Return of the King

[Drake Tungsten]

At least I'm correct... which is more than I can say for you.

I said the same thing as you...

[Agathon]

Here's a couple of Tolkien questions.

Who forged Sting?

Why is Sauron's ram called "Grond"?

What relation does Elrond bear to Tar-Minyatur?

What are the three main divisions of Elvenkind?

By what name is Ereinion better known?

[Agathon]

Here's a harder one.

Who dealt Sauron his first defeat as Dark Lord?

[Imran Siddiqui]

I said the same thing as you...

Who says I was just talking about that one question?

[Drake Tungsten]

Who dealt Sauron his first defeat as Dark Lord?

Well, Isildur struck him down, but Sauron had been defeated once before when Numenor was swallowed up in the Valar's wrath after the forces of Ar-Pharazon (IIRC) landed in Valinor. So I'd go with the Valar...

I think Elendil got a crack at him before Isildur as well, but I don't remember the timeline exactly.

[yavoon]

who else thinks that isildur should have throw the sword and cut off the whole hand?? I mean c'mon thats atleast half as cheesy as what was depicted.

[Drake Tungsten]

Who forged Sting?

The Noldor of Gondolin.

Why is Sauron's ram called "Grond"?

I don't remember.

What relation does Elrond bear to Tar-Minyatur?

Brothers. Tar-Minyatur was Elwing, Elrond the half-Elven's brother, IIRC. Elwing chose to become a man and became Tar-Minayatur, the first king of Numenor. Elrond chose to be an Elf, obviously.

What are the three main divisions of Elvenkind?

Noldor, Teleri and Vanyar for the high elves. For elves in general, it's the high elves who went to Valinor, gray elves who went to Beleriand but didn't go to Valinor (like the elves of Doriath) and green elves like Legolas, I think.

By what name is Ereinion better known?

Hell if I know...

Nope. Ar-Pharazon takes him back in bondage to Numenor before any of those things happen. Sauron admits defeat without a sword being drawn once he sees the might of Ar-Pharazon's army.

And Isildur does not strike him down AFAIK. He is slain by Gil Galad and Elendil and Isildur cuts the ring off the defeated Sauron.

It's not clear how that fight goes although only Isildur, Cirdan and Elrond stand by. Gil Galad is killed by Sauron's fiery grasp.

Correct.

I don't remember.

It's named after Morgoth's hammer.

Excellent

Almost right, but that's my fault. I forgot the Avari (unwilling).

Gil Galad.

Gil Galad.

whats the prize? ur virginity back?

[Drake Tungsten]

Dammit. I had Ar-Pharazon written down at first, but then I remembered how Sauron corrupted him and ensured his destruction, so I changed my answer...

Still, not too bad.

[Agathon]

Here's some more.

What were the two main Numenorean havens in Middle Earth?

What are the two elf havens marked on the map of Middle Earth?

Name Melkor's three strongholds.

Which former resident of Nargothrond does Frodo meet in "Lord of the Rings"?

Who is "Darkmoon" better known as?

Who is Banazir Galpsi?

[Agathon]

Actually I should take marks off, Drake.

Tar-Minyatur's given name is "Elros". Elwing was his mother. Not a big deal though.

[Agathon]

More:

Name two unwinged dragons.

What do Dain's troops carry in the Hobbit?

Who is Annatar?

What happens to the Silmarils?

Who finds arms at Vinyamar?

[Drake Tungsten]

Now you're just getting ridiculous. Oh well, I'll do what I can.

What were the two main Numenorean havens in Middle Earth?

I'm pretty sure Umbar was one. Don't remember the other one.

What are the two elf havens marked on the map of Middle Earth?

The Grey Havens. There's another one at the mouth of Anduin, but the name escapes me. Andurail or something like that, maybe?

Name Melkor's three strongholds.

Thangodrim is the only one I can remember.

Which former resident of Nargothrond does Frodo meet in "Lord of the Rings"?

Either Galadriel or Cirdan. I'm gonna go with Galadriel.

Who is "Darkmoon" better known as?

Beren? Just a guess.

Who is Banazir Galpsi?

Good lord. Maybe the dwarf Turin Turambur lived with for a while?
