Palantir of Fortune non-quote quote edition

[Tuor of Gondolin]

I don't believe there is this type of game yet. If so, oops!

What's a non-quote quote? :confused:
Well, the majority of Tolkien's works are obviously not words spoken by or sung
by an individual, therefore the majority of his writings, including a number of memorable lines, are outside the purview (whatever that is :eek: ) of other
Palantir of Fortune games.

Rules are generally the same as other Palantir games.
Rules: The quote is a series of blanks which are filled in by letters guessed by players until someone guesses the quote. Whoever guesses correctly gets the thread. If necessary, the context of the non-quote quote should be given. The first one certainly needs such an explanation.

F

[Firefoot]

He had no fear, save for weather and weariness, and these men must endure whom need sends far abroad in Middle-earth. I don't know where it's from, but I'll take a guess: is it about Tuor?

[Tuor of Gondolin]

The quote's correct, so I'd say you win. It's about Isildur, in UT:
"The Disaster of the Gladden Fields."

[rutslegolas]

"c"?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

There was a flare of livid lightnings: forks of blue flame springing up from the tower and from the encircling hills into the sullen clouds.

This wonderful description can be found in TTT, in the chapter: The Stairs of Cirith Ungol.

[Firefoot]

Wow, someone got it. ;) Good job Mariska.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks!

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Well, it's been a day, so, hoping MG doesn't mind too much, I checked.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Well, I don't mind too much ;) But it's always best to just wait for confirmation anyway, even if you are sure your answer is right...

Can I have E's please?

[The Saucepan Man]

But it's always best to just wait for confirmation anyway, even if you are sure your answer is right...Indeed. Them's the rules!

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Fair enough. Why not let someone else go, then?
I've taken the quote off.
