How’s your Tolkien trivia? Do you know the difference between a Balcoth and a Brandybuck? All the seven names for the Noldorin stronghold of Gondolin? How many great rings of power there were in total?
Well, if you’re up for the challenge, we’re powering up our trivia master Elrond for this weekend’s Hall of Fire session. Elrond knows more than 750 questions — some easy, some not so easy! So join us this evening (Saturday September 17) from 6pm EDT 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!
