Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many men did Beregond kill in order to save Faramir from Denethor?

Answer: 3

The porter tried wouldn't let Beregond enter and threatened him with the sword. He was forced to slay him. Inside, 4 of Denethors men tried to stop the Guard but two fell through his sword before Gandalf and Pippin arrived.

2. Who discovers that �owyn still lives, yet may be mortally wounded?

Answer: Imrahil

Imrahil bowed over to look at �owyn's face. His vambrace showed a thin layer of mist when he held it next to her lips, indicating she was still breathing.

3. Which of these persons was not cured in the Houses of Healing?

Answer: Frodo

Faramir had been hit by an arrow from the Nazg�l. Merry had stabbed the Lord of the Nazg�l with his sword and �owyn drove her sword below his crown. All three were cursed by the shadow but cured by Aragorn when he used athelas. Frodo's wound was never treated in the Houses of Healing.

4. By whom is the Ring destroyed eventually?

Answer: Gollum

Frodo claims the Ring for himself when he stood on top of Mount Doom. But Gollum, who had tricked Sam, battled with Frodo and bit off his finger, the one on which he wore the ring, and danced in joy. He then fell into the chasm and disappeared with Precioussss forever.

5. Under what name is Saruman known by the Hobbits in the Shire?

Answer: Sharkey

Saruman was slowly destroying the Shire, but the four Hobbits returned, rallying the Shire Hobbits and drove Sarumans 'ruffians' out. Saruman was killed by Gr�ma Wormtongue, who could no longer bare the humiliation.

6. Of how many rings of Walls did Minas Tirith have?

Answer: 7

Seven Walls protect the White Tower of Ecthelion.

7. How many Riders did Th�oden intend to send to Gondor, before the betrayal of Saruman?

Answer: 10000

He intended to send 10000 to the aid of Gondor. But not few had been killed in the battles with Saruman, yet Th�oden was able to set out with at least 6000 Riders, as he promised Hirgon, messenger of Denethor.

8. Which of the following items was not carried by the Mouth of Sauron to show to the Captains of the West?

Answer: Sting

Sam had taken Sting and the Phial of Galadriel when he left Frodo, leaving his own Sword behind. He had no time to take the Coat or the Elvencloak with him.

9. What was the name of the Siege Engine, that broke the Gate of Minas Tirith?

Answer: Grond

The Captain of Nazg�l shattered the Gate using Grond and his vile sorcery. It was named for the Mace wielded by Morgoth in the First Age which was used, among other things, to crush Fingolfin.

10. Who carried the Elvenring, Narya the Great, the Ring of Fire, during the War of the Ring?

Answer: Gandalf

The Ring first belonged to C�rdan, but he gave it to Gandalf, when he arrived on Middle-Earth, sensing the true power of Gandalf. This move possibly shaped the whole future of Middle-Earth. Celeborn, as mighty as he was, never wore one of the great Rings. Galadriel wore Nenya, the Ring of Adamant and the last ring, Vilya, the Ring of Sapphire, had been passed to Elrond by Gil-galad when Elrond founded Imladris (Rivendell).

Some people argue that Narya aswell had been borne by Gil-galad and passed to C�rdan shortly before or just after the overthrowing of Sauron but it is almost certain that C�rdan was the first recipient of Narya.
