Thanks Pasi (valpas). Sorry for the slight delay people.

What does Tol-in-Gaurhoth mean and who was its commander?

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:00 am

Tol-in-Gaurhoth means "Isle of the Werewolves" and it was commanded by Sauron (please be right, please be right....) :pray:

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:25 am

Yes, you are correct Sir Richard, it is Sauron's Isle of Werewolves. Your turn. :yay:

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Wed Jul 27, 2011 12:51 pm

That's somehow confusing but I finally understand it Raggbur.
Anyway Taur-im-Duinath was in the southeast Beleriand as far as i can remember and it was translated as 'forest between rivers' because it lies between Sirion or GelionGilion or something like that.
Only some of the Avari wandered occasionally there. :-D

Ok.Thanks you sir.
So here is my question.
When did Uruk-hai first appeared and what happened in this year?
I think that this is an easy one :-D

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 11:17 am

They appeared in the year 2475 in which they took Ithilien and Osgiliath.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 1:22 pm

Ok, what was hidden in Ered Lómin and what is it guarded by?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 1:30 pm

The river Cirith Ninniach, guarded by the Noldor gate.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 3:14 pm

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:00 pm

Thanks again. This question might sound weird to all those who don't know the answer.

Q) What are Dumbledors?

Hilbert · **Joined:** Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:07 am **Posts:** 2088

Really I don't know... Is this from Tolkien's universe?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:12 pm

Yes, they are.

Hilbert · **Joined:** Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:07 am **Posts:** 2088

Found it in a hobbit poem...
They are nasty flying insects that lives around Shire :-D

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sun Jul 31, 2011 9:54 pm

Correctamundo. Your turn! :yay:

Hilbert · **Joined:** Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:07 am **Posts:** 2088

Thank you very much...
Ok so how were the Istari chosen to go to Middle-earth?
The answer is a little big... :oops:

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Aug 04, 2011 12:10 pm

The Valar summoned a council and asked for 3 Maia to come forward and go to Middle-earth as emissionaries. At first only Saruman (of Aule) and Alatar (of Orome) came forward, offering to go. Manwe wanted gandalf to go and asked where he was, and when he came back, Manwe sent him as the 3rd even though Gandalf argued he was too weak as he feared Sauron. Saruman was forced to take Radagast with him to plase Yarvanna and Alatar brought Pallando as a friend.
