Yep smilies/smile.gif

[Guinevere]

smilies/smile.gif And what shall that design be?

[Celegorm]

And what shall that design be? said Elendil (to Amandil, before Amandil left to search the Valar).

[Guinevere]

Exactly! Your turn, Celegorm smilies/smile.gif (and welcome to the thread! )

[Celegorm]

Thank's for your welcome.

Here is my quote (easy I think):
I did not desire such lordship.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That was Aule to Iluvatar.

[Celegorm]

Of cause, Mariska, go on.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

thanks!

But a worse thing is yet to come forth.

[Lord of Angmar]

A clue, perhaps?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

It's a quote in a quote... smilies/tongue.gif

[Lord of Angmar]

This is only a guess, since my copy of the Silm is temporarily unavailable, but could it be Manwe quoting some foreshadowing by Iluvatar after taking counsel in his mind with Eru?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I'm sorry, but that's not it...

[gilraën]

Gelmir and Arminas say it to Thingol ?

[Beren87]

They were quoting Ulmo, too.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

You're both right of course.
Gilraen can go I suppose.. smilies/wink.gif

[gilraën]

Okay smilies/smile.gif

I would weep

[Celegorm]

'and I would weep, if I were not so weary.'

[Celegorm]

Who said:
'for I loved him well'

[Guinevere]

Thingol said this to Beleg about Túrin.

"gladly would I welcome him back; for I loved him well"

[Celegorm]

Yes, your turn, Guinevere.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Celegorm!
Do I not strike near the truth?

[Eöl]

that would be Queen Melian to Artanis
"Artanis, tell me, of what cause were the high people of the Noldor driven forth as exiles from Aman? What evil lies on the sons of Fëanor that they be so haughty and fell? Do I not strike near the truth?"

[Guinevere]

Correct, Eol!
(Except that in my copy of the Silmarillion, Melian does not call Galadriel Artanis...)
Anyhow,it's your turn! smilies/smile.gif

[Eöl]

smilies/smile.gif thanks Guinevere

If there lay no grievance between us,..

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Maedhros to Fingolfin:

'If there lay no grievance between us, lord, still the kingship would rightly come to you, the eldest here of the house of Finwл, and not the least wise.'

[Eöl]

Indeed Mariska smilies/smile.gif

Your turn.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks.

...I see evil there...

smilies/evil.gif

[Eöl]

smilies/smile.gif, my previous answer , anyone?

Melian to Galadriel

But Melian said: 'Now much you tell me, and yet more I perceive. A darkness you would cast over the long road from Tirion, but I see evil there, which Thingol should learn for his guidance.'

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Very good!
Back to you... smilies/wink.gif

[Eöl]

smilies/smile.gif thanks

smilies/wink.gif

[Celegorm]

Without looking into the book:
Meadhros to Maglor about the Silmaril that are in Eonwe's posession?

[Eöl]

the one and only(maedhros) smilies/smile.gif

And Maedhros answered: 'But how shall our voices reach to Ilúvatar beyond the Circles of the World? And by Ilúvatar we swore in our madness, and called the Everlasting Darkness upon us, if we kept not our word.

very good Celegorm , your turn.

[Celegorm]

Thank's, Eöl.

Here we go: 'for now I am weary of the world'

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Earendil to Elwing:

"Choose thou, for now I am weary of the world."

[Celegorm]

Percisly what I meant. smilies/wink.gif

So your turn for Xmas, Mariska.

"(...); and thus we are all ensnared."

[Willow]

Finrod Felagund to Beren in Nargothrond: "Yet my own oath holds; and thus we are all ensnared."

[Guinevere]

Yes! Well done, Willow smilies/smile.gif your turn!

[symestreem]

"...; therefore we are their unfriends, and if they will not depart we shall afflict them in all ways that we can."

Note: I'm not stealing Willow's turn. I have two accounts here; see Willow's signature.

[The Saucepan Man]

I'm not stealing Willow's turn. I have two accounts here; see Willow's signature.

Could you just stick with one account then, please, at least in the Quiz and Quotes Rooms? Just so we know who's who.

That was what the Ossiriand Elves had to say about the men coming over the mountains into their land (they said it to Finrod).

being forsaken, must assuredly die alone

[symestreem]

Huan to Beren: "But if you will not deny your doom, then either Luthien, being forsaken, must assuredly die alone, or she must with you challenge the fate that lies before you- hopeless, yet not certain."

[the phantom]

Yep. smilies/smile.gif

[symestreem]

"Doubt not the power of Morgoth Bauglir! Is it not written in me?"

[Guinevere]

That was Gwindor speaking to Finduilas.

[symestreem]

Right!

[Guinevere]

Take heed!

[Lord of Angmar]

That would be Melian to Thingol, concering the fate of Beren.

[Guinevere]

Yes! Well done smilies/smile.gif

[Lord of Angmar]

"But hold me blameless in this, and in all that may come after."

[the phantom]

Feanor's mommy

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Until I return, I can say no more.

Amandil to Elendil, jhust before he set out on his voyage to Valinor.

Thingol to Beren.

Was that Beör to Finrod?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I'm so sorry, 'v been really busy lately,
You are absolutely right of course! smilies/smile.gif

Curunir to Mithrandir and Elrond

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Morwen to Hurin.

[Estanesse]

Bauglir, that's correct smilies/smile.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 1:48 PM January 24, 2004: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Bumping up for Bauglir!

[Eärendil]

Okay, it has been a few weeks, so I guess I´ll continue with a new quote (maybe it has been posted before, and maybe it is an easy one, but what the heck...) :
Shall mortal Man step living upon the undying lands, and yet live?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Mandos to Ulmo, considering the fate of Earendil, who went to search for his wife.

[Eärendil]

Of course it is... *smiles* Very good.
Please proceed.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

And yet, we also love the Earth and would not lose it.

[Guinevere]

The Númenóreans said this to the messengers of Manwë (in the Akallabêth)

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Sorry for the delay, but you were right of course, Guinevere! :)

[Guinevere]

:) Thank you Mariska!
What ill have I done you, lord?"

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Jease, i'd say grima if this wasnt the silmarillion.

The guys name who starts with S that Turin killed to Thingolo? :)

[Fingolfin II]

Is it Angrod?

[Guinevere]

@MorgothBauglir: No, it isn't Saeros. But it is said to Thingol!
@Fingolfin II : No, but you're getting very close... ;)

[Fingolfin II]

I know it's one of the A's......Aegnor?

[Guinevere]

No, no one with A... ;)

[Elwe Singollo]

Finrod

[Guinevere]

your turn, Elwe Singollo! :)

[Elwe Singollo]

"You have my leave but not my love".

I love this quote.

[Elwe Singollo]

Anyone???

[Fingolfin II]

Well I know it's either one of two people, but I don't want to guess them both at once, in fairness to other BD'ers, so........Curufin?

[Elwe Singollo]

Yep. Curufin said it to Eol when he went looking for Aredhel and Maeglin.

Your turn Fingolfin.

[Fingolfin II]

Ok.....how about-

lay between us

[Elwe Singollo]

Well all I can think is Aragorn but he isn't Silmarillion. But I Suppose he maight be in the Of the Rings of Power bit.

I also think that Maedhros said something similar when talking to Fingolfin.

[Fingolfin II]

Right you are, Elwe! He said it when he renounced the High Kingship of the Noldor.

[Elwe Singollo]

Trythis

But if you will not deny your doom..........

[the phantom]

Huan to Beren.

[Elwe Singollo]

the phantom has it.

[the phantom]

:)
unless it be once or twice only

[Fingolfin II]

I don't own a copy of The Silmarillion, so all my guesses are mainly educated guesses- I can't check them up. Anyway, I have a feeling that it is Gwindor to Finduilas, talking about Turin.

[the phantom]

Your feelings are accurate.

[Fingolfin II]

Cool, how about-

Let us make war swiftly

[samwise8504]

tulkas to the rest of the valar

[Fingolfin II]

Yep.

[samwise8504]

then you shall enjoy your inheritance no longer.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I think that was Hurin to Mîm.

[samwise8504]

correct

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Oops, I forgot about this thread...

the looked for that cometh at unawares, the longed for that cometh beyond hope!

[Fingolfin II]

Eonwe to Earendil?

EDIT: I have camp for a week, so if I'm right then anyone can go.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Fingolfin II was right!
But since this thread has been forgotten for some time, I'll post a new one.

but came of our own will

[luthien-elvenprincess]

"Save that we were not driven forth, but came of our own will, and against that of the Valar."
Spoken by Galadriel to Melian while living in Doriath.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Absolutely correct!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

opps, forgot about this. BUt, here is the next one:

'their time shall find'

[luthien-elvenprincess]

any takers? a clue, perhaps?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

I added more of the quote to keep this thread moving along:

These too in their time shall find that all that they do rebounds at the end

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Absolutely no takers??? This is too good a thread to let drop...big clue coming:

Chapter 1

Someone should get it now!

[Carnimírië]

Iluvatar speaking of Men.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Yes!!!

[Carnimírië]

OK
Let him have peace yet a while.

[Carnimírië]

It's said by a Vala...

[turgon]

Aule the maker " Be not hasty! We ask a greater thing than thou knowest. Let him have peace yet awhile."

[Carnimírië]

That's it!

[turgon]

Cool i finally got something right. And if i understand the rules right I'll go with--


"Now is the quest achieved"

[Carnimírië]

Beren to Thingol once he received the Silmaril. "Now is the Quest achieved, and my doom full-wrought."

[turgon]

yes!

[Carnimírië]

Thanks!
Die now and the darkness have thee!

[turgon]

" then Turambar seized the hilts and set his foot upon the belly, and cried in mockery of the dragon and his words at Nargothrond: 'Hail, Worm of Morgoth! Well met again! Die now and the darkness have thee! Thus is Turin son of Hurin avenged."

awesome scene

[Carnimírië]

I agree it's a great scene. You are right of course. Take it away.

[turgon]

"Not so much,"

[Carnimírië]

Ungoliant to Melkor when they are fleeing from the scene of the crime in Valimar.

[turgon]

yes!

[Carnimírië]

"Beware the sons of Fëanor!"

[turgon]

"But Melian said: 'Truly for these causes they came; but for others also. Beware the sons of Feanor!' The shadow of the wrath of the Valar lies upon them' "
Melian the cute to Thingol the 5 oclock shadowed.

[Carnimírië]

uh, turgon, you have to wait till your answer is confirmed to ask another question. see the quotable quotes rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=6004). anyway, your quote is Fëanor to the Noldor I believe, describing the lands around Cuiviénen in his rousing speech at Tirion.

[arcticstorm]

SInce it has been almost a year:
Behold I love the earth, which shall be a mansion for the Quendi and the Atani!

[Dimturiel]

Behold I love the earth, which shall be a mansion for the Quendi and the Atani! But the Quendi shall be the fairest of all earthly creatures, and they shall have and shall concieve and bring forth more beauty than all my Children;and they shall have the greater bliss in this world. But to the Atani I will bring a new gift. Iluvatar said this, an age after the departure of the Valar.

[arcticstorm]

correct,Dimturiel
your question

[Dimturiel]

Try this:But you live.

[Guinevere]

The wife of Dorlas to Túrin, after Brandir told him that Niniel was dead.

"Nay, lord,he is crazed. For he came here saying that you were dead, and he called it good tidings. But you live."

[Dimturiel]

Correct! The thread is yours.

[Guinevere]

Thanks!
It seems that you would deceive me;

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

"It seems that you would deceive me; unless indeed you yourself have been deceived."



Curufin, to Eol

[Guinevere]

please proceed

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

OK

Neither rock nor steel,

[Hiriel]

I think that's Beren to Thingol.

[quote]""Neither rock nor steel, nor the fires of Morgoth, nor all the powers of the
Elf-kingdoms, shall keep from me the treasure that I desire."[quote]

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The thread is all yours!

[Hiriel]

Thanks. *bows*

"for we were brought in fear and wonder by the high ways...

[Eonwe]

"Moreover we did not find the road to Gondolin, and indeed we do not know surely where this city stands; for we were brought in fear and wonder by the high ways of the air, and in mercy our eyes were veiled." Hurin to Turgon

[Hiriel]

That's it. Your thread. :)

[Eonwe]

Thanks!

"but i am his thrall no longer."

have fun. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

My fate is fulfilled, and the purpose of Morgoth achieved; but I am his thrall no longer

Hurin in the halls of Menegroth.

[Eonwe]

very good. take it away!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks.

"The peril that he ventured"

[Hiriel]

That would be Manwe judging Elwing and Earendil.

The peril that he ventured for love of the Two Kindreds shall not fall upon Earendil, nor shall it fall upon Elwing his wife, who entered in peril for love of him; but they shall not walk again ever among Elves or Men in the Outer Lands.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Good job Hiriel.

The thread is yours

[arcticstorm]
