1. VERY close 2. yes 3. yes.
I'll give you a hint: Both of Elendil's son's names were related to the meaning of Narsil.

Don't know what Anarion means, but Isildur means 'devoted to the moon', and that made me think of white light which did ring a bell! So can it be Fire and White Light? It sounds familiar...

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:16 pm

Anarion means "of the Sun". Isildur means "devoted to the Moon", so Narsil means: Sun and Moon. Fire and White Light are close enough. Your go.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:23 pm

Ah thanks for the explanation Draugluin. I just realise the sil in Isildur is also in Ithildin, right? Anyway, I will put a new question up later.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:24 pm

And Ithilien, and Minas Ithil.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:50 pm

Yeah I knew about the Land of the Moon and Tower of the Moon.
Ok next question:

Who did allow the Hobbits to live in the Shire?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:27 am

King Argeleb II of Arnor

Meneldil · **Posted:** Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:28 am

Your turn!

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:20 pm

Tanks very much. My question is simple:

Who did the Witch-king challenge to a duel in Minas Morgul who never returned.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:44 pm

Eärnur

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:21 am

You are correct. Your turn Meneldil

Thanks.

Which three Dwarves were killed in the Second Hall in Moria during the attack of the Orcs in 2994?

General Elessar · **Posted:** Tue Jan 24, 2012 3:54 pm

This is a guess: Balin, Ori, and Nori?

"... They have taken the bridge and the second hall. Frar and Loni and Nali fell there."

I assume this is what you mean (a good lawyer would argue that this could mean one or more of the three fell at the Bridge, not in the second hall).

Meneldil · **Posted:** Tue Jan 24, 2012 8:50 pm

Yes, that's what I meant, I always thought about it as if they fell in the Second Hall, but I see your point.
Anyway, well done and it's your turn now.

Who were the Drûg and with what people did they live?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Jan 30, 2012 4:57 pm

They are the Druedain or Woses, small stunted humans who dwell in the Druadan Forest, led by Ghan-buri-ghan, who helped the Rohirrm to arrive at Pelennor Fields.

Very, very close, but no.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:52 pm

They were the Druedain. Though some lived in the Druadan Forest, some used to live with the Numenorians in Numenor
