Thanks for the clarification.

turin had two sisters..i am sure there is two versions to this story..one is turn had a sister Laleth (spelling?) which meant laughter..she died by a disease spred by morgoth..turin lay in fever when she perished.

Please, somebody ask a question.

StrawberryIcecream · 05-21-2002, 12:33 PM

ok this is a tolkien quiz as well so...

What popular corparation could J.R.R Tolkien not stand and wanted to abolish all trace of?

barrelrider110 · 05-21-2002, 01:10 PM

Disney(?)

Blackheart · 05-21-2002, 01:44 PM

CORRECT!

i thought one was a really hard one! Ive only ever read it in one place! anyway overto you barrel

barrelrider110 · 05-21-2002, 03:25 PM

Just a lucky guess, or I may have read the same thing as you have. I scratched my head for some time with that one. The adjective "popular" was a clue.

Anyway, for a bit of Hobbit lore.

Lalia the Great, matriarch of the Tooks at the time of Bilbo's birthday party, was known by another, less courteous title.

What was it? (Hint- it prevented her from attending the party).

Actually, what I was looking for was the lable from the maps. Which was, appropriately enough, 'New Lands'. ]: )

Was it 'the fat'?

barrelrider110 · 05-22-2002, 07:57 AM

"Lalia the Fat" is correct!

Your turn, oh insufferable one.

Finrod Felagund · 05-25-2002, 04:14 PM

Since Wayfarer won't post...I will.

How old did Elros (Elron'd brother, first king of Numenor,) live to be?

Wayfarer · 05-25-2002, 04:20 PM

I couldn't think of a suitably difficult question.

Sorry.

The Ringbearer · 05-25-2002, 11:12 PM

Come on! Someone ask a question that I know or can find the answer to!

StrawberryIcecream · 05-26-2002, 06:05 AM

500 years.

Ñólendil · 05-26-2002, 07:51 PM

Where's the fun in that Ringbearer?

StrawberryIcecream, I guess it's your turn. In the mean time, I'll come up with one

Let's see, something difficult. ...

What did the Green-elves of Ossiriand call themselves?

Mirahzi · 05-26-2002, 08:00 PM

Was it the Laiquendi?

Finrod Felagund · 05-27-2002, 09:22 AM

Yes correct!
Your turn Mirahzi!

Radagast The Brown · 05-27-2002, 01:38 PM

Strawberry told me to do a question so here it goes (she said she is busy):

How many parts from Elros/Elrond are elf, maia and human? (if you didn't understand the question say so)
