well done Sir Richard ... you to go

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Sun Nov 27, 2011 4:48 pm

Thanks DMS! Here's my question:

When did Sauron first come Mirkwood and when was the last time he was there? Also, what was the name of the hill that Dol Guldur was built on and what did its name mean?

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Sun Nov 27, 2011 5:03 pm

First came to Mirkwood some time around Third age 1000 and in 2941 was the last time Sauron was at Dol Guldur. The name of the hill was Amon Lanc meaning bald hill .

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:30 pm

That is correct DMS! I was looking for something a bit different from "bald" but I'll let it pass it's close enough for me. You're turn.

What is the name given to Elves who have seen the light of the Two Trees in Valinor?

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:15 pm

The Calaquendi. Those who did not were the Moriquendi.

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:20 pm

Indeed they were .. correct!! Well done WUTM

Who was the Gandalf's tutor in Valinor and what did he/she teach him?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:29 pm

Manwe?

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:56 pm

He was the pupil of Nienna predominantly but also Manwe and varda

Draugluin · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 5:50 pm

Nienna and she taught him patience and pity.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:36 pm

Yes, Gandalf is remembered predominantly as a pupil of Nienna. Both Draugluin and DMS got that part. BUT, DMS forgot to answer part 2 "what did he/she teach him". The answer was Nienna taught Gandalf the value of pity. Well done, Draugluin. Your turn.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:20 pm

That's the only reason (besides the pipeweed) that Gandalf could stand the hobbits

An easy one, name the kings in the second line of the Kings of Rohan.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:56 pm

Frealaf Hildeson, Brytta Leofa, Walda, Folca, Folcwine, Fengel, Thengel and Theoden.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:20 pm

Yup, your go.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Tue Nov 29, 2011 5:43 am

What's the name of the greatest dragon that ever lived and who slew him?

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Tue Nov 29, 2011 6:00 am

Ancalagon was the name of the dragon and Eärendil killed him.

WayUnderTheMountain · **Posted:** Tue Nov 29, 2011 6:58 pm

Well done, Sir Richard. Your go.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:04 am

Thanks WayUnderTheMountain. Here's my question:

What was the chief emblem of royal authority in the northern kingdom of Arnor? When did this pass to Elrond?(precise date please)

Draugluin · **Posted:** Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:57 pm

The Elendilmir, the Star of Elendil. I guess it was given to Elrond when Arathorn II died in TA 2933.
