There are two new quizzes--one on Merry and one on Pippin--if anyone would care to try their knowledge of Hobbits. They are on the "General" quiz page. Have fun!

Good to keep trivia fans sharp...esp. the hardcore book fans.

You know, Eruanna, we (or at least I--shouldn't volunteer others) will take requests. Maybe you'd like a nice Haldir quiz. Shall I see what I can do?

It ticks me off that the films (FOTR) gave Galadriel one of Haldir's most profound lines: "The world is indeed full of peril..."

Thank you, Ellisk, for this quiz on an unsung hero...
Next, a quiz on Beleg of the Bow...who wist no sire, clad in grey, green and brown!

Your wish is my command. I'm not sure I can get a whole quiz just on Beleg--I'll have to do some re-reading to see what actual material there is there. But I am certain I can work him into some sort of themed quiz. I will play with that next weekend.

Ellisk:
Thank you again for the great, short quiz on a (thanks to the beauty in the movies ) very much underappreciated character with some of the profoundest, philosophical lines in the books.
I have found that the Silm is a good place to start with Mr. Strongbow, but the Lays of Beleriand (poetry) have the best information on him, his interaction with Turin, Thingol et al, and his appearance (swoon!) and what he wore and toted around.
Yes, Beleg is MY first love! How about a quiz on the tragic life of Turin? Heck, Glaurung the dragon (bred by Morgoth himself!), Finduilas AKA Faelivrin, Gwindor...many characters who were touched by his tragedy!
Thanks again for a quiz on ONE of my boys! --Eruanna

You are a true breeder of quiz bunnies. I like all of these and your idea about a Sons of Feanor quiz. I love the Silm and I will happily write quizzes on characters / stories from it.
