Palantir of Fortune!

[Folwren]

Okay. Is it, "Morwen, Morwen, when shall I see you again?"

Problem: I honestly don't know who said it or when. Obviously it was said to Morwen...but her identity escapes me at present, hence the identity also of the distressed person who appears to be leaving her. I think this is a shockingly clear sign that I need to re-read at least the Silm, if not other Historical books of ME. :eek:

[Galadriel55]

You got the quote right. It's from COH. Think: who is disstressed, because s/he is parting with Morwen for quite a while? There aren't that many people.

[Folwren]

I told you. I don't even remember who Morwen is, unless she is Turin's mother, in which case it may be his father that is speaking to her.

[Folwren]

lol. That came out a little sharp. Is it Hurin? :)

[Galadriel55]

No, not Hurin, but you're on the right track. ;) Keep trying.

Hint: Morwen is indeed Turin's mother. The person who she's parting with will not see her ever again (but they don't know that, they think they'll meet some day)

[Folwren]

Okay...Turin himself, then, maybe?

[Galadriel55]

Yes!

Now Turin was made ready for the journey, and he bade farewell to his mother, and departed in secret with his two companions. But when they bade Turin turn and look back upon the house of his father, then the anguish of parting smote him like a sword, and he cried, "Morwen, Morwen, when shall I see you again?" But Morwen standing on her threshold heard the echo of that cry in the wooded hills, and she clutched the post of the door so that her fingers were torn. This was the first of the sorrows of Turin.

~COH, The Departure of Turin
One of my favourite passages from COH. :D

[Folwren]

I haven't read all of COH. I really should, you know.

I'll get something up maybe later today.

Foley?

[Folwren]

Do you know what the problem is? Neither at home nor at work do I have copies of Tolkien books. My copies are at my parents' house, but whenever I'm there, I'm not on the computer much.

That being said, I'll put forth an effort and put one up toda.

[Folwren]

Here we are at last. I am sorry about the delay - I have no excuse. But here it is:

Haha! Yes. Actually, I'm not on Easter Holidays yet...I am in my sister's room, though. But good news - I stole a copy from this house and took to my house, so now I have a copy there, too!

Anyhow, I took advantage of the near proximity of a book and have gotten the next puzzle up.

[Galadriel55]

"Others of my own kin have passed the Mountains, and they are wandering not far away."

Is that it?

Almost. "Passed" is not correct. It doesn't have an "a", and it has an extra letter.

CLUE: It is from The Sil.

If no one gets it in the next couple of days, I'm giving it to Foley, since she has most of the quote.

[Folwren]

lol. How clumsy of me.

"Others of my kin have crossed the mountains, and they are wandering not far away."

Better?

Perfect! :D

[Folwren]

Apparently guessing letters of which there are none is no rare thing for me to do. :rolleyes:

M's?

[Galadriel55]

Me is confused very very. I can't recognise anything at all. Or, rather, I do - some bits - but all from different places. :rolleyes:

R's?

[Guinevere]

THE NORM (no P) (+ I added a forgotten T :( )

"Kinsman, farewell! May your doom be other than mine, and your treasure remain with you to the end!"

Celeborn to Aragorn in the chapter Many Partings.

[Guinevere]

Yes, that's it!

[Folwren]

Sweet. Thanks, Guinevere.

Is that too short?

[Galadriel55]

E's, please!

Is that too short?

No, I don't think so.

[Folwren]

Great.

And be sure to phone home.

I don't understand. :confused:

[Galadriel55]

How about some R's.

I don't understand. :confused:

Me neither.

[Folwren]

No R's, sorry.

[Galadriel55]

No R's?

What about S's, then?

[Folwren]

I think I can accomodate an s or two.

Apparently it's just two.

Better.

Perhaps L's will do the trick?

I'm disappointed with myself. I still can't get it.

"Y"s, please.

I still can't figure it out, even though I have half of the words...

B's?

[Folwren]

No B's, sorry.

ABELNORSTY

No B's either?

I feel really stupid.

I's, then?

[Folwren]

I can do I's...

ABEILNORSTY

I left a letter out of one of the words....the second to last word. Check it out now.

I was looking in every possible wrong spot. :o

[Folwren]

lol...yeah, I know how that is.

Good job. Your go.

[Galadriel55]

Thank you!

The underscore is really a dash.

[Guinevere]

How about some H's ?

[Tuor in Gondolin]

[Galadriel55]

For some reason I missed a few letters all over the place. I think I fixed all of them.

Aha! :)

"Indeed, for Three Purposes! First of all, to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that eleventy-one years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits."

part of Bilbo's party speech


(btw, I seem to be the only one who understood Tuor in Gondolin's joke from 05-27-2011:

The letter E was already there. Tuor wrote: "t"s, please. And be sure to phone home. = ET phone home ;)

[Galadriel55]

That's absolutely correct, Guinevere!


= ET phone home

Ohhhhhh! I get it now! :D

[Guinevere]

:) Here's the next one:

"----/! --/ --/ ---/ --/ ----/ --/ --/ ------/! ---/ ---/ -/ ----/ ---/? ---/ ---/ ---/ ---/ -----/, -/ ------/ --/ ----/, --/ ---/ ------/ ----/ -----/ --/ ----/ --/. ---/ -------/ -----/!"

What about A's, then?

Sorry for not replying sooner, for some reason I didn't get any notification on my e-mail account. :o But with all these new letters it won't be difficult to guess anymore!;)

And welcome to the game, Nolwë-Namiel!

[Galadriel55]

"Alas! It is ill to walk in my shadow! Why did I seek aid? For now you are alone, O Master of Doom, as you should have known it must be. Now conquer alone!"

Turin to himself after Hunthor's death. That's one of my favourite COH passages. :)

[Guinevere]

Correct, of course! :) (poor brave Hunthor!)

[Galadriel55]

Poor brave Hunthor, and poor cursed Turin... I just love COH! :)

Ok, I found that I mixed up the word order, now all's fixed. I hope. Every time I put up a quote here something is wrong with it. :rolleyes:

[LadyBrooke]

Don't feel bad about that, I can bet you on the Hangman mix up front. I was on one of my other forums, and somehow managed to (likely due to lack of sleep) post the quote, and miss all but one O that I was supposed to include....:o

Anyways, S, please?

[Guinevere]

R please

[Galadriel55]

Great choices, both!

And I found more missing letters. *exasperated smiley*

[Folwren]

Okay, I feel like a jerk coming in after only guessing one letter....actually...I feel so much like a jerk, that I won't fill it out. I'll let Tuor or Lady Brooke do it.
