That's it. You're next.

(And looking at the question, it may have been worded too ambiguously, since the Horn was sounded to commemorate the Nov. 2 sounding, not a Battle in Rohan).

who led the dunlendings against the rohirrim just before the long winter?

***Valandil*** · 11-07-2003, 10:18 AM

Wulf, son o' Frecca

brownjenkins · 11-07-2003, 10:47 AM

correct plus

***Valandil*** · 11-07-2003, 10:15 PM

Who gave Arvedui his name - and why?

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-07-2003, 11:54 PM

Malbeth the Seer. Because he predicted that he would be the last king of Arthedain, although the prediction had an op-opt clause (if the Dunedain picked him as kingof Gondor).

***Valandil*** · 11-08-2003, 06:03 AM

Correct! Your go...

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-08-2003, 10:14 AM

Okay:
If you received a letter from a hobbit how could you tell whether the sender was male or female? You don't know the hobbit, you have no picture, and the body of the letter doesn't have any information as to the gender of the writer.

Keith K · 11-10-2003, 11:24 AM

You could tell from the name of the sender. If it was a flower or jewel name then the sender is female. Also, if the name ended in an "a" then it was a male sender. If the name ended in "o" or "e" then it was a female sender.

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-10-2003, 11:27 AM

Correct. Your turn.

Keith K · 11-10-2003, 11:43 AM

What appeared in southern Mirkwood in the Third Age that had never been seen before?

***Valandil*** · 11-10-2003, 02:18 PM

A tower (er... Dol Gulder or something like that?) on the bare hill?

Say - on that previous one: I knew about the flowers, but not the jewels... but is that right about name endings? Frodo, Bilbo and Samwise end with "o" or "e" and are male names - while Lobelia ends with "a" and is a female...???

First of all it is not the tower. Secondly, concerning the names, they are Anglicized versions. In the true Westron speech (or at least the Hobbit version thereof) those rules apply.

i remember something about a new race of trolls in southern mirkwood

A new race of trolls? Really? What were they called?

brownjenkins · 11-10-2003, 03:12 PM

could be wrong... i'll have to check tonight... thought there was some passage about orcs or trolls appearing for the first time (in that location, is how i always took it to mean)

***Valandil*** · 11-10-2003, 03:16 PM

I THINK those trolls were "Olag-hai" - were you just curious - or was that the answer you were looking for?

Keith K · 11-10-2003, 03:17 PM

That was the answer I was looking for.

***Valandil*** · 11-10-2003, 03:27 PM

Name the dwarf king who founded Erebor.

Thrain (the first)?
