Our Tolkien series of quizzes continues this week with The Two Towers Quiz, which sees the Fellowship split up or, as Tolkien would say, sundered, not to mention riven. Frodo and Sam go off in one direction, while Merry and Pippin head off in another, though not voluntarily. The remaining members of the Company are left wondering which pair to go after. Meanwhile, Orcs — including the fearsome Uruk-hai — are butting in everywhere, Saruman is plotting new wickedness, and Nazgûl keep flitting about on their winged steeds and making your blood run cold. We hope you enjoy it. By the way, if you need to catch up on our quizzes about The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, not to mention the one on Tolkien himself, those are all still up and available. We hope you try The Two Towers Quiz, and return soon for the final entry in our Tolkien series, covering The Return of the King, which will appear in a few weeks’ time.

The Fellowship of the Ring Trivia Quiz
With this new quiz we continue the theme of our The Hobbit and Tolkien quizzes while embarking on a new series of quizzes covering the three volumes of J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. In the present quiz, we cover the first third of the story, in which we follow Frodo and his companions from their safe homes in The Shire through many dangers to the Elven haven of Rivendell, and from there through many further dangers to the other Elven haven of Lothlórien. One learns two main life lessons. First, when traveling, always stay at an Elf facility if available. Second, and even more important, do not answer the door if it’s Gandalf. Avoid his company altogether. Such are the benefits of literature. We hope you try our The Fellowship of the Ring Quiz, and return for the two quizzes yet to come in our The Lord of the Rings series.

The Tolkien Trivia Quiz
This new quiz continues our current series on Tolkien by looking at the author himself, the man who invented Middle Earth, its history, and perhaps above all its languages. Tolkien was a respected scholar and teacher of languages who found both professional interest and literary inspiration in stirring medieval narratives like Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Eventually that inspiration merged with his love of the English countryside to produce the hobbits of the Shire, and the whole wide landscape of Middle Earth and its peoples.
This quiz is published on May 13, 2019, in the week scheduled for the release of the biopic Tolkien. It is based on the author’s childhood and early career, and that is the part of his life on which we focus as well. We haven’t seen the movie yet, but we are happy to assume without evidence that our quiz paints a picture of the man that is paradoxically far more vivid and visceral than anything mere celluloid could hope to achieve. Try the Tolkien quiz right now!
