I have moved this thread from The Lord of the Rings Section to here in the Ivy Bush Tavern so it is with the rest of our games.

Ok I'm sure you all know how it goes... I'll ask a question that's Tolkien related, any of his books. And you answer it, and see if you know it, then ask another question!

Q: What color was Dwalin's hood?
Looks like we've had a post mix-up. I'm going with Turgon. But let's answer Grondy's question anyway. What colour was Dwalin's hood? To your copies of 'The Hobbit,' chaps! (I don't have mine here).
I thought it was red or blue?
And here was I thinking it was yellow. No way, that's dori and them. Isn't it? SOMEONE GET THEIR COPY OF THE HOBBIT AND HELP!!!! (Did I tell you I'm going to the stage show of the hobbit? Cool, eh?) Just had to say that.
Not red, yellow, or blue.
I think it was described as green, with the coulour hidden with the travel stains like mud, weather etc.
Lord_aragorn86 has it with green, I think the mud and stains depend on when we look at his cloak.
Over to you LA88; your turn.

A Five Feet
Q How long did it take to complete Gondolin
Uh... ages? That's the trouble with going on here at school - no Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales to consult.
A. 52 years.
Q What date was the one ring destroyed?
I'd look it up, but I can't. Uh... isn't it around the end of March? That or round about Christmas.
25 March 3019 T.A.
Who is buried in the eighth mound on the east-side of the Barrowfield?
Theoden, if I'm not mistaken.
Which Hobbiton road was also called "Sharkey's end"
Bagshot Row?
If so,
When Beren was forced to flee from Dorthonion, where did he resolve to go
If not, someone may answer both questions.
It was Bagshot Row in fact.
I'll leave it to someone else to answer yours, Grondy.
Is the answer Doriath - The Hidden Kingdom
Yes, your turn Maydmarion.
In what year did Gollum leave his cave in search of his stolen ring
*opens ROTK book to appendices* In the year 2944 of the Third Age.
How old was Finduilas when ’owyn was born?
Finduilas was born in 2950 and ’owyn in 2995 which makes her 44/45 (don't know the months).
Q. Where did Radagast live during his time in ME?
Hey! I know you! You're that one person from that welcome thread! What does your name mean anyways? Is it Japanese?
Radagast the Brown dwelt at one time in Rhosgobel, near the borders of Mirkwood. I assume that this is the one you mean, the one that can be found on page 250 and 251 of the newly printed copies (The ones with the movie covers) and pages 336 and 337 of the old copy.
Of what race is Iorlas and where is it most likely that he dwells?
A quess - an Elf from Lothlorien
No.
Is Lorlas a Man of Gondor, son of Bergil, and the uncle of Beregond
Nope! But you were close enough, so I'll give it to you. Iorlas (WIth an 'i' at the beginning) is the uncle of Bergil, son of Beregond of the Guards. You got the names mixed up, and yes, he does live in Gondor.
So it's your turn now.
Thank you D’neniel, he goes
Who was the first King to refuse to lay down his life
Tar-Atanamir the Great
How tall did Merry grow during his portion of the War of the Ring Like measured from when they left Bag End, not from when he was born, for the War of the Ring started long before his birth.
Approx 4 inches - is this correct
A bit less I think, but I have lost the place I found it.
Grondy, Grondy, Grondy. I thought civil servants were all careful and never lost things? and if they did, they made sound excuses for it. What's your excuse? MWAHAHA!!! I still can't get over the fact you were a civil servant!!!
Grindy - Should I take a turn or do you want another go?
Go ahead Maydmarion, start another one. By the way, I think the correct answer was three inches but I can no longer find the actual text where Tolkien gave us that information.
(I'll even answer to 'Grundy', though I won't like it as much as Grandy.)
I'm making a lot of mistakes tonight, sorry Grondy, think I had better go to bed now.....
Firstly, here is the question....
What is the other Hobbitish name for The Oldbucks
well... night night for now...
That was the name of the Brandybucks before they crossed the river and established Brandyhall.
What major work of scholarship did Bilbo produce in Rivendell
Quote:

The answer was Zaragamba - maybe I didn't phrase the question right...
Do you consider the translation of Elvish works and history into Westron a work of scholarship? Or do you mean the book Learn Elvish in 1 week which he had written?
Quote:

Yes I do. As is stated in the Prologue to
LotR: Quote:But the chief importance of Findegil's copy [of
The Red Book of Westmarch] is that it alone contained the whole of Bilbo's
'Translations from the Elvish'. These three volumes were found to be a work of great skill and learning in which, between 1403 and 1418, he had used all the sources available to him in Rivendell, both living and written. But since they were little used by Frodo, being almost entirely concerned with the Elder Days, no more is said of them here.
So Lord_aragorn86 has the honor of giving the next question.
