Thank you.
 Who was King of Arthedain when King Ondoher of Gondor and his sons were killed in battle with the Wainriders, leaving Gondor without a clear heir to the throne? |

Araphant was the King of Arthedain at the time, but Arvedui made claim for the throne of Gondor

You're CORRECT!!! I was hoping someone would say 'Arvedui' because of him claiming the throne (Hey! What's the point of a 'trick question' if you don't trick anyone!??
).For those not 'in the know', Arthedui made the claim while 'crown prince' because he was married to Firiel, daughter of Ondoher... so that their son (Aranarth) was a grandson of Ondoher. Your turn, Dunedain. |

Oops! Didn't read your question close enough, Dunedain - if I'm correct on the name, I think Nurvingiel is close enough - and she got the second part...

She's close, but the first name is wrong
Val had the name right, but I'll give it to Nurvingiel

I should have just stolen his correct name from your post!
Thanks Valandil. I'll be home at my copy of RotK and the Appendecies in an hour, so I'll ask you a question then! (Thanks for letting me have it.)

Ok let's stay on a relatively similar topic then
What is the word in the Black Speech that means 'man of Gondor'?

"Tark", a debased form of "tarkil", which is a Quenya word used in Westron for one of Numenorean descent.

How exactly are Frodo and Merry related, and through whom?
