Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ, Then they stamp, Then they stand still. Gollums answer: "Chestnuts, Chestnuts!"

Er, that's a tough question to answer without looking it up -- all that one has learned about Numenor, Eressea and Valinor gets in the way. And it was only mentioned very briefly in "The Hobbit," wasn't it?
Just a guess: in the West? |

Its an oblique refernce to Valinor I figure...thoguh I don't whether Valinor as such existed in '37.

If that was a guess, Lady of Ithilien, it was a darn good one.
The brief reference is to the wood elves, [paraphrase] who unlike the high elves, never journeyed to Fairie in the west.

![]() Thanks, barrelrider 110! It was indeed a guess, but afterwards I spent an enjoyable couple of hours going back through and trying to find the reference - it wasn't easy. Was surprised to see it was exact . . . it's like a song, I guess: parts of the "lyrics" come back to you now and again.
Anyway, earlier I did just sort of jump in without answering a question and so have only just caught up. The turn passes to the next poster --- Last edited by The Lady of Ithilien : 08-21-2002 at 04:04 PM. |

Nobody in 24 hours? OK, then . . .
Here goes --
We all know about the elephants (Sam's Oliphaunts) in LOTR. Where can one find elephants (at least mention of them) in The Hobbit? |

I do remember a reference to elephants, not "oliphants"... elephants. Where it is in the book I havn't a clue. Now where did I put my old copy of TH or a better question is, who "borrowed" it? Hmmm.

![]() Hmm. OK, name four species of birds who converse with characters in The Hobbit. (Hint: Am not counting Thranduil's informants, as no particular species is mentioned, and also not Beorn's owls, with whom he no doubt could talk, because we never see them hoo-hoo'ing back and forth.) |

Oops!
I withdraw the question -- Christiana answered it first, and I missed her post until my own had gone up.
Sorry, Christiana! |

![]() Crow it is -- Balin commented that they had been calling Bilbo and the dwarves bad names as they explored near The Mountain's front gate. I think that gives you the right to ask two questions, if you want.

Nobody's posted for a while and I really like this game so I'm gonna ask a question, if nobody minds...
What was distinctive about Thror and Thrain when Thorin met them after Smaug's coming to the Lonely Mountain? (Particularly their dwarfish traits)
