"Oi Smeagol, in here now. I want LotR trivia"

Smeagol, you are among the finest of men. I don't know who you are, yet you are a massive fan of LotR. Therefore, let us trivia. On our own knowledge, mine you. Anyone can join in, if they wish.

First question, bit of an easy one: Who has the Ring of Water?

Second Question: What race are both Gandalf, Saruman, and Sauron?

Third Question: Where is Don Guldor?

More later, if you can answer them ;-)

Yep, right on both counts. Now for the full verse that you missed:

Your verse.

His lance was long, his sword was keen
His mighty helm afar was seen
The endless stars of Heavens Field
Were mirrored in his endless field

Yet long ago he rond away
And where he lay no-one can say
For into darkness fell his Star
In Mordor where the the shadows are.

I don't tend to look at the books.
I would try looking the answers to my questions up(I'll give you that chance to), since you got them wrong, I suppose they where a bit tough ill make them a bit easier next time.
Anyway here goes:

1. King Elessar being Aragorn. It would have been his son 'Eladarion'. I hope Ive spelt that right.

2. The 4 would be Sauruman, Gandalf, Radagast and Palando in the early days, but there is actually '5' members in the later days being Palando's friend 'Alatar' they where both known as the 'Blue Wizards'.

3. I know very litte of the verse only the first bit, I never delved into it much:

GilGalad was an Elven-king!.
Of him the harpers sadly sing
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea!.

Now some EASY ones for you uneducated folk( i.e. you're not sad like me and Smeagol chappie):

1.) Who or what are the Eorlingas?

2.) What is another name for Khazad-dum?

3.) Where is Legolas from?

4.) Who is Lord of the Rings?

5.) Who defies the Riders at the Fjord?

And they are Maia. All of them are Maia. Now, more questions. If we're going to go OBSCURE, then just bring it ;-) No peeking at ye book now

1.) Who is the eldest heir of King Elessar? ( I just remember this for some reason)

2.) Name 4 of the White Council.

3.) Recite the Fall of Gil-Galad ( I know this, Aragorn's Verse, and the Ring Verse, that's all)

The Palantirs? No, they were nine of them. Erm..

2. Where is 'Ivren'?(NOT to be confused with 'Ivrin')

Sounds Ithilien-ish

3.

Ring of Air?

2. Where is 'Ivren'?(NOT to be confused with 'Ivrin')

Actually it is DOL Guldor rather than Don. Should have said that in my answer.

I sure am! : )


And the answers:

1 Galadriel has the ring of water known by it proper name as- 'Nenya'.

2. Gandalf Is Human from the cultured race of the 'Maian Istari' Saruman Is 'Maian' too from the Istari wizards, as for Sauron,(It was a good question)I believe he is 'Numeorean' rather than Maian.

3. Don Guldor is in Southern Mirkwood. Actually it is an old realm of Sauron.
