Correct-amundo!

Your question?

Radagast The Brown · 11-11-2003, 04:49 PM

Who is the 13th governor (/leader/ruler)?

[of the Shire obviously]

***Valandil*** · 11-11-2003, 04:51 PM

Guess: was that Gerontius Took?

[EDIT: and in English, the word Tolkien uses is "Thain" - which is actually an Old Anglo-Saxon term... I note you seem hesitant about what to call it and wonder if it's just from not running across that term - and modern English being a second language, I imagine grasping it's historical roots is a little harder!

Radagast The Brown · 11-11-2003, 05:15 PM

Sorry - but you're wrong. (it was a Took though!)

***Valandil*** · 11-11-2003, 05:19 PM

Bull-roarer? Or was he one-and-the-same as Gerontius?

Radagast The Brown · 11-11-2003, 05:25 PM

I think Gerontius is Old Took? Anyway it's not Bull roar.

***Valandil*** · 11-11-2003, 05:27 PM

(as long as no one else is guessing...)

Isengrim II ?

Radagast The Brown · 11-11-2003, 05:31 PM

Nope.

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-11-2003, 07:30 PM

Isumbras I. Also the first of the Took line.

Dúnedain · 11-11-2003, 08:25 PM

I think Tuor is correct, that was gonna be my guess...

Radagast The Brown · 11-12-2003, 07:07 AM

Tuor is right.

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-12-2003, 10:34 AM

How old was Odo Proudfoot when he attended Bilbo's
eleventy-first Birthday Party?

Radagast The Brown · 11-12-2003, 10:54 AM

97 years?

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-12-2003, 12:01 PM

Yes! Your turn.

Radagast The Brown · 11-12-2003, 01:27 PM

Which King gave to the Priannath a land beyond the Baranduin? (the shire)

***Valandil*** · 11-12-2003, 01:35 PM

Argeleb I?

Radagast The Brown · 11-12-2003, 01:36 PM

Almost.

***Valandil*** · 11-12-2003, 01:38 PM

Argeleb II then?

Keith K · 11-12-2003, 01:56 PM

It is Argeleb II. I made a riddle about that recently.

***Valandil*** · 11-12-2003, 02:00 PM

Thanks. Since Radagast has left the building, I'll go ahead and post. (Hope you don't mind R the B!) Staying in the same family tree:

Which Chieftain of the Northern Dunedain was killed by wolves?

(gotta hate the thought of THAT! whether they were actually over-sized Timber Wolves or the giant Hyena-variety wargs from PJ's movie!)

Dúnedain High King of Númenórë Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Númenórë <--United States of America Posts: 1,947	I think Tuor is correct, that was gonna be my guess... __________________ 'Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. 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
