Who in Middle-Earth knew where the Istari came from?

Gandalf and Saruman and Radagast knew beyond doubt

Even as the first shadows were felt in Mirkwood there appeared in the west of Middle-earth the Istari, whom Men called the Wizards. None knew at that time whence they were, save Círdan of the Havens, and only to Elrond and to Galadriel did he reveal that they came over the Sea

Right again, Marky - you to go.

Marky Lazer · 4th June 2007, 08:10 PM

Okay then...

What are the names of the seven rivers in Ossiriand?

The Ascar (or Rathloriel)
The Thalos,
The Legolin,
The Brilthor,
The Duilwen,
and the Adurant.

How weak a quotation there!

*mutters* Well, if you want to play it this way...

pyan · 4th June 2007, 08:55 PM

What do you want - a picture? How the hell else can I reference a map??

Marky Lazer · 4th June 2007, 08:58 PM

I was kidding, sir!

pyan · 4th June 2007, 09:16 PM

Difficult to tell at times!!

Well, assuming I'm correct (heavy irony!):

Who did Bilbo pass on Dain's gift to?

Marky Lazer · 4th June 2007, 09:34 PM

Quote:

"I beg of you," said Bilbo stammering and standing on one foot, "to accept this gift!" and he brought out a necklace of silver and pearls that Dain had given him at their parting.
"In what way have I earned such a gift, O hobbit?" said the king.

The Hobbit, Chapter 18: The Return Journey

The king being "the Elven king," of course.

Correctamundo - and far too quick!
Your go, and a new silver bell (remember?

)

Marky Lazer · 4th June 2007, 09:40 PM

Oh, the bells... Yes, I keep them in an old shoebox under my bed!

Which words isn't Bilbo allowed to use near Beorn?

pyan · 4th June 2007, 09:47 PM

Furrier, Rug, Cape, Tippet, Muff.

Quote:

(Gandalf said) ...and in the name of all wonder don't mention the word furrier again as long as you are within a hundred miles of his house, nor rug, cape, tippet, muff, nor any other such unfortunate word!

The Hobbit, Ch7, Queer Lodgings

Marky Lazer · 4th June 2007, 09:49 PM

Tsk... now who's talking about "far too quick?"

pyan · 4th June 2007, 09:59 PM

Yep! but accurate!
