Because, he no longer had the poweer to do so, itthe bailty to do so was removed by a higher power.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 9:45 pm

I was looking more for the how it was removed.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 9:49 pm

Because he put so much energy in the destruction of Númenor?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 9:55 pm

not quite

Meneldil · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:20 pm

Hmmm the way it was removed... I don't know actually.
But I guess he couldn't be fair in the eyes of Men as they knew what his intentions were now, and didn't trust him anymore. :roll:

Eru used the power of the Sea to destroy Numenor with Sauron inside it, and Sauron's body was destroyed during this, and as he spent much of his own energy in controling Numenor, as it was now destroyed his power was diiminshed and he was no longer capable of taking his fair form.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:50 pm

Correct!

Draugluin · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:51 pm

Thanks and nice question.

Which of the following were more numerous in the Battle of Pelennor Fields;
Orcs, Uruk-hai, Trolls, Black Numenoreans, Easterlings, Haradrim, Mumakil, Varaigs.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:13 am

This must be some kinda trick question, but it can only be Orcs.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:23 am

wrong answer - pelennor fields is the clue

Draugluin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:29 am

Orcs were his primary infantry, it's isn't possible that any other race/nationality outnumbered them. But if you think it's wrong, I would have to say Haradrim.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:31 am

By Pelennor Fields, most of the orcs had been killed off during the siege of Gondor, in hich not many of the accompanying Haradrim were killed, and then even more Haradrim turned up so, at that point there were a few more Haradrim.

Your turn.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:42 am

Even if most of the orcs were killed off, there were like 100,000 or them versus only about 20,000 haradrim. So even if 80% of the orcs were killed off, which is doubtful at that point, there would still have been more orcs than haradrim. Anyhows, what was the name of the 2 swords recovered from the troll-den in the Hobbit? I want both the elvish names and the orc names for them.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:44 am

weren't there 3 swords?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 1:49 am

2 swords and a dagger. I'm just looking for the swords.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 5:16 am

Glamdring, Foe Hammer, Beater (Gandalf's Sword)
Orcrist, Goblin Cleaver and Biter (Thorin's Sword)

Draugluin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 3:35 pm

Well done, your go WUtM

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 4:50 pm

Thanks Draugluin. Now for something a little more difficult....

What is the name of the Maia that both Arwen and Aragorn are distantly related to?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 03, 2011 5:21 pm

Melian, Thingol's wife and Luthien's mother.
