There was a slight error in the Hobbit 4 quiz that we somehow missed, but thanks to the keen and vigilant eyes of
@Fuin Elda it was spotted and corrected. Many thanks to
Fuin for noticing the error and letting us know so we can fix it.

Hear yea, hear yea!
For everyone who has been eagerly waiting for a new Hall of Knowledge quiz, your wishes have been answered!
The amazing
@tonSil helped with the creation of the next instalment of
The Silmarilion related questions. So without further ado here's the link to the
newest quiz - The Valaquenta.
@Narv will add the link to the Knowledge Halls section shortly.
Oh, and as always if you notice a glitch or an issue let us know and we'll look into it.

Could a kind admin please check how far I got in the Knowledge Halls? I think I finished all the quizzes for The Hobbit but I'm even less sure about the Ainulindalë one. It's been a while.

No problem; at the rate I'm writing stupid-long lore posts that are only tangentially related to the original topics of their parent threads, I won't have time for the quizzes for a while anyway.

I don't want to be ~that gal~ yet again, because I am really grateful for all the work people have put into getting the Knowledge Halls up and running again (seriously, I did not expect this to be part of the NuPlaza), but I have a quibble with one of the questions in the Ainulindalë quiz.
(Question 5 asks what the Music of the Ainur created; two of the options are The universe and Arda, the world that is. The line in the Ainulindalë itself is "Eä, the World that Is," which is an awkward phrasing because Eä is more commonly used to refer to the universe, and Arda to the world (although this distinction is kinda blurry in the flat world cosmology of the 1977 Silmarillion). Anyway, I feel those two answers are ambiguous, that a case could be made for either being correct since neither uses the same wording as the text, though if y'all think I'm just nitpicking because I don't want to break a streak, you wouldn't necessarily be wrong. )

I have the vaguest feeling this has come up before,
@Eldy Dunami, and I’m very willing to concede the point. Thank you for mentioning it - what are lorists for if not pointing out these important details!?
@Winddancer, would you mind rewarding Eldy appropriately for noting this and changing the word as per her suggestion to that which is in the actual text? (This is as vague & accurate as I can get it without resorting to whiteout, which is a nightmare for me to type in on mobile… Discord me if you need clarity
)

I did!! 3 through 10 in the first hall so far. I had copies of the form sent to myself, should I forward them to Narv? Or what's the best way to get around the glitch?

Dangit, he set up forwarding, but didnt get them. @Narv do you have a work around for that?
Moriel if you give me your total I can at least get you the points while we try and figure this out.

I did the Hobbit parts 1-4, got sent copies of 3 and 4 but not the first two. With my dusty copy at hand I managed to answer all correctly.
