Tonight's final scores (from the scorekeeper and emcee):
kwsni - 52 eddie - 35 val - 27 narr - 22 bernard - 18 wonko - 6 RRR - 4 and Zev - 3
I'd be willing to bet any of these guys are up for a rematch... and hey! I want to play too! Ah, well, being in charge is a nice change Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

Beren, you raise our hopes, then dash them on the moss-covered rocks! Alas, where will we find a LotR trivia game?

I got the LOTR trivial pursuit for Christmas. I left it at home when I came back here to college. Ask Mr. Funny if he'll get it out and have a trivia night.

Let's just throw out obscure facts we know and see if anyone can answer it.
What was Aragorn's horse named? (his horse in the book, not Brego the wonder horse from the movie. And no, I don't mean Hasufel that Eomer leant him - I mean Aragorn's own horse)

Incanus is the other one I know. If you don't count variations of Gandalf ie. different last names.

Rathspell is what Wormtongue named him. Does that count? And Olorin is supposed to have an acute accent on the second 'o', I think, though I don't know how to do that, offhand.

Roheryn was Aragorn's horse, brought to him by his kin from the north. Hasufel (sp?) is the horse Eomer lend him.

Human pointed out that it should have been "Lathspell" in my post above. I think he's right, though I don't have my books to fact-check.

Orcrist and Glamdring. Biter and Beater. Thorin and Gandalf. (respectfully) Orcrist lay on Thorin's tomb at the lower levels of the Lonely Mountain. Glamdring, I believe, was taken by Gandalf when he left Middle-earth.
I believe they were made in Gondolin, for the Goblin Wars...but I'm not sure exactly by whom.

Ok the bonus is soooo easy, they were made in Gondolin by Telchar, (he made Narsil) for the wars against Morgoth, Glamdring was made for the King of Gondolin, and was lost after the father of dragons destoyed the city after the battle in which men saved the elves fomr destrucion by holding the pass against the orcs, the only race of men that survived were the Numenoreans, but I ramble, anyway, made in Gondolin, by Telchar, to kick some Morgoth ass, BTW Balrog count before LOTR Glamdring 3 Orcrist 5. Just some FYI

What was Elrond's brother's name? The one who founded the race of kings? Elwing popped into my head first, then I thought, no, that was his wife, Arwen's mother. But then I couldn't remember which was true and if so what the other one's name was.
Remind me of the story of the ring of Barahir. I can't remember it.

The ring of Barahir was given to Barahir (father of Beren ) by Finrod for saving his elven bacon in the Dagor Bragollach. The ring was cherished as one of the greatest treasures of the Numenoreans until who lost it?
Bonus point for knowing how the ring was saved from the grasp of the Witchking.

No, it's a mark of pride, because dwarves were normally entombed and never cremated, but the dead from some battle or other (which I can't remember) were so numerous or something that they had to cremate them, and ever after if it was said of some ancestor or other that "he was a burned dwarf" then it meant he was among the fallen in that battle.
Okay, so I remember the gist of the meaning, but forgot all the important details.
And Elros is right, yes! So Elwing was Arwen's mom and Galadriel's daughter? Is that true?
Man, why didn't I bring my Tolkien collection with me on the plane? I am going to go nuts not being able to look stuff up!
