Tolkien/Middle Earth Quiz!!!
Inspired, I've decided to start two quizzes, one here on Tolkien knowledge and one in the General Messages forum on General Knowledge.
If you've seen first line(s) in the general literature forum you'll know the kind of format. Ask a question, people have guesses at answering it, after three incorrect guesses, a hint, after three further incorrect questions, the answer and another question by the same person. If someone guesses right then the original question giver says, "correct"(or something to that effect) and the correct answer giver carries on with a new question. All questions have to be Middle Earth related. Happy Middle Earth quizzing!! I'll begin... What is Gandalf's real Isitari name?

I don't know his real name...
...but I know that his name while in Aman (in elvish) is Olorin. I think that's the name you are looking for, anyway. |

The most powerful?
Well the wisest of the maiar is Olorin. Osse seems pretty powerful. Sauron (Melkor not Valar Serving) was also very powerful. (obviously) The greatest in arms was Eonwe, Manwe's herald, hes my guess. Alright, what are the names of the blue wizards. (Valinor Names) and of Saruman and Radagast in Valinor?

Oh well. I'm not sure if Tolkien is clear on this subject - which means we don't really have a definitive answer, but.......
.....I was thinking of Eonwe, he who headed the host of the Valar against Morgoth in the War of Wrath. Therefore, if I am correct (how strange, the questioner guessing answers to his own questions...), then the floor is yours, Finrod. If I am incorrect, then maybe someone can clear it up for me... |

Probably correct on the Eonwe thing. Certainly if "powerful" is "one with most authority"

The one issued the challenge was Earnur but the witch-king issued the challenge, not Khamul.
Who was the mother of Fili and Kili (Thorin's sister)?

I thought that individual who answered the question correctly would be next to ask a question.
