Whose knife did Beren use to cut a Silmaril from Morgoth's Crown?

The name of the knife itself was Angrist, but as for who it belonged to.... I would hazard the guess it once belonged to Felagund?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:35 am

Curufin.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 5:13 am

Well done, you to go.

Beren died directly after the Wolf died, as did Huan. I give this Meneldil.

I must say that this is pretty disappointing. You'd better check your data, Draugluin. Beren's hand was eaten by the wolf BEFORE the Hunting of the Wolf even though he died afterward. As far as I know the casualties CAUSED BY THE HUNT were what I stated. Beren died because of his lost hand. But I could be wrong :roll:

But please check anyway. Not that I want the turn, but in fact to prove that I was indeed correct.

Well, I actually don't think it's ever stated that he died because of his losr hand. I just read the part in the Silmarillion about the Hunting of the Wolf to check, and in fact it says that Carcaroth bit Beren in his chest, and that he was heavily wounded. Then Beren hands the Silmaril to Thingol after Huan killed Carcaroth and Mablung gave the Silmaril back to him, and then he died.

Luthien drew the poison out of the wound from his stump of his hand. Despite the fact that he lost his hand and most likely a good amount of blood, he was ok. During the hunt, he was kinda mauled by Carcharoth, who was then killed by/killed off Huan. Beren then died, causing Luthien to die of grief.

Who were the Gonnhirrim?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 3:56 pm

Cross between Gondorians and Rohirrim?

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 3:58 pm

I think it's a Sindarin name for dwarves.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 4:10 pm

Good job Meneldil, your go.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 4:23 pm

Thanks!

What river did Túrin drink from after he accidentally killed Beleg Cúthalion?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 4:33 pm

Ivrin?

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 5:09 pm

Yes, he drank from Eithel Ivrin. Well done

You to go Gothmog.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:17 pm

Thanks, and enjoy your party.

Right, this one is really easy; What was the army that defeated Faramir at Osgiliath but was driven out by Boromir composed mainly of?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:29 pm

Uruk-hai.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:35 pm

Your turn.

LOL at the fact you answered when you've just been helping me with this army.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:42 pm

An easyish one and related to the last one. What year did Uruk-hai first appear and where?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:45 pm

2475 of the Third Age?

In the above mentioned assult on Osgiliath.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 11:09 pm

Yes, I would also have accepted Ithilien.
