As I love this thread and there have been no further replies, I'm going to ask a new question.

Who was Tar Aldarion's son?

[Wolfeson]

Alright, no one else has come up with anything, so at risk of sounding stupid I'm just going to say what we're all thinking. As far as I can tell from every source I can find, Tar-Aldarion never had a son. It is explicitly stated in multiple sources that his only child with Erendis was his daughter and successor, Ancalime (they lived apart after her birth, and this was also why they changed the succession laws), and I cannot find any mention of any other marriage or illegitimate child (come to think of it, are there ANY examples of illegitimate children in LoTR?). I'm not sure if you mean a "son" in a more figurative sense, but your question seems to explicitly ask for a literal, biological son.

You're very much right! I asked a trick question.Your turn now!

[Wolfeson]

List all of Eldarion's great-grandparents. Note: one of them is never named, so you'll have to use "<x>'s father/mother/wife/husband" for that one.

maternal : Earendil - Elwing +
Galadriel -Celeborn
paternal: Arador -wife +
Dírhael -Ivorwen

[Wolfeson]

It's actually Dirhael, not Nirhael, but yes, correct. Your turn.

[knight of meh]

i have been putting Dirhael but my predictive typing keeps changing it.... that's why my post has been edited like 5 times..

alright onto the question..

in the hobbit it says "the elves call it mithril" what is it referred to as by the narrator/company ?

True Silver?

True Silver?

close

[Mhaedros]

Noble Silver?

[knight of meh]

^ no but it does include silver ...

[Duke of Metz]

Silver-steel.

With that he put on Bilbo a small coat of mail, wrought for some young elf-prince long ago. It was of silver-steel, which the elves call mithril, and with it went a belt of pearls and crystals.

[knight of meh]

correct your turn and i was being kinda mean because that was unlikely to appear on the internet and it is most likely the only referene in the book well done duke

[Duke of Metz]

I don't have a good question prepared, so how about this one. Name all of the places in Arda it is mentioned that mithril was found (any/all Ages).

[knight of meh]

not sure about this ... Moria , Aman and Númenor?

and am i allowed to guess right after giving a question?

[Duke of Metz]

I believe you are correct. I had it in my head that it was also found in the Glittering Caves in the 4th Age, but I cannot find text to support that claim. I must have misinterpreted it when it says the Gates of Minith Tirith were rebuilt of steel and mithril by the dwarves of Aglarond. You're turn!

[knight of meh]

in the hobbit what is the first thing Bilbo attempts to steal?

and Gimili and his friends did make the doors but it doesn't say were they got the mithril from

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

The talking Troll purse.

[knight of meh]

correct your turn

How did Sauron die in the War of the Last Alliance, and whom was he killed by?
