A very good answer, and one I must admit I hadn't thought of, but I'm afraid it's incorrect. This being is far more powerful, and not human either.

[Wolfhelm]

Who is the Watcher in the Water?

Another good answer, but also not what I was thinking of.

[Mirhaen]

Another good answer, but also not what I was thinking of.

Who is Smaug, the last of the great fire-drakes?

Yeah! That must be it.

Great riddle and great job figuring it out! (Well, if your right of course...grin)

[Wolfhelm]

But ofc!

Who is Smaug, the last of the great fire-drakes?

Absolutely correct.

The riddle-stick is yours Mirhaen

Who were the Mearas, and where did their ancestors come from?

[Boraxxe]

Here is one i thought interesting...Who were the Mearas, and where did their ancestors come from?

What was the name of the breed of horses that were introduced to middle-earth by Orome and descended from Felarof, a horse tamed by the first king of Rohan, Eorl?

[kittykatt]

[Boraxxe]

OK, next up:

This First Age character has an epithet that suggests disability.

[Boraxxe]

OK, next up:

This First Age character has an epithet that suggests disability.

Time for a hint.

This character was also an ancestor of most of the Numenorian and Gondorian royalty.

[Boraxxe]

OK, next up:

Time for a hint.

This character was also an ancestor of most of the Numenorian and Gondorian royalty.

And another hint:

I think this is the only man that ever touched a Silmaril.

[kittykatt]

Who was Beren, the One-Handed??

[Boraxxe]

Who was Beren, the One-Handed??

Yes. Beren Erchamion is the man!

You have the stick.

[kittykatt]

All right, here comes something I found rather interesting...
The 7 Houses of the Dwarves.

[Boraxxe]

All right, here comes something I found rather interesting...
The 7 Houses of the Dwarves.

Who are Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy?

Ok, just kidding, but I couldn't resist.
I will have a more appropriate question after I wake up...

[Boraxxe]

All right, here comes something I found rather interesting...
The 7 Houses of the Dwarves.

Ok, now that I am on my second cup of coffee...

The Houses or Clans of the dwarves were named based on appearance:

Beards: Longbeards, Firebeards and Stiffbeards.
Body parts: Ironfists, Stonefoots.
Body shape: Broadbeams.
Hair color: Blacklocks.

So to provide a correct Jeopardy question:

Who were the Longbeards, Firebeards, Stiffbeards, Ironfists, Stonefoots, Broadbeams and Blacklocks?

[kittykatt]

Exactly right!! *curtsy*..all yours!!!
