Since there was no reply, I recently came about a topic which brings about an interesting question.

Question is:

-What was the main reason why the rulers of Gondor stopped watching Mordor, allowing its slow return?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sat Mar 25, 2017 2:36 pm

Loss of manpower.

well yes, but what specific event made them lose that manpower?

lol kinda gave it away

Invasion of the wainriders?

Feanorthenoldor · **Joined:** Wed Sep 02, 2009 6:44 pm **Posts:** 879

the main reason was the plague, but yeah, the several battles against the Wain riders was an additional reason.

You're up!

Maybe an easy one, but what led to the downfall of Númenor?

Reto · **Posted:** Mon May 15, 2017 11:33 am

Bringing Sauron to Numenor? He eventually convinced the Numenorians to attack Valinor.

The Numenorian's own pride and their fear of death.

Both correct. More directly it would be Ar-Pharazôn attacking Valinor and Eru Ilúvatar trapping his host and changing the world to prevent it from happening again.

Either one of you feel free to come up with the next question.

Wan Shi Tong · **Posted:** Wed May 24, 2017 9:02 pm

I will have a go at it then.

In the videogame Lord of the Rings Conquest what was the exploit for completing the third objective in the Mines of Moria mission without having to fight any trolls?

From the looks of things, nobody knows.

Do you have a different question, maybe one a little more mainstream Tolkien?

Wan Shi Tong · **Posted:** Wed Aug 23, 2017 2:00 pm

Yeah I got one,

What was the difference between the weapons carried by the Uruk-hai of Isengard and those of traditional orcs, as noted by Aragorn?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Wed Aug 23, 2017 7:09 pm

Uruk-hai had broad swords, orcs usually had crude scimitars.
