The Revived Tolkien Trivia

[Pyan]

Try this:

On whom did the Prophesy of the North mainly fall?

Quote not needed, but a book/chapter reference is, please.

 

[Boaz]

What is the Prophecy of the North, precious? Do you mean the Doom of Mandos or the Prophecy of Malbeth the Seer or something completely different?

 

[paranoid marvin]

Winter Is Coming?

 

[Pyan]

Nowt to do with Malbeth.
The Prophecy is what it is - if it was a doom, the question was on whom did it fall?

Go not to Pyan for counsel for he will answer both no and yes...

 

[Pyan]

Well, after forty days and forty nights...

It's in the Silmarillion, and it's a two-word answer...

 

[orilui]

The Noldor

 

[Pyan]

That's it, @orilui - it was the judgement of the Valar pronounced on the Elves that carried out the Kinslaying.

Your go...

How was Corollairë watered?

 

[Pyan]

Well, as no-one else has offered a solution, and it's been six months...

"Nienna pondered in silence and watered Ezellohar with her tears" - Ezellohar being another name for Corollairë, a small hill just outside the western gates of Valimar. Two saplings grew from the watered hill, which became the Two Trees of Valinor.

Silmarillion, "Quenta Silmarillion: Of the Beginning of Days"

Haven't seen @orilui for a couple of months, but hopefully we can get this going again...
