OK, ladies and gents of the Valar Guild. Close the books, put away the notes. It's time for Tolkien Trivia, and all the answers must come from your head!
Don't even look at your books until after you've submitted your answers. :}
You will have ONE WEEK from today to submit your answers via Private Message to me. That means all submissions should be in before next Sunday.
Make sure you have your displayed name set to your Guild Name or I won't know who you are and I can't award you any prizes you might win.
Yes, there will be prizes for the LotRO (Landroval) and WoW (Lothar) branches, but all members of the Valar Guild are welcome to participate. Only members with a character in the guild branch will be able to collect prizes for that guild branch, and prizes will only be mailed to characters within the guild branch, so make sure you've been logging into your guild chars!
There will be an overall ranking indicating who in the Valar Guild got First, Second, and Third for answering the most correctly. There will then be individual ranking from LotRO and WoW to determine who won a prize.
This time, due to many considerations, I've decided to return to our standard prize rules that state Valar Honor are ineligible for prizes.
I have attempted to make the prizes fun and/or useful if not actually tempting, so don't expect any symbols of the Elder King to make your lvl 85 First Age item. In addition, those who have characters in both branches awarding prizes must choose which branch they want to receive prizes in. You don't get to have prizes in both :}
For LotRO, the prizes are:
--------------------------------------
1st - 1 Tarnished Crest of Rohan, plus 40 Low-Quality Riddermark Ore worth of any bars I can turn it into, or the ore itself.
2nd - 40 Low-Quality Riddermark Ore worth of any bars I can turn it into, or the ore itself
3rd - 20 Low-Quality Riddermark Ore worth of any bars I can turn it into, or the ore itself
To make this a little more enticing, I am including crits here. So, let's say you want the high-quality ingots. On the way to making those higher ingots, you get the benefit of any critical crafting that happens along the way.
--------------------------------------
For WoW, the prizes are:
--------------------------------------
1st - 1 royal satchel (a 28-slot bag, currently the biggest bag in the game) plus your choice of a rare-quality (blue) battle pet collected for this purpose.
2nd - Your choice of a rare-quality (blue) battle pet collected for this purpose.
3rd - Your choice of a uncommon-quality (green) battle pet collected for this purpose.
--------------------------------------
Without further ado, here are the questions!
1.) What did Aragorn say was probably most affective against the Nazgul at Weathertop?
2.) When Frodo left the Shire, where did he tell everyone he was going?
3.) What vision did Sam see in Galadriel's mirror?
4.) When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli saw Gandalf again after Moria, who did they think he was?
5.) What name does Grima give to Gandalf in his tirade at Meduseld?
6.) After being freed from Grima's influence, what choice does Théoden give to Grima?
7.) Who wins the game between Gimli and Legolas?
8.) Give one line from the song Frodo sings at the Prancing Pony.
9.) Why did he sing that song?
10.) Name one Hobbit that Frodo and Company met upon their return to the Shire, before they began to rouse the Shire.
Bonus: Which kings ruled Erebor and Dale during the War of the Ring?
Remember to have your answers to me before August 25th!
