4. The Dispossessed was also known as the House of Finwe.

Answer: False

The Dispossessed was also known as the House of Feanor, because of the flight of the Noldor out of Valinor.

Answer: Dor Firn-i-Guinar

6. The Adunic form of this person's name was Ar-Pharazon, but what was his name in Quenya?

Answer: Tar-Calion

Tar-Calion was known as "The Golden", and was the last King of Numenor, and caused Numenor to disappear and Valinor to be placed in the realm of hidden things.
7. Who is the father of Voronwe?

Answer: Aranwe

Aranwe was the father of Voronwe, who returned from the seas on a voyage to find Aman, but was shown mercy by Ulmo and carried back to the shores of Beleriand just outside of Vinyamar.
8. Who is the youngest son of Finarfin?

Answer: Aegnor

Finrod was the eldest, Orodreth is second, Angrod is third, and Aegnor is fourth. (This structure changes at various stages - in some Orodreth is the son of Angrod, not his brother.) Also, Galadriel was Finarfin's only daughter and was the youngest of his children.
9. Aragorn is related to Elrond.

Answer: True

Going back through the Second and Third Ages, through all the Kings of Arnor, Numenor, and Andunie, Aragorn is in the direct line of Elros, who just happens to be Elrond's brother!
10. Finarfin's wife, Earwen, was the daughter of which High King?

Answer: Olwe

Earwen was of Alqualonde, which was the haven of the Teleri built by her father Olwe.
11. Who was the second son of Galdor?

Huor was the father of the legendary man, and father of Earendil, Tuor.
12. Aragorn is directly related to Turgon, Fingolfin, Finwe, Earendil, Idril, Dior, Luthien, Elwe, Barahir, Beor, Huor, Tuor, and Marach.

Answer: True

Yes, believe it or not he is. The house of Finwe eventually goes down to Elros, which goes to Aragorn, and the same with the houses of Men that came into Beleriand. It seems so amazing that the 39th heir of Isildur is related to so many of Arda's great Elves, Men, and even half Men/half Elves!
13. What is the final line in the song of the fight of Sauron and Finrod Felagund?

Answer: And Finrod fell before the throne

"...as told in the Lay of Leithian, Sauron had mastery over Felagund," and the last two lines went like this:

"Thunder rumbles, the fires burn--
And Finrod fell before the throne."
14. How many men of Fingon's host came back to Hithlum after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad?

Answer: 0

The Nirnaeth Arnoediad was indeed a tragedy for the Eldar and the Edain, and not one man from Fingon's magnificent host came ever back to their homes in Hithlum.
15. What is another name, beginning with "M", of Turin Turambar?

Answer: Mormegil

Mormegil, the Black Sword, Turambar, are all names adopted by Turin while he journeyed in Beleriand.
16. What was the Second Battle of Beleriand?

Answer: Dagor-nuin-Giliath

The Dagor-nuin-Giliath was the "Battle under Stars", which was won by the host of Feanor near the Firth of Drengist.
17. While Tar-Ancalimon was king of Numenor, the Numenoreans came back together as one party.

Answer: False

Tar-Ancalimon was the fourteenth King of Numenor, and although he tried as hard as he could to keep the Numenoreans in one powerful party, he was unsuccessful, as the Numenoreans split up into two opposed parties.
18. Who was known as "the Unhappy"?

Answer: Gorlim

Gorlim "the Unhappy" was one of the twelve remaining men that were in the service of Barahir after the Dagor Bragollach.

Answer: Amrod and Amras

"By Felagund's advice they moved over the River Gelion, which was the land of Amrod and Amras," the youngest of the seven sons of Feanor.
20. The hardest of all... what is the name of the great mere in the midst of Nevrast?

Answer: Linaewen

Of this mere little is said, except for these few lines when Tuor is coming to the outskirts of Vinyamar, "This mere had no certain shores, being encircled my marshes. It was named Linaewen because of the multitude of birds that dwelt there, where there were tall reeds and shallow pools for the birds to make their dwellings in."
