Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Finally, the Silmarils are in your possession and you are free of the Valar who chained and humiliated you. You rest upon your dark throne from where you will seek the dominion of all Middle-earth. From your high tower, you gaze upon the lands that have become infested with these weak creatures, the Eldar, as they name themselves. At your command, your orcs issue south to break their wills. Though your armies are eventually defeated, they did manage to bring back a prize: the head of Lenwe's son, the leader of the Nandorin. What was his name?
2. You see a great flame and hear the clamoring and shouting of an army. You search west, then a bit south, and find the source. Teleri ships are ablaze at Losgar! Further east a host of the Noldor is making camp near the Lake of Mithrim! Your armies descend upon them swiftly, and the second conflict ensues. What do the Elves you hold captive in your mines call this battle?
3. You stare in wonder at the furthest east, as Isil traverses the rim of the world, fearing what this omen forebodes. Then a great, burning light blazes forth. You hear the shrill cries of your panicking servants. The very earth is rebelling against you! It springs forth life - you did not command this! You call back your forces and descend to the deepest pits of Angband. From what are you hiding?
4. Your gaze turns east, for watchful spies have brought you tidings of utmost importance. At the sun's first rising, a new race has woken, and some among them speak of journeying westward. You conceal yourself under shadow and depart Angband; for you recognize these creatures as the Atani, Men. Some of the Second-born will know you as lord. To what region do you travel?
5. Your gaze turns now closer to home: to your very doors. For one is there, sounding his horn in challenge. His fists upon your iron doors echo through the depths of Angband, and you are afraid. The Elven-king below appears fierce as Orome. Your servants sense your fear! You hesitate, but you must descend and face Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor. You hurl your hammer Grond expertly, but he evades, and his sword Ringil slashes. How many times in total are you wounded?
6. It seems now that a cloak is being drawn over your eyes. You can't fight it. Her song fills your hall wraps itself around you. You must fight this slumber that is overcoming you. You seem to awake, but everything is black. You remember this place from ages past: the Outer Void, where once you sought the Imperishable Flame. From some distant, unknown source, you hear a melody, sweetly sung. This is not the songs of the Ainur. Who is singing this enchanting tune?
7. It is now time to launch your next offensive against the cursed Eldar and their Atani allies, and you have a secret weapon: the treachery of men. If not for this house of men, your designs would come to naught. Though the other Easterlings fled in terror or stayed true to their Elf-lords, this one house, turning on and attacking the rear of Feanor's sons in the midst of the battle, is all you needed. What do these traitors call themselves?
8. Your gaze turns to the prisoner bound to a seat near your throne. Your delight in the anguish of your prisoner Hurin is nearly fulfilled. You feign pity and release him. But your spies flock round about him and a spell chains his thoughts and actions to you. You gaze upon him from your high tower, wandering to and fro about Beleriand. Finally he comes to a stop before the sheer cliffs at the feet of the Echoriath. He begins to yell into the empty sky. For whom does he yell?
9. Your gaze turns toward a prisoner, being dragged to your feet. He and his party were captured while mining. His words are proudly defiant and he bears the stature of elven nobility; but you sense the jealousy and envy hidden deep within his heart. You finally break his will and he reveals all to you. Including the very location of Gondolin, and secret ways into its hidden vale. Who is this elf?
10. Your gaze falters and your power is diminished! You cannot see beyond the gleaming hosts of the Valar! They have finally come, with the Vanyar. They sweep aside your legions of orcs like dried grass in the flame. Your mighty balrogs are all slain or fled. You unleash your last defense: the Uroloki. But even Ancalagon the Black falls, his body broken upon the Thangorodrim. You flee to the depths of Angband, but there is no escaping judgement. The Valar bind you with the chain you once wore and thrust you through the Doors of Night beyond the Walls of the World, into the Timeless Void. You will return, to have your vengeance. Who is that shining white light guarding the Walls to prevent this?
