Oops! Almost forgot this.

Level 1-1.5

The word Woses is only used once in The Lord of the Rings. Who mentions them? To whom is this person talking?

Thanks Riv.

I should have looked in "Tolkien Library" before asking that question!

The 'Woses' are the Wild Men of the Woods. Elfhelm of the Roherrim told Merry this.

Good show Riv...I see you've found the Brandybuck of Buckland family tree.

An easy one for you today.

Level 1.0

Riv, the host that confronted the Black Gate were six thousand on foot and one thousand on horse.

Please forgive for hogging the Trivia board...but I LOVE Tolkien geography!

On the island of Númenor, the Nunduinë river flowed into Lake Nísinen and ultimately into Eldalondë.

Level = 2.0?

What was the exact date (day/month/year) that Bilbo left on his adventure with Thorin and the Dwarves? Hint: The year is not listed in the Shire Reckoning.

Level = 2.5?

Extra points: Can you tell me what day of the week it was?

I believe Bilbo left on Thursday 28th April Year 2941
