The Revived Tolkien Trivia

[Marky Lazer]

Lorien (2) The land ruled by Celeborn and Galadriel between the rivers Celebrant and Anduin. Probably the original name of this land was altered to the form of the Quenya name Lorien of the gardens of the Vala Irmo in Valinor.

The Silmarillion, Index.

Good try, but not what I'm looking for I'm afraid.

 

[Marky Lazer]

Tolkien has many names for it... I guess you mean the following then:

'Do not risk getting entangled in the woods of Laurelindorenan! That is what the Elves used to call it, but now they make the name shorter: Lothlorien.'

The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers III, Ch. IV Treebeard

 

[Kissmequick]

Indeed that was it!

I consider that a win on the hard question front even though it obviously wasn't for you lol

 

[Sephiroth]

Ah, beaten to it! I was going to say Lindórinand, from 'The History of Galadriel and Celeborn', in Unfinished Tales. Oh well..............






*skulks off*

 

[Marky Lazer]

We can't use Unifinished Tales, Seph...

What's the Entish word for orcs?

 

[Kissmequick]

er this?

I am against them altogether: these - burarum--orcs
LOTR , Treebeard.

also

There was a great inrush of those, burárum, those evileyed - blackhanded - bowlegged - flinthearted - clawfingered - foulbellied - bloodthirsty, morimaite - sincahonda, hoom, well, since you are hasty folk and their full name is as long as years of torment, those vermin of orcs

Lotr, Many Partings

from that I assume that burarum is orcs

 

[Marky Lazer]

I was looking for the morimaitesincahondo

 

[Kissmequick]

But that's Quenyan for blackhanded flint hearted , isn't it?

Anyway my last question for now

who was asked this?

'Doest thou desire all the world for thy belly?'

 

[Marky Lazer]

'What wouldst thou have more?' said Morgoth. 'Dost thou desire all the world for thy belly? I did not vow to give thee that. I am its lord.'

The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Ch. IX Of the Flight of the Noldor

 

[Kissmequick]

indeed

And time for me to go

*waves*

 

[Marky Lazer]

What treasures did Bilbo keep in his house after his adventure?

 

[paranoid marvin]

His sword he hung over the mantelpiece.His coat of mail arranged on a stand in the hall (until he lent it to a museum).His gold and silver was largely spent on presents..and of course his magic Ring



From the final chapter of The Hobbit

 

[Marky Lazer]

That'll do! Your turn to ask a question, Paranoid Marvin.

 

[paranoid marvin]

"**** are not kindly birds.Some are cowardly and cruel.

What kind of bird?

 

[Sephiroth]

Ah, no Unfinished Tales, then. I thought it was just HoME that was off-limits.

Eagles are not kindly birds. Some are cowardly and cruel. But the ancient race of the northern mountains were the greatest of all birds; they were proud and strong and noble-hearted. They did not love goblins, or fear them.

Truth accepted

 

[Sephiroth]

Righto:

'Do they run like deer clad only in their hair?'

Who asks this of whom, and what are the consequences?

 

[Pyan]

On a time, when Túrin was grown to manhood and returned to Doriath from war with the Orcs, he came to dinner with the King. There Saeros insulted him, saying, "If the Men of Hithlum are so wild and fell, of what sort are the women of that land? Do they run like deer clad only in their own hair?" At this, Túrin abandoned his restraint and threw a drinking vessel at Saeros, wounding him.

Silmarillion - Quenta Silmarillion - Chapter 21 - Of Túrin Turambar.

 

[Sephiroth]

Exactly. Over to you, Your Greenness.
