What was different about the palantir at Emyn Beraid?

Count Comfect · 03-08-2004, 04:39 PM

It always showed the sea?

Not exactly...

Count Comfect · 03-08-2004, 04:50 PM

IIRC, specifically where Numenor used to be?

Yes, to the west, to Tol Eresea, I think.

Radagast... you nailed it perfectly, but I was about to give it to Count Comfect because he was quite close... and it's nice to get some more players in the game... would you mind?

I guess the main difference anyway, is that it couldn't look just anywhere, like the other palantiri... it was 'locked into' a westward gaze... 'straight' into the 'True West', not following the 'bent' earth, which I think is all very interesting (and a fun mythological explanation for how the earth became round!).

So... Count Comfect, ask away... just so it's OK with Radagast.

Oh, I don't care. I didn't want the turn anyway, just wanted to add for the answer.

I'm going to be playing anyway, since I love trivia, but I actually can't find my copy of the book (Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh) at the moment, so it is probably for the best if Radagast goes now to speed it up.

What did the dwarves do with the bodies of the dwarves that were killed after Azanulbizar?

***Earniel*** · 03-09-2004, 08:59 AM

*from memory* They couldn't bury them all so they burned the bodies. And (IIRC) Dwarves would later say with pride: "My father was a Burned Dwarf."

Radagast The Brown · 03-09-2004, 09:04 AM

Yes, you're right.

***Earniel*** · 03-09-2004, 09:13 AM

That means it's my turn, doesn't it?

*runs to room for appendices*

*hopes this hasn't been asked before recently*

Which ring became (supposedly) the ring of the House of Isildur?

Radagast The Brown · 03-09-2004, 09:36 AM

The one ring?

Radagast's try might be right... but I'm gonna say; 'The Ring of Barahir'

***Earniel*** · 03-09-2004, 01:08 PM

The High King is right! Your turn, Valandil.

uh-oh... I has started to wonder more and more, if the 'supposedly' was the tip pointing to 'The One Ring'!

Question coming soon.

***Valandil*** · 03-09-2004, 02:32 PM

What is a telco?

Twista · 03-09-2004, 02:34 PM

Twista, you are Good!!! I tried to pick something that would be hard to look up - that you'd about have to know. I figured one of our 'Elven-speakers' would get this one... but, YES, it's the 'stem' portion of the Tengwar letters!

Great job! Your turn is your reward...

Twista · 03-11-2004, 04:40 PM

Hmmm. Im too good for this game lol.

Ok Val, for wishing me a fake happy birthday lol :

Where and how was 'Walda' killed?
