You'd change your mind REAL quick if you were the KING of Gondor!!

I think the English word you want is 'picky'!

hellu. i belive it's my turn to post. well, let's see then. i must say, it's been a loooong time since last i've read something in the appendix, or in the book as a whole for that matter.

what was the third trouble which imapaired Gondors lacking forces for almost hundred years?

Rosie Gamgee · 11-08-2004, 03:10 PM

Um, your question is kind of vague, so I'm guessing in the dark, but, maybe, that really long Winter. It had a name, but it just left my brain (sneaky facts- they use the back door and I can't keep track)

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-08-2004, 03:14 PM

I think you mean The Fell Winter but that was in The Shire.

Invasion fomr Umbar?

Rosie Gamgee · 11-08-2004, 03:24 PM

No, no, there was a really long winter that hit all of Middle Earth. Gondor suffered really bad, and I think somebody important (like a prince or something) in Rohan died or something.

your on to something with the Umbar invasion. but not exactly.

***Valandil*** · 11-08-2004, 04:54 PM

I think pytt is asking about the Third of the Three Evils. If this helps, the first two were:

1. The Kin-slaying (mid 1400's TA)

2. The Great Plagues (mid 1600's TA)

3. ??

Rosie is correct in that there was a 'Long Winter' distinct from the 'Fell Winter' - and it was that winter when Rohan had unrest and Helm Hammerhand died... but that (and the Fell Winter) were both about 1000 years (give or take) after #3 above.

And I don't think either the Long Winter or the Fell Winter had too much direct impact on Gondor.

Pytt · 11-08-2004, 05:05 PM

yes, valandil has got it! i'm asking for the third evil. what was it?

Rosie Gamgee · 11-08-2004, 05:09 PM

The War of the Ring? (this whole 'three evils' thing is in the Appendix?

)

Pytt · 11-08-2004, 05:12 PM

no, it is not the war of the ring. and yes, it is in the appendix.

Radagast The Brown · 11-08-2004, 05:14 PM

The wainriders?

Pytt · 11-08-2004, 05:30 PM

and we got a winner! your turn, radagast!

Radagast The Brown · 11-08-2004, 05:37 PM

In which war were the last descendants of Castamir killed?

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-09-2004, 03:16 AM

Not sure what it's called if it has a name, but was it between Angmar and Arthedain?

Radagast The Brown · 11-09-2004, 05:06 PM

It didn't have a name - but it's definitely not between Angmar and Arthedain. And I'm looking for the name of the King that ruled in this war, by the way...

matthew · 11-13-2004, 04:39 PM

Wasn't it just a that gondorish civil war? And the king was Earnil or Earnur whatever (I can never keep them straight). I'm prob. not right, if I am, I won't be back in a while so you can go without me...

Radagast The Brown · 11-13-2004, 05:39 PM

No, not in the civil war. The civil were Castamir was alive - he was the reason for the war, wanted to rule Gondor. His supporters fled to Umbar, IIRC. His son(s) too.

I'm looking for his last descendant.

He died in a war.

***Valandil*** · 11-22-2004, 02:00 PM

Rad - are you sure the war had a name? (I didn't look it up yet, just don't recall a name from memory)

Radagast The Brown · 11-22-2004, 03:58 PM

I said it didn't have a name.

I wanted the name of the King of Gondor, not the war, that in his days the last descendant of Castamir was killed.

Really? But THIS was your question:

You say 'in which war'... Silly boy!

We'll have to get you for THAT one!

Which KING then... I'll start by guessing Calimehtar!
