Thrain. One of the seven rings of the dwarves was taken.

Keith K · 11-19-2003, 01:53 PM

Thrain II and the "last of the Seven"?
(dang, Radagast pre-empted me)

Dúnedain · 11-19-2003, 04:20 PM

Well, technically Keith is right because he said Thrain II and said "the last of the seven rings" which is was...

Sure it does, cuz it was the only ring that was left in Dwarven hands

Plus the appendix says specifially "last of the seven rings"

Maybe, but I didn't go to the appendix to check it. (I' not saying Keith did) I did remmber that it was the last of the seven. (honestly)

Dúnedain · 11-19-2003, 05:09 PM

hehe, well whatever you guys want to do, I was just being technical about the answer...

Whew! Wait 'til he gets married!

WHAT are the three little words that everyone loves to hear from their spouse?

Keith K · 11-19-2003, 06:00 PM

I did not look it up. I pulled it right outta the ol' memory banks. I've been reading the Appendices for a long time. I initially put just plain "Thrain", but at the last moment I heard warning bells in my head and added the II.

So in that sense Radagast is correct. I was merely more specific. Still, I will ask the next question since the author of the last one has deferred to me.

What year (Shire Reckoning) saw the "wonderful summer and famous harvest?

***Valandil*** · 11-19-2003, 06:24 PM

1420 S.R.

And the answer to mine... some would think it's: "I love you!"
The cynic (or jokester) in me says it's: "You were right!"

Keith K · 11-19-2003, 06:41 PM

Agreed.
BTW. 1420 is correct.

***Valandil*** · 11-20-2003, 12:15 AM

OK... back in the saddle!

Geography for 200:

Remember the Fell Winter? The following spring, a certain city was ruined by the resulting floods and subsequently abandoned. Name that city.

Keith K · 11-20-2003, 01:57 AM

Dang, I know that one. It is the city near the ford of Tharbad. I'm gonna have to look it up. It was a Numenorian city, one of the earliest of their settlements in ME.

Dúnedain · 11-20-2003, 03:51 PM

Keith was close, he just didn't say it correctly

It WAS the city of Tharbad

***Valandil*** · 11-20-2003, 03:53 PM

I have, but only briefly. I'm gonna try and look at it more this weekend

Question coming...

Dúnedain · 11-20-2003, 04:08 PM

Here goes

This may or may not be hard, not sure

For the Shire calendar, who did they take the "week" from?

***Valandil*** · 11-20-2003, 04:18 PM

Why, the Numenoreans, of course!
