Lord Of The Rings Trivia Quiz # 23

Orthanc could not be destroyed by the Ents. The Ents 'could not get a grip on the walls.' Noting this, Teebeard decided to destroy the dam holding the river Isen back. This flooded Isengard and the secret tunnels underneath it so that Saruman couldn't escape and Gandalf could deal with him.

It says 'Aragorn /King Elessar', he is the only character with two names on the card.

Narya, Nenya and Vilya were the Three Great Rings. (Isildur’s Bane was the One Ring forged to bind and rule the Great Rings by Sauron.) The Three were forged by the elves, without any input from Sauron. Narya was set with a ruby; Nenya, of mithril, was set with a diamond; Vilya was set with a sapphire. Elrond was the bearer of Vilya, which he used to cause the flood of the river Bruinen when the Ring-Wraiths tried to capture Frodo Baggins there; Galadriel was the bearer of Nenya, which she used to ward Lothlorien so that none could enter without her leave; Gandalf was given Narya by Cirdan the Shipwright when he first came to Middle-Earth, and he used it to strengthen the spirits of Sauron’s foes. It may be that Narya’s fiery nature is the reason Gandalf’s magic partakes so much of fire. In any event, the Three were forged with the purpose of slowing down time and preserving beauty, and were not subject to Sauron’s control; however, the destruction of the One Ring nevertheless caused the Three to lose their power.

Karl Urban appears in several episodes of the television series "Hercules: The Legendary Series" and "Xena: Warrior Princess." However, most movie audiences recognize him as Eomer in "The Lord of the Rings."

He would, in fact, live in Orthanc, taking Saruman's place. Saruman had failed miserably at Helm's Deep, with overwhelming odds going for himself. With the Ents taking care of the rest, he was a goner, and no more use to Sauron.

Imrahil features in the battle sections of 'Return of the King'. He commanded the city of Minas Tirith after Denethor died and while Faramir was ill. Imrahil's sister was the Lady Finduilas, who was the mother of Boromir and Faramir.

In this chapter you get to know Strider, also known as Aragorn.

Gandalf had spent time in Lothlorien after his return from the dead, and Galadriel sent messages by him to all three: Elf, Dwarf and Man. Within this song is also contained Galadriel's counsel: that Aragorn must take the Paths of the Dead.

Celebrimbor, grandson of the smith who forged the Silmarils, was already an accomplished ringmaker when the elves were approached by Annatar (who turned out to be none other than Sauron himself) who helped them to forge the Seven and the Nine. The Seven were given to dwarves, for the purpose of enslaving them, but the dwarves “ill endure the domination of others, and the thoughts of their hearts are hard to fathom, nor can they be turned to shadows. They used their rings only for the getting of wealth; but wrath and an overmastering greed of gold were kindled in their hearts.” (Silmarillion.) The Nine were given to men, who failed to resist Sauron’s will: “those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old. They obtained glory and great wealth... They had, as it seemed, unending life, yet life became unendurable to them. They could walk, if they would, unseen by all eyes in this world beneath the sun, and they could see things in worlds invisible to mortal men.” (Silmarillion.) The Nine turned their bearers into the Ring-Wraiths, the Nazgul, under Sauron’s absolute control. Both the Seven and the Nine conferred both the power of invisibility and infinitely prolonged lifespan on their bearers.
