Thread: Want to play? Quizz...

    Good effort, but not quite. You have five names correct, but you're missing one, and three of the ones you listed don't count. Reread my note in the question carefully and you'll see which ones those three are.

    You forgot Anarion.

    OK, removing Elendil, Isildur and Ciryandil (cause he was in Umbar, quite hard to rule Gondor from Harad) and add Anarion. I don't really think he should be counted though as he was never a supreme ruler, but always ruling with his brother. Elendil was the High King anyway

    Is it just me, or did you change your avatar?

    Maybe my use of "directly" was unclear. I meant that as "the direct ruler of Gondor", as opposed to a High King who may have authority over Gondor but is not the explicit King of Gondor. That half-sentence was meant to explicitly disqualify Elendil and Isildur, as both were High Kings of Arnor at the time of their deaths with separate Kings of Gondor ruling that kingdom directly (Isildur/Anarion and Meneldil, respectively). That's why Anarion does count; he was the (co-) King of Gondor who had direct authority over that kingdom, whereas Elendil only had authority over Gondor indirectly through his sons. I didn't mean "directly" as a measure of whether they were physically in Gondor when they were killed.

    So, Mhaedros, what's your list at now? And are you actually including Earnur, or did you not really mean to? When I broke down what you had right and wrong, I thought you were including him (that's why the total of what I mentioned was 8).

    OK, my final list:
    Romendacil I, Ciryandil, Castamir the Usurper, Minardil, Ondoher and Anarion

    If this is wrong I'm too tired to continue

    Correct.

    In addition to the ones we already discussed, Earnur also does not count because he is not unequivocally known to have died in battle (no one witnessed his death, and he may have simply been captured and then tortured to death later). Therefore, the list is restricted to the 6 you have.

    Hope you're not too tired to ask a new question.

    Sorry for it being a bit late.

    Which houses of Men relocated to Numenor at the end of the First Age?

    The Three Houses of the Edain [or what remained of them] went to Numenor along with the Druedain [who later left].

    What was the name of the hypothetical Anglosaxon Mariner who found the Straight Road and visited Tol Eressea and brought back the stories on which Tolkien based the Silmarillion?

    Let’s keep enjoying kings and wizards. But also remember to keep them where they belong.
    Where they can do little harm.
    Where they entertain us.
