Correct

And for the record, yes I did mean ranges. Just couldn't think of the word at the time.

The Elves gave a surname to Elendil, what was it and what was its meaning ?

DM · **Posted:** Sun Dec 07, 2008 7:34 am

Elendil Voronda. Elendil was called the Faithful - or Voronda in Quenya - because he remained faithful to the will of the Valar while most Numenoreans were corrupted.

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Mon Dec 08, 2008 1:55 am

Faithful or Steadfast, but correct all the same

Your turn

One would be forgiven for thinking that Sauron himself was the first being to settle in Mordor - however there was one before him. Who was this and what is the official name of residence?

Shelob was first, in Cirith Ungol, which was situated in the Mountains of Shadow.

Supere!

Here's one that's will hopefully have you reading back into your LOTR books.

What is the hobbit's call to arms in the scouring of the shire?

tirno.alyanorno · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 4:00 pm

"Fear, fire, foes!Awake!" or similar, possibly some repetition

Lord_Cicapha · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 7:50 pm

That was way to easy right?

I just like getting the answers right. I'm no good with the questions. :sad:

Your turn tirno

tirno.alyanorno · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 3:56 pm

what was unusual about the Gondorian host that Earnur took to the battle of Fornost?

Lord_Cicapha · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 6:58 pm

I believe it had Rhovanion cavalry units in it and in a larger scale the Gondorian regiment was considered small compared to their allied warhost of elves and dunedain.

Oh! It also contained the remaining warriors of Arnor in it

PS sorry for giving noone else a chance to answer.

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:45 am

You forgot to mention that there was also 'allegedly' (according to Hobbit lore), an accompaniment of Hobbit Archers who aided in the battle and were never heard from again.

tirno.alyanorno · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 3:55 pm

EDIT: oops, i'm sure i read somewhere that it was the greatest force of cavalry ever seen, but i can't find the proof anywhere. what i did find that i must have got confused with is the rhovanion cavalry, so your go Lord Cicapha :oops:
