Which of these drinks is not served at Bilbo's unexpected party for the dwarves at the start of 'The Hobbit'?

red wine
ale
white wine
porter

**Wolfeson** · September 18, 2012, 07:50 PM

White wine is not served.

"Some called for ale, and some for porter...", and Gandalf asks for "A little red wine, I think, for me."

**Incredible Bulk** · September 18, 2012, 08:12 PM

You are correct

**Wolfeson** · September 18, 2012, 10:22 PM

Name all the Kings of Numenor who ruled after usurping the throne (there is more than one).

**Arǭmēz** · September 19, 2012, 02:42 AM

Tar Anducal who took the sceptre after the death of his wife: Tar-Vanimelde, withholding the rule from his son.
Tar Calion/Ar-Pharazon who usurped the sceptre of Tar-Miriel.

**Wolfeson** · September 19, 2012, 03:17 AM

Correct!

**Arǭmēz** · September 19, 2012, 04:52 AM

Name the sons and grandson of Imrahil

**Wolfeson** · September 19, 2012, 05:20 AM

His sons are Elphir, Erchirion, and Amrothos, and his known grandson is King Elfwine of Rohan (through his daughter, Lothiriel).

**Arǭmēz** · September 19, 2012, 05:22 AM

got the sons correct. one grandson missing...

**Wolfeson** · September 19, 2012, 12:34 PM

Ah yes, forgot Alphros (Elphir's son). I stopped looking after Elfwine because you said "grandson" (singular) in the question.

**Wolfeson** · September 19, 2012, 08:39 PM

So.....right/wrong?

**Arǭmēz** · September 20, 2012, 02:12 AM

Yes correct

**Wolfeson** · September 20, 2012, 02:17 AM

Ok. Besides the horse, what heraldric emblem is frequently used by the Rohirrim?

**ErgoSumm** · September 20, 2012, 05:18 AM

Hi, new to this thread, and making educated guesses;
Is it the golden sun on sheilds (This was on King Theoden's sheild in the battle of the Pelennor feilds, I think)?
Or if I may venture another guess, the horn (of helm hammerhand)?

**Wolfeson** · September 20, 2012, 05:29 AM

It is, in fact, the sun. Aside from the fact that this emblem is featured prominently in the movies and on the Rohirrim units in TATW, it is specifically mentioned in the text of Two Towers.

The guards outside Theoden's hall are described: "Their golden hair was braided on their shoulders; the sun was blazoned on their green shields, their long corslets were burnished bright, and when they rose taller they seemed than mortal men." -King of the Golden Hall

Your turn.

**ErgoSumm** · September 20, 2012, 06:05 AM

Thanks,
Many be an easy one you all you lore-ests, but what was the crime and "punishment" of Beregond?

Forgot to add, sorry for not reping you yet Wolfeson (not been on long enough), Will do as soon as able (may be a while).

**Feanaro Curufinwe** · September 20, 2012, 08:33 AM

The crime was disobeying Denethor and killing his servants in defense of Faramir, and his ''punishment" was being made Captain of Faramir's personal Guard in Ithilien.
