OOPS!

brownjenkins is correct (as Dunedain is well aware).

brownjenkins · 11-27-2003, 05:38 PM

i'm going to try a general series trivia question, since i don't have any good appendix ones in mind (or the book in front of me), and don't like to hold things up for too long

over the course of LoTR who has ridden on a horse with gandalf?

Diamond of Long Cleeve · 11-27-2003, 07:03 PM

Cute question. Do you mean on the same horse? Pippin did, notably. Were there others?

Cirdan · 11-27-2003, 07:56 PM

Merry also... before the Palantir incident. And Faramir, after being wounded, I think.

Diamond of Long Cleeve · 11-27-2003, 08:12 PM

Ah yes. And Gimli - from Fangorn to Meduseld.

brownjenkins · 11-28-2003, 10:06 AM

nice teamwork... i'd tend to give the next question to diamond, since i find gimli is usually forgotten the most (though faramir is a close second)

Dúnedain · 12-01-2003, 03:19 PM

Ummmm ok, so ask the next question...

And remember this is "Appendix Trivia"...

Keith K · 12-02-2003, 10:34 PM

Where did Gandalf first meet Thorin?

Bacchus · 12-02-2003, 10:56 PM

In Bree (presumably at the Pony, although i don't think that this is explicitly stated)

What two important Hobbit families trace their lineage to Sam?

cassiopeia · 12-03-2003, 01:30 AM

The Gamgees and the Cottons?

Keith K · 12-03-2003, 08:07 AM

I think the Fairbairns were one.

Bacchus · 12-03-2003, 11:00 AM

Fairbarns are indeed one. Gamgee and Cotton are not what I'm looking for.

Keith K · 12-03-2003, 11:41 AM

I can't remember the other family. I will have to look it up.

Radagast The Brown · 12-03-2003, 04:51 PM

Gardner? (Gardnar, maybe?)

Bacchus · 12-03-2003, 05:02 PM

Fairbairn and Gardener are correct

cassiopeia · 12-03-2003, 09:05 PM

Duh, I knew that. Misread the question.

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.
