Are you bipedal?

For Recap's Sake:

1. Yes, this individual dies on-page
2. I am not aligned with the forces of Sauron
3. No, I did not speak directly to any of the Fellowship
4. It's not explicitly stated in the text, but one has to assume the answer is yes
5. To my knowledge I am not described as any larger than the average human, so I'm gonna say no to this question
6. It was never specified in the text, so I'm going to say, no island living for yours truly
7. No, I am not human
8. I am not alive during the Third Age
9. I am not one of the Maiar
10. I am not Maeglin
11. No, my name does not start with an 'A'
12. No, I was not alive in the Second Age
13. I am not Maedhros
14. Yes, I am in league with Morgoth

Are you a Boldog?

Posted: **Sat Jul 23, 2022 7:55 pm**

16. None of the sources say I am, thusly I will say no, I am not a Boldog

Posted: **Sat Jul 23, 2022 8:51 pm**

Were you alive before the first age?

Posted: **Sat Jul 23, 2022 11:44 pm**

17. There's no indication in the text I was alive before the First Age so I'll say no, I wasn't alive before the First Age

Posted: **Sun Jul 24, 2022 11:58 am**

Do you have a name?

Posted: **Sun Jul 24, 2022 12:48 pm**

Are you a Dwarf?

Posted: **Sun Jul 24, 2022 7:41 pm**

18. I do have a name
19. I am not a Dwarf

Posted: **Sun Jul 24, 2022 8:01 pm**

Are you an elf?

Posted: **Mon Jul 25, 2022 3:05 pm**

Did you have the honor of being quoted in the text ("Let's go Melkor!" said person)?

Posted: **Mon Jul 25, 2022 6:09 pm**

20. No, I am not an elf
21. As far as I've read, no I've not been quoted in the text

Posted: **Mon Jul 25, 2022 7:50 pm**

Are you the Captain of Morgoth?

Posted: **Mon Jul 25, 2022 8:03 pm**

Did this person ever anger Gwindor?

Posted: **Tue Jul 26, 2022 5:46 pm**

22. As in Gothmog? no, I am not Gothmog
23. I'm sure in a general sense, but no, I was never someone who specifically angered Gwindor

Posted: **Tue Jul 26, 2022 8:38 pm**

Are you Lady Ungoliant?

Posted: **Tue Jul 26, 2022 10:19 pm**

Did you participate in the Wrath War (War of Wrath)?

Posted: **Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:12 pm**

No, not Gothmog. I realized later that this could not be the answer to who am I. This character had no name except Captain of Morgoth (A leader of the Orcs at the Nirnaeth); more so a title. Captain of Morgoth is in The Silmarillion, The Children of Húrin and HoME vol.11.

edit - Gothmog was a Balrog in the First Age.

Are you an orc?

Posted: **Wed Jul 27, 2022 9:27 pm**

24. I am not Lady Ungoliant
25. I did not participate in the War of Wrath
26. Ah! I see what you were asking now so I'll retroactively answer that as "No, I'm not the Captain of Morgoth
26a. Yes, I am an orc

Posted: **Wed Jul 27, 2022 11:30 pm**

Hahaha, love this!

Were you a chief?

Posted: **Thu Jul 28, 2022 3:57 am**

27. I was indeed a chief!

Posted: **Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:42 am**

Am I Gorgol the Butcher from the Lay of Leithian?

Posted: **Thu Jul 28, 2022 10:17 am**

Were you the chiefest champion?

Posted: **Thu Jul 28, 2022 5:11 pm**

28. You might be Gorgol the Butcher, but I am not, no.
29. I am the chiefest champion, I think you're onto something here

Posted: **Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:27 pm**

Am I Orcobal then, slain by Ecthelion before the Gates of Gondolin?

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:10 am**

Did you have a better death than Barristan Selmy in the Game of Thrones TV Show (spoilers if you haven't watched that part yet)?

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 8:34 am**

Aik: you are correct, the floor is yours
Rivvy: I don't even know why you asked that and thusly can't give a remotely intelligent answer

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 12:51 pm**

Frost: I hadn't expected my guess would have been right. It was for me a shot in the dark, with admittingly the help from Tolkien Gateway. Thanks!

Following Frost's starting example, as we had a Who question, I am moving the What question:

So what am I?

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 3:39 pm**

@Après moi le déluge barristan was setup as an ecthelion in martial skills and died to a bunch of unnamed mooks without leaving a hill of bodies, widely considered as one of the most underwhelming deaths in the tv show. The answer would’ve been “yes” because at least the orc died to a famous warrior. As for why I asked, there are differences in death (old age, illness, battle, etc) particularly death in battle. The difference between Orodreth and Fingon’s death. Was the death worthy of song or of scorn? Does that help clarify the asking of the question?

@Aikári Salmarinian are you capitalized in writing in Tolkien’s works?

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:40 pm**

Rivvy: I'm quite aware of what you were trying to say in your previous post, my question was more a philosophical "why" than a practical one. I think your attempt at being clever was a bit flat-footed and overreached, but that's neither here nor there because your question came after the correct guess so there is no answer to give and we're off to the races on another question.

So...
Are you an object of significance to the Eldar?

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 8:42 pm**

Frost's question: 1. I could have a sort of relation to the Eldar, but sadly to say I am not.

Rivvy's question: I always capitalise the first letter of words in any significant work, such as 'Lay of Leithian'. But I don't understand if yours is now related to the new question. If it is...
2. Aye I could be capitalised if you wish me to be.

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 9:37 pm**

Are you metal?

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:54 pm**

@Après moi le déluge The long answer would derail the thread. Could PM you details on discord if you wish. Short answer is that it makes me happier, which is a challenge these days.

@Aikári Salmarinian Yup, I was asking a question on your object.

Here's another question: can the object be used as a reliable weapon?

Posted: **Sat Jul 30, 2022 7:01 am**

Recap:

1. I could have a sort of relation to the Eldar, but sadly to say I am not.
2. Aye I could be capitalised if you wish me to be.
3. No I am not metal.
4. Yes, it could be used a reliable weapon.

Posted: **Sat Jul 30, 2022 7:55 am**

Rivvy: No need, if it's for your amusement then I suppose that's all that's required.

Are you an object utilized by the enemy?

Posted: **Sat Jul 30, 2022 2:05 pm**

5. No, I am not utilised by the enemy, but I could be if they knew about me and then be corrupted.

Posted: **Sun Jul 31, 2022 5:12 am**

Are you an object some people might consider going to war in order to obtain?

Posted: **Sun Jul 31, 2022 8:07 am**

6. Yes, that could happen, that some people might consider going to war in order to obtain me, to safeguard or destroy; depending how important they find me.

Posted: **Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:31 am**

Is this object in the safekeeping of Men?

Posted: **Sun Jul 31, 2022 12:00 pm**

7. Yes, some Mannish people do certainly safekeep me.

Recap:

1. I could have a sort of relation to the Eldar, but sadly to say I am not.
2. Aye I could be capitalised if you wish me to be.
3. No I am not metal.
4. Yes, it could be used a reliable weapon.

Posted: **Sun Jul 31, 2022 6:23 pm**

Can this object harm the Witch-King of Angmar?

Posted: **Sun Jul 31, 2022 9:11 pm**

Are you a specific object people use to communicate?

Posted: **Mon Aug 01, 2022 12:20 am**

Are you like a powerful crystalline globe?

Posted: **Mon Aug 01, 2022 6:09 am**

7. Yes, some Mannish people do certainly safekeep me.
8. Harm I don't know, but the Witchking would not like me at all.
9. In a sense yes, people use me in communication.
10. Alas I am not round at all or made of crystal.

Posted: **Mon Aug 01, 2022 5:49 pm**

Is it sharp?

Posted: **Mon Aug 01, 2022 6:35 pm**

are you the Red Arrow?

Posted: **Mon Aug 01, 2022 7:12 pm**

11. No, I am not sharp.
12. And no, I am not the Red Arrow (was a nice guess though, with the symbolism behind the weapon you're heading bit in the direction!).

Posted: **Tue Aug 02, 2022 10:07 am**

Did you exist in the First Age?

Posted: **Tue Aug 02, 2022 2:08 pm**

13. No, I did not exist in the First Age.
