Palantir of Fortune: Lost Tales/HoME

[Tuor of Gondolin]

What about a perhaps more challenging form of "Palantir of Fortune"
based on the less known CT edited Book Of Lost Tales and HoME?
(Unless it's too redundant to other games, at the discretion of moderators).

Citations could be drawn from poems, songs, and/or quotes.

1) It might be more challenging to not look up the quotes, unless stumped.
2) Where known, the speaker should also be identified, although many times
there is no specific speaker.

Let's breath some life into it, probably the thread simply went unnoticed (I for one just spotted it)

How about some E's?

[piosenniel]

T's --- please

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Oops! There are a couple of problems here.
1) I have erratic access to a computer (my old one can't get online and I have to use library ones)
2) It's been so long I forgot the quote. :D :o

So here's a new one. However, I can only check it 4-5 times a week, so you may need to be patient.

P.S. Had to start a new poster form:
so Tuor of Gondolin=Tuor in Gondolin.

[HerenIstarion]

Er, mind adding some a's, please?

And while we are at it, did you forget your previous login pass or something? Is there difference between the post # 1 and #4 or are my eyes deceiving me? :eek: (yes, I indeed do mean 'of' and 'in' interoperability...)

put in a missing "r".

Now it's nearly complete!! Come on, Macalaure, you surely know it! ;)

[Macalaure]

Thanks for reminding, Guinevere. I forgot about this.
Well, I can't check right now, but I think it's:

Lady beloved, whom all Men,
whom Elfinesse, and whom all things
with fur and fell and feathered wings
should serve and love - arise! Away!
Put on thy cloak! Before the day
comes over Nargothrond we fly
to Northern perils, thou and I.

Sounds like Huan to Luthien.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

That's it! And in only 13 months! :D

I thought there might be indecision as to whether
the speaker was Huan or Beren.

[Macalaure]

Let's see if I can do the next in 12? :D

There was only one word I couldn't figure out (-o- =joy) but fortunately there were enough clues to find where the quote comes from! :)

Foresight is given to the Eldar in many things not far off, though seldom of joy, and I say to thee: thou shalt live long in the order of your kind, and he will go forth before thee and he will not wish to return.

Well, in that case I guess it must be:
Make me a music for heart's ache,

But I still don't know who said it. Perhaps Morgoth?? :rolleyes:

*Off to search the books once more*

[Macalaure]

Correct!

It's Lúthien to Daeron while she is imprisoned on Hírilorn.

[Guinevere]

:) I just hurried here to tell you that I have finally found it!

But it is not while Luthien is imprisoned on Hirilorn (that's where I had looked for it before and why I couldn't find it!)
She says this to Daeron right after Melian told her that Beren was in a dungeon, and after that she asks Daeron to help her go and find Beren, and Daeron betrays her to Thingol.

Well, anyway, here is a new one, (this time not from the lays of Beleriand)

Oh, I'm sorry, Macalaure! :o (It's in Volume 9.) But I think you're on the right track. :)

[Macalaure]

No need to be sorry.

There's only one word I don't know... M?

[Guinevere]

"Mar-h/ the/ t-enty_-i-th/!" (......) "This/ day/ se-enteen/ years/ ag-/, R-se/ -i-e/, I/ didn't/ thin-/ I/ sh--ld/ e-er/ see/ thee/ again/. --t/ I/ -e-t/ -n/ h--ing/."

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Too good a chance to pass to up ask for a little requested letter.
"x"s?

[Guinevere]

Sorry, Tuor, wrong guess! No x ...

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Well then, how about "f"s?

[Guinevere]

:D but of course !

[Macalaure]

"March the twenty-fifth!" said Sam?, "This day seventeen years ago, Rose wife, I didn't think I should ever see thee again. But I kept on hoping."

[Guinevere]

Exactly! :)

I just love this epilogue! I borrowed volume 9 just to read that. Otherwise I only have volume 10 (because I wanted to read about Finrod and Andreth), and volume 3 (the lays of Beleriand)

[Macalaure]

Unfortunately, the next is from neither of those...

12! Close enough. And I forgot an i.. :o

[Guinevere]

:) So far I figured out this:

"A strange folk are we," he said. "now cold, now hot. First wrath, then ruth. Under your chieftain's feet or at his throat. Down with -ar-a--! Up with -a-t-or!
Wilt thou go up?"

I guess the two words I can't get are names? (I have no idea about whom this is)
Do these names appear anywhere else than in HoME ?


H perhaps??

[Macalaure]

AEFHIOPRST

'A/ stra--e/ fo--/ are/ -e,' he said. '-o-/ -o--/, -o-/ hot/.

First/ -rath/, the-/ r-th/. ---er/ -o-r/ -hieftai-'s/ feet/ or/ at/ his/ throat/.

-o--/ -ith/ Har-a--/! -p/ -ith/ -a-thor/! -i-t/ tho-/ -o/ -p?'


They don't appear anywhere else, but they are closely related to some who do. The speaker is quite well-known.

I have to say that there's one letter wrong in your solution. :p

And I forgot another i! :rolleyes:

[Guinevere]

Well, perhaps Tuor will now recognise it, if he has the appropriate book :)

How about N ?

[Macalaure]

AEFHINOPRST

'A/ stran-e/ fo--/ are/ -e,' he said. 'No-/ -o--/, no-/ hot/.

First/ -rath/, then/ r-th/. -n-er/ -o-r/ -hieftain's/ feet/ or/ at/ his/ throat/.

-o-n/ -ith/ Har-an-/! -p/ -ith/ -anthor/! -i-t/ tho-/ -o/ -p?'


I originally only included the third line in order to make it easier for you and Tuor, because now there were actual names in it so you could maybe guess the origin... well, didn't work.

If you can locate the one fault, I'll hold it solved. :)

[Guinevere]

"A strange folk are ye" (instead of we) ? But wait and let Tuor have a guess when he's around.

[Macalaure]

No more waiting, I'm sorry...

'A strange folk are ye,' he said. 'now cold, now hot.

First wrath, then ruth. Under your chieftain's feet or at his throat.

Down with Hardang! Up with Manthor! Wilt thou go up?'


It's from volume 11, The Wanderings of Húrin.

When Húrin comes to Brethil he is less than unwelcome to Brandir's successor Hardang. Húrin is bitter and gets involved in an incident that gets him arrested. Manthor, relative of Hunthor, becomes his friend and defends him in the trial. The trial turns into a tumult and the Haladin revolt against their Halad. The sight of this makes Húrin speak this laconic statement.
I'm not telling the end of the story, but it is sad to see what the Folk of Haleth has come to. :(


So, your turn again, Guinevere!

[Guinevere]

Thanks for the elucidation, Macalaure! :)
(Btw; Hardang is also a place in Norway, as well as an actual Norwegian familyname!)

You guessed wrong. It's three. :p

Even better!T SAURON very adequate! :D

Hm, I know now whereabout to look for this quote! ;) Perhaps there is a capital M as well?

SAURON TM (no J)

[Guinevere]

I found it! :D

But Ulmo answered:

"Nonetheless Miriel died. (.....) And death is for the eldar an evil, that is a thing unnatural in Arda Unmarred, which must proceed therefore from the marring. For if the death of Miriel was otherwise , and came from beyond Arda it would not bring grief or doubt."

"unnatural" was a big clue! I knew then it must be about death. (If it had been in a fanfic, however, I would have suspected something quiiite different. ;) )

[Macalaure]

And that is absolutely correct!

[Guinevere]

:) Thank you, Macalaure!
