Middle-earth Journeys

Annúminas, Amon Sûl and Osgiliath's stones were destroyed. Elostirion in the Tower Hills was taken to Amen with Frodo et al. I believe that stone was a gift from Gil-galad to Elendil. The Anor-stone and the Orthanc-stone stayed in M-e. The Ithil-stone was in Barad-dûr during the War of the Ring but the fate is unknown.

Now this eighth stone I had to dig up (pun intended ) in the Sil. The Masterstone resides in Avallone upon Eressea.

Nicely done Philipa! A gold star for you.

You're up.

Level 1

Finish this phrase;

Faithful servant yet master's bane,...

" . . . Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane."

I can remember that, but not my cellphone number.

Righto Merry. Your turn and don't worry about the cell phone number thing.

Okay, then!

Level 1: What are the three varieties of pipe-weed for which the Southfarthing is best known?

Ah pipeweed that nasty habit.

Let's see if I can remember them....Longbottom Leaf, Old Toby and Southern something.....

Southern Star

Yes, indeed--you two make a good team! Since Philipa got most of the answer, should she go next?

I have been reading the Prologue to LOTR, from whence came the questioin on pipeweed. It occurs to me on this reading, moreover, that it reveals at least some important information about how the trilogy ends, including the fact that Merry, Pippin, and Faramir all survive to tell the tale and that someone named Elessar becomes King in Gondor!

Riv do you want to do the honors or shall I?

You did the lion's share of the work Philipa...it's all yours.

Level 1 geography question

Where is Erebor located?

Erebor is located between Mirkwood and the Iron Hills.

Phew you are fast. And yes you are correct.

Level 1.5

What event caused the Elves, led by Elrond, to seek out and establish Rivendell? A gold star if you can tell us the year of this event.
