Oh wow, it's my turn. Um, really easy one, how were each of the 12 dwarves that traveled with Thorin related to him?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sat Nov 10, 2012 4:05 pm

Fili and Kili were his nephews, and I think a couple were his cousins but that's all I can do off the top of my head.

Telchar · **Posted:** Sat Nov 10, 2012 4:38 pm

OK, I got the family tree

.

Fili and Kili were the sons of Dis, his sister.
Then Balin, Dwalin, Oin and Gloin. Hold on:
Thorin was the son of Thrain, son of Thror. Thror in turn was the son of Dain I, the son of Nain II. Nain also had another son, Borin, whose son was called Farin. Farin had two sons: Fundin and Groin. Balin and Dwalin are the sons of Fundin, Oin and Gloin the sons of Groin. That makes them cousins five times removed?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sat Nov 10, 2012 9:02 pm

Yup, the other 6 were just companions. Your go Telchar.

Which Noldo reconciled the Houses of Feanor and Finarfin, and how?

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Wed Nov 21, 2012 11:07 pm

Fingon rescued Maedhros, who was son of Fëanor. Maedrhros then gave up his claim to being king of Noldor and Fingolfin became king and "re-united" the two houses . . . kind of ;-)

180!

Your turn.

He pipes not to me, He pipes not to thee. He whistles for none of you. His music is his own.

SouthernDunedain · **Posted:** Sat Nov 24, 2012 8:22 pm

stab in the dark here...Tom Bombadil? :roll:

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Sat Nov 24, 2012 9:09 pm

Not a bad guess but its completely wrong ;-)

greendragon · **Posted:** Sat Dec 01, 2012 7:54 pm

The Bard of Laketown?

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:55 pm

Nope, guess this was tougher than I thought. Hint Time: Source is from the First Lost Tales.

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Thu Dec 06, 2012 11:53 pm

Seems this was a stumper . . . should I answer it? Bigger hint. If you quote the following and put it in google with quotes around it, the answer is given: "He pipes not to me, He pipes not to thee. He whistles for none of you. His music is his own."

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Dec 07, 2012 1:16 am

1stly, if you type that in google,half the results are links to this exact thread.

2ndly, it is apparently the tunes of Tinfang Warble.

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Fri Dec 07, 2012 1:32 am

Correct on the second part. Your turn.

Telchar · **Posted:** Sat Dec 08, 2012 8:09 pm

Who or what is Tinfang Warble?

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Sat Dec 08, 2012 8:39 pm

Its from the book of Lost Tales, its an Elven song.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2012 2:09 am

New question is:

What are Urulóki and where does/do they/it/he/she originate?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2012 2:22 am

They were the Fire-Drakes, the last one of which was Smaug.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2012 6:11 pm

They are indeed, and he was, you haven't mentioned where they oriniate though, but I'll give it you, just finish the answer when you ask the next question.
