The Revived Tolkien Trivia

A bell for Cece - and an extra award for " continuing under extremely frustrating circumstances"....

Your go!
 
I think that this actually was a continuity error for Tolkien, but who cares? Great question, eight-legged one.
 
hmmmm....I have two and can't decide which to ask so I will lay them both on the table and whoever answers either one correctly gets the bell.

1.2xtall
3x3
They from land
Over sea
7x7+1

Find the verse this riddle refers to.

2. who besides sauron is referred to as "the lord of the ring" ?
 
Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree.

"What are you saying, Gandalf?" asked Pippin
"I was just running over some of the Rhymes of Lore in my mind," answered the wizard.

An eminently reasonable idea for a new thread, Ce. I'm not a great riddler, but would give it a spin...
 
Come on...it's just a name I want...and a quote...:p
 
Ah...not who I had in mind, but I'll give you that! Ding!

(in truth, I'd forgotten about the umbrella-borrowing Adelard Took...:eek:)

Your go, Cece...:)
 
Ah..you think I'm going to tell everyone the answer to a ready-made question?:D

I think I know but i'm saving it until you ask it again....

ok.

search the history of arda and find me names and quotes regarding three pivotal animal characters without whom evil would have triumphed and their friends would have died.


(this should be easy but i'm strapped for time and it's the best i've got)
 
After the great Crash of October 08....

To save us going though all the questions that have already been asked, we'll restart with a completely new one...:D

Egad! YOU caused the crash because you couldn't answer Grim's question and you wanted to be the next to ask one! :eek:


Grim, what was the answer? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
 
Sees an opportunity to kill two birds (argh! an awful pun, as we will see!) with one stone (as opposed to an arrow).

First, the quote for black opposing silver:

'Whether I came in time or not is yet to be seen,' said Gandalf. 'But as for your gift, lord, I will choose one that will fit my need: swift and sure. Give me Shadowfax! He was only lent before, if loan we may call it. But now I shall ride him into great hazard, setting silver against black: I would not risk anything that is not my own....'

Now for Pyan's question:

As a matter of fact Gandalf, who had often been in the mountains, had once rendered a service to the eagles and healed their lord from an arrow-wound.

I suspect that Grimmy's sharp eye and ability to see afar has got the answer I'm looking for...:D
