[super spoiler alert!]

Since Aragorn reunited the two kingdoms, shouldn't Arnor also be a correct answer? Numenor is not part of Middle-Earth!

Also, these should be alternative answers:

Lothlorien - Laurelindorenan; Lorien

Minas Tirith - Minas Anor

Rivendell - Imladris

Mirkwood - Eryn Lasgalen

Actually, Numenor is originally defined as"nearest of all mortal lands to the undying lands" making it part of the "mortal lands"/middle earth. Agreed on Arnor, especially as it was actually Aragorn's original kingdom, as he is the direct lineal heir of Elendil by his oldest sons(sorry if that is sexist, but that is how it was), who was the high king of both Arnor/Gondor, residing in Arnor-specifically Annuminas. Sorry, nerd moment.

Yes, Gondor can't be considered "Aragorn's kingdom". It should be Arnor, which is the kingdom of the Northern lineage Aragorn comes from, or The Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor, that is the name of actual realm he ruled.

I agree. The Dunedain rangers patrolled the northern regions of Eriador, located within the lost realm of Arnor. Once he was crowned, he was made king of both Gondor and Arnor, as the heir to Isildur and Elendil, the Faithful Numenorians.

Uh, who would type Laurielindorean or whatever before Lorien? Or Minas Anor? Or the other two. Accepting those type ins is like accepting the scientific name for animals on animal quizzes.

I'd disagree. It's like calling Cabo Verde Cape Verde, Beijing Peking, Ivory Coast Côte d'Ivoire, etc. In most cases, the names CtG526 listed are the actual, given, and original names while those on the quiz are the names in the Common Tounge.

The capital of Gondor used to be osgiliath, while minas ithil and minas anor were defence fortresses that protected osgiliath.

Gondor and Shire are both in Ethiopia... I've visited them before. and saw the Hobbit-sized bones of Lucy at the museum in Addis.

Kal, did you see the Ark of the Covenant while you were there? There were reports that it was stolen from a church in Aksum in 2014. Hmm...when did you say you were there?

Okay, "Mirkwood" is definitely NOT the fortress Sauron used to live in. Mirkwood is the large forest (previously Greenwood) that his previous fortress is in, which is called "Dol Guldur"! And second, he's had many past fortresses, which include Meneltarma in Numenor. But Dol Guldur definitely should be the answer, not Mirkwood.

Rivendell is called Imladris by the elves

Lothlorien is sometimes Lorien

Mt Doom is called Orodruin by the elves

These ore used often enough, I think, to be acceptable answers.

I like that Orthanc was accepted for Isengard, since the clue asks vaguely for Saruman's fortress. Isengard is the entire fortress and/or surrounding lands while Orthanc is the tower itself.

Couldn't figure out "Lonely Mountain".

I tried "Lone Mountain", "Lonesome Mountain", "Solitary Mountain", even "Single Mountain", but "Lonely" didn't come to my mind...

Translation of such terms can be a bitch, if you only have read the translated version of a book or saw the synchronized movies.
