Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
Ahem. Before I get people too excited about this, we have to find someone who has the LOTR Trivia Pursuit.
I hope someone out there has one who will be willing to host a good game. Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
Beren, you raise our hopes, then dash them on the moss-covered rocks! Alas, where will we find a LotR trivia game?

Angry at self for raising false hopes.
You would think someone named Beren One Hand would have a LOTR TP (at least TWO copies!).
Anyone with LOTR TP will get my:

If I had AIM and no exams I'd definately play.

Annie taught me this neat trick once: Use AIM Express!
The account is free and you do not have to download the software.

I got the LOTR trivial pursuit for Christmas. I left it at home when I came back here to college. Ask Mr. Funny if he'll get it out and have a trivia night.

Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
*bump*
I'm not missing it this time... as long as someone tells me when it is...
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Argh. Sorry guys. My friend went elsewhere and ditched me, so likely no trivia tonight... Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
Let's just throw out obscure facts we know and see if anyone can answer it.
What was Aragorn's horse named? (his horse in the book, not Brego the wonder horse from the movie. And no, I don't mean Hasufel that Eomer leant him - I mean Aragorn's own horse)
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
So how many names does Gandalf actually have?
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
Let's see...Olorin, Tharkun, Mithrandir, Gandalf...and one more, at least.
My final answer is five names.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Incanus is the other one I know. If you don't count variations of Gandalf ie. different last names.
Posted by aka (Member # 139) on :
Rathspell is what Wormtongue named him. Does that count? And Olorin is supposed to have an acute accent on the second 'o', I think, though I don't know how to do that, offhand.
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
Roheryn was Aragorn's horse, brought to him by his kin from the north. Hasufel (sp?) is the horse Eomer lend him.
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
Question:
Which king of Arnor (aka Arthedain) lost the ring of Barahir?
Posted by aka (Member # 139) on :
Human pointed out that it should have been "Lathspell" in my post above. I think he's right, though I don't have my books to fact-check.

What were the two names of of the two swords (other than Sting) found in The Hobbit?
What were those swords called by the goblins?
Who used each, and where did they end up at the end of the LOTR?
Bonus Questions: Where were they made, and for what purpose? By whom?
Posted by Javert (Member # 3076) on :
Orcrist and Glamdring. Biter and Beater. Thorin and Gandalf. (respectfully) Orcrist lay on Thorin's tomb at the lower levels of the Lonely Mountain. Glamdring, I believe, was taken by Gandalf when he left Middle-earth.
I believe they were made in Gondolin, for the Goblin Wars...but I'm not sure exactly by whom.
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
Ok the bonus is soooo easy, they were made in Gondolin by Telchar, (he made Narsil) for the wars against Morgoth, Glamdring was made for the King of Gondolin, and was lost after the father of dragons destoyed the city after the battle in which men saved the elves fomr destrucion by holding the pass against the orcs, the only race of men that survived were the Numenoreans, but I ramble, anyway, made in Gondolin, by Telchar, to kick some Morgoth ass, BTW Balrog count before LOTR Glamdring 3 Orcrist 5. Just some FYI

What was Elrond's brother's name? The one who founded the race of kings? Elwing popped into my head first, then I thought, no, that was his wife, Arwen's mother. But then I couldn't remember which was true and if so what the other one's name was.
Remind me of the story of the ring of Barahir. I can't remember it.
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
I think Elrond's brother was named Elros.
The ring of Barahir was given to Barahir (father of Beren ) by Finrod for saving his elven bacon in the Dagor Bragollach. The ring was cherished as one of the greatest treasures of the Numenoreans until who lost it?
Bonus point for knowing how the ring was saved from the grasp of the Witchking.

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
Question: What does it mean to be a "burned dwarf"?
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
To be a dwarf whose beard caught on fire obviously.
Posted by aka (Member # 139) on :
No, it's a mark of pride, because dwarves were normally entombed and never cremated, but the dead from some battle or other (which I can't remember) were so numerous or something that they had to cremate them, and ever after if it was said of some ancestor or other that "he was a burned dwarf" then it meant he was among the fallen in that battle.
Okay, so I remember the gist of the meaning, but forgot all the important details.
And Elros is right, yes! So Elwing was Arwen's mom and Galadriel's daughter? Is that true?
Man, why didn't I bring my Tolkien collection with me on the plane? I am going to go nuts not being able to look stuff up!

Better save that funny for clown school!

Question time chaps: When Feanor was captured by the Balrog company, Feanor killed many of them, the questions are.
