The Revived Tolkien Trivia

Absolutely and perfectly correct.

I checked something after I posed my last. The answers to certain kinds of question in this thread are easily found by doing a Google search. Not that I suspect anyone, mind. I just need to set better questions.

Pyan, the floor is yours...

Perfectly true, Clansman...but when you've read the Ring as many times as I have (about 40, no kidding), some questions just make you say "Aha!!":p

Not that you're saying anyone would Google the answers, of course....:D

Anyway...

Who stumbled, "cursing the tree-roots"?
 
A tall figure loomed up and stumbled over him, cursing the tree-roots. He recgnized the voice of the Marshal, Elfhelm.
'I am not a tree-root, sir,' he said, 'nor a bag, but a bruised hobbit. The least you can do in amends is to tell me what is afoot.'

LOTR, ROTK, Ch. V: The Ride of the Rohirrim
 
Of course it was, and here's your bell *ting*

I certainly never suspected you. I have only read LOTR 8 times :eek:, and I have stood in awe of your recall of detail many times before.

I just know that I have to get better at posing the questions.
 
Thank you, old green one...

What doesn't belong to mortals?

Edit: I guess more answers are possible here -- just surprise me!
 
Come on, Pyan. Your followers are depending on you for this one (I, for one, am stumped).
 
Well, I was hoping someone else would have a stab at it, at least...:D

It's the Ring itself...

Frodo and Faramir are talking about Isildur's Bane, somewhere in Ithilien:
(Faramir) 'It is hidden, you say: but is that not because you choose to hide it?'
'No, not because I choose,' answered Frodo.'It does not belong to me. It does not belong to any mortal, great or small: though if any could claim it, it would be Aragorn son of Arathorn......

LotR - TT - Ch. V - The Window on the West.
 
Yeah, I thought it wasn't such a hard nut to crack...

You're to go, bell-covered monster :)
 
At least he didn't use the words "Hoots", "Och aye", or "Jimmy", Ace!:D

Right, then...

Apart from the Nine Walkers, who else "stood by Balin's tomb in Moria"?
 
Tolkien self, of course...

In spite of the darkness of the next five years I found that the story could not now be wholly abandoned, and I plodded on, mostly by night, till I stood by Balin's tomb in Moria.

LOTR Foreword
 
Apologies for any offence, Ace. Though not born in Scotland, my descent is purely Scottish (Canada ended up with a lot of Scotsmen during the first wave of settlement after the American Revolution), and I am in fact an actual clansman (Siol Fhearchar, No Fhiunnla' -- Farquharson) by descent. I also bear a thoroughly gaelic name (Angus Findlay). The statement was meant to be self-deprecating.
