How’s your Tolkien trivia? Do you know the difference between a Balchoth and a Brandybuck? All the seven names of Gondolin? How many great rings of power there were in total?
Well, if you’re up for the challenge, we’ve powered up our trivia master Elrond for this weekend’s Hall of Fire session. Elrond knows about 500 questions — some easy, some not so easy! So join us this evening (Saturday May 7) from 6pm EST in #thehalloffire on our IRC server (irc.theonering.net) where we’ll be indulging in a fun battle of wits where that will test your Tolkien geekery to the limit!
