Palantir of Fortune!

[Persephine]

Okay, everybody, come one, come all, to the newest, hottest gameshow of all time !!! It's the Palantir of Fortune !!!

Everything has to be LOTR related, kk ???

And you can call out letters and everything !!!

Okay, our first thingy ( Or whatever you may call it! ) is a line from the book...

Please do keep tabs on this, Persephine. This a great idea for a quiz, and I hope that you keep it updated.

Just a message from your friendly, neighborhood Wight.

[Persephine]

Yes, I am going to keep tabs on it, but you people can also put in your questions after this first one, right ???

Glad you liked it !!!

Okay, any more guesses ?!?!

[hobbitlass]

I'd like to buy an "E" please.

[Galadel Vinorel]

May I have an "n", please, for 500 dollars? He-He!! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Persephine]

Hmmmmm...N and E....wait a bit...

_ _ _ / _ S / _ / _ _ _ S E
N _ S E / _ _ _ E / _ / S N _ _ E

Anyone getting any closer to figuring out what it is ???

* EDIT *
BTW, the last one I put there, the one in my last post, something's wrong with it. I forgot a word in the last sentence, but I've added it in here.

[Gandalf_theGrey]

I love this type of word game! smilies/smile.gif

Herewith be the answer you seek:

Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
It make the earth shake.

* bows *

Gandalf the Grey

P.S. It being middle night here, if someone else wishes to start the next phrase/sentence, please feel welcome.

I just thought that I could start a new one.

Some one can start the new one...

Do you want me to stop and you can start one, or do you want me to finish, and then you can start one?

[Persephine]

I'd like to guess an A please, or has that been guessed ?!?!?!

Or maybe a C !!!

[Sauron999]

I'll take an N

If it's unfair of me to solve it right away, somebody slap me, okay? But the fact that it's a song and those telling hyphens kinda gave it away, so....

Oh, I can already see what it is!! smilies/smile.gif

"We look towards Nùmenor that was, and beyond Elvenhome that is, and to that which is beyond Elvenhome and will ever be."

It`s what Faramir (my favourite character in the book) says before the meal in Henneth Anun.

[Diamond18]

That's right, Guinevere! It was also my old sig...and will be my sig again after Christmas. smilies/smile.gif

[Guinevere]

Do you still have time to guess riddles at X-mas? I myself can`t promise to come here every day, I`m so busy (being a mother and housewife). Well, I`ll try!

Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor,
for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,

It`s the end of the barrow-wights incantation (The one which starts with "Cold be hand and heart and bone..)

"In the black wind the stars shall die
and still on gold here let them lie
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land."

I still don't see it, but could I have a "W"

[Guinevere]

Yes, I do! smilies/smile.gif
Even if I don't have my Silmarillion with me, I see that it is Finrod at his death saying to Beren:

"I go now to my long rest in the timeless halls beyond the seas and the mountains of Aman. It will be long ere I am seen among the Noldor again; and it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life, for the fates of our kindred are apart, Farewell!"

[lathspell]

Wonderful, Guinevere. And though you didn't have the Silmarillion with you were absolutely right. one wrong letter, but that is forgiven smilies/wink.gif - kindred = kindreds

To you the great responsibility to ask a submit a new quote smilies/smile.gif

[Guinevere]

Oops, I had plainly overlooked that missing "s" ! smilies/frown.gif

Yup it does remind of our great friends, the Ents.

To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone.
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door.

This is a part of the song the Ents sang when going to Isengard with Merry and Pippin.
