The Impossible Lord Of The Rings Quiz!

Gandalf is a part of the Istari. The Istari, also known as the Wizards, were a group of powerful beings sent to Middle-earth by the Valar to aid in the fight against Sauron. Gandalf, along with Saruman, Radagast, and two other unnamed wizards, were tasked with guiding and assisting the Free Peoples of Middle-earth in their struggle against the forces of darkness. Gandalf, in particular, played a crucial role in the events of The Lord of the Rings, using his wisdom, magic, and leadership skills to help the Fellowship in their quest to destroy the One Ring.

Morgoth is the correct answer because he was the dark lord of the 1st age in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth mythology. Morgoth, also known as Melkor, was the most powerful and evil Valar who rebelled against the other Valar and sought to dominate Middle-earth. He was responsible for corrupting and creating many of the creatures and evils that plagued the world during the 1st age, including orcs and dragons. Sauron, although a powerful servant of Morgoth, was not the dark lord of the 1st age himself. Arathorn and Gorbag are not significant characters in relation to the dark lord of the 1st age.

The Fellowship of the Ring was formed in Rivendell and tasked with destroying the One Ring. Its members were Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir. Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, hosted the council where the Fellowship was formed but did not join the quest himself. He remained in Rivendell, offering guidance and support from afar.

Sauron is the correct answer because he is the necromancer mentioned in The Hobbit. In the book, Sauron takes on the disguise of the Necromancer and resides in Dol Guldur, where he gathers his forces and plans to regain his power. This is revealed later in The Lord of the Rings series, connecting the events of The Hobbit to the larger story. Gandalf, Radagast, and Morgon are other characters in the book but are not the necromancer.

Durin's Bane is the correct answer because it refers to the last remaining balrog in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. This balrog was known by this name because it was encountered by the dwarves of Khazad-dûm, who believed it to be a manifestation of evil that was destined to bring ruin to their kingdom. The name "Durin's Bane" emphasizes the significance of this balrog as a formidable and dangerous enemy.

Gothmog is the lord of the balrogs in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. He is a powerful and fearsome figure, serving as the chief lieutenant of Morgoth, the main antagonist in Tolkien's works. Gothmog is described as a Balrog of Morgoth, a demonic creature of fire and shadow. He plays a significant role in the battles of the First Age, particularly during the Fall of Gondolin. Gothmog's status as the lord of the balrogs is established through Tolkien's writings and is widely accepted by fans and scholars.

Lungorthin was the high captain of Angband.

The correct answer is the war of wrath. In this battle, the hosts of Valinor, led by the Valar and the Elves, overthrew Morgoth, the Dark Lord. The war of wrath marked the end of the First Age of Middle-earth and resulted in the downfall of Morgoth's fortress, Angband. The battle was a significant event in the history of Middle-earth as it brought about the defeat of the greatest evil power and allowed for the restoration and healing of the land.

Faramir is the captain of Gondor’s forces during the War of the Ring. Boromir was a captain earlier but died before the war’s climax. Aragorn becomes King of Gondor but is not officially the captain of the army before that. Denethor is the Steward, a political leader, not a military captain.
