    Middle-Earth Quiz!!

    The game is simple. One person asks a question about anything regarding the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and someone else tries to answer it. The first person to answer correctly gets to ask the next question. I'll start:

    QUESTION: The constellation of Orion is a figure of whom and what event does it prophecy?

    Orion is Turin; It prophecies the last battle at the end of days.

    That is not entirely correct. Telumehtar/Melevagor is the name for the constellation Orion and it means "Heavenly Warrior" and it was created by Varda long before Turin existed. The Big Dipper is called Valacirca or "the Sickle of the Valar" and it is that which foretells the Doom of Morgoth.

    That is indeed correct. But very good guess, Felagund.

    Your turn, Earanduil.

    Re: Middle-Earth Quiz!!

    Name the one reference to something in LOTR that doesn't have a real backing in the legendarium. Who was the speaker, what was he referring to, and who was he making the comparison with?

    Hmm, tough one. Something about the Cats of Queen Beruthiel is all I've got.

    Re: Middle-Earth Quiz!!

    I'm afraid I don't understand the question. If something actually appears in LotR (you mean the novel, not the films, right) and it's not in the legendarium, then what's the legendarium? Or do you mean a reference in something other than the books? A reference in what, the game?

    Yeah, that's what I was going for--I was reading the Letters and saw one of the Prof.'s footnotes saying this was the only reference he didn't explain.

    There is, however, still the context (speaker and who he's referring to) to be adressed, so you got it half right.
