My only answer.

***Valandil*** · 06-04-2004, 10:57 AM

Sorry... not correct.

Falagar · 06-04-2004, 10:59 AM

Then I'll try Dagor Aglaron (can continue this for some time

)

I'll take that one. My book says 'Dagor Aglareb' - which is 'The Glorious Battle'.

Kind of a 'guy question' wasn't it? Your turn!

Falagar · 06-04-2004, 05:45 PM

Yeah

I always mix up the order they came in but I usually remember the names.

What did Melian give to Beleg when he left to find Turin? Not sure whether this is an easy or a hard one...

Radagast The Brown · 06-04-2004, 05:47 PM

Lembas?

Falagar · 06-05-2004, 01:27 PM

Radagast The Brown · 06-05-2004, 04:09 PM

What was the wing-span of Thorondor?

Falagar · 06-07-2004, 08:10 AM

Was it seven feet? Came down from some corner of my brain when I saw the question, though it doesn't seem nearly large enough.

***Valandil*** · 06-07-2004, 08:52 AM

No - it was something unreasonably humongous... like was it 120'? Does he say 20 fathoms or something?

Falagar · 06-07-2004, 11:47 AM

I distinctly remember the numbers 9 and/or 7, but it might just be my memory playing with me.

Nerdanel · 06-09-2004, 05:24 PM

Wasn't it 50 fathoms or something like that?

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 06-09-2004, 07:17 PM

30 fathoms.

Radagast The Brown · 06-11-2004, 01:33 PM

No, to all. The closest, though, was Nerdanel's guess.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 06-11-2004, 02:59 PM

From the Published Silmarillion, Houghton Mifflin Edition, 1977.

Quote:

Now, even as Fingon bent his bow, there flew down from the high airs Thorondor, King of Eagles, mightiest of all birds that have ever been, whose outstretched wings spanned thirty fathoms; and staying Fingon's hand he took him up, and bore him to the face of the rock where Meadhros hung.

Nerdanel · 06-13-2004, 03:33 PM

RadtB, what are you gonna say now?

Nerdanel · 06-16-2004, 08:32 AM

I guess it's your turn, SGH.

From A Guide to Tolkien by David Day:

"With a wingspan measured at thirty fathoms, Thorondor appears to have been the largest Eagle ever to have lived."

David Day!!!!

Wow, you mean he got something right? I got my quote out of the Silmarillion.

Okay, give me some time to come up with one. Thinking of a hard one.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 06-16-2004, 12:48 PM

What was the "Firmament?"

Beren3000 · 06-16-2004, 03:34 PM

The "firmament" in Middle Earth means other than sky ???
