lotr trilogy trivia

mallondwen · 01-04-2004, 10:41 PM

ok here are the rules:

Questions must be from the movies only, even if a little or completely changed from the books.

Questions can be as obvious or as difficult as you want, as long as they are appropriate and on topic.

Trick questions are allowed

Other than these few exceptions, have fun, here is the first question:

"What two kinds of light make the Ithildin markings Visible?"

**Nurvingiel** · 01-04-2004, 11:36 PM

Moonlight and starlight? I didn't know that was in the movie. If I'm right, it's because I got if from the books. (If I'm wrong, it's because I misremembered the books.

)

cassiopeia · 01-05-2004, 01:44 AM

This is going to be confusing!

I think you're right, Nurvingiel. I seem to recall Gandalf muttering 'starlight and moonlight' outside Moria in the FOTR.

**Nurvingiel** · 01-05-2004, 02:06 AM

Ah, it is in the movies then. Well, your call mallondwen.

If I'm right, I have a great completely movie-based question.

mallondwen · 01-05-2004, 12:12 PM

yes it is correct, starlight and moonlight.

Gandalf says it outside of Moria, he says it quietly to himself when he runs his fingers over the lines: "Ithildin, it mirrors only starlight and moonlight" then he looks up at the sky, the clouds part and it shows up.

but that’s if you want to get technical

**Nurvingiel** · 01-05-2004, 09:05 PM

Yea. That means I get to go right?

What does the Witch-King say he's going to do, but does not?

Christiana · 01-05-2004, 11:27 PM

"break" Gandalf-but that scene will come in EE

**Nurvingiel** · 01-05-2004, 11:44 PM

Aha! I thought so. I based my question on the theatrical version. Go ahead.

Christiana · 01-06-2004, 10:37 PM

whom did Aragorn say he was when he first met Boromir?

ethuiliel · 01-06-2004, 10:40 PM

A friend of Gandalf the Grey

Christiana · 01-06-2004, 11:34 PM

yup. your turn

ethuiliel · 01-07-2004, 09:39 PM

What was the final score in the Orc-killing competition between Legolas and Gimli (in the movie)

**Nurvingiel** · 01-07-2004, 10:21 PM

Let's see... they kept it going at the Battle of Pelennor Fields... maybe they said 42-Gimli and 41-Legolas in the end, to match the books? As I recall it was slightly unfinished in TTT.

Christiana · 01-07-2004, 10:54 PM

Legolas-42
Gimili-43
its in TTT extended.

Question:how old is Aragorn supposed to be?

**Nurvingiel** · 01-07-2004, 11:03 PM

Erm... I just realized my retention from the movies isn't very good. 84?

And in addition Legolas shoots an Orc that Gimli killed and said "43". So it was 43-43 by Legolas's reckoning and 43-42 by Gimli's

Christiana · 01-08-2004, 01:32 AM

43. gimili rolls the "r" on "three"

87 at the beginning of the war of the ring

in ROTK what creatures could not be harmed by the weapons of the orcs or men?

Dúnedain · 01-08-2004, 08:07 PM

Just as a note you should wait to hear if you are correct by the person who asked the question before you go ahead and ask your's...

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen
