The land of Ithilien, home and realm (kinda) of Faramir and his wife. I couldn't remember the spelling of her name, how embarassing.
Yes I found that at the tail end of Appendix A of LotR and her name was ’owyn.

Why did Ulmo command Turgon to leave armor and a sword in his house in Nevrast
Why did Ulmo command Turgon to leave armor and a sword in his house in Nevrast
So that Turgon would recognize the wearer (eventually to be Tuor) as Ulmo's messenger, when the doom of Gondolin was near.
That's the answer Meneldur, you get the pretty bauble.

Which is the odd man out: Oss’, Manw’, Ilmar’, Ol’rin, Eonw’
Which is the odd man out: Oss’, Manw’, Ilmar’, Ol’rin, Eonw’
He's not in your list...but I think Fionw’ is "odd man out" since he keeps missing his chance to answer the questions, LOL!!!! 
Osse?
Manw’ since he is Lord of the Valar and not a Maia?
Mellon gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for the correct answer.
I know no one will know the answer to the following, because few have read Smith of Wootton Major, but on the off chance:
When the fay-star fell out of Smith's mouth, what did he do with it

Do you doubt our knowledge Grondy??? I couldn't remember off heart but after looking it up:
Smith caught the Fay-Star in his hand and because it looked like it was going to fly away, he clapped his hand to his head and it stayed in his forehead for many years...

ACK!!!! We're not supposed to look this stuff up, Grondy is testing our knowledge not our search engines.
What??? I didn't use a search engine (that's cheating)... I tried to remember it off heart, but couldn't... but I agree with Grondy, alot of people havn't read those writings so I looked it up in my own copy of "Tales OT Perilous Realm", and that's allowed so you're wrong there 
Yes, Loss gets the pretty bauble.

Easy one.... 
Gl’in
P.S. Yes I figured looking in the books was okay, I was just busting your chops Elessar. Especially since that one was such an off-the-wall question, outside LOTR and all.

We must all find out sometime how the game is played, but you are new here so be glad it was now and not later Thanks Grondy...Meneldur gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Oh, and our other rule in this game is when you answer the question correctly you must wait 24 hours after the next question is posted before trying to answer it, unless of course that question gets answered correctly by someone else and a third question is posted within your 24 hour period, then that third question is fair game for you. This is toward sharing the wealth as it were.
What did Boromir do to arouse the Watcher in the Water

What did Boromir do to arouse the Watcher in the Water
Yup, I knew about the 24-hour rule -- saw it on Page 1 on the thread, and I've been careful to follow it. Well...I've been careful *AND ALSO* sometimes Grondy throws us a real wacky curve-ball of a question that I have no hope of answering anyway, LOL!!! 
He threw a rock/stone into the water???
Yes, Loss gets the pretty bauble for the correct answer.

Dwimordene is the name given to Lothlorien by the people of Rohan. It means "haunted valley." The Rohirrim believed that Lothlorien was a place of magic where a sorceress dwelled. The Two Towers: "The King of the Golden Hall," p. 118

That's all right Mellon, I wouldn't have known it either and if I had, I still would have wanted to look it up towards having the correct spelling. Anyway, Mellon gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What was the first story from The Silmarillion to be put on paper
What was the first story from The Silmarillion to be put on paper
The Fall of Gondolin? (I think...)
That's what I came up with Meneldur, it was started circa 1917 while he was on sick leave from the army. I found this in the 'Introduction to Part One' of Unfinished Tales. So Meneldur gets the pretty bauble.
What were the Seven Hoards

They were the hoards created by the seven dwarven rings, worn by the seven dwarven kings/lords.
Correct Etharion, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who was the only Sinda to have seen the Two Trees
Who was the only Sinda to have seen the Two Trees
Legolas ?
I want to say Thingol, I know he saw the light from the Two Trees in Melian's eyes. Does that count as having seen the Trees?
Thingol did saw the Two trees.
Amari’ gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for her accidental guess. As Elw’, Thingol went to Valinor as an ambasador, saw the the two trees, and returned. Upon his return he talked the Elven people to relocate to Valinor, but having fallen head-over-heels for Melian he remained and didn't sail with them.
Who wrote the poem 'The Stone Troll'
