What year did Durin's Bane awaken? (granted his name wasn't that at the time)

The only ones who put up any fight on the side of Rohan was Erkenbrand and his soldiers. They only fought as a delaying action. The rest of the army still fled before they could put up a fight.

The Balrog of Moria was awakened by Durin the T.A. 1980.

Not specifically BY Durin, but yes, that was the year. Your go.

And never was. Only dwarves called him that. But I do not intend to mention that again.

Here's my question:

To who or what does this line refer to, "I make the earth shake"?

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:33 pm

I believe it was a line in the poem about the oliphaunt (grey as a mouse, big as a house....), so is it the Oliphaunt?

General Elessar · **Posted:** Fri Jan 13, 2012 4:32 pm

Yes, it is the Oliphaunt. Your turn.

Where does the grass grow tall and do lilies sway in the wind of the Sea?

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Mon Jan 16, 2012 4:49 pm

I'm guessing the Grey Havens? The description sounds elvish to me...

Meneldil · **Posted:** Mon Jan 16, 2012 7:20 pm

No, not the Grey Havens.

Telchar · **Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2012 4:03 pm

Just a guess: Dol Amroth.

I really have no idea at all.

Meneldil · **Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2012 4:44 pm

You're coming close...

Lebennin I think...

Meneldil · **Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2012 7:07 pm

That is correct, well done Hilbert!

Silver flow the streams from Colos to Erui
In the green fields of Lebennin!
Tall grows the grass there. In the wind from the Sea
The white lilies sway,
And the golden bells are shaken of mallos and alfirin
In the green fields of Lebennin,
In the wind from the Sea!

Telchar · **Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2012 7:21 pm

Well done Hilbert!

An easy one, who is this poem refering to?

Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Thu Jan 19, 2012 3:05 pm

Gil-Galad.

Question

Draugluin

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri Jan 20, 2012 8:52 pm

3 parts: What did Narsil mean, who forged it, and who brought it back to Arnor?

Meneldil · **Posted:** Fri Jan 20, 2012 10:53 pm

-I don't remember this too well, but I think it was something like ''fire and light''..?
-It was forged by the Dwarf smith Telchar.
-It was brought back by one of the few survivors of the Battle of the Gladden Fields, I believe his name was Othar...
