Mûmak; riding a fell beast would most likely get me seriously dizzy (and probably worse) in nothing flat.

Would you rather like to be taught how to make clothing by the Elves or jewelry by the Dwarves?

Would you rather learn to speak Quenya or Dwarvish?

Going on the vague hunch that Dwarvish likely to have a far larger vocabulary of uncouth utterances, currently Dwarvish (and I'll probably limit it to the uu scope for odd and even reasons ... ) Image

Would you rather be taught embroidery by Vairë or calligraphy by Fëanor?

Embroidery ... Image I already do calligraphy, but I would love to study with a master like Fëanor anyway.

Would you rather learn wrestling from Tulkas, or jewellery making from Celebrimbor?

Is learning jewelery making from Tulkas also an option? Just asking ...

Would you rather listen to Fëanor expound on making jewels, or Sauron expound on making rings?

Does the word 'Evil' in my name give you a clue? Making rings with Sauron natch.

Húrin, I would hate to have to remove somebody's hand to rescue them. Not sure I could do it.

Would you rather interview Morgoth, or Sauron (off the record, of course)?

Sauron; Morgoth will most likely be unable to restrain his megalomania, while Sauron will most likely be able to supply juicy inside information totally puncturing Morgoth's megalomania. His own megalomania is an entirely different matter.

Hmmm ... learning cooking in Rivendell sounds interesting, but I suspect Shire cooking would be more to my taste, so I'm off to the Shire.

Would you rather live in Rohan, or Gondor?

Tough choice ..... I think I'll go overnight picnicking/hiking with the Hobbits because I suspect I shall want a second breakfast.

Gurthang because of Turin.

Would you rather visit the Prancing Pony or the Green Dragon (both post Sauron's fall)?

Personally, the Green Dragon. I just prefer the name, and it has a good drinking song

Also, welcome back PSK, it seems it's been a long time since I saw you here!

Would you rather read from Elrond's library, or Bilbo's?

PSK! Nice to see you again.

Elrond's ... I would love to see some of the manuscripts dating back to the First Age, and perhaps even from Valinor.

Would you rather live in Gondolin, or Menegroth?

Made by Elves. Even though the hobbits' clothes' size would be better for little old me, I think the elves wear nicer finery.

Would you rather speak fluent Sindarin or fluent Quenya?

Being a Finwion fanatic, I would have to go with Quenya, and Image to Thingol and his pronouncements.

Summer in the Shire. Imladris is at a fairly high altitude!

Probably a Ranger of Arnor. I prefer the look of the terrain there.

Would you rather be able to wield two Elven daggers, or one Men's sword?

Since I would like both, I'm going to take one Elven dagger and a sword.

Well, because it's me, and I'd feel like I'm betraying my avatar otherwise, so: Lembas.

Would you rather receive a gift from Galadriel, or from Elrond?

ooh, a tough one! I think I'll go with Elrond as he just might give me one of his lovely manuscripts.

Would you rather be fostered (in the old-fashioned sense) by Maglor and Maedhros, or Thingol and Melian?

Probably Thingol and Melian. I'll think of a reason later...

Would you rather spend time hunting with Aragorn, or with Legolas?

Aragorn, although hunting with Legolas would be nice as well.

Would you rather learn sword-fighting from Aragorn, or Glorfindel?

Glorfindel. I feel Aragorn would be too kind about anything I was bad at.

Would you rather travel through the Dead Marshes, or through the Dead Men of Dunharrow's Caverns?

An Oliphaunt. Imagine the views you could get from the back of one of them!

Would you rather be stuck on the back of an Orc, or a Goblin?

Legolas, because... well. Do I need a reason? Alongside learning archery, I can finally sell all this lembas I've been stockpiling! Image

Would you rather be Beren, or Lúthien?

I think Númenor, because it took centuries for things to turn sour there, while Beleriand after Morgoth's escape from Valinor was a dubious neighborhood from the word go.

Would you rather go on scouting / raiding missions with Mablung Heavy-hand and Beleg Strongbow or with Elladan and Elrohir?

Difficult choice as both appeal to me. I think I will choose the twins though as I would like to know more about them, and their fight against Sauron's minions in Middle-earth.
