Yes, Sevrinn has it and the pretty bauble too. 
Ursula LeGuin wrote a few of her books without color and the descriptions were so drab that I couldn't finish them, so I appreciate a little color when I'm reading.
Whose words had turned King Theoden into a wizened old man

Ah man if only I had gotton here sooner!! ha! Anyways, continue!
171 pages and the questions are still as easy as the first page. Come on guys show us the goodies!
Etharion had the correct answer and now has the pretty bauble.
Sorry I haven't been around to update this thread, but my doctor wanted to straighten my left foot . This is my first day back and I'm still in a cast and feeling some pain, but at least I no longer need spend all day in bed with my foot elevated.
Why was N’menor remembered as Mar-nu-Falmar

Why was N’menor remembered as Mar-nu-Falmar
Mar-nu-Falmar ---> Home under the waves. After sailing openly against Valar, trusting the words of Sauron, Ar-Pharaz’n the Golden and his whole army was swallowed by the water. But they were not the only victims of the wrath of the Valar. The land of Numenor was destroyed by the water as well. So once the beautiful and rich island of the Earth was now the Home under the waves.
Vampyr gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for the correct answer.
What were collected in the Wells of Varda
What were collected in the Wells of Varda
Varda collected the dews of the Two trees in her wells, after the trees were destroyed by Ungoliant and Morgoth.
Yes Ashkael, the dews of the two trees were collected in the Wells of Varda; however, this was done before Ungoliant attacked the trees. She sucked both them and the wells dry. It was a 'Bad Day in Black Rock', all that could be salvaged were one flower and one fruitm, from which the sun and moon were made. You get the Pseudo-Silmaril. As you're new I'll repeat my rule of courtesy: When you get an answer right, please wait 24 hours after I post the next question, prior to answering it; this way others can have a chance at it.
Which famous hobbit compiled the 'Herblore of the Shire', the 'Reckoning of Years', and the treatise 'Old Words and Names in the Shire'

That would be someone called Meriadoc Brandybuck. 
That it would Peredhil, so you get the pretty bauble.
Who was Bilbo's maternal grandfather
Who was Bilbo's maternal grandfather
Mungo 1207-1300
Nope, Mungo was Bilbo's paternal grandfather; you need to look at the otherside of the family. Try again.
Gerontius, the Old Took, was Bilbo's maternal grandfather.
Correct Samwisegamgee, you get the pretty bauble.
What number was Denethor II in the line of the Stewards of Gondor
The answer can be found in Appendix A of LotR.

Okay, everyone that tried to answer this one gets a pretty bauble.
The problem with the question is there are only five in the Shire, the other two listed in LotR are outside the Shire and I was sloppy with my homework.
The Bridge Inn at the Brandywine Bridge
The Floating Log at Frogmorton
The Golden Perch at Stock
The Green Dragon at Bywater
The Ivy Bush on the Bywater Road
The Prancing Pony at Bree
The Forsaken Inn a day's journey east of Bree
Who played on a golden harp at the Unexpected Party

Thorin, king under the mountain!
And with bauble for the inns question, I have NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! NINE PSEUDO-SILMARILS!!!! Oh, yeah!
*strings the eighth on her pseudo-necklace and has her hand outstretched for the ninth!

Indeed Loni now has her ninth shiny-shiny to add to her string of pretty baubles.

The elves' at Rivendell?
Right you are Frodo_baggins, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.

And if im right Grondy , how much Pseudos do i have. I have no idea.
And if im right Grondy , how much Pseudos do i have. I have no idea.
*giggles* I think Grondy decided to stop counting after I had won soo many that it boggled his mind to keep score anymore...Or am I wrong? 
Etharion has the right answer and another pretty bauble.
What you expect me to waste my time building a data base or spreadsheet keeping track of how many jewels I've awarded to whom? There are only 174 pages with 1815 posts to wade through looking for them. The only reason I know how many Loni has, is because she keeps reminding us.
You want to know, you do the looking. Thank you very much, but I have a life. 
What was the Nauglamir, and who did the Dwarves make it for

In the first age of the sun, the Nauglamir was made for King Finrod Felagund.
and it was a collar mad out of beautiful stones and pearls, is it not?
Okay, THINGOL77 gets credit for what it was and Frodo_baggins for he whom it was made. They can share the Pseudo-Silmaril, for I don't want multiple bauble handouts to become standard practice.
Per the index of The Silmarillion
And carcanet: "an ornamental collar, band, or necklace, usually of gold and often jeweled." (I had to look it up.)
Can you name the large expanse of water in Southern Mordor

Nauglamir: 'The Necklace of the Dwarves', made for Finrod Felagund by the Dwarves, brought by H’rin out of Nargothrond to Thingol, and the cause of his death.
Also from 'Of the Return of the Noldor' in the same book: Nauglamir: 'The Necklace of the Dwarves', made for Finrod Felagund by the Dwarves, brought by H’rin out of Nargothrond to Thingol, and the cause of his death.
Quote:
... the Nauglamir, the Necklace of the Dwarves, most renowned of their works in the Elder Days. It was a carcanet of gold, and set therein were gems uncounted from Valinor; but it had a power within it so that it rested lightly on its wearer as a strand of flax, and whatsoever neck it clasped it sat always with grace and loveliness.
Finrod Felagund, as you remember, was the oldest brother of Galadriel. ... the Nauglamir, the Necklace of the Dwarves, most renowned of their works in the Elder Days. It was a carcanet of gold, and set therein were gems uncounted from Valinor; but it had a power within it so that it rested lightly on its wearer as a strand of flax, and whatsoever neck it clasped it sat always with grace and loveliness.

Can you name the large expanse of water in Southern Mordor
I belive it is called The Sea of Nurnen.
it was also the location of the fields were the majority of Mordors food was grown.(i just felt like typing something)
Correct Frodo_baggins, you get the pretty bauble.
What false name did Frodo adopt when he set out for Rivendell
( I apologize for not keeping up with this thread daily, I've had a slight set back with my foot surgery: one of the three incisions isn't healing correctly and the antibiotic is making me not want to spend much time at the computer. Sorry.)

Quote : 'Yes,' said Gandalf; 'for it will be better to ride back three together 'than one alone. Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.'
Virumor has the answer and gets the pretty bauble.
What wall encircled the Pelennor Fields
What wall encircled the Pelennor Fields
Rammas Echor.
Virumor has the correct answer, but he violated our 24 hour rule, so in addition to the Pseudo-Silmaril he gets 20 lashes with the wet orc tongue.
