Ok, here goes:
Whose house was called the House of Ransom and why was it called that? |

Big guess here but:
House of Feanor b/c they would ransom everything to get the Sil's back
and didn't Mandos name them that?
Inglor

Nope, Inglor-darling!
A good guess, though!  |

It looks like somebody has jumped ahead a few chapters  The House of Ransom reference is in the Turin Turambar chapter. So here is the deal - Turin and his band of outlaws run into a group of three dwarves. Two of them run off and they capture the third, which later turns out to be a BAD mistake. The name of the dwarf is Mim. He takes Turin and the Turinettes back to his home which he refers to as Bar-en-Danwedh aka The House of Ransom. Mim's house is referred to by that name because Mim had offered Turin a ransom in exchange for his life.

Yay, Sind got it! Why am I not surprised? 
Throws one nekkid and misunderstood Maia in your general direction! 
Your turn, dearie. |

Why thank you Anna I have been a good girl lately (imagine that  ) and actually finished the Silm yesterday. Let me just say it was beautiful  Now I will have to go back and re-read it as I continue tackling HoME 
As for the next question, I am in a Sauron sort of mood. You can lay the blame squarely at your own feet Anna-Anna because you threw a naked and misunderstood Maia at me
What was so special about the wood used for the first fire used on the altar in the temple created by Annatar in the city of Armenelos?

It was the dead tree Nimloth that was a gift from Tol Eressea.
Now THAT was just mean...
I have this picture of Sauron giggling his butt off on how far the Numenoreans fell.

You are correct and have 24 hours to post the next question.
Somehow the thought of Sauron giggling his butt off rather frightens me

That was agreat question Sind.
This one isn't as clever but hopefully is thought provoking:
Connect Eldarion to Finwe
