Tolkien Trivia Round 2!! LotR Thread

[Varda]

Right! Your turn, Ancalagon.

[Ancalagon]

Well since my apparently unsolvable riddle is still raging over at the Sil thread, I'll just ask a question here:


Who spoke these words? "Out of the Great Sea I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world"

[Eonwë]

Actually, two people said these words.

One was Aragorn, at his coronation.

However, if you mean who first said them, that would be Elendil.

[Ancalagon]

Correct

[Eonwë]

Ok, I'll keep this simple: Name for me the last king of Gondor and what happened to him to cause the Stewards to rule the nation.

[glorfindel]

Earnur, the last king of Gondor, went to Minas Morgul in an attempt to do battle with the Witch King. He of course never returned and left no living heir in Gondor. The Stewards held lordship over the nation until the return of king elessar

[Eonwë]

Correct. All yours :}

[glorfindel]

okay, here's my riddle:

serving butter & barley this evening..

[ArPharazon]

I'd be thinking of Barliman Butterbur, the Prancing Pony, and anything concerning this particular innkeeper.

[glorfindel]

is your guess butterbur or prancing pony?

[ArPharazon]

Yeah, kinda figured I wouldn't get away with that answer. The exact riddle confuses me as to which answer to choose, but that's probably the point.

I'll go with Butterbur. This time.

[glorfindel]

Nope

[ArPharazon]

Then I'll go for the Prancing Pony inn!

[glorfindel]

Nope again : )

[ArPharazon]

Very well, too rash on my account. I'll a bit closer to the riddle now and go with Nob, Butterbur's hobbit-servant on that particular evening.
