For anyone who does not know: this is an invented quote which could possibly have been said in a situation where direct speech is not reported to us.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;I will char your straw to ashes, weakling! The seed of my Golden Father burns yet hot in me!&quot;<hr></blockquote>

Who might have said this, and to whom?

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Well thought, and well possible, but the straw is meant more figuratively.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

No, why?

Actually, the &quot;charring&quot; is not to be taken too literally, and I tried to lessen its effect by the addition of &quot;hot in me&quot;.

<h6> They're making their last film - they say it's the best - we all helped make it - it's called The Death of the West </h6></p>

[HerenIstarion]

A bit fantastic, maybe, but Gandalf to Frodo, angered by latter's foolish behavior, when hobbit almost refused to leave the ring behind. Straw - Bilbo's sword, golden father - Eru.

Or, better still (returning to dragons and their golden father - Glaurung) Scatha the Worm to Eorl, or whoever killed him. Straw now will mean yellow hair of the Rohirrim

Yes, for exactly that reason I said &quot;straw&quot;, to hint on Scatha. Go on, H-I!

Can't think of nothing suitable. Only the Ring is coming on my mind. Is it Bilbo in Rivendell talking to Frodo after his (Frodo's) return, when older Ringbearer suddenly forgot that ring was already destroyed?

Re: Go now...

Red, could you please give me the passage where it is stated that they visited Aglarond _before_ Helm's Deep? Maybe I am missing the decisive point, but when they made the bargain (in The Road to Isengard) they said they'd go to Fangorn first; and in Many Partings Legolas says that they now go to Fangorn.

Re: Go now...

Sharku, I don't even understand your question. Where does Helm's Deep come in? To fulfill their bargain they visited Aglarond first, Fangorn second. So my quote is supposed to be Gimli remarking to Legolas about Fangorn since only then was the bargain fulfilled. Get it?

Re: Go now...

Please do not misunderstand me. Neither do I feel cheated nor do I want to intervene considering the 'asking right'. I was just curious to know where from you derive the information that the caves behind Helm's Deep (to which I was referring shortly by 'Helm's Deep') were visited first and Fangorn second. Maybe I consulted the wrong pages - but the sentence &quot;You shall visit Fangorn with me, and then I will come with you to see Helm's Deep&quot; spoken by Legolas in 'The Road to Isengard' and the words &quot;Come, Gimli!' said Legolas. 'Now by Fangorn's leave I will visit the Entwood and see such trees as are nowhere else [...]&quot; in 'Many Partings' convinced me of my stance.
Please correct me if I am wrong, because I do not want to rely on a false image I may have any further.

Sharku is right, no doubt about that. As for the question, is it Frodo talking to Gollum on the Stairs, bidding him leave them?

Re: Go now...

No, Sharku is wrong. Unless, of course, he is reading a different version of LotR than I am! Where you see, &quot;Come, Gimli!&quot; said Legolas. &quot;Now by Fangorn's leave I will visit the deep places of the Entwood...&quot;.....now flip BACK a few pages (just a few) and you will see this...&quot;Then Legolas repaid his promise to Gimli and went with him to the Glittering Caves...&quot;

So...Aglarond was FIRST and Fangorn was second.

My apologies than red, but I had the same notion (strange as it is), and due to my lazyness did not bother to check it out when first saw this debate.

As for the quote, could it be Gandalf talking thoughtfully to himself looking down from Gwaihir the Windlord's back onto Orodruin?

Re: Go now...

Wow! Great answers. I see that I may have come up with a &quot;never was&quot; quote that was a bit too generalized. But I think I'll let this one play out a little longer, arguing that despite the creativity of the answers, Gollum was &quot;faithful&quot; neither to Gandalf nor to Shelob.

You're ever so close, HI, but again I would argue that Déagol didn't really have a long enough relationship with the Ring to be called &quot;faithful&quot;. The answer should be obvious by now...

Re: A new quote that wasn't

HI,

By saying &quot;which is certainly NOT Elrond&quot;, are you saying that I am incorrect in answering your question, or are you saying that Elrond is NOT a descendant of Earendil? No big deal if I'm incorrect in answering the question, but Elrond is certainly a descendant of Earendil the Mariner. Elrond and Elros are the sons of Earendil and Elwing, daughter of King Dior. (At least according to the family tree of the House of Beor and the Mortal Descent of Elrond &amp; Elros. I don't have my books with me, but I've found this on the Cabed-en-Aras website.)

I'm just confused and looking for clarification to your statement <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> !

At any rate, since Earendil is the forefather you are looking for, and the father of Elros, I'm going to guess that the answer you are looking for might be Aragorn II.

amyrlis

</p>

[HerenIstarion]

Excuse me if I came off misterious (heh). I meant that answer I'm looking for is not Elrond, and Aragorn is incorrect too, but you are on the right path - the one I need is from the line of Elros indeed, though he lived long before Aragorn and long after Elros. Good luck :)

Heren Istarion, I am thinking that it is perhaps Amandil? Amandil, the last lord of Andunië in Numenor, speaking of his proposal to sail to Valinor, just as Eärendil the Mariner his forefather did ages long ago to beg for forgiveness at the hands of the Valar?

Well...

Actually I was thinking of Ar-Pharazon speaking of the Valar (because of the words Sauron had spoken to him, telling him that they were greedy and wanted to keep their land from the Numenorians etc.) but the answer you have given fits into that quote better than my intentions. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> Ask away!

No Idea

Well, I am, to be perfectly honest, completely dumbfounded <img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> but I do have one suggestion: A captain of a guard in the goblin lairs above the high pass belonging to the Great Goblin, who fled as Thorin + Co escaped, since no-one is named - or perhaps the Great Goblin himself, though he was slain...It could've been Bolg or Azog during the War of Dwarves and Orcs or the Battle of the Five Armies respectively; And there are a whole range of possibilities if Hobbits were meant by pygmeys, but they are not. <img src=ohwell.gif ALT=":/">

Re: Aliiive

Ah, but Gandalf was The White by then! Who else then? Gandalf had many enemies... Could it be the Goblins of the Misty Mountains after Gandalf's (and Thorin &amp; Co's) rescue by the eagles? Saruman after Gandalf was rescued (again) by an eagle from Orthanc? Perhaps Gollum after Gandalf had &quot;wrung the truth from him&quot; in Mirkwood? The Nazgûl after their run-in with Gandalf at Weathertop?
