Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Galadriel is to Lorien as Melian is to where?

Answer: Doriath

Galadriel rules in the forest of Lorien at the time of the War of the Ring, but she is one of the oldest of the elves having participated in the Noldor's return to Middle Earth in pursuit of Melkor. Melian was queen to King Thingol in the great forest kingdom of Doriath in the lands of Beleriand.

As one of the Maia she wielded great power and her spells kept Doriath hidden from the outside world for much of the First Age.
2. Bard is to Smaug as Turin is to who?

Answer: Glaurung

Bard shot down the dragon Smaug with his lucky black arrow as it wreaked havoc over the skies of Laketown. Turin's troubled life came to an end shortly after he dispatched the dragon Glaurung. Glaurung's dying words revealed the truth of Turin's life and drove him to suicide.
3. Beren was to Luthien as Tuor was to who?

Answer: Idril

Tuor the son of Huor married the elven princess Idril and from their union was born Earendil the Mariner. Beren's love for the elven princess Luthien was so great that he ventured into the depths of Angband and stole a Silmaril to win her hand in marriage.
4. Gandalf is to Shadowfax as Eorl is to which horse?

Answer: Felarof

Both Shadowfax and Felarof are from the noble line of horses the Mearas believed to be descended from Orome's white steed Nahar.
5. Thorin is to Oakenshield as Dain is to what?

Answer: Ironfoot

Thorin gained his name in the final battle of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs when he was forced to use a branch of wood as a shield. In the same battle a young Dain slew the Orc leader Azog on the steps of Khazad-dum. He declined to enter the great Dwarven fortress after seeing Durin's bane lurking within.
6. Woses are to Druadan as the Lossoth are to what?

Answer: Forochel

The Woses proved loyal friends to the Rohirrim at the time of the War of the Ring, leading them around Sauron's forces on the way to Gondor. As a reward for their service they were granted the forest of Druadan after the war's end.
The Lossoth were a mysterious race of men who lived amongst the cold and ice. They were known as the Snowmen of Forochel in the common tongue and it was said they could forecast the weather by the smell of the wind.
7. Morgoth is to Grond as Fingolfin is to what?

Answer: Ringil

Fingolfin charged to the doors of Morgoth's fortress and challenged the evil one to single combat. Morgoth wielded Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, but Fingolfin was armed with the sword Ringil which glittered like ice. Though he wounded Morgoth seven times the Elven king grew weary and Morgoth crushed him with his foot.
"The Orcs made no boast of that duel at the gate: neither do the Elves sing of it, for their sorrow is too deep."
8. Gandalf is to Grey as Radagast is to which colour?

Answer: Brown

Radagast, along with Saruman and Gandalf are the only ones of the order of the Istari named in "The Lord of the Rings". He appears to have had a fondness for birds and beasts.
9. Sauron is to the Barad-dur as Shelob is to where?

Answer: Cirith Ungol

Sauron dwelt in the vast tower he built with the power of the One Ring. When the ring was destroyed the Barad-dur was also destroyed.
The enormous spider Shelob threatened those who dared the pass of Cirith Ungol though she hid herself in the dark recess of Toreth Ungol, and feasted on those who stumbled into her webs until Samwise Gamgee wounded her with the blade Sting. Whether she died of her wounds or starvation is not known.
10. Boromir is to Faramir as Hurin is to who?

Answer: Huor

Boromir was the elder brother to Faramir and died defending the hobbits Merry and Pippin against Orcs. Hurin was the elder brother of Huor. Their greatest deed was guarding the retreat of the elves of Gondolin. Huor was slain, but Hurin ploughed his way through the bodyguard of Gothmog, dispatching seventy Trolls, before his axe melted from the vile Trollish blood.

He was hauled away and held prisoner by Morgoth for many years.
