YEAAHHH I got it haha...

My question is:

About Turin Turambar, what was the full name of the helmet he had and the name he took referring to it?

If someone knows more about the helmet please tell me

[Mhaedros]

The Dragon Helmet of Dor-Lomin

It was a gift from dwarven king Azaghal, from Ered-Luin, who gave it to Fingon after a battle against dragons I think, but it was originally crafted by Telchar the Smith. Fingon gave it to Hador or one of Turin's other forfathers and it went in the family since then.

As a note, Turin's father, Hurin didn't have a neck strong enough to wear the helmet

[crawfs]

I think its full name is "Dragonhead of the north" and the name Turin took referring to it was "Gorthol" meaning "Dread Helm"

[Eönwë]

You can fight who gets the turn, both posts answers it haha...crawfs has Gorthol for an answer which I meant as answer for the name he took but Mhaedros Frey/?captain carrot? says the right name for the helmet and knows a lot more of it (thanks for that!)...

The answers were Dragon Helmet of Dor-Lomin and Gorthol

Anyway Mhaedros Frey/Captain Carrot gets the turn for being the first one to answer...sorry crawfs

[crawfs]

No problem, he clearly knows more about the story than me, I had to google it, Turin wasn't very interesting in my subjective opinion.

Wasn't it given to Maedhros by Fingon who couldn't wear it comfortably and then Maedhros gave it to the House of Hador?

Hmm, you're right there Shall I still take the turn?

[crawfs]

yes you should

[Arǭmēz]

To clear the succession of the bearers of the Dragon Helm.

The Dragon helm was crafted by Telchar of Nogrod for Azaghal Lord of Belegost. Azaghal gave it to Maedhros when he saved him from an Orc raid upon the Dwarf-road (obviously the northern one). MAedhros who often exchanged gifts and token with Fingon sent it to Hithlum. Yet in Hithlum no-one was stout enough to easily wear it except for Hador and his kin...

OK, here we go

Name 5 maiar, except for the Istari and Sauron

Osse, Eonwe, Ilmare,Uinen and Melian. I could name more if it wasn't limited.

[Mhaedros]

You mustn't name more

Your turn

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Continuing the Maiar theme: Who created the Ulmuri?

[crawfs]

According to google, they were crafted by the Maia Salmar.

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Your turn.

[crawfs]

What was the first of the stories that Tolkien wrote (concerning the world of Arda) and when did he write it?

[Mhaedros]

Maybe The Fall of Gondolin? I seem to remember he wrote it while he was in the war 1920'ish

[crawfs]

Right story, near right time frame, there's a specific one or two years that are mentioned when it was written.

[Mhaedros]

1919

[crawfs]

Not according to the source I have, though that year does supposedly point towards the amendment of the story.
