Sounds like a song. Oliphant perhaps?
This one is sooo familiar, but I am not sure, and I don't have my books in front of me. The first time I read it, I thought it might be the great worm that Turin killed. But that is just a guess.
Amarië had the right answer. 
She gets a Pseudo-Silmaril for her collection.
The Orc band that captured Merry and Pippin came from which three places

And now to add to my collection: Melkor was imprisoned for three ages.

Remi gets another Pseudo-Silmaril for "Olog-hai", the type of troll warriors that Sauron bred which could withstand the light of the Sun.

Can't pass this one up Grondy, Ungoliant!
Amarië gets a shiny stone for her correct answer.
Who built Barad Nimras and where
Who built Barad Nimras and where
Ringfacwen's "shimmered in multicolors everytime he moved" is the winner of the Pseudo-Silmaril this time, as she beat Aüle by almost 8 hours. 
When I saw Aulë's "Melkor" his other guesses had been removed and I just figured Perwing was quoting the source out of niceness and because he had bothered to look it up. I usually double check the answers by looking for the source in case I am ever challenged I can at least back it up rather than use the lame "That's what it says in my quiz book."
To preclude people taking advantage of the system by wrongly guessing and later when someone else provides the correct answer, going back and revising the earlier post with the correct answer, I will have to make a new rule"

Right Remi, another pretty pretty to you.
Can you find the Odd Man Out: Khazad-dûm, Gamil Zirak, Kheled-zâram, Zirak-zigil, Kibil-nâla.
Can you find the Odd Man Out: Khazad-dûm, Gamil Zirak, Kheled-zâram, Zirak-zigil, Kibil-nâla.
Wild guess: Khazad-dum cos if I remember rightly that's not a mountain. Don't shoot me if I just said something stupid, it happens all the time. 
Is it Kheled-zâram?
I'm saying Gamil Zirak, who was a Dwarven Smith from Nogrod.
The rest are all places, Khazad-dum being a mine, Kheled-zaram a lake, Zirac-zigil a mountain and Kibil-nâla the source of a river.

You got it Valedhelgwath, so you also get a Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who always acted as look-out for Thorin's Company
Who always acted as look-out for Thorin's Company
Balin it was, so Remi gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What was Morgoth's last desperate gamble in the Great Battle, the War of Wrath
What was Morgoth's last desperate gamble in the Great Battle, the War of Wrath
He let loose his winged dragons... the first time they had ever been seen.
Right as always Val, you get another bauble.
List any four four races of Northmen.

Off the top of my head: Galadriel, Elrond and Cirdan. 
Correct you are Remi, a Pseudo-Silmaril to you.
What great peak stood on the western side of Minas Tirith
What great peak stood on the western side of Minas Tirith
Mount Mindolluin?
Arwen*Evenstar* gets a Pseudo-Silmaril Mount Mindolluin.
Who hungered for and devoured light
(I entered this at 2:20 AM my time in hopes that our Old World members would get first crack at it. Often it has already been answered before they get up in the morning.)

Elfstone, the Californian, gave them a nine hour head start so he gets the Pseudo Silmarillion for his 'Ungoliant' answer.
Who was cast over the Caragdûr in Gondolin, at Turgon's command
Who was cast over the Caragdûr in Gondolin, at Turgon's command
Eol the Dark Elf, after he killed Turgon's sister with a poisoned dart.
Yup, The Teacher knows his Silmarillion, another shiny bauble to Val.
Who 'lived on a slimy island of rock' in the middle of a lake under the Misty Mountains
Who 'lived on a slimy island of rock' in the middle of a lake under the Misty Mountains
That was Gollum.
Yes, Elentari31 it was Sméagol, aka: Gollum so you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Whom did the Dúnedain teach to sow seed, grind grain, hew wood and shape stone
Whom did the Dúnedain teach to sow seed, grind grain, hew wood and shape stone
No, this happened in earlier times.
They taught the men and women living on the mainland. Haven't read the silmarillion in a while, but I belive they where of the men who got used and tricked by Morgoth to fear and reject the elves. Because of this they lived a primitive life in Morgoths shadow.
*pets her cuddly badger given to her by Plastic in another thread*
*pets her cuddly badger given to her by Plastic in another thread*
That would be Aragorn Elessar, Son of Arathorn, Isildur's heir and bearer of the sword that was broken and forged anew... AKA Strider, Estel, Thorongil, Wingfoot, etc, etc.
Is that a thorough enough answer?
Is that a thorough enough answer?
Amarië has got it right, she is awarded a Pseudo-Silmaril.
The Orc who speared Frodo in Khazad-dûm was slain with which sword?
The Orc who speared Frodo in Khazad-dûm was slain with which sword?
That would be Anduril.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
A Pseudo-Silmaril to Arwen*Evenstar* for her correct answer, (PJ misleads the movie goers on this one, as he still has Aragorn using his old ranger sword in Moria, rather than the reforged Narsil which Aragorn renamed Anduril, "Flame of the West".)
Name the Peredhil.
Name the Peredhil.
Right Perwing, you get the shiny bauble.
Who was Merry's Mother
Who was Merry's Mother
Okay, you waited a day, so you Perwing, can have the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What was the name of the dragon that Fram son of Frumgar slew
What was the name of the dragon that Fram son of Frumgar slew
Off the top of my head I would say that would be Scatha the Worm. Fram's victory was shortlived, however, as the local Dwarves claimed the dragon's hoard belonged to them and subsequently slew Fram to get it back.
Yup, Val has got himself another Pseudo-Silmaril for the answer that Tolkien squirreled away under Appendix A of RotK in Section 'II The House of Eorl'. Who was:
Quote:
A strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall, was also listening intently to the hobbit-talk. He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved.

And also he who would later be crowned King of both Gondor and Arnor, so Prog Gets the Pseudo-Sillmaril.

Hopefully this is right, but I'll say north of the Andram, and halfway between the rivers Aros, and Gelion.
That is a good enough answer for me, Elfstone, so you can have a Pseudo-Silmaril.
