Riddles of the loremasterWhat is it
This is a fan-made collection of quizzes devoted to the imaginative world of J.R.R. Tolkien — from the starlit waters of Cuiviénen to the far shores beyond the Sundering Seas.
All quiz content is drawn exclusively from his books: The Silmarillion, The Children of Húrin, The Fall of Gondolin, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings — The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.
Nothing from the screen
Nothing here is taken from Peter Jackson’s films, nor from any other film or television series adapting Tolkien’s work. If a detail exists only on screen, it will not be asked here, and it will not be a correct answer.
Feedback is welcome
If you have suggestions or recommendations, or you believe one of the answers is wrong, I would be glad to hear from you. Corrections are especially welcome — the lore runs deep, and mistakes are easily made.

This project is made by and for enthusiasts. It is not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, the Tolkien Estate or its publishers. If anyone representing the Estate — or any other rights holder — considers that this site misuses their work, please get in touch and I will remove the content in question.
