about how much time (in terms of months) passed between the fellowship leaving rivendell and aragorn's coronation

Is this specified in the book?

Spock · 10-06-2005, 08:29 PM

It may be figured out in the tables at the end but I'm too tired to look now. "L" you've got all that energy from serving java, go get 'em

Lotesse · 10-06-2005, 09:27 PM

Four months and 6 or 7 days? These calenders always screw me up.

***Valandil*** · 10-07-2005, 01:45 AM

OK - I remember that the Fellowship left Rivendell on December 25. Aragorn and Arwen were wed the following Mid-year's Day (about July 1, by those ME calendars) - but he was already King then. I'll guess his coronation was May 1 - so it would be about 4 months and maybe 8 days - since all the months have 30 days and we'd have had 2 Yule days just after Dec 30. So Lotesse is right about there... if I'm correct on the May 1 coronation.

brownjenkins · 10-07-2005, 01:06 PM

correct lotsy and val... i remembered the dates you mentioned val (more or less), so figured i'd ask for and "estimate"... which would be four months

you go lotesse

Lotesse · 10-09-2005, 01:22 PM

The Appendix ones are always hard, both to guess correctly AND to write. Hmmm.

What were the two names the Eldar called the solar year - one way considered astronomically, and one way when the seasonal changes in vegetation were primarily considered?

***Valandil*** · 10-09-2005, 04:39 PM

I'll have to team up with somebody on this one... I think their term for the astronomical one was 'loa' - meaning 'sun-round' or something like that. I don't recall the seasonal one (except that they observed six seasons instead of four, didn't they?).

Spock · 10-09-2005, 05:23 PM

OK, but either Lotesse or Val has to post the next question PLEASE.

Spock · 10-11-2005, 01:00 PM

Lotesse
Val

Will you two please watch this thread and keep it going for a few days.
I've got to refine some dilithium crystals.

Lotesse · 10-11-2005, 06:32 PM

Sure!

Val, you got the "loa" one right, now there's one more to get. It's specified in the Appendices.

Lotesse · 10-20-2005, 03:03 PM

Say, Spock, do you mind taking this right now, and give these folks a new question? I gotta run right now; haven't got time to research a new question. Valandil, I am surprised you couldn't get this last question!

You go Lotesse.

Lotesse · 10-23-2005, 10:23 PM

Thanx Spock - O.K., easy quickie -

Where did Aragorn go to lay down and die at, when his time came to pass away?

***Valandil*** · 10-24-2005, 05:33 AM

What was the name of that place... Rath Dinnen?

Finrod Felagund · 10-24-2005, 05:36 AM

The Minas Tirith Houses of the Dead. And Merry and Pippin were laid beside him.

Spock · 10-25-2005, 01:58 AM

I couldn't find "where" he was laid to rest, just that he was and the beds for M&P were placed next to him.
