*6.House of the Swallow (Duilin; Arrow head, Fan of Feathers), 7.House of the Harp (Salgant; Silver Harp, Silver and gold Tessels), 8.House of the Mole (Maeglin; double bladed axe, moleskin though it originally had no emblem), 9.House of the Pillar (Penlod; a pillar), 10.House of the Tower of Snow (Penlod; a Tower), 11.House of the Wing (Tuor, a White Wing), 12.House of the Hammer of Wrath (Rog; Silver Anvil, Red, gold and black Iron, Maces)

Continuing with round 4: the Hill of Erech was a hill in Gondor situated near the Paths of the Dead. On it lay the Stone of Erech, which Isildur brought with him as a symbol of his lineage and the throne of Gondor. Local people swore an oath on that Stone, promising to aid him when the time of need comes, an oath they later broke and were cursed never to find rest until the oath is fulfilled. That's why the Hill of Erech had quite a 'haunted' reputation throughout the ages, until Aragorn came.

Golasgil! He was a man of Gondor, Lord of Anfalas, who was fighting in the War of the Ring. My personal favourite info about that character is that in PJ's LOTR, he was played by Royd Tolkien, the great-grandson of our lord and saviour JRR Tolkien <3

Uinendili were a Numenorean guild of men devoted to Uinen, a Maia of Ulmo, the Lady of the Sea. They were a Guild of Venturers, mariners and seamen, formed by a great Numenorean venturer Aldarion. They ventured and explored the entire Numenor and lands beyond, making it even to the Lindon, where they met High King Gil-galad, and to the lands far south.

ROUND 3: I believe it is the Great East Road that leads to Michel Delving. Most common trees across the whole realm are those simliar to real world trees, such as oak, beech and pine trees if I'm not mistaken. The Seven Gates of Gondolin were located in the Orfalch Echor, protecting the entrance to Gondolin from the Hidden way. They were: Gate of Wood, Gate of Stone, Gate of Bronze, Gate of Writhen Iron, Gate of Silver, Gate of Gold and Gate of Steel.

 And I'm answering all of the older questions as well, oh, the horror! The largest bay of Numenor is the Bay of Eldanna. Lograd is another name for Rohan in Rohirric. Forgoil is also another name for the Rohirrim, and that name was given to them by the wild-folk of Dunland, who consider the Rohirrim to be their enemies. Huan was the hound from the First Age, a Wolfhound of Valinor, given by the Vala Orome to Celegorm, son of Feanor. He aided Luthien and Beren in the Quest for the Silmaril.

The Southern Fiefs of Gondor were: Dor-en-Ernil, Lossarnach, Lebennin, Belfalas, Ethir Anduin, Lamedon, Anfalas and the Green Hills, Blackroot Vale, Ringlo Vale. The Golden Trees of Lothlorien were the Mellorn Trees. Thellamie is a name of a country in the poem Errantry by Bilbo Baggins. The Wooden Whale was actually a ship called Hirilonde built by Aldarion of Numenor. People named it the wooden whale because it was obviously huge :D 

Ivorwen was the mother of Gilraen and the grandmother of Aragorn. The Dark Door were situated at the base of the Dwimorberg mountain, leading to the Paths of the Dead. Nisimaldar was a small region in Numenor, known for its fragrant trees brought by the Elves of Tol Eressea from the West.

*The Southern Fiefs were Lossarnach, Lebennin, Belfalas, Ethir Anduin, Lamedon, Anfalas and the Green Hills, Blackroot Vale, and the Ringló Vale. The golden wood got it’s name due to the mellyrn. Thellamie is a country from the poem Errantry (none of my faves tbh), and the Watch was the police/military of the hobbits. The Wooden Whale sound suspiciously like a ship, and Ivorwen was Aragorn’s grandmother. The mountain’s absolutely creative name is Dwimorberg.

*Nísimaldar was an area on Númenor where mellyrn grew. Is it the East Road that goes to Little Delving? My map is not really helping here. Gates of Gondolin were the Gates of Wood, Stone, Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Writhen Iron. Numbers are minë, atta, neldë, canta, lempë, enquë, otso, tolto, nertë, and cainen. If I ever find out what kind of trees are growing in Middle-earth, I will inform you. (and if it’s oaks I’ll bang my head on my desk until it hurts.)

The newest questions:

What Road leads to Michel Delving in the Shire?

What trees were the most common throughout Middle-Earth?

What were the Seven Gates of Gondolin and what are the names of each gate ?  Answered correctly by: thevalesofanduin
