Since we're on a new page, I'll review:

Where Am I?
Clue: Lost


Previous responses:
1. No - not mentioned in The Hobbit.
2. No - not a river.
3. Yes - this place is accessible in the Third Age.
4. No. This place can be found.

New ones:
5. Yes - it is west of Rivendell.
6. People did not live precisely at this specific location, but people dwelt nearby, so overall that is a no.

Is this a location the 4 hobbits pass through on their journey to Rivendell?

7. Nope, not passed by or through by the hobbits.

I should have asked if any member of the Fellowship passed through here on their journey to Rivendell. Ah well, I'm going to take a stab with my guess for this round...

is it Tharbad? Where Boromir lost his horse on his search for Rivendell.

Was this place considered part of the realm of Arnor?

Is this place on the coast or does it border the ocean?

It is not Tharbad.
It is not Annuminas.

8. I'm going to admit I struggled to find a definitive answer in the 3 texts for this game. From my research online, it appears at least part of this location was part of Arnor at some point in time.
9. Yes, this is a coastal location.

Is the clue referring to something/an item that was lost at this location and never found again?

Would this location be on or associated with the Gulf of Lune?

Is it the Ice Bay of Forochel, in which the Palantiri of the North were lost?

Is it forochel... oh someone beat me to it

Yes, it is the Ice Bay of Forochel where both the Palantiri and King Arvedui (& crew) were lost.

On to you @Balfur with an honorable mention for @Dwarrow Elf. :smile:

Had the hunch for a bit, but with the hobbits not passing through I was quite certain. Anyway, it seems this task falls to me again. We've had who and where; let's go for what!

What am I?
Clue: death

Is this muffin related? Or, related to any sort of spongy, cake-like baked product?

IS IT CURRY? Is it something made of metal?

Well that escalated according to an appropriate pace...
1. No, it is not a weapon.
2. No, alas it is not muffin related. Not even related to any sort of spongy, cake-like baked products.
3. Yes, this object is made of metal. (It is not curry though)
4. Yes, this object is mentioned in the Silmarillion

Is it a type of armor (shield, helmet, etc.)?

Could the object be considered a type of jewelry or decoration?

Did groups of people fight over (and die) for this object?

You are correct, @Dwim! It is indeed the Necklace of the Dwarves.
You're up!

Thanks Balfur!

I'm going to go with a place this time, so guess away.

Clue: storage

1. Yes, it is a location in The Shire

Is this location in Hobbiton?

Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2020 4:14 pm

is it the Mathom-house at Michel Delving? Where hobbits put items they don't have much use for but don't want to throw away. :grin:

Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

Is it the locked drawer, smelling of mothballs, where Bilbo stored his old cloak and hood?

Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2020 9:50 pm
by Dwim
Well, that's a lot of guesses. But the only correct guess is the Lockholes. They were previously used as storage-tunnels before becoming a prison.

I would have to say that could be a record! :lol: I'll have to tighten my clues up...

@Ta'leus Shieldsong, your turn

As soon as you said Shire @Dwim, my mind immediately went to Michel Delving. I was debating the Mathom-House vs. the Lockholes, but I went with my gut since the Lockholes were mostly storage before. Haha.

Alrighty folks, a new one for you! I really hope this one stumps people.

What am I?
Clue: Noldor

Yes, @Elvheimdros it was.

@Dwim I didn't realize the hobbits had so many storage places. :googly:

Is this item a weapon?

Are they Feanorien Lamps?

@Boromir88 is it not specifically a weapon, no.
@Dwarrow Elf it is not the Feanorian Lamps.

@Aerlinn, It was not made by Feanor.

I will give y'all a hint and say it is a very niche object.

Yes, @Boromir88 is was made by the Noldor, for the Noldor.

Was this object made in Middle Earth (meaning, not the Undying Lands)?

Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

Did others, besides the Noldor, ever acquire and use this object?
