Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who were Fingolfin's parents?

Answer: Finwe and Indis

Fingolfin's father was Finwe, the King of Noldor. He was married twice. His first wife was Miriel and their son was Curufinwe (Feanor), the greatest of the Noldor. Fingolfin's mother was his second wife, Indis. She was a Vanyar Elf, agnate of Ingwe, the High King of all the Elves. Finwe and Indis, other than Fingolfin, had another son named Finarfin.

2. How many brothers (siblings or half-brothers) did Fingolfin have?

Answer: Two

Fingolfin had two brothers, Feanor and Finarfin. Feanor's mother was Miriel, Finwe's first wife, so he was Fingolfin's half-brother. Finarfin's mother was Indis, Finwe's second wife and Fingolfin's mother as well.

3. How did Fingolfin reach the Middle-earth?

Answer: From Helcaraxe

Fingolfin followed Feanor, his half-brother, to the journey to Middle-earth. But Feanor betrayed him, took the Teleri's ships and passed the Sea. Fingolfin passed Helcaraxe in order to come to Middle-earth.

4. Who of the following was not a child of Fingolfin?

Answer: Finrod

Fingolfin had three children: Turgon, the King of Gondolin, Fingon, who became High King later, and Aredhel, who was also called Ar-Feiniel. Finrod Felagund, the lord of Nargothrond, was Finarfin's son.

5. What was the name of Fingolfin's sword?

Fingolfin's sword was Ringil. It was glittering like ice. At Dagor Bragollach, when Fingolfin battled Morgoth, he hit his enemy with it several times.

6. Who killed Fingolfin?

Fingolfin, at Dagor Bragollach, believing that Morgoth had utterly defeated Elves and Men, attacked Angband and asked Morgoth to battle him. Fingolfin fought heroically and hit his enemies several times but finally Morgoth killed him with Grond.

7. What was the relationship between Fingolfin and Orodreth?

Answer: Orodreth was Fingolfin's nephew

Orodreth was Finarfin's son. He became lord of Nargothrond after Finrod's death and was killed at the battle of Tumhalad. Finarfin, Finwe and Indis's son, was Fingolfin's brother. So, Orodreth was Fingolfin's nephew.

8. At what battle was Fingolfin killed?

Answer: Dagor Bragollach

Fingolfin was killed at Dagor Bragollach, the Fourth Great Battle. There, believing that his army was completely defeated, challenged Morgoth to a battle, but, unfortunately, Morgoth killed him.

9. What event happened when Fingolfin arrived at Middle-earth?

Answer: The first rise of the moon

Fingolfin arrived at Middle-earth at the first rise of the moon. The sun rose for the first time, when he reached the lake Mithrim. The combustion of the ships at Losgar and the contest between Morgoth and Ungoliant had happened previously.

10. Who saved Fingolfin's body from Morgoth and his wargs?

Answer: Thorondor

When Morgoth killed Fingolfin at Dagor Bragollach, he took the body and gave it to his wargs to eat it. Thorondor, the King of the Eagles, came from Crissaegrim, scratched Morgoth's face, took the body and placed it on a mountain. Later, Turgon came and buried it.
