Nope finally got it.

What was the name given to the balrog that as encased in white flames rather than red?

Had to google it, so I don't deserve it...

"Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, high-captain of Angband, was come; and he drove a dark wedge between the Elvenhosts, surrounding King Fingon, and thrusting Turgon and Hurin aside towards the Fen of Serech. Then he turned upon Fingon. That was a grim meeting. At last Fingon stood alone with his guard dead about him; and he fought with Gothmog, until another Balrog came behind and cast a thong of fire about him. Then Gothmog hewed him with his black axe, and a white flame sprang up from the helm of Fingon as it was cloven. Thus fell the High King of the Noldor; and they beat him into the dust ywith their maces, and his banner, blue and silver, they trod into the mire of his blood."

Gothmog was actually a red flame balrog but the white flame must have occurred when the red flame came in contact with the helm

Question still open

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:46 am

If that's the answer, then it was a bad question, as it was Fingon who was encased in white flame, not Gothmog. If it isn't, then the only other answer would be Durin's Bane, because he is the only other one who was given a name/title.

False, my dear Drauglin :no:

The balrog I'm thinking of was mentioned in the third volume of The History of Middle Earth

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Aug 09, 2013 4:53 am

Oh, I've never been able to find those, I was going by what was in the published canon.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Aug 09, 2013 11:27 am

Lungorthin.

Though Lungorthin could actually be an early name for Gothmog.

Correctamundo

Your turn.

Tnx

What was the name, race and occupation of the creature whose skin Luthien wore?

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Tue Aug 20, 2013 12:25 am

Name: Thuringwethil
Race: Vampire.
Occupation: ? She was much like the Mouth of Sauron and spoke Sauron's will.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Thu Aug 22, 2013 10:57 am

Correct on all points. Thuringwethil was these. Your turn.

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Thu Aug 22, 2013 11:40 pm

I am Elven in origin.
I have 2 brothers.
I and my brothers are considered sacred.
We were taken and held by evil.
An oath was cast that resulted in the death of many Elves.
In the end, I was found and saved by JRR Tolkien and his wife Edith,
I now lay in the heavens, but my brothers met a fiery and watery end.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Aug 23, 2013 12:19 am

The Silmaril that is on Earendil's brow.

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Fri Aug 23, 2013 10:21 pm

Correct

your turn.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sat Aug 24, 2013 7:44 am

Name all of the characters who held a Silmaril in their hand, and what happened to them.

Telchar · **Posted:** Sun Aug 25, 2013 3:20 pm

Feanor (presumably): Got killed by an army of balrogs as he chased Morgoth's host too fast.
Morgoth Bauglir: Cast into the void by the Valar for all time, after being the least resource-to-kill efficient Dark Lord of all time.
Beren: Got his hand bitten of, died, came back and lived with Lúthien, his love, until they both died.
Maedhros: Kills himself after realising that the evils they've done have voided his and his brother's right to the silmarils
Maglor: Wanders the earth singing laments after the above.
Earendil: Placed (with the Silmaril) in the sky as a star on his flying ship.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sun Aug 25, 2013 6:47 pm

You missed three, in-between Beren and Earendil.

Fariagorn · **Posted:** Mon Aug 26, 2013 10:04 am

Can I finish it?

Thingol who got it from Beren: Killed by the dwarf craftsmen when they had to make it into Nauglamír
The dwarven craftsmen (don't know if their names were mentioned): Killed by Thingol's men in a chase after they stole the neclace and killed thingol
Elwig: Threw herself in the sea with the Nauglamír but was saved by Ulmo

Don't know if it's right... :-)
