“And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.” ~ The Silmarillion

Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Jul 11, 2006	Permalink Closed What has roots that no-one sees, Up up it goes yet never it grows? __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 11, 2006	Permalink Closed wow...that is a hard one... I dunno if it has something to do with the Swarves, but I guess we can make exceptions... hmmm...roots...up up it goes... perhaps a mountain noone sees the roots of mountains they never grow (well maybe only by tectonic movements, but there were no earthquakes in ME) and...they go up up __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Jul 11, 2006	Permalink Closed Well I am baffled as to how you worked it out... The Might = Glorfindel = __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 11, 2006	Permalink Closed well I thought about the "roots" thing because mountains are also sometimes called the trees of Aule...and I guess that the "roots of the mountain" is fitting, though I am not sure... __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Jul 11, 2006	Permalink Closed I am joking TM. And seeing as Dwarves spend much of there time in mountains I gues its well on topic. Yes you are right... -- Edited by Glorfindel1235 at 22:24, 2006-07-11 __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 11, 2006	Permalink Closed oh...nice hehe...quite proud of myself... hmmm...what could I ask... I have very little body hair Though elf I am not The Orcs attack me seldom dare Against them I always fought __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 12, 2006	Permalink Closed Thats a really tough one TM. mmm... I guessing its not a person as all dwarves had body hair (as far as I know). So I guess its a thing. Maybe a weapon or something. I will guess the sword born by Thorin, Orcrist. __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 12, 2006	Permalink Closed it almost fits but...I said "I have very little body hair" so this is a creature not an object __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 13, 2006	Permalink Closed Ok...a creature with very little body hair. Well, my first thought then is Gollum but I don't think that fits either. I'll have to sleep on it. __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 13, 2006	Permalink Closed not necessarily one...the term can be general, there are more of this kind I think you'll get the answer soon __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 13, 2006	Permalink Closed Maybe Ents?  Although it isnt exactly dwarf related. __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 13, 2006	Permalink Closed hmm...well...not really, but I'm gonna consider it correct I was thinking about the Druedain, which are very oftenly associated with Dwarves, and sometimes with Hobbits, even though they are Men and they do indeed have very little body hair they always hated the ORcs, and fought against them the Ents...do fit most of it, but again they have no body hair at all... but still, I consider it correct __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Jul 13, 2006	Permalink Closed TM thats a bit underhanded. How can you consider 'Ents' correct when you were looking for Druedain??? __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 13, 2006	Permalink Closed I will leave the floor open as I don't think it would be too fair for me too take that. __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 13, 2006	Permalink Closed Because Ents did almost fit the question as an answer and because my question wasnt really on topic... __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 16, 2006	Permalink Closed well...anyway, there is a free floor so...I'll ask something more easy to solve I fought against the Great Worm And I saw him coming as a storm And even though I died And suffered defeat I also wounded him And made him retreat __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Jul 17, 2006	Permalink Closed Thats obvious! Turin. There is only one person who slayed the Great Worm. __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Jul 17, 2006	Permalink Closed Ah yes, I just re-read it. So he didn't actually kill Glaurung but wounded him? Hmm... __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 17, 2006	Permalink Closed Glorfindel- The topic of this thread is dwarves so the answer coudn't have been Turin. The dwarf that wounded Glaurung but was slain by him was Azaghal. S I guess that's the answer. __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 17, 2006	Permalink Closed yep...Azaghal it is your turn Bauglir __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 18, 2006	Permalink Closed Who took a message from Azog to Thrain? __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
mouth of sauron Samwise Gamgee - rank 9 Status: Offline Posts: 2366 Date: Jul 18, 2006	Permalink Closed Hmm... this doesn't look too much like a riddle... __________________ My Master Sauron the Great bids thee Welcome....
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 18, 2006	Permalink Closed Ooops. Sorry mos. I thought it was trivia for a minute. -- Edited by Bauglir at 16:36, 2006-07-18 __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
Bauglir Orc captain of Morgul - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 317 Date: Jul 19, 2006	Permalink Closed I can't think of one at the moment. I'll leave the floor open. __________________ "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 19, 2006	Permalink Closed ok...now I personally think that trivia on only one subject is not so good I think that trivia should be perhaps on anything, and not only on a specific selected topic. So I will open a new thread...with the changes made PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE - A NEW THREAD HAS BEEN OPENED __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
