There, there. Apparently I can’t count, so we can both be twits. sighs at another number discrepancy
Maura and Bilba.
Correct, but there is one more if anyone wants to answer that. Don’t forget to ask questions, too!
Wait…same people but I think the more accepted name was the Snowmen of Lossoth.
What people sheltered the last king of Arnor after that realm fell?
Ice Men of Forochel.
When the Goblins assaulted Father Christmas’ house who crushed and squeezed the goblins? {Yes this is a real Tolkien Question}
Oin and Gloin!
What people sheltered the last king of Arnor after that realm fell?
The Snow People [Lossoth] of the Ice Bay of Forechel <sp>
What did the Rohirrim name Orome?
Bema
What caused the Kin-strife of Gondor?
Can’t remember any of the names but, the Heir of the King married a woman of non-Numenorean blood, their child was not recognized as King.
Maura and Froda are both correct. The former didn’t appear until HOMES, the latter can be found the LOTR appendices. I’m unaware of any other name for Bilbo than the masculine “Bilba”.
BTW, my LOTR movie page-a-day calendar for today (Good Friday) shows Theoden’s son Theodred being carried into his tomb. Coincidence? I wonder if Sunday’s (Easter) shows him walking out with a big grin: “I’m baaaaaaaaaaack!”
Yeah, he took an arrow thru the eye. Ouch.
How is this possible? I thought the Istari didn’t show up in Middle Earth until c.1100 of the Third Age?
BTW bmoak got question 123 about the pyromaniac dwarves correct.
??
Yes, but Isildur died at the beginning of the Third Age. Dead, converted to bones, Saruman shows up, looks for ring, finds bones.
Think Archaeology!
After Saruman began to desire the One Ring for himself, he set about searching for it where he knew Isildur fell and found his bones, presumably, that being the only parts of him that would still be around. He also found the Star of Elendil, which Isildur was wearing when he was killed. I think its light is what allowed the orcs to see him, after the ring slipped from his finger, but I’m not sure. It was later found in Orthanc after Saruman’s demise. The Star of Elendil that Aragorn had was a copy made for Valandil, Isildur’s son, in Rivendell. This information is found in Unfinished Tales, I believe.
I am sure this will now jog someone else’s memory. I can see the passage in the Appendix, but can’t remember the exact words.
Sorry, close but no cigar. Banakil is the Westron name for hobbits.
I have no idea on the actual answer, but I think Samwise = foolish (semi-wise), and Hamfast = stay-at-home.
Exactly. So Saruman finds the bones of one particular person who died on a battlefield 1100 years previously? That would be like finding the bones of Harold, today, at the site of the battle of Hastings.
:dubious: That’s some archaeology.
Arien that’s my point, I don’t think the bones would be around a millenium later, unless they were somehow mummified. From what we know about the manner of Isildur’s death that doesn’t seem possible.
I think there is a reason why some of these tales remained unfinished.
Hey, it’s magic! A wizard did it.
