Middle-earth Trivia

[Lusted]

The sons of elrond.

Who are the sons of feanor?

[Niles Crane]

Maehdros, Meglor, Amrod, Amras, Curufin, Caranthir and Celegorm.

I'll try to think of one. My memory isn't so good with this now.

What were the names of the three trolls whom Gandalf turned to stone?

Yeah, I know, it's easy.

[Garbarsardar]

The sons of elrond.

Who are the sons of feanor?

I got that a nanosecond before you as you can see in the post previous to yours... :laughing:

[MasterOfNone]

Is it a trick question? Gandalf turned no trolls to stone.

[Professor420]

Now, who is the oldest living creature in middle earth during the time of the War of the Rings? And why?

Isn't this going to be a toss up between Smaug (if that can be considered during the war), the Balrog of Moria, Galadriel, Gandalf, and Sauron? (I didn't want anyone to feel left out, so I answered this instead)

[Arakorn]

It's not the elves at least, and you can't be sure of Gandalf, as he was (probably) sent to Middle-earth for a special purpose . I think it's Sauron, since he's a maya. Balrog of Moria was created by Melkor (I think), but I don't think that Smaug was, wasn't he a son/daughter of another dragon?

[tomdidiot]

Well, Saruman, Gandalf, the Balrog and Sauron were ALL Maia.

[bon]

whats a maia? and where can i read about these sort of incites to middle earth? i find them quite interesting

[Amroth]

What were the names of the three trolls whom Gandalf turned to stone?

Bert, Tom and William.

Is it a trick question? Gandalf turned no trolls to stone.

That's true, though he did trick them into forgetting about the sun.

Now, who is the oldest living creature in middle earth during the time of the War of the Rings? And why?

Tom Bombadil. I know Gandalf says in LotR that Fangorn is the oldest living thing on Middle-earth, but Tom Bombadil himself says that he is "Eldest", and that he was there "before the rivers and the trees".

Next question:

What were the names of the twin sons of Folcwine who died in the Battle of the Crossings of Poros?

Apoc

[Amroth]

Bon: In the Beginning there was Eru Ilúvatar, the One, and he made the Ainur, the Holy Ones. Together they made Arda, and those of the Ainur who desired it entered into the World; these Ainur are divided into Valar (the greatest among the Ainur) and Maiar.

Melkor (Morgoth) was a Vala, and his servant Sauron was a Maia. So were the Balrogs and the Istari (the Wizards). If you wish to know more you should read the Silmarillion.

[bon]

where can i get it from though? and i dont really want to spend huge amounts of money lol

[Amroth]

I'd suggest the library, then. Or you could get the paperback from any (online) bookstore for around £5.

[Lusted]

Gandalf was not 350 years old. Even though he only appeared in middle-earth for a short time before the war of the ring (relatively), as a maia he has existed since beofre the world was created.

[Lovincheeseiswrong]

lol no coz tree beard says " ahhhh YOUNG master gandalf "

[Lusted]

Well that doesn't mean he is. Gandalf is a maia, and as such has been around since before the first age. As has sauron, as he is also a maia.

[Amroth]

This is the question to answer:

Silly Sod.

Galadriel is well over 7,000 years old, for goodness's sake, she lived through 3 ages, Elrond is AT LEAST 6,500 years old, Legolas is AT LEAST 3,000 years old, the Ring is around 5,000 years old, Gimli was around 80, gandalf, Sauruman, Sauron and the Balrog were VERY old, much older than treebeard anyway, and Aragorn is actually around 90 years old.

[bon]

yeah makes sense that aragorn is old seen as the numenor(sp) blood is strong in him. werent there hundreds of balrogs origionally?
