Here is my final set of questions this season on The Three Towers of Trivia...I may post from the backlog over our break, but fresh new questions won't be coming out of the oven for four weeks. Anyhoo, this is one of the tougher sets I've written, so have your way with it.
There are TWELVE questions in this set, and for good reason...every correct answer in this set is a twelve letter word. Keep that in mind as you answer.
GOOD LUCK!
