Paavo, what's your answer?

[paavo]

the answer is Biter aka glamdring. it is the sword of Gandalf (the wise), and it is called biter by orcs (the foul). I admit that this was quite a vague question so you really don't need to give the next letter (unless if you want to, of course. :) )

[Evisse the Blue]

No, it was a good question. Nothing wrong with being a bit cryptic. I understood your question, but I couldn't come up with the answer so it's only fair I give the next letter. It's I.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

[Evisse the Blue]

It's Firiel. (from Firiel's song, who was tempted to go with the Elves, but at the same time remained 'Earth's daughter, so she was left behind)

OT: Saw Nightwish live for the 1st time, 19th of November. They rock, it was unbelievable! (sorry, I just had to say it, I'm saying it to everybody these days, no matter how off-topic it is :p )

[Fingolfin II]

Ah, Firiel, of course! No it's not her :D. So now we have FO.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

[Evisse the Blue]

Is it old and long yet incomplete?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

What I had in mind were good old Eggs. One gross is used to describe 144 eggs, which is what Bilbo used to describe his guests at the Farewell Party.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

EGL

EDIT: If I am not mistaken, there are only one or two things in the Legendarium that starts with "Egl-" that is left unsaid. So, come and get it.
