Post subject:  Character Quiz
Someone posted this over on the GBHL Facebook page and I thought it was pretty neat. You have to name the top 50 mentioned characters in the Lord of the Rings books in 15 minutes. I ended up with 47 out of the 50, and that was with my wife yammering in my ear the whole time! Feel free to click on the link and take the quiz and post your results. If you want to post which ones you missed, be sure to use a spoiler tag.

Arvedui, hows he part of the lord of the rings pfft 49/50 so close, did anyone else forget about gollum until right at the end? Also no Halbarad, Lurtz, Gothmog, Gamling/hama/grimbold/elfhelm or even radagast!

For those who don't know, Arvedui is the last king of Arnor, the kingdom of the north. I am surprised he was mentioned so often; perhaps as a sort of battle cry.

I thought Arvedui was one of the guys that GW made up, and Earnur was the last king of Arnor?

Look in the appendices, he's there all right. Earnur is the last king of Gondor. After the king before his Dad Earnil died without an heir Earnil was elected. Earnur got the job after him, but then accepted a challenge by the WK went to Minas Morgul and never came back. Since his death could never be proven the Stewards took over until Aragorn came strolling in.

Aww that was so good! Got 45/50. I missed…

Click to: Show
Glorfindel (can't believe it!!!), Shelob (ridiculous!), Bill (darn it!), Helm Hammerhand (completely forgot) and, the one I'm most angry with, Arvedui. I actually tried Malbeth and when he didn't come up, I thought: "Arvedui appears about the same as Malbeth so I won't try him. Silly me... :-D


Great fun though. Thanks for posting!
