Middle Earth..........

    I am declaring the Middle Earth trivia thread open for business.

    The Rules
    1. No more than three questions per posting. That way when you quote someone's questions in your reply, it won't take up half the page.
    2. Questions must be based on info found in the three main books. No digging through the Silmarilion or Book of Lost Tales, looking for stumpers. Info found in the Appendixes at the end of Return of the King is fair game.
    3. No going back and editing your previous answer if you suddenly realize you were wrong. Your shame and disgrace shall be left public for all to see.

    Now then, let's begin:
    1. Three Rings for Elven Kings under the sky... What are the names of those three rings?
    2. Who was Sauron's master in the First Age of Middle Earth?
    3. Who found the ring after it was lost in the Anduin?
