The Black Chasm, The Black Pit, Dwarrowdelf, Hadhodrond, Moria, Khazad-dûm. It lies in the central portion of the Misty Mountains, it isn't all of the Misty Mountains...

I already found (out) Dunedain is REAL good at being technical. Beat me at it once!

Okay, okay. Dunedain did mention the mts. in his second answer so he is correct enough for me.
What was considered to be the worst disaster to occur in Gondor in all its history? |

I believe that was the Attack of the Wainriders, wasn't it? (if not, I got two other guesses - and think I know which it'd be)
If I'm right, I'll defer to Dunedain for the following question, since he got your other one right. |

The it HAD to be the Great Plague! That woulda been my first guess, but I was thinking the third chronologically was the worst... (see where Wrong Thinking gets ya!)
Say - weren't each of these disasters almost exactly 200 years apart?  |

Well... since Dunedain is still not here (HEY! Should we call him "Dunedude"?
)...Two Kings of Gondor bore the same name as a King of Arnor. Which two names were used once each by a King of both realms? Dunedude will regret not being here for THIS one... (but DD, it IS your turn once you're back!) |
