Actually, no. I don't have the book with me right now. You may ask the question because really I'm not sure.

I think it's only mentoined in Appendix B, LotR. There are no dates in the Silmarillion.

Well, I didn't really want to keep you waiting.

*After thinking a while* Ehmmm... I don't get it. Sorry.

Are you going to ask another question? Or did you say I would?

The horse of Oromë was named Nahar, his coat it is said would show as white in the sun and shine silver at night.

(Similarities to Shadowfax are close, no?)

I hope this question is understandable its the only semi-difficult one I can think of.
How many wounds did Sauron receive in the entirety of the Silmarillion? As well as where and how, or by whom?

Meaning in the whole book wherever he was mentioned how many lasting wounds did he receive.

Hm, he got one by Ungoliantë when he didn't give her his gems (if you cound suffocation, that is), seven by Fingolfin in their duel before Angband (in the legs, I believe) and one by Gwaihir right after that duel. (In addition to wounded pride when Lúthien stole his prrrecious gem. )

That's all I can think of right now...unless, of course, you count the mentioning of him having his arms, legs and head cut off in Morgoth's Ring (before they threw him into the void).

But didn't he say 'Sauron' Falagar? You're counting Morgoth's.... thought Halbarad probably did mean Morgoth anyway.

Do'h

*cough* Yeah, ok: Sauron was wounded by Huan once on Tol Sirion (aka Tol en Gaurhoth) when Lúthien came for Beren; that's all I can remember on Sauron...unless you include the Akallabeth and Of the Rings of Power in "The SIlmarillion" as well.

Which reminds me I really need to reread the Silm.

I was in fact refering to Sauron not Morgoth and as I recall there was more than one wound inflicted. Yet the answer of Morgoth is quite nice, I will award Falagar correct... your go...

I didn't really earn this but I'll take it anyway then.


I'm afraid this is a particulary easy question, but I can't come up with anything better right now: What's the meaning of 'Sauron'?

Sauron means The Abhorred, which in turn is defined as to regard with extreme repugnance!!!

Woops, Rad got it first, oh well

Who was the tallest of all the Children of Iluvatar? (meaning Elves and Men; and Dwarves if you want. But not Valar or Maiar.)
