Good quiz. Thanks for making and sharing it.

Two corrections to the questions for "F" and "T":

F: Finwë's first-born son was Fëanor, not Fingolfin. Fingolfin was the first-born son of Indis (Finwë's second wife) but Finwë's second son.

T: Túrin Turambar was a lord serving in the armies of a couple of Elf-kings but he himself was a Man, not an Elf-lord.

Great quiz, though.

Thanks, again.

Absolutely! Corrections made. Not even sure what I was thinking on "T," must've been an off day when I uploaded. Definitely caught out on "F" though.
