-2004, 10:52 PM
Okay, I'll look it up. Um... September 19, 3018?

(Hey, that's 3 days before Frodo and Bilbo's birthdays, something I actually know without having to look it up. :D)

Radagast The Brown
02-13-2004, 08:48 AM
Yes, you're correct, I looked it up too. And even though Twista didn't aproved it, I think you can ask a question.

(btw - isn't it from the appendixes?)

Nurvingiel
02-16-2004, 07:55 PM
You can go RTB, I'm at a public computer and deprived of my RotK.

YOU ARE RIGHT! I couldn't think of a more difficult question as I don't have access to my books but I'd hope it would take more than an hour to solve this. :You know your LOTR. Good on you!:D

How did Baldor son of Brego (king of Rohan) die?

He was killed in the Path of the Dead.

Silver necklace with a white stone? (in it)

Katie of the Golden Wood
03-10-2004, 05:23 PM
She gives him the Evenstar to help ease his old wounds from Weathertop, Shelob, and the Ring itself.

Katie

Twista
03-14-2004, 10:34 AM
Hmmm, they may be correct but its not what i was looking for. It wasnt so much a gift, but she 'gave up' something for him.

Nurvingiel
03-14-2004, 02:38 PM
Oh! (Though she did give him that white stone Katie referred to, I've got it!)

She gave him her place on a ship to go to sail into the West.

Twista
03-14-2004, 02:42 PM
Well done Nurvio! Not suprised one of fellow council members got it.... :)

Nurvingiel
03-14-2004, 03:19 PM
Thanks Twista. :)

Who suggested the heralds say "The King Elessar" at the Black Gate, and why?

Radagast The Brown
03-14-2004, 03:22 PM
Gandalf, because then Sauron would be interested in them and look at them and not at the hobbits?

Nurvingiel
03-14-2004, 03:26 PM
Part one, no
Part two, this is a possibility but it was more general than that.

Radagast The Brown
03-14-2004, 03:28 PM
Prince Imrahil then?

Cirdan
03-15-2004, 02:01 PM
To respect to stewardship until the official transfer of power occured.

Spock
03-15-2004, 02:16 PM
Galadriel said he was to use that name for his house and Sauron would know the name of old and fear it.

Nurvingiel
03-28-2004, 12:27 AM
It was Prince Imrahil, sorry about the delay.

He suggested it because it would make Sauron think on the name more than the Lords of the West would.

Sorry about the delay guys. :o

EDIT: That means RTB got it.
