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?<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
