How’s your Tolkien trivia? Do you know the difference between a Balcoth 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’re powering-up our trivia master Elrond for this weekend’s Hall of Fire<\/a> session. Elrond knows more than 700 questions — some easy, some not so easy! So join us this evening (Saturday March 10) from 6pm EST (that’s New York time) 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 Plus, as a quick a heads-up, next weekend we’ll be starting a chapter-by-chapter read-through of Fellowship of the Ring. So haul your copy out and brush-up on A Long Expected Party!<\/p>\n Time zone conversions<\/strong><\/p>\n Not sure what time the chat will be where you are?
