Realms of the Elf-lords Contest #3:
Lord of the Rings TCG Trivia
These questions can be answered by examining the cards released in The
Fellowship of the Ring premiere set, Mines of Moria, and league cards. Do
not include any Realms of the Elf-lords cards in determining your
answers!
The Answers
This was a curious contest. By all accounts this was the easiest
of the contests, as all the answers were in the cards for anyone to find,
all you needed to do was a little research. However, the answers seemed
to elude most people (or they just didn't want to do the research) since
this contest had the lowest number of entrants so far at 1,750. If you thought
this contest was difficult, wait until you see contest #5!
There were many correct answers, even though we made a mistake. It seems
that we didn't take into account the game text of site 6 Elf ally Uruviel,
who at your site 6 can copy the game text of the site. Since we didn't stipulate
whether you were using your site 6 or an opponents', we decided to throw
out that question. Throwing out question eight added 15 more correct entries
into pool of possible winners. Our apologies for the oversight.
