Middle-Earth Quiz!!

[Arasilion]

Yup.

/length

[Teowulf]

Well, since there's no question up, I'll go ahead and ask one, which is fairly easy, or so I think.

Who permanently scarred Morgoth's face?

[Isilmacil]

Thorondor, king of the eagles.

[Teowulf]

Well, since you didn't ask a question, I'll ask another (which I think is easy, at least).

Who, unknowingly and unintentionally caused the ruin of Doriath (albeit sort of indirectly, and not through stupidity/pride)?

[Isilmacil]

I would have to say Hurin, who gave Thingol the Naugrim(pardon if thats spelled incorrectly).

Even if i didn't get the answer above correct, i'll ask a new question.

Who was the first king of Numenor who openly jeceted the Valar and Elves.

[Teowulf]

Correct to my question, although the necklace was named Nauglimir, or something along those lines.


Tar-Atanamir is the answer to your question, Isilmacil, right?

[Isilmacil]

Correct

[gradivus]

Who was the first king of Numenor who openly jeceted the Valar and Elves.

What does "jeceted" mean?

If you meant "rejected" it depends on what degree of rejection. Tar-Atanamir was the first King to openly question the Ban of the Valar (which forbade Men from traveling close to the Undying Lands). About seven hundred years later King Tar-Herunúmen banned the use of Elvish languages in Númenor and named himself Ar-Adûnakhôr in the Adûnaic tongue of Númenor. His grandson Ar-Gimilzôr (Tar-Telemnar) banned Elves from Númenor. Finally, his grandson Ar-Pharazôn (Tar-Calion) totally rejected the Ban of the Valar and actually made war against the Valar, invading Aman and triggering the divine intervention that destroyed Númenor.

Who was the first of Isildur's heirs to be raised by Elrond at Rivendell?

[chompo78]

[QUOTE=lastalliance;1619740]Sauron - Isildur - Deagol - Smeagol - Bilbo - Frodo - Samwise - Frodo - Gollum

I think that's everyone...

Should have Tom B. in there after first Frodo, Frodo again, Sam, ect. (since Tom did have the ring for a very short time at his house). Can't recall, but think Gandalf also "possesed" the ring (however briefly) when talking to Frodo after Bilbo leaves or when they test it.

[Teowulf]

I don't know the answer to Gradivus' question, yet, due to me not quite being on that part. I have a question though.

How many of the Nazgul are Numenoreans?

[Kanoroch]

Who was the first of Isildur's heirs to be raised by Elrond at Rivendell?

Valandil, Isildur's own son, who was too young to go to war at the time of the Last Alliance and was therefore left with his mother in Rivendell. There, Elrond helped raise him.

3.

What King of Numenor willingly relinquished rule to his son when evil began to stir in Middle Earth and Gil-Galad asked for help?

[lastalliance]

Tar-Meneldur

Name his son and every title that was once bestowed upon him.

[Talanthiar]

Tar-Meneldur

Name his son and every title that was once bestowed upon him.

Tar-Aldarion. I know he was founder and head of the League of Venturers.
Other than that I'm not recalling much, other than that he was estranged from his wife from his constant long voyages.

[gradivus]

Tar-Meneldur -- Name his son and every title that was once bestowed upon him.

The question was written ambiguously, and Talanthiar apparently thought LastAlliance meant his son's titles. Assuming you meant the father, Tar-Meneldur, I quote from the Encyclopedia of Arda:

His true name was Írimon, but he took the King-name Meneldur ('servant of the heavens') because of his love of the stars.

Who was the first of Isildur's heirs to be raised by Elrond at Rivendell?

Valandil, Isildur's own son, who was too young to go to war at the time of the Last Alliance and was therefore left with his mother in Rivendell. There, Elrond helped raise him.

I'll have to give you that one, though that's not who I was thinking of. I asked the question the wrong way. I should have written it this way:

Who was the first of Isildur's heirs to be sent to Rivendell to be raised by Elrond?

(Not Valandil, since Isildur didn't send him there for that purpose.)

[lastalliance]

Sorry, I shouldn't have had that ambiguous question. I actually meant Tar-Aldarion's titles; he did have a few.

Who was the first of Isildur's heirs to be sent to Rivendell to be raised by Elrond?

That would be Arahael, the Second Chieftain of the Dunedain.

[gradivus]

The answer isn't in the "canon" (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion) published during J.R.R. Tolkien's life, is it?

That would be Arahael, the Second Chieftain of the Dunedain.

That would be correct.

[Talanthiar]

Hmm, too quiet. Here's one- Who was considered the greatest minstrel
in Middle Earth in the first age?

[Arasilion]

I know that one MAGLOR!

What mountain range did Ungoliant make her home in Beleriand?

[edwinunger]

Oooh!

Mountains of Terror, or Ered Gorgoroth. Interesting point, though: it wasn't named the Mountains of Terror until Ungoliant moved there and began producing offspring, making the whole area a horror.

Name the only Ainu to ever produce a child. (Not including Ungoliant, who is thought to be Ainu).

[Talanthiar]

I know that one MAGLOR!

What mountain range did Ungoliant make her home in Beleriand?

Maglor was the greatest Minstrel of the Noldor, but Daeron of Doriath was cosidered the greatest Minstrel of all the Elves in Middle Earth.

[lastalliance]

The answer isn't in the "canon" (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion) published during J.R.R. Tolkien's life, is it?

It's in Unfinished Tales. The Silmarillion actually wasn't published during Tolkien's life either.

Name the only Ainu to ever produce a child. (Not including Ungoliant, who is thought to be Ainu).

Melian

[Arasilion]

Maglor was the greatest Minstrel of the Noldor, but Daeron of Doriath was cosidered the greatest Minstrel of all the Elves in Middle Earth.

You now what's funny? I actually knew the right answer but, at the moment of answering, I thought it was Maglor :-(

[LOTRFan101]

Question needed to start this thing off again...

Uh....

Uh....

Uh....

Name all of Sam's children, I guess.

[Herone]

Wow. I came to this thread thinking I might be able to answer a question or two, but instead I found out how uterly illiterate in Tolkien's work's I am. Guess I'd better get back to reading!

Have fun!
