50/50 guess

Okay, name the three men who married Eldarin elves

gaarew · **Posted:** Tue Aug 19, 2008 9:44 pm

There are four such recorded marriages in Tolkien canon: Beren and Lúthien, Idril and Tuor, Aragorn and Arwen, and Mithrellas and the first Lord of Dol Amroth.

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Tue Aug 19, 2008 9:58 pm

The first 3 were the ones I was looking for, I've never heard of the other. You know too much, fire away!

Edit: according to wikipedia

Mithrellas was a Silvan Elf. I was looking for Eldarin, now who's ya daddy?!

:lol:

He played the role of Gollum in the Toronto premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Musical.

Due to a 'No Show' for the last 22 days by Amarthadan ...
New Question...

I consumed Isildur, then I consumed Smeagol, then I tried to consume Bilbo & Frodo Baggins...but what consumed me inbetween for more than 2000 years :?:

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 12:31 pm

Hmm interesting riddle, I guess this is about the Ring, as it did consume Isildur and Smeagol and almost Bilbo and Frodo. It was 'consumed' by the River Anduin when Isildur lost it at the ambush of the Gladden Fields.

Oops sorry about that.

River Anduin?

Captain Ingold · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 5:47 pm

Who built the Elvish City of Lothlorien and how did he die?

gaarew · **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:23 pm

Lothlorien is a therapeutic community for people with mental health problems, situated in a quiet rural setting in South West Scotland

Still, I'll say Amdir, and he died at the Battle of Dagorlad, over the area now known as the Dead Marshes.

Cause of death? Either drowning or being chopped up into little pieces.

Close, but he founded Lothlorien, not their chief city, and yes he got chopped into lots of little pieces at the Battle of Dagorlad. Look at the question again :wink:

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Wed Sep 24, 2008 4:29 am

I think your question is misleading as 'Lothlorien' is a place that was 'named' and not built.
In response to Gaarew, you state 'Chief City', which is 'Caras Galadhon'.
Some state the following....
Caras Galadhon was constructed by 'Amroth', who drowned in the Bay of Belfalas when he thought he saw his beloved at the quays by diving from his ship.
However...
ARDA states...

Quote:

Beyond this, Tolkien makes no definite reference to the creation of Caras Galadhon. One workable theory is that it was built to guard Lórien from the threat of Dol Guldur across the Great River. If this is correct, the tree-city would have appeared in about the year III 1050, the time when Dol Guldur was built. It should be emphasised that there is no specific evidence for this dating, but it does seem to fit well within the historical context.

Yup, I have. It still doesn't say chief city...

Lothlorien was the wood they lived in, the elves that started to live there were called the Teleri, who were reluctant to cross the White Mountains and remained to live there.

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Wed Sep 24, 2008 4:37 pm

Okay maybe I shouldn't have chosen Elves, never have been my strong point. I didn't write 'chief', because Tolkien (to my knowledge) doesn't name any other city in Lothlorien. The only one I know is Caras Galadhon.

Sorry for the confusion, but Brian has the answer I was looking for, Amroth and drowned
