What plant grows around Mim's dwelling?

HieroGlyph · 5th January 2006, 12:36 AM

Would that be just your garden variety of heather?

Marky Lazer · 5th January 2006, 09:32 AM

I bet you mean the flower Seregon.

Marky, you are next

Anyone have any actual description of what 'the red seregon' is, plz?

[Edit: Ive corrected myself, I believe, sorry. Seems seregon is related to stonecrop and not, as I imagined, to heathers.]

I'm not too sure if this is hard enough, but I think it's kind of amazing.

Arda was created when Eru spoke a word; what was that word, and what does is mean in Westron?

fallenstar · 6th January 2006, 03:56 PM

can't remember the second part of the question at the moment, but I think Eru spoke the word Ea, Let it Be!

Marky Lazer · 6th January 2006, 04:08 PM

That is correct. Westron is just the name of the common speech. Your go, Fallenstar.

fallenstar · 7th January 2006, 06:11 AM

hmmmm....I have no idea if someone already asked this question but....

what are the names of the Maiar associated with the Sun and the Moon?

shouldn't be too hard for die-hard Tolkien fans

Treikayan · 7th January 2006, 09:08 AM

I had a question posed about this situation late last year, but it was never answered.

So, the answer is the sun (Anar) and moon (Isil) illuminate the Ilumen. Anar and Isil. From the words we get Minas Anor (later, Minas Tirith) and Isildur (devoted to the moon). His name implys his kinship with the elves. The Maiar who were related to the sun and moon were Arien (Anar) and Tilion (Isil)???

Ok, now I'm going to have to subscribe to the thread, since I'm bound to not check back...

fallenstar · 7th January 2006, 04:02 PM

That is correct...go head Treikayan

Treikayan · 7th January 2006, 06:07 PM

As we know, Fëanor created the Silmarils. They were stolen by Melkor, though, and imbedded on a crown on his head. Fëanor leads the Noldor out of Aman to reclaim them. After the three Silmarils are recovered by three individuals, where do they end up? What were their fates more specifically? (I'm sticking to the Silmarillion for the answer).

Marky Lazer · 7th January 2006, 06:55 PM

One Simaril drove Maedhros mad and he threw himself into a fiery chasm with the jewel, Maglor threw the other into the depths of the sea. The last one is in the possession of Earendil.

Treikayan · 7th January 2006, 08:53 PM

Richtig...you're up Mark

Marky Lazer · 8th January 2006, 01:50 AM

A speculative question maybe... but...

Who was Tolkien's most tragic hero and why?
