Not an answer but I was just wondering... do you peeps who answer these kind of questions know them off the top of your head or just look them up?
The last few pages worth of questions I've had 100% no idea what the answer is and I'm feeling rather un-geeky heheheh

Some of them I know off the top of my head, but others I need to look up in the Appendixes.

Sorry for the slow reply... We just moved house...Anyway you're correct!

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Mon Jan 20, 2014 5:52 pm

Ahem, Fariagorn... your go :wink:

I'll give you the question seeing as Fariagorn is taking so long.

Ah cool, ok then let's see....

What is another name for the Hornburg?

mertaal · **Posted:** Tue Jan 21, 2014 11:37 am

I guess you don't just mean "Helm's Deep"?

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Tue Jan 21, 2014 12:01 pm

Heheh, nope. The deep is the valley, the Hornburg is the fortress.

mertaal · **Posted:** Tue Jan 21, 2014 12:05 pm

I didn't think it was going to be that easy!

. I always thought Helm's Deep was the fortress, and the Hornberg was the mountain!

Suthburg?

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Fri Jan 24, 2014 9:20 am

Not the one I'm looking for I'm afraid.... good guess though

mertaal · **Posted:** Fri Jan 24, 2014 10:08 am

Oh oh oh: The Glittering Caves?

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Fri Jan 24, 2014 10:26 am

Still nope... a bit closer though I suppose :wink:

Ryle · **Posted:** Fri Jan 24, 2014 11:11 am

I think the Hornburg is the fortress at the entrance to the Glittering Caves but I have no idea what its called.

Aglarond?

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Fri Jan 24, 2014 5:33 pm

Coooooooooorrrreect!!
Your turn

Dorth does a slight spoiler but does NOT want the question: from the Encyclopedia of Arda -

Quote:

It seems that the glittering caverns originally gave their name to the entire defensive complex, and there are records of the fortress that guarded the deep being called 'Aglarond' during the time it was still under Gondorian control. With the coming of the Rohirrim, these names were changed. Eventually the fortress became known as the Hornburg, so that Aglarond described just the caverns from which the name derived.

Just in case anyone thought Aglarond was just an older name for the Glittering Caves themselves.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Jan 27, 2014 4:05 pm

Hmm, I'll go for an easier one,

"Who killed Ungoliant and how did he/she/they do it?"

mastermanje · **Posted:** Mon Jan 27, 2014 4:07 pm

She ate herself?

mertaal · **Posted:** Mon Jan 27, 2014 4:13 pm

Sounds right to me, although I thought it was suggested, but nobody knew for certain.
