Wb Fionw’ Urion, for the correct answer, except you forgot to say Book One (there are two Chapters 2 in FotR), you get the pretty bauble.
What was the Sindarin name for Weathertop
What was the Sindarin name for Weathertop
Amon Sul. Though I think the "u" had a tilde, but I'm not sure.
Yup, and you can make make that ’ by holding down the Alt key while pressing 0251and then letting it go to. So Morambar gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What was the name of one of the Elves that the hobbits came across near Woodstock

Can you give me more information ? I dont know what Woodstock is ? (or is it cheating asking for more help)
Woodstock is a rock festival in the American state New YorK.
I reckon our riddler meant Woodhall.

I know what Woodstook is Vir but thanks for changing the name in the riddle
Ah Shucks!!! Sorry, my age is showing. I did mean 'Woodhall'. So the question is:
What was the name of one of the Elves that the hobbits came across near Woodhall
What was the name of one of the Elves that the hobbits came across near Woodhall
Gildor Inglorion.
You got it Virumor, and the pretty bauble too.
What was the former name of Minas Tirith, and what did it mean?

Minas Anor "The tower of the Sun"
That's it Mellon, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who hungered for and devoured light

Ungoliant.
Keereckt Morambar, you get another pretty bauble.

Dr Quinn, medicine woman.
Ugluk the Orc
Yes, Ugl’g was the one, except he was he was an Uruk-hai, so Maydmarion gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What color are Orc skins
What color are Orc skins
Maroon 666
Dirty.......lol hehe.......sorry 
Greyish?
Thought they were jet black, but could be wrong. And since when are Uruk-Hai not Orcs? It seems implicit in "Uruk."
If you were to ask an Uruk-hai if he was an Orc, I'll bet he'd be mad at you, with something like: "Orc weak, Uruk strong; Orc scared of Sun, Uruk spit on Sun; Orc stupid, Uruk smart; you not smart, you insult Uruk, calling Uruk an Orc." 
Nevertheless, black is the color I was looking for, so Morambar gets the pretty bauble.
What happened to Saruman after Grima killed him

What happened to Saruman after Grima killed him
Meh. Saying an Uruk is not an Orc is like saying a Mann is not a man. I'll take the Psuedo-Silmaril with much thanks though, and lie in wait for the next....
No, Uruk-hai aren't really Orcs, more a hybrid of Man and Orc.
As for Saruman : his body was dragged through the streets of Hobbiton by the victorious Hobbits, after which it was hacked in a thousand pieces and scattered in all directions.

attempted answer to Grondy's question;
i think the last we do see of Saruman is his spirit going up and look over the west and dissolved to nothing as a western wind blew

Obviously Virumor left the theatre prior to the end of PJ's movie.
Loss has the answer and the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who 'chanted a song of wizardry, of piercing, opening, of treachery'

Gorthaur the Cruel, or Sauron if you prefer. Unless I'm mixing them up, in which case I'll feel stupid. Again.
No, it was clearly the Phantom of the Opera.
No, it really was Sauron as told in the 'Lay of Leithian' as written in The Silmarillion, Chapter 19, which is entitled 'Of Beren and L’thien'. So Morambar gets another Pseudo-Silmaril.
What tower was guarded by the Two Watchers
What tower was guarded by the Two Watchers
cirith ungol????
I feel a little guilty about this, because I think Caudimordax was really thinking of this one, but I believe it was Minas Morgul, not Cirith Ungol.
Nah, it was Cirith Ungol, which was guarded by Dipsy and Tinky-Winky.
*retracts 1000 mithril from Morambar's account*
*retracts 1000 mithril from Morambar's account*
My Evil Overlord won't let me watch Tinky-Winky, ya know, 'cos he's evil. Which you'd think would make them the best of friends, but I don't pretend to understand the guy. I prefer Homey-Womey.
As Virumor said, Tailbiter has the correct answer and the pretty bauble.
So, what was Tailbiter's latin name and who owned it at the end of the story.
So, what was Tailbiter's latin name and who owned it at the end of the story.
Umm... Caudimordax GAVE his Latin name, didn't he? And I believe it was Farmer Giles, but I"m ashamed to admit I remember it from PT rather than the book. I need to read my doublet again.
Yes, so Morambar gets another Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who said: 'Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!'

I'm back again, busy week.
Theoden, I believe, is the correct answer.
I noticed Grep fixed the smilie link, wonderful!!

No, that was a line of Mad Max from Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome.
Nope, Theoden had been crushed under Snowmane when this occurred.
You are mistaken Virumor, that quote was: 'Life! Fly, fly back home and to a new beginning!'

Answer : ’omer, after seeing his sister lie next to Th’oden, and thinking she was dead too.
You got it this time Virumor and also the pretty bauble.

I'm looking for the name of the region on the maps, and the English name of that region.
I believe the region is Rhovanion, means wilderland.
Thats the only region i can think of that is in that area.

That's it Thingol, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Which host of the Eldar were called the Falmari, and what did it mean

The Teleri - those of the waves, the foamriders, the sea elves?
Yes Maydmarion, I was looking for the first two of your list, so you get the pretty bauble.
How did Snaga of Cirith Ungol die
How did Snaga of Cirith Ungol die
Ooooo, I HATE these 50/50s. I believe Sam pushed him through the ladder hole though, but maybe I've got the wrong one.
You've got the right Snaga, but Sam didn't push him, after Sam slashed his whip hand from his arm with Sting, (I had missed that grisly bit prior to today) the orc charged and knocking Sam down, tripped over the ladder head and fell through the hole to his death with a broken neck. Morambar gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
