War of the wrath, when Mogroth was defeated?

The War of Wrath. Excellent.

"After Eärendil came to Valinor to beg for the aid of the Valar, they sent a mighty force into Middle-earth to do battle with Morgoth. Led by Eönwë, the herald of Manwë, the forces of the Valar, with the peoples of the Vanyar and the Noldor that had remained in Aman, sailed eastward in the ships of the Teleri.

In the great battle that followed, Morgoth's armies were almost completely destroyed, and only a few of his Balrogs, Dragons and Orcs survived. Morgoth himself was taken as prisoner and shut beyond the confines of the World, and the Silmarils were recovered from his Iron Crown. In the tumult of the war, Beleriand and the lands to the north were destroyed and sunk beneath the sea, and the shape of Middle-earth was changed."

Now I'll have to think of another question to ask.....

[war_bloodline]

Yep, the time when Thangorodrim and Gondolin and all the lands that were under rule at that time were put under water.

1. I can't remember.

2. After Aragorn was crowned king of the Reunited Kingdoms, around July 19th (I may be off all the way).

Aragon was 120. What year, dont have a clue. He was aroung 60ish I think during LotR, so around 60 Fouth Age.

End of the 3rd age was when the ring bearers (elrond, galadrial, gandalf, frodo)left . Was is 3102? I'm pretty sure it was an '02 or '03, not sure which century though.

[Iz Man]

Aragorn was 210 years old when he died in the year 120 of the Fourth Age.

The Thrid Age ended with the passing of the ringbearers. I threw that one in there thinking some would answer with the downfall of Barad-Dur & Sauron.

The exact date was 29-September 3021.

Arwen gave up her immortality to wed a mortal, Aragorn.
She was only the second Elf known to have done this.
Who was the other?

[Koesen]

Luthien?

[Iz Man]

Luthien?

Excellent !

Awesome story, the tale of Beren & Luthien. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in LOTR.
A brief synopsis:

Lúthien Tinúviel
The Nightingale of Doriath

The daughter of King Thingol of Doriath and Melian the Maia, and said to be the fairest Elf to have ever lived. She was discovered by Beren as he wandered the woods of her father's kingdom, and they grew to love one another. When Lúthien took Beren before her father, he was apalled that his royal daughter should wish to wed a mortal, and so set Beren what he thought was an unachievable task, to recover a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth himself. So Beren left Doriath in pursuit of his hopeless quest.

After a time, a darkness fell on Lúthien's heart, and she learned from her mother Melian what this meant; Beren had been captured by Sauron, and was held in the dungeons of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. Though Thingol sought to stop her, Lúthien set out from Doriath to rescue Beren, if she could. Passing through many adventures, she gained the help of Huan the Hound, and together they came to Sauron's Isle. Through Lúthien's magic and Huan's strength they defeated Sauron and rescued Beren. Eventually Beren set out for Angband once again, and Lúthien accompanied him.

Through Lúthien's powers, they passed the gates of Angband, and the great wolf Carcharoth that guarded them. Coming before the Dark Throne itself, she wove a spell that put Morgoth and his court into a deep sleep, and Beren cut a Silmaril from the Iron Crown. Returning to the gates, they found that Carcharoth barred their escape. Beren held up the hallowed Jewel to protect them, but the monstrous wolf bit off his hand, and with it consumed the Silmaril. But the Silmarils were blessed by Varda herself, so that any unclean flesh that touched them would be withered and burnt. The wolf's innards were consumed with that burning, and it ran howling into the south.

Lúthien healed Beren, and they came at last back to her father's halls at Menegroth. There they heard tidings that the maddened wolf had entered Thingol's realm, and Beren set out with the King to the Hunting of the Wolf. After nightfall they returned; the wolf was slain and the Silmaril recovered, but Beren was wounded mortally. So he passed away, and soon after Lúthien too wasted of grief.

Their spirits were gathered in the Halls of Mandos in the Uttermost West of the World, and there Lúthien sang a song of such extraordinary power and beauty that it moved even the implacable heart of Mandos himself. So she was granted a unique fate, to become mortal and return to Middle-earth with Beren, where they dwelt for a time in happiness on the green island of Tol Galen in the River Adurant.

Mighty was the House of ________ in its fall

Numenor?

[Koesen]

Nope. If I'm not mistaken, there's no such thing as a house of Numenor, is there? It's a place, not a family, I think. Anyway, it's not Numenor, but not a bad guess

Feanor? It sound like something Elrond said, but he wasn alive to see Feanor.

What other houses fell...Is it in the First Age or the Third Age?
