Yup, your go.

With what argument did the Council of Gondor reject Arvedui's claim for the crown of Gondor?

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Thu Nov 10, 2011 10:27 pm

Pelendur cheif of the council of Gondor contended that the crown belonged to the heirs of Meneldil, son of Anárion, since Isildur had relinquished the realm of Gondor.
Earnil was crowned because he was of the royal house and because of his victories.......phew

Meneldil · **Posted:** Thu Nov 10, 2011 10:44 pm

That's correct, well done! :yay:

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sun Nov 13, 2011 3:51 am

So, is DMS gonna ask something?

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Sun Nov 13, 2011 12:46 pm

Sorry guys I forgot to post a question :oops:

What "T" was a Hobbit of Stoor-kind who lived on the banks of the Anduin in the later Third Age?

Meneldil · **Posted:** Sun Nov 13, 2011 1:55 pm

Could it be Smeagol's actual name? I believe it was like Trahad or something similar... :roll:

EDIT: I think it was TrahaLd.

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Sun Nov 13, 2011 1:58 pm

Well done Meneldil I'll accept that .. its Trahald

Meneldil · **Posted:** Mon Nov 14, 2011 4:09 pm

Thanks.

Whose emblem is this?

Four silver stars and a sun...

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Nov 14, 2011 4:25 pm

Haha thats on the back of my copy of the Silmarillion, it is Fingolfin's symbol

Meneldil · **Posted:** Mon Nov 14, 2011 5:21 pm

lucky you!

''Well done!'' Your turn Gothmog!

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Nov 18, 2011 4:11 pm

So, is Gothmog gonna ask something or what?

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Fri Nov 18, 2011 4:21 pm

He hasn't logged on in 3 days so he's probably busy at the moment.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Nov 18, 2011 5:54 pm

As far as I know he is indeed very busy, so let's just be patient.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sat Nov 19, 2011 11:02 pm

Funny you should start to comment on the day i have a chance to come back. Meneldil and Red Corsairs are right I have been very busy, I have some brief respite for the moment so i thought'd i'd log on for a short time today, although I am still quite busy with stuff so I may not be able to confirm a correct answer either, there's a good chance I won't be back on until next weekend (so be patient Mr Draugluin!)

Anway; "What did Sauron consider the loss of the Pelennor to be for him?"

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sun Nov 20, 2011 4:40 am

The loss of his most powerful servant and the loss of a huge number, though small % of his troops? I'm really not sure what you want for an answer.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Sun Nov 20, 2011 6:25 pm

The loss of his great Captain, the unexpected defeat of his first assault and a growing doubt of his power.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sun Nov 20, 2011 10:42 pm

I would give this one to Draugluin since your closest to my wording 'he considers it a tactical defeat for despite his losses he only commited a small portion of his forces, and his only real loss was the loss of his spear of terror (the W-K)'

So Draugluin, your turn.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Mon Nov 21, 2011 5:09 pm

A simple one, who/what was Huan and what prophecies were made about him?

Meneldil · **Posted:** Mon Nov 21, 2011 5:29 pm

He was a great hound and was given to Celegorm by Oromë. He was allowed to speak three times in his life, and would be killed by the greatest wolf that ever lived.
