Middle-earth Journeys

Would that be truesilver, or most commonly known as mithril?

You have answered part of the question correctly Bruce, Ithildin was made of mithril. ...But what was another name for Ithildin?

Known as starmoon but better translated as moomsparkle.

Yes Bruce you have answered correctly...your turn.

Since the writting of moonsparkle has kindled conversation, there are also moon letters or runes. Elrond translated a piece once, what did it say and when was it scripted?
Level 1.5

Bruce, since no one has volunteered to answer your Hobbit question, I'll give it a go.

Master Elrond held up Thorin's map and the white light of the midsummer's eve crescent moon revealed the following: "Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks, and the setting sun with the last light of Durin's Day will shine upon the key-hole."

He also explained that, "The dwarves invented them [moon-letters] and wrote them with silver pens . . . . These must have been written on a midsummer's eve in a crescent moon, a long while ago."

That is correct and concise, your go.

Well done Lindariel. I look forward to your trivia question.

OK, let's stay with the category of writing and runes. This is probably a level 2 - 3 question.

What is Tengwar? When was it invented? Who invented it and who perfected it?

Tengwar was invented before the exile of the Noldor in the First Age by Rúmil of Tirion, perfected by Fëanor.

Almost there Airwin! You answered everthing correctly except the first part of the question -- What is Tengwar?

Oops! Sorry I left out the most important part!

Tengwar is a writing system written with brush or pen.

Write . . . excuse me . . . Right you are, Airwin! Your turn!

Forgive me for taking so long! Here is my question (level 1.5?):

What and where is the Endless Stair, when was it built, and when was it destroyed?

The Endless stair was the winding stair that went from the depths of Kazahdum to the peak of Zirakzigil. It was built was in the First Age under the rule of Durin the Deathless, and the tower that stood upon its peak was named Durin's Tower, upon what is also translated as Silver Point.
The bridge at Kazadum was broken by Gandlaf 23 January III 3019. The Balrog and he fought on those stairs until they reached the peak of Zirakzigil where Gandalf threw down his enemy and smote his ruin apon the mountain side. The Balrog and in all likelyhood the stairs came to their end the 25 January III 3019.
