Appendices Quotes

[Fingolfin II]

I did a search and couldn't find any threads like this, so here goes-

Basically, what happens here is that the person gives a quote said by someone in the LotR Appendices and you have to guess who said that and on what occasion.

Here's the first one-

This cannot be borne!

[Evisse the Blue]

Said by Thrain when Nar told him of his meeting with Azog.

[Fingolfin II]

Yep.

[Evisse the Blue]

"Take counsel with yourself..."

[InklingElf]

Here's the rest of it said by Aragorn:

"'Lady Undómiel,' said Aragorn, 'the hour is indeed hard, yet it was made even in that day we met under the white birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk. And on the hill of Cerin Amroth when we forsook both the Shadow and the Twilight this doom we accepted. Take counsel with yourself, beloved, and ask if you would indeed have me wait until I whither and fall from my high seat unmanned and witless. Nay, lady, I am the last of the Númenoreans and the latest King of the Elder Days; and to me has been given not only a span thrice that of Men of Middle-Earth, but also the grace to go at my will, and give back the gift. Now, therefore, I will sleep.

[Evisse the Blue]

Well done! Go on. :)

[InklingElf]

Thanks! Sorry I took forever here's a quote:

"Azog! Azog!"

[InklingElf]

I'd really love to go on with the game so I'll give a clue as to who it is said to:

they are creatures of the dark

[Firefoot]

It was the warriors of Náin as they hewed through the Orcs to the threshold of Moria.

[InklingElf]

right on Firefoot! Your turn.

[Firefoot]

Thanks.I will await you.

[Rinfanawen]

"Take this ring, Master," he [Círdan] said, "for your labours will be heavy; but it will support you in the weariness that you have taken upon yourself. For this is the Ring of Fire, and with it you may rekindle hearts in a world that grows chill. But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails. I will await you."

'Twas Círdan who said it, and a fine quote it is. I had forgotten about that one. Well researched, Firefoot.

[Firefoot]

Thanks. That's correct (as if you couldn't tell ;) :) ).

[Rinfanawen]

Okay, here's the next quote:

"He will not return to this land."

There you go!

[InklingElf]

It was Glorfindel:
“Do not pursue him! He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the of hand man will he fall.”

[Rinfanawen]

Right you are, InklingElf. Your go!

[InklingElf]

Alright here's another one:

"But I am tired of poverty and the scorn of Men."

[Guinevere]

Thror to Thrain before setting out to Moria

[InklingElf]

Correct! Your turn.

[Guinevere]

Thank you :) Be off! We need no hearers.

[Encaitare]

Helm Hammerhand to Freca's men, shortly before killing Breca with a blow from his fist.

[Guinevere]

Please proceed.

[Encaitare]

:) Here's the next one:

Such is my fate.

[rutslegolas]

Arwen To Elessar at Elessar's death when she decides to reamin behind in Middle-Earth.

This is my 200 hundreth post ,so i hope its correct :D :p

[Guinevere]

Sorry to disappoint you, Rutslegolas, :( ;)
but it was young Aragorn who said this to Elrond in Imladris, about his (seemingly hopeless) love for Arwen.

[Encaitare]

Indeed you are right, Guinevere! Go ahead!

[Guinevere]

Thanks! :) ...I guess that we share one trouble at least.

[paavo]

is it Gandalf to Thorin or Thorin to gandalf at the prancing pony?

[Guinevere]

Gandalf to Thorin is correct! Your turn.

[paavo]

"for if I will not go now, then I must soon go perforce."

[Encaitare]

[paavo]

[Fingolfin II]

Ah, sorry, yep here I am.

[Firefoot]

Yes, yes of course.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

sorry, I am on a business trip...don't have my books. Please, someone, proceed as I am unable to for awile :(

[Carnimírië]

I'll take it if you don't mind...

"What is that doom?"

[Fingolfin II]

I think that's Aragorn to Elrond?

[Carnimírië]

That's it.

[rutslegolas]

Finglofin II are you there?? :confused: :D

[Fingolfin II]

Yep, I am now, thanks ruts.

Try:

(Sorry, don't have the book on me just right now.)

[Firefoot]

[Fingolfin II]

Firefoot?

[Firefoot]

"For I guess that we share one trouble at least." Here you go!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

alrighty then...
'some other power than ours must come'

[Encaitare]

Thrain to Dain regarding how they must not reenter Khazad-Dum.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

actually Dain said it to Thrain, but you got the context right and the right names, so you may go ahead. ;)

[Encaitare]

Confound these lookalike names! :D

Next one:

To the anvil.

[rutslegolas]

Thorin to Dain ??

[Encaitare]

Correct characters; give me the situation and it's your turn. :)

[rutslegolas]

[Encaitare]

Indeed. :)

[rutslegolas]

Ok

" We have the Victory ."

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Said by Thrain to the victorious dwarves after the Battle of Azanulbizar.

[rutslegolas]

Indeed my Lady.

Your Turn

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Thank you, kind sir :)
Next one:

"...things that we need,"

[rutslegolas]

Lossoth Chief of the Snowmen said this to Arvedui??

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Indeed, he did. The thread is now your very own!

[rutslegolas]

Thank you my Lady

"Other tasks now call me,..... ".

[Carnimírië]

Might this be Thorongil when he sneaks secretly away from Gondor after winning a fight against the Corsairs?

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes, it's from The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, ANNALS OF THE KINGS AND RULERS, I Númenorean Kings, (iv) GONDOR AND THE HEIRS OF ANÁRION, The Stewards:

'Thorongil often counselled Ecthelion that the strength of the rebels in Umbar was a great peril to Gondor, and a threat to the fiefs of the south that would prove deadlly, if Sauron moved to open war. At last he got leave of the Steward and gathered a small fleet, and he came to Umbar unlooked for by night, and there burned a great part of the ships of the Corsairs. He himself overthrew the Captain of the Haven in battle upon the quays, and then he withdrew his fleet with small loss. But when they came back to Pelargir, to men's grief and wonder, he would not return to Minas Tirith, where great honour awaited him.

'He sent a message of farewell to Ecthelion, saying: "Other tasks now call me, lord, and much time and many perils must pass, ere I come again to Gondor, if that be my fate." Though none could guess what those tasks might be, nor what summons he had received, it was known whither he went. For he took boat and crossed over Anduin, and there he said farewell to his companions and went on alone; and when he was last seen his face was towards the Mountains of Shadow.

But from the above quote, you can see that he did not sneak secretly away from Gondor.

[Carnimírië]

I should have known better than to answer without checking my book. Thanks, Lostgaeriel! :)

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes, Carnimírië, it's usually wise to check the book first. :) I think rutslegolas ought to give you the credit for this one, though. Afterall, without your reply I wouldn't have known where to look in the Appendices. I was just curious because I didn't remember that bit. Then of course, I had to be a smart@ss and point out that little no sneaking thing.

Ooh, I made 3 typos in that quote. Must fix them. Sometimes being a perfection-seeking (dead) Elf is a real drag. ;)

[rutslegolas]

Indeed Carnimírië you are right ,sorry for not replying I have'nt been able to post due to my exams ,but I am back !!

[Carnimírië]

Welcome back rutslegolas. :)
I am the master!

[Encaitare]

Azog to Nar after killing Thror.

[Carnimírië]

Correct.

[Encaitare]

Next one:

Call them so, if you will.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Thorin to Gandalf, speaking of his halls.

[Encaitare]

Take it away, luthien. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Next one then:

if it was not a wonder

[Guinevere]

It is Gandalf talking to Frodo and Gimli about Dain's death:
"I should call that a heavy loss, if it was not a wonder rather that in his great age he could still wield his axe as mightily..."

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Excellanto, Guinevere :)

[Guinevere]

Thanks! :) You loved your freedom

[Firefoot]

Eorl to Felarof.

[Guinevere]

You know that, of course ! ;)

[Firefoot]

A horse, of course. :D

*ducks flying tomatoes.* ;) :rolleyes:

"Such is my fate."

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Aragorn to Elrond

[Firefoot]

You bet.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Next:

deal with it later

[luthien-elvenprincess]

bump...forgot about this. I added more to the quote

deal with it later. Meanwhile the king

[Fingolfin II]

Helm to Freca?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

affirmative, dear boy ;)

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

....or to fall into darkness.....

[Guinevere]

Elrond to Aragorn:
" A great doom awaits you, either to rise above the height of all your fathers since the days of Elendil, or to fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin."

[Fingolfin II]

Yep.

[Guinevere]

Thanks! :)
....for they are hard to come by.
If this is too short, I will add some more of the quote... ;)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Fram to the Dwarves

Jewels such as these you will not match in your treasuries, for they are hard to come by.[/B] [B]

[Guinevere]

http://www.travar.de/Templates/Webprojekt/images/luxhello.gif
Yes, well done, Luthien!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Thanks!

Some would think...

[The Elf-warrior]

Thrain to Thorin Oakenshield.
"Some would think this head dearly bought!"

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Correct Elf-Warrier. Thankfully, I still had the bookmark left in place...I had forgotten the answer and would have had to search for it!
Good job...your turn.

[The Elf-warrior]

"Call them so, if you will,"

[The Elf-warrior]

Anybody want to take a stab at it?

[Lostgaeriel]

This is Thorin Oakenshield to Gandalf, referring to his so-called "halls".

Gandalf looked at him with wonder. 'That is strange, Thorin Oakenshield ,' he said. 'For I have thought of you also; and though I am on my way to the Shire, it was in my mind that is the way also to your halls.'

'Call them so, if you will,' said Thorin. 'They are only poor lodgings in exile. But you would be welcome there, if you would come. For they say that you are wise and know more than any other of what goes on in the world; and I have much on my mind and would be glad of your counsel.' - tLotR, Appendix A, III Durin's Folk

[The Elf-warrior]

Correct! Your turn now!

[Lostgaeriel]

Sorry for the delay.

'But great Kings take what is their right,' he said.

[Hiriel]

I believe that was Sauron to Ar-Pharazon in Appendix A.

And Sauron lied to the King, declaring that everlasting life would be his who possessed the Undying Lands, and that the Ban was imposed only to prevent the Kings of Men from surpassing the Valar. 'But great Kings take what is their right,' he said. - Sauron to Ar-Pharazon

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes, Hiriel, you are correct. And thanks for taking the time to type out the quote in context so everyone can find it.

I like this quote - I find it mildly amusing that an Age later, a great King does take what is his right and helps to destroy Sauron in the bargain:

'You forget to whom you speak,' said Aragorn sternly, and his eyes glinted. 'Did I not openly proclaim my title before the doors of Edoras? What do you fear that I should say to him? Nay, Gimli,' he said in a softer voice, and the grimness left his face, and he looked like one who has laboured in sleepless pain for many nights. 'Nay, my friends, I am the lawful master of the Stone, and I had both the right and the strength to use it, or so I judged. The right cannot be doubted. The strength was enough – barely.' tRotK, The Passing of the Grey Company

Your turn! Good luck - there's not a lot of dialogue in the Appendices to choose from.

[Hiriel]

De nada. And yes indeed, the parallel is very interesting and ironic. I hadn't noticed that before.
Herm, well, here it goes:

But it needs gold to breed gold.

[Eonwe]

Thror to Thrain, i believe.This may prove the foundation of new fortune for you yet, though that seems unlikely. But it needs gold to breed gold.

[Hiriel]

Yes, that's exactly right. Well done. :)

[Eonwe]

Ok here we go:
"I will await you."

have fun :)

[Hiriel]

That would be Cirdan, after presenting Gandalf the ring of fire.

"But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails. I will await you."

[Eonwe]

nicely done. take it away, Hiriel.

[Hiriel]

Thankee. Here's the next one:

"You owe me a great wereguild..."

[Eonwe]

taht would be eorl to felarof

But now you owe me a great weregild, and you shall surrender your freedom to me until your life's end.

[Hiriel]

Yes indeed. Your go. :)

[Eonwe]

ok here goes.

I will send to your aid when you have need, so far as I am able.

[Hiriel]

That, I think, is part of the message from Earnil to Arvedui.

"But I do not forget the loyalty of Arnor, nor deny our kinship, nor wish that the realms of Elendil should be estranged. I will send you aid when you have need, so far as I am able."

[Eonwe]

You are correct. please proceed! :)

[Hiriel]

Thankee kindly.

"...let us not be overthrown..."

[Dimturiel]

"But let us not be overthrown at the final test, who of old renounced the Shadow and the Ring.". Aragorn to Arwen before dying. :(

[Hiriel]

Yup. *tear*. Well done. :)

[Dimturiel]

Thank you. :) ...ere tomorrow is old.

[Hiriel]

That would be Theoden to Gandalf, I think.

"Take any horse, only be gone ere tomorrow is old!"

[Dimturiel]

That's right. Go ahead.

[Hiriel]

Thanks. Herm...

"Here's your fee,"

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Drop it! Be off! Here's your fee, beggar-beard.

Azog to Nár

[Hiriel]

Yes indeed. Your thread.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Other tasks now call me,

Dont know if it has been used.

[Hiriel]

That's Aragorn as Thorongil to Echthalion, I think.

"Other tasks now call me, lord, and much time and many perils must
pass, ere I come again to Gondor, if that be my fate."

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

right you are.

Your thread again.

[Hiriel]

Thanks.

"we share one trouble at least."

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Gandalf toThorin, "I will come for I guess that we share one trouble at least."

[Hiriel]

That's the one. Your go. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

New quote,

we have not heard

[Eonwe]

The Council of Gondor to Arnedui's claim to the Kingship.

And we have not heard that the law is otherwise in Arnor.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Yes, you are correct, Eonwe!

[Eonwe]

ok here we go.

much time and many perils must pass, ere i return

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

That's Aragorn as Thorongil to Echthelion

"Other tasks now call me, lord, and much time and many perils must pass, ere I come again to Gondor, if that be my fate.

I used the same quote just a few post's back :D

[Eonwe]

:o oops! didn't remember that. of course, you are correct. carry on!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

we share one trouble

it's true, they did!

[Eonwe]

lets see. that would be gandalf to thorin at their chance meating in the inn at bree.

(i think this was used resently too. :p ;) )

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It proberbly was, but I am/was too tired to look at the thread.
(I just opend the book and those words were the first i saw)
