There is a specific name that I am looking for.

Hmmmm acording to this nifty graph I found here, it would be Tawarwaith.

Very, very cool graph, Philipa. But it's not Tawarwaith. Sorry.

OK I'll let someone else give it a try.

Mararan, is it Nandorin, also called Danian?

Yes it is.

It's your turn, Riv.

Level 2

How many days did it take for the Fellowship to reach the East Gate of Moria from their starting point of Rivendell?

The Fellowship left Rivendell on December 25, 3018 and arrived at the East Gate of Moria on January 13, 3019 for a total of 20 days..if my memory serves me correctly..

Ooops...remember Tolkien wrote his Middle-earth calendar a wee bit different from our Roman calendar.

Want to try again?

I'll give someone else a chance....

OK...it is hint time.

EL has the starting and ending dates correct...but Tolkien only has 30 days in his December calendar...and...he has the season called Yule inserted.

Guesses?

If Tolkien does not include December 31st perhaps the answer is 19?

Don't forget to add in the Yule days.

I have no idea how many 'yule days' there are.

OK I'll guess two days for Yule...that would make it 21. How's my guess?
