Dragon-spell, notorious for sapping the will of heroes and heroines such as Nienor, and bewitching the victim to the will of the dragon.
Which of the Valar arrived in Arda the first, which was the last to arrive, and why was the arrival of the latter so important?

I think this is wrong, please correct me as I've been looking, but I thought Melkor was there first,
Tulkas was the last to arrive, and Melkor fled from him and ' forsook Arda and there was peace for a long time '

Calenardhon?
Sort of an odd but goofy one-
Which Dwarf has a name that sounds like a slang-term for a body part?

Hmmm...I want to guess...Gróin?
If it's right, then, here's my next question:
Who were the 'Two Watchers'?
Oh, yes, and a rule we never mentioned but I thought goes without saying, just to be safe:
There is to be NO looking up of information for the answers.

Yup!
I agree. It demeans the purpose of the game, ne?
The Two Watchers.... hrm- the guardians of the Tower of Cirith Ungol. They were made of stone and had the face of vultures? They would let out a screech as an alarm when someone enetered or tried to exit who they denied.
Name all of the Palantiri described in Tolkien's writings and what happened to them ultimately.

Well, I hope by name you're not saying that they had like actual given names, but there were the Stones of: Amon Sul, Elostirion, Annuminas, Orthanc, Minas Anor, and Minas Ithil, with the Master-stone in Middle-earth being at Osgiliath, which could monitor all the others. The Stone of Amon Sul (chief Stone of the North) was taken to Fornost when Angmar sacked Weathertop, and then lost in a storm when Arvedui was in the ice-bay of Forochel. The Stone of the Tower Hills (only able to look across Belegaer to the West) was called the Elendil Stone, and upon the fall of the North-kingdom, it was guarded by Cirdan and the Elves of Lindon, and placed upon the ship bearing the Ringbearers across the Sea. The Stone of Annuminas was taken to the North by Arvedui upon the Witch-King's sack of the City, but lost in the storm along with the Stone of Amon Sul. The Stone of Minas Anor stayed in the keeping of the Stewards of Gondor until the War of the Ring, at which time Denethor in his madness burned himself alive with it; his hands withering in flame forever made the stone unusable. The Ithil-Stone was taken by Sauron when Ithil became Morgul, and it was his tool to snare both Saruman and Denethor, though the latter proved the stronger. It is not canonly declared what occured to the Ithil-Stone, but in the fall of Barad-dur, it is believed that it perished in the intense heat, which was essentially the immaterial power of a Maia transformed into corporeal energy, with the destruction of the Ring. As for the Orthanc-Stone, it resided in Orthanc when Saruman took Isenhard for his own, and with the Stone he was caught by Sauron. After the Fall of Isengard, Aragorn took the Stone by bloodright, and it resided with him in Minas Tirith (the only palantir on CoG, lmao). Also mentioned was The Master-Stone of the Eldar, which resided in the Tower of Avallone upon the isle of Tol Eressea, but beyond these eight, none are mentioned with definitiveness in the primary text.
Whew!
OK, now I'm pissed off atcha Orre (jk), so try this one (no looking stuff up):
How did the Elves of Lorien know Legolas was one of their kindred when the Fellowship arrived in Lothlorien in TA 3019?

Without looking this up, honestly, was it because when they stopped by Nimrodel, and Legolas sang the song of Nimrodel, the Galadhrim heard him?

Nice work, Raithen! You're spot-on!
Mark, did you mean Rumil? He, at least was the one who created the Tengwar alphabet - I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'writing in Middle-earth.'
