You got most of them! Here are the ones you missed:

> 1. What ravine was barred by seven gates?
> Don't remember

Orfalch Echor.

> 2. What Third Age city had seven gates?
> Gondolin - it also had seven names

Minas Tirith.

> 4. Give another name for the Seven Stars.
> The Sickle (of the Valar?)

Valacirca.

I guess you've headed home by now; have a good one!

Oh, Third Age city, stupid! Next time I'll read the whole question.

Valacirca would be the Elvish translation of "Sickle of the Valar" - what we would call the Big Dipper.
