Greetings one and all!
I am announcing a Trivia contest available to all Members of the Valar Guild with a character in the official Guild branch on Lothar!
The winners of this trivia will be able to choose which of the characters he or she has in the Valar Guild Lothar branch will receive the prize. Prizes will be awarded from the Guild Bank and will be as appropriate for the character as possible.
Rewards to choose from may include:
An Item
Materials for your profession
Profession patterns
In addition, I will offer my services as either a Blacksmith or an Alchemist to the first place winner to make any 1 item I am capable of making.
Any member of the Valar Guild may send in answers to the Tolkien trivia; however, only those with a character in the Guild branch will be able to collect a prize as described above. I will keep track of those who do and record winners of that group for bragging rights :} Members of any honor may participate in this test of Tolkien knowledge for the chance to win prizes.
All answers must of course be off the top of your head, as this is a test of knowledge.
The due date for all submissions is Two Weeks from today, so June 4th, 2006. All submissions must be received by e-mail to me. Check the Members page for my e-mail.
With that said, here are the Trivia Questions:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Shadowfax belongs to a noble line of horses. What is this line called?
2.) Who was it that forsaw the death of the Witch-King?
3.) Before entering Shelob’s Lair, Gollum had one last chance where he might’ve turned from evil. What happened to ruin this chance?
4.) What were the fates of the seven Palantiri?
5.) How did Gandalf first discover Sam was listening to the conversation between him and Frodo?
6.) What name does Eowyn ride to Minas Tirith under?
7.) What did Sam make mention of in his verse about Gandalf in Lothlorien?
8.) Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli sang as they watched Boromir’s body drift down the Anduin. What wind was sung of by each of the Three Hunters? Was any wind left unsung of and why?
9.) What year in Shire Reckoning was known as the Year of Plenty?
10.) How many times is the word “Valar” used in LotR?
11.) As Strider and the Hobbits leave Bree, Bill Ferny comes out to jeer them. What does Sam do?
12.) Name 3 gifts Bilbo left for Frodo to give to relatives.
13.) Name three Ents besides Treebeard and Quickbeam.
14.) Where was Frodo first headed after leaving Bag End?
15.) What does the Ring inscription say in the Black Speech (meaning, don’t translate)?
16.) When Gandalf described his meeting and capture by Saruman to the Council, he mentions one peculiar part of Saruman’s attire as Gandalf meets him. What is this?
17.) What was something strange the Hobbits noticed about the Dark Riders as they hid from one?
18.) What was Treebeard’s first impression of Merry and Pippin?
19.) Who forged the sword Anduril?
20.) What rumour began to stir as Frodo was giving out the gifts Bilbo had instructed him to give out?
