The Lord of the Rings

Yes, I'm still reading the story. :) And some LOTR trivia would be great. :)

Ok! Thx I was starting to get discouraged lol. I have a buch of trivia question from a LORT game that we have so If some of them r really hard of really easy that's why. Lol :)

1. Which 2 hobbits sing a rousing tune at the 'Green Dragon'?

Why, Merry and Pippin of course! :D And doesn't Frodo get involved a little too? :)

I LOVE that LOTR story! I've been sharing it everywhere!

I thought frodo was in mordor at that part because after they sing the song Pippin is looking at Gandalf because he wants the palantir right?

No, you're thinking of the celebration of the victory at Helm's Deep. They were singing:

"You can drink your fancy ales,
You can drink 'em by the flagon,
But the only brew for the brave and true…..
Comes from the Green Dragon!"

At the Green Dragon they sung:

"Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe,
Rain may fall and winds may blow,
But there still be……many miles to go!

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,
And the hills that roll from spring to plain,
Better than rain or rippling brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this Took!"

Ok sorry I got mixed up lol.

More LotR trivia:

What was Gandalf's name in the West (when he was younger)?
What type of being was he (e.g. man, elf, ainur, maia, etc.)?
Easy: What was the name of his sword?

What relation exists between Aragorn and Elrond (besides father-in-law)?
What would that make Aragorn and Arwen?
Clue: Elrond and his brother (Elros) were Half-elven on both their mother and father's side, so they were given the choice of mortality or immorality. Elros chose mortality and Elrond chose immortality. This is only a clue if you know who Elros' descendants were…

What is one instance of inter-marriage between elves and men (besides Aragorn and Arwen)?
What were the second names of both involved?

Turin Turambar's father was who?
Who was his mother?
His sister?
The dragon that cursed them?

Even though Turin finally killed the dragon that cursed his family, he killed himself soon afterwards because he found out something about the woman he loved (and who was pregnant with his child). She had just killed herself too when she heard the same thing he did.
What was it?
How did he kill himself; how did she kill herself?
(The story of Turin and his family is one of saddest in the Silmarillion. The dragon twisted things up pretty badly in Turin's life.)

What is the only instance of intermarriage between one of the Maia and an elf-lord?
Hint: the elf was male; one of the first three lords of the elves after they awoke at Cuivienen (the Waters of Awakening).

What was Morgoth's name before he fell?

What was Shelob's mother's (perhaps grandmother or further ancestor) name?
Hint: With Morgoth's help, she poisoned the two trees in Valinor and made their light die.

P.S. Most of this you could only know from reading the Silmarillion. Sorry. Most else is [too] easy (for SERIOUS Tolkien readers, that is; jk ;-). So…if you've read the Silmarillion, sit and think awhile before you pick up your book and start looking. If you haven't read the book, maybe you could google the answers or something…they're sure to be somewhere.
Please don't post answers unless you've genuinely remembered. If nobody does, just let me know.

P.S. I am still commenting very moderately…don't have the time to comment much. (This comment is way too long. Sorry.)

Holy moley!!!!!!! Wow! Could u edit that and put a number next to each question so we can know which one we r answering?

jaw drops Umm… I know that Gandalf's sword was called Glamdring! ;D I have no idea whatsoever the answers to the other questions. :P

2. He is an Istari (did I spell that right?)
3. Glamdring (I am probably misspelling a lot. Sorry)
4. Um wasn't Aragorn raised in rivendel or something? (It's been too long since I read the Appendixes!) :)
5. His descendants r the the people of Gondor right? I have no idea what this answer is lol.
6. Elrond's parents?
7. No idea lol.
8. • 1. No idea I have only read parts of the simerillian.
9. Ah I should know this.
10. I remember the story but not the name! Lol
    Wow I feel stupid lol :) jk I would like to know the answers though once a few more people guess…..

Shelob's mom was Ungoliant! Comin' with more later!

R u looking stuff up?? :)

I too have an LOTR trivia game, so I might come on here with some (comparatively easy) questions from that. :)

Yeah we have trivial pursuit but it's no fun to play anymore cause my brother memorized almost all the questions!!!! :) lol

Hey, that's the one we have; we actually have normal LOTR Trivial Pursuit and DVD LOTR Trivial Pursuit–both of which we have not played in a long time. :)

NEW NEW NEW! IT'S FINALLY HERE!

Frodo walked of the plane and entered peaceful Rivendell Servers. Except, it wasn't so peaceful. Rivendell Servers was under construction. Elrond came out and greeted them
Elrond: Hey guys welcome back! I got bored so I decided to change Rivendell Servers around a little bit.
Frodo:Huh?
Elrond: Follow me!
They go into a big room. Elrond turns his new power point on
Two users come out
Elrond:I found these 2 people on the LEGO Message Boards. Their names are Yollum and Ahboh.
Ahboh:Hello.
Yollum:Hello.
Elrond:They are renovating Rivendell Servers for me. We are building many new awesome things, such as a new super Chemistry Lab complete with every single element known to Elf plus big particle accelerator and a new 3D HD 112'' TV that shows every single meteor that is entering our Atmosphere and a life size Minecraft world complete with a complete Virtual Realty set and a new town square with a big Pacman Clock and a new lab with a big computer that is trying to create a wormhole and…
Elrond went on and on and on and on. Everybody fell asleep. After Elrond was over, everybody left the hall. Frodo started to look around for Bilbo, and he found him
Frodo: Bilbo!
Bilbo: Frodo!
Frodo:How are you doing?
Bilbo: I am getting old. I am almost done with my E-Book!
Frodo:Cool!
Bilbo:Now WHERE IS IT?
Frodo:…
Bilbo: Sorry, I don't know what came over me! BTW, it is SOOOO noisy since Elrond started construction.
Outside their window
Yollum:Can you pass me a hammer Ahboh?
Ahboh: What? I could not hear you.
Yollum:Can you pass me a hammer?
Ahboh: WHAT?
Yollum very loudly:CAN YOU PASS ME A HAMMER???!!
Ahboh:YOU HAVE ONE ON YOUR BELT.
Yollum:I do? Oh yeah…
He starts pounding a nail on a window. He misses the nail and breaks the window instead. It shatters into pieces.
Yollum: Woops…He tapes it back up.
Bilbo:You know what I mean, Frodo?
Frodo: I sure do!
To be continued…

Oops my bad I read that and forgot to re-post it. I'm slacking. :( lol

Tut tut, you've been a bad girl! Your penalty is to tell me the poem that was on the One Ring!

How is that a penalty? Who (of us) doesn't know THAT?? :P

glares Did I ask you? Go smash a Balrog or two! J/K! Wait, having know me for, what, about 2 years now, do I really need to tell you when I'm kidding? shrugs Oh well, better safe than sorry, right? Especially with Wretched Sons 5 and 6, it's better to be safe.

Lol. Well I don't feel like typing to poem out so 2 bad. Lol :) jk

sighs I guess I'll have to let you off easy……this time!

Aragorn is Elrond's nephew……by a lot of generations. Wait, so that makes Arwen his cousin……by many generations. Wow.

Ur just realizing this? Lol :) jk and u have been an LOTR fan for how long? Lol jk

Actually, I never really thought about it, even though I knew Elrond was Aragorn's uncle.

Yeah, but there is a lot of generation between them all.

And that lessens the yuck factor…….somewhat. :-P

Yeah somewhat.. Lol. If I may ask what does ur new name mean/Who is it?

ahem Go to Ninjago.com for more! Put your cursor over "World of Ninjago", go to "Characters", and click on the arrow at the bottom-right hand of the page, and click on the White Ninja!

It won't work on my iPod so you'll just have to tell me lol.

He's a ninja of ice in this alternate universe where snakes can talk and skeletons can walk. Also, if you've seen the cartoons you'll know he's got this really funky box haircut that looks ridiculous! He also likes to ride his snowmobile in the middle of the desert… Yea, he's a weird guy :D

His hair isn't ridiculous! And his snowmobile only comes when he's using the Shurikens of Ice! And in that episode, that was the only way to escape the desert! And c'mon, at least he HAS hair, being a robot and all…..

He looks like G.I. Joe from the old cartoons :D What in the World he's a robot???!!!

You didn't know that?

You sound like the other three ninja when they found out the same thing: "YOU'RE A ROBOT?!?!" Yes, he is! And I have to say, that was a twist! Besides Zane, Lord Garmadon might be my fav character from the series.

Hypothetically speaking, lets say I have only watched one episode of Ninjago on Cartoon Network. That would leave me with a very limited knowledge of the Ninjago universe, right. Of course, we are just being hypothetical here… :)

Who made him?

I know absolutely nothing about Ninjago, so it looks like this'll be a conversation I can't get involved in… :) But hey, this topic isn't about Ninjago anyway!

Okay. Then, hypothetically speaking, I'd think it'd be a good choice to get the DVDs from your library or local store and check it out! Hypothetically speaking of course! ;-)

Lets say, in this hypothetical universe, I was to go to a library. What DVD would I get?

You'd, hypothetically, get the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu DVD, and the Ninjago: Season One DVD, and the Ninjago: Rise of the Green Ninja DVD. Hypothetically speaking.

Hypothetically speaking we should hypothetically get back on topic. Lol.

Oaky…here are the answers:

1. Gandalf's name was Olorin in the west.
2. He was one of the Maiar! (Danielle: you are right that he was one of the Istari…but that was after he came to Middle-Earth. I'm thinking that the Istari is just the name for the few Maiar that were sent to Middle-Earth [as wizards, of course]) For anyone who's wondering, the Maiar were the servants of the Valar (powers). If you don't know about either…then read the Silmarillion.
3. Everyone knows that Gandalf's sword's name is Glamdring.
4. Saruman Name-changer (kinda like Beorn Shape-changer) got this right! Aragorn is Eldrond's nephew (after like fifty generations) which would make…
5. Aragorn and Arwen some sort of cousins (again by like fifty generations).
6. Other intermarriage between elves and men: Beren Erchamion (one-handed) and Luthien Tinuviel! (I thought you'd guess this one Saruman Name-changer)
7. Turin Turambar's father was Hurin. His mother was Morwen, and his sister was Nienor (almost positive). The dragon that cursed them was named Glaurung. The dragon basically made them forget their memories and not remember other people they used to know.
8. After Turin killed the dragon, the dragon's curse was broken, and he realized that the woman he had married was really his sister; and that she had just killed herself by throwing herself off a cliff. He fell on his black sword, which then broke under him.
   More later….got to go.

Cool! Thx!

More answers….
Only marriage between Maiar and Elf = Elu Thingol (elf) and Melian (Maia)
Morgoth's former name = Melkor
Shelob's grandmother = Ungoliant

Maybe more trivia sometime later. Maybe.

-The Loremaster

OMGosh! I knew that about Melkor!! face Palm (I'm still crying about the deletetion of conversation.)

We can still have fun without trolling :)

Yeah it's not so much trolling in itself that I'm angry/sad/discussed about. It's the whole aditude Christians seem to have on here about being goofy and haveing a little fun!!
