Quotes from the Silmarillion

[Eärendil]

Okay, starting my first topic here. (I know there´s already a thread on this started, but nothing wrong with a new, is it? smilies/smile.gif) Starting with this one:
"So it is doomed."

[Lindolirian]

Well Mandos usually pronounces dooms and stuff like that so i'll guess him.

[Eärendil]

Correct! Your turn. smilies/smile.gif

[Lindolirian]

For he came here saying that you were dead, and he called it good tidings.

[Eärendil]

The wife of Dorlas (does she have a name?).

"And maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright."

[Maédhros]

Galadriel to Melian.

[Eärendil]

Yep. smilies/smile.gif
Go ahead..

[Lindolirian]

Yes Earendil, you were correct...

[Eärendil]

I know.... smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eol]

Heh Earendil, who said this? Don't look hard, the anwser is right under your nose

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

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Earendil! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eärendil]

Lol! Yeah... smilies/biggrin.gif I feel so honored. *blushes*
D*mn I wasn´t at home when you posted it (I came home from a festival not long ago), I would have been very glad to take that one! smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[ July 15, 2002: Message edited by: Eärendil ]

[Eol]

Keep your eyes open, maybe I will provide you with another opprotunity when you least expect it! heh. glad ya liked it.

its fun to make people blush... smilies/wink.gif

[ July 15, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Earendil, sorry I would have let you answered that one, but no one posted in a while, I found it near the bottom of the page, and I wanted to keep this thread going so I posted.

[Eärendil]

Hehe, don´t worry, I am not angry... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Ok good! smilies/biggrin.gif
Who's turn is it now?

[Eärendil]

Your turn. smilies/smile.gif

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

smilies/biggrin.gif

"And I will leave them in a peace unshadowed for a while."

[Orome]

Turgon?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

No, but close! I'll give you a hint that won't help at all! HE'S one of my favorite characters..(I helped a little...see?!) If you need another hint, let me know smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Orome]

Thingol?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Eh, not quite. That one's closer...
Think....um, think...younger..

[Orome]

Elrond?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Hint: Not an elf smilies/wink.gif

[Eärendil]

Er...Beren?
(just guessing, as I don´t have The Silm....) smilies/biggrin.gif

[High Duke]

Turin?

[Orome]

Imrahil?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

And the winner is....High Duke! Yes, Turin it was..but it was sorta a trick quote. It was in the book, but Turin thought it to himself. You know, the quotes where they talk to themselves and it appears as if they are talking to someone else, but no. They are talking to themselves...much like what I do! smilies/biggrin.gif

[High Duke]

OK my turn:
"You have my leave,but not my love.The sooner you depart from my land the better will it please me."

[Orome]

That Turgon i think

[ July 17, 2002: Message edited by: Orome ]

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

That, I'm guessing, would either be Thingol...ooooorrr...Theoden? No, I'll stick with Thingol. I hope..

[High Duke]

You are both wrong. smilies/tongue.gif smilies/tongue.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

"You have my leave,but not my love.The sooner you depart from my land the better will it please me."


I know this quote, why am I going blank!!!??

I'll guess again. Is it Denethor? No, Orodreth????!!!!

[Eol]

Its curufin to Eol. heh

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

AH!!!!! That's it that's it!! WHY didn't I remember!? It as when Aredhel was escaping with Maeglin and Eol went after them but ran into Curufin and his...people. Oh well!

[Eol]

I onnly caught that one because i just got done going thought the story looking for a quote and only now realize the person of my handle name was a man of few words.

[ July 18, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Yeah he didn't say much!

[High Duke]

OK.Eol's turn.

[Eol]

"I am the lord of Beleriand, "

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

It's Thingol, but I think probably Feanor or Maedhros said that. Or someone "Feanor related". I guess....maybe..

[High Duke]

Is it Thingol?

[High Duke]

Sorry Lothiriel.You posted it few minutes before me.

[Eol]

You are right about it being Thingol. He was speaking to the princes of Noldor who also wanted to piece of Thingol's pie and he would not have it.

who's next for a quote?

[ July 19, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[High Duke]

Lothriel.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Really??? Well, I kinda had a 'hidden' answer, and if you want, you can go instead of me.

[High Duke]

OK:
"A wandering elf,a thrall escaped,whom Beleg met and comforted."

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I don't know who said that....but I think they're talking about Gwindor. Maybe it wasn't spoken by anybody, or it was spoken by Turin. Either one!!

[Eol]

I think is it also Gwidor as he was the only elf I can think of who "escaped" from anything and helped Beleg. The quote also sounds of a omnipont narrative or a personal narrative (such as one's thoughts.)

[High Duke]

It's Gwidor all right.

[Eol]

Guess this one:

" and after him they named his folk Nomin,"

who is this refering to and whom gave them the name?

[Eärendil]

Well, it is referring to Felagund, they named Felagund´s folk Nómin, after the word Nóm, that means Wisdom.
But what do you mean by "whom gave them the name" ?

[Eol]

I have this terrible habit of mistyping my thoughts. I had not mention "them" I meant "him".

yeah, got it right.

[Eärendil]

"Ye mighty of Arda, the Vision of Ilúvatar was brief and soon taken away"

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I thought that quote was narrated. Hm, oh well. Is it Manwe? Or Melkor?

[Eärendil]

Narrated? I don´t think so.....
Nope, it´s not Manwë, nor Melkor.

[Arie]

...ummm ::thinks:;

[Ravenna]

Was it Varda? or Mandos?

[Ravenna]

No wrong! it was Yavanna, I knew I'd find it eventually.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I KNEW it was one of the Valar!

[Eärendil]

Yep Ravenna, Yavanna is correct. Your turn. smilies/smile.gif

[Ravenna]

OK try this one.

'Why hast thou done this? Why dost thou attempt a thing which thou knowest is beyond thy power and thy authority?

[Eärendil]

Hm...Ilúvatar to Aulë?

[Ravenna]

Yes, Earendil; it was Iluvatar to Aule when he made the dwarves... Your turn.

[Eärendil]

"There everlastingly thy naked self shall endure the torment of his scorn"

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Turin? Was that said by Turin when him and Saedros had that fight and then Turin chased him naked? Oh wait. Maybe it was one of Turin's companions. Hafta look...nope it's not. Oh what the hell, I'll just say Morgoth. I'm gonna get it wrong anyway.

[Galorme]

This is the first time i have wondered out of the Books, so i dont know what to do, but the answer Luthien and Huan to Sauron on the Isle of Werewolfs, and the Scorn was to come from Melkor. Sorry if i wasn't supposed to answer that.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Don't be sorry, everyone has a chance to answer. And I'm the one usually wrong. The quotes sounds so familiar, but I don't like looking in my book for the answers, and I haven't read the Sil for a couple of months. Ok, I looked in the book just that once before. smilies/rolleyes.gif But welcome to the quiz room, Galorme!! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eol]

I find no shame in look in the books, I do it myself quite often to double check my anwsers. Unless here you are not suppose to look.... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Galorme]

Do i get a go now? How about:

"Do they run like deer clad only in their hair?"

Can i be nasty and say who said it, who did they say it too, and who are they talking about. Can i do that?

[Eol]

I seems that the quote is from the story of Turin?

is it refering to the green elves that walk the forests?

I know I just read this two weeks ago and it is driving me nuts!

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Eol, no, looking in the books is fine! I just don't do it. That's just me though.

Hm. I think it was said by Saeros to Turin when Turin came to Menegroth all unclean and...stuff. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Morgoth Bauglir]

awww u beat me to it!

[Galorme]

Yep it was indeed Saeros, and he was refering (well hinting) about Túrin's mother. Does someone else do one now?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

i dont think he was reffering to anyone, just trying to tick him off and make fun of his household in general.

[ August 06, 2002: Message edited by: Morgoth Bauglir ]

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Yeah. And what a coincidence, look what Nienor did. I like Turin though, stupid Saeros. Well, ok death wasn't exactly the answer, but Turin didn't mean it..
Oh, so it's IS Saeros! Yess, finally I get a right guess!
I'll have to think of one for a little, I'm sorry! I won't be long.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

"Journey light: but bring with you your swords!"

[Galorme]

That has to be Feanor. No-one else would place Swords at No.1.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

WHAT!!!!??? COME ON!!! I was hoping there would be a little trouble with this one! Just ONE reply. Not even 2!!!!
Sorry Galorme. You know your right anyway! Go ahead.

[Galorme]

Sorry i had The Hobbit, the LoTRs and the Sil read to me on a 1 and a half year cycle from about the age of 5, i know most of it off by heart. Hmm. I could be really mean and give you a piece of narrative and expect you to say Aelfwine, but then we would get into a big debate on who REALLY wrote the sil. So i will settle for this:

"How shall our voices reach Ilúvatar beyond the circles of the world?"

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Some Elven people?? The Noldor. I don't know, I'm just guessing. Like I always do smilies/biggrin.gif

[Morgoth Bauglir]

meadhros to maglor, after the war of wrath, concerning the awakening of the oath and stealing the silmarils.

[Galorme]

You are both correct, but i feel that Morgoth has my favour slightly.

[Galorme]

Is someone going to post another Quote?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

It's supposed to be Morgoth's turn.

[High Duke]

Hi people,I 'm back and I have some catching up to do,I see you were diligent.Come on Morgoth,where are you? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Morgoth Bauglir]

umm ok i didnt have the book handy soo....

who said this:

Turin turambar turun ambartanen

the other part (well, translation) is: master of doom by doom mastered.

this is sooooo easy

[Eol]

Dude you are very correct.

Nienor/Niniel said this after the dragon died and she understand the true that her husband was her brother. Ack!

[ August 11, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[Morgoth Bauglir]

righto, your turn

[Eol]

"Thou hast spoken."

Hope this is not too vague, I cannot give too many clues else the speaker would be given away.

[Galorme]

That sounds suspiciously like Manwe to Feanor, when he refuses the Silmirils. Or or or. Actually it sounds more like Mandos. Arg i probabily look kinda stupid now. I would check the Sil, but that would mean going downstairs...

[Morgoth Bauglir]

i think its mandos to feanor when feanor says no to yavanna.

[Eol]

Well it is not the noldor or elf, but speak of one. smilies/tongue.gif

Well morgoth, your da man! i thought that might be a little hard, but apparently it was not.

your turn!

[ August 13, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[Morgoth Bauglir]

hmm lemme think...

lol this is all i could think of, its easy too

"not the first"

[Eol]

Mandos spoke to Feanor, imply the death of is father Finwe.

[Galorme]

Aw how come Morgoth gets that one? (i supose i would be disqualified for taking two guesses tho)

[Eol]

Gal, you have the next turn!

Plus, I did not see your post for some odd reason... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[ August 13, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[Galorme]

Nah dont worry I know you lot all club together against me...

Hmm a quote. I cant think of one off the top of my head (its the wee hours o' the morning over here and i am a little the worse for wine). ::scuttles off to get book::
In answer to your vague questions i will say:

"See now!"

Hmm actually that is too evil. They also said (in the same speach")

"This is a great matter"

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Eol is correct.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I'm confused as to which person should go, but to Galorme's quote, "See now!" the answer would be Feanor. I'm pretty sure. When he talks to Fingolfin. "See now, this is sharper than thy toungue....." Is that right? Hm..doesn't look like it'd fit. But for once I'm going to stick to my answer even if it may be wrong!!

[Morgoth Bauglir]

isnt it something like:

See now! if thou try once more to usurp the position of love from my father.....blah blah blah or something like that.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

It's something like that. See now, this is sharper than thy toungue, try but once more to usurp the love of my father...or the other way around, like you said. Um, forget though!

[Eol]

Here is the quote:

"See, half brother! This is sharper than thy tongue. Try but once more to usurp my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will rid the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of thralls." p70

Feanor to Fingolfin


That help?

[ August 16, 2002: Message edited by: Eol ]

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I just saw that quote at the top of the page, and it's not that smilies/frown.gif It says See half brother..... smilies/frown.gif smilies/frown.gif I was so close though! Ok, I will guess again then! Ok nevermind. I'll have to think about it more.

[Eol]

To make you feel better, I have not the vaguest what the anwser to the quote. My guess is something with Thingol. Close?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Eol, that DOES make me feel better! smilies/wink.gif
Ok, guessing AGAIN. I'm going with.....Maedhros.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

how bout eol makes a quote since he was actually supposed to go a long time ago smilies/smile.gif

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Ok, Eol, your turn.

[Eol]

Thank you for the turn, you are far too kind!

What was the scene and who said this
" We have many more such at home,"

[Eol]

Here is a clue, who said this followed the words with a VERY terrible deed!

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Feanor?

[Eol]

nope, try again

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

The dwarves from Belegost who killed Thingol?

[Eol]

A littler earlier then that. try again

[Davin]

I believe it was The Heralds of Angband....I just read that part last night. That was said right before Gelmir son of Guilin was killed.

Then the heralds of Angband showed him forth, crying: 'We have many more such at home, but you must make haste if you would find them; for we shall deal with them all when we return even so.' And they hewed off Gelmir's hands and feet, and his head last, within sight of the Elves, and left him.

[ August 28, 2002: Message edited by: Davin ]

[Eol]

Ding! I got this quote because I was completeing the chapter for silmarillion notes. three more chapters until I am done!


Your turn!

[Davin]

Wahoo! Ok, here goes!

Who said: "Into Doriath none shall come to abide but only as I call as guests, or who seek me in great need." ??

[Eol]

Melian? if not then it has to be Thingol

[Davin]

Bingo! Your turn.

[Davin]

Oh yeh...It was Thingol who said that.

[Eol]

"treacherous to foes, friendless to friends."

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Glaurung to Turin?

[Eol]

Correct,your turn!

[Morgoth Bauglir]

" for from me and you a new star shall arise"

its either that or "for from me and from you a new star shall arise"

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Was it Tuor to Idril? Or Idril to Tuor?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

nay, but close

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Melian to Thingol?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Nope, you had one name right on the first guess smilies/smile.gif

Well, it was partly right, i cant give it to you though. Clue: Tuor marries the daughter of __.

That probably made it too easy, hehe.

[Eol]

Dude that was a dead give away.... smilies/biggrin.gif I will not anwser that one. I will let someone else get. I have not an idea for a quote anyways.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Woohoo! Thanks Eol for passing it on smilies/biggrin.gif Ok, it's Turgon to Tuor. Or Tuor to Turgon..

[Morgoth Bauglir]

lol i will give it to you, tuor to turgon. Eol i just had to sorry, lol.

[Eol]

I have no problem with clues, I have done my share of give aways. carry on!

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

smilies/biggrin.gif

If you will remove and dwell further north, there you shall have the friendship and protection of the Eldar, and free lands of your own.

[Eärendil]

Erm..Finrod to Haleth? I only know it´s to Haleth...

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

It's to Haleth, you got that part right! It's not said by Finrod though (even though he's one of my favorites smilies/biggrin.gif )

[Eärendil]

Yeah, remembered that not long after posting it.... It´s Caranthir to Haleth if my memory isn´t fooling me.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Yup, your turn!

[Eärendil]

Thus shall you speak for me to those who sent you.
I think it went like that.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I know it's probably wrong, but I'm just going to say Manwe.

[High Duke]

Is it Feanor?

[ September 03, 2002: Message edited by: High Duke ]

[Eärendil]

Nope, both of you are wrong.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Eonwe?

[Eärendil]

Nope.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Is it Turin or Thingol?

[Eärendil]

Which one do you take? Only one guess you know.... smilies/wink.gif

[Eol]

I would say it is Thingol.

[Eärendil]

You got it right! smilies/smile.gif Your turn.

[Eol]

Whoa...that was a wild fling in the air.

"to take what is mine; for I am the last of my people."

[Galorme]

Is it Hurin to the petty dwarf? Or the other way round? Actually thats pretty ironic. They are both the last of their line, both old and broken. It could be either. Or neither and i am totally wrong.

[Eol]

Ya right, it's Mim talking to Hurin when the man finds him after Morgoth releases Hurin to "wander" freely.

Your turn.

[Eärendil]

Galorme, no quote?
Oh well, it´s been a week now, so I´ll post a new quote:
"As I promised, I do now. I release thee, and remember no grievance."

[Amarie]

Fingolfin said that to feanor. If I'm wrong just skip my quote, but I didnt want to leave anyone hanging.. smilies/biggrin.gif


"On Ivrin's lake is endless laughter.She is fed from crystal fountains unfailing,and guarded from defilement by Ulmo, Lord of Waters, who wrought her beauty in ancient days.

[Galorme]

That was said to Turin when he needed healing after stabbing his best friend mercilessly and taking the life of an innocent elf with his own sword once he has spent months tracking him just to save him from certain death and thralldome at the hands of the evil beeing who cursed him and held his father yet he still killed him he was a good elf better than turin will ever be he did not deserve to die the world is worse off without him i think turin deserved everything that happened to him lousy stupid man beast he suffered and it made me very happy i laughed at his death and would have dug up his bones and laughed at them too if it wasn't just a story die turin die turin suffer pain.

Erm sorry. Gwindor said it no?

[Tirned Tinnu]

*Screws up her brows* No, irm, wasn't it Mim? The dwarf, who said it to Turin? *sits down again and looks VERY puzzled.*

[ September 14, 2002: Message edited by: Tirned Tinnu ]

[Tirned Tinnu]

AIUAIAIAAIAI! I'm so wrong. Yup, took me two minutes of strangling my brain cells, but that's Feanor and Fingolfin, yupyupyup...the start of the problems with the Silmarils, yupyupyup.

[Galorme]

Erm sorry i just read up and realised that i forgot to post a quote and it killed the forum for a WEEK! Sorry sorry sorry i humble myself before the forum and beg its forgiveness. Anyway i dont know if i got the last one wrong, but so to avoid the same problem again i will give a quote anyway

"Show it too me!"

P.S sorry for my turin rambling. I just hate that stupid aragont moaning goodfornothing fatherless screwed up...

[Amarie]

Your answer was correct...I think your quote is Thingol to Beren about the Silmaril.?

[Galorme]

You are correct, the greyman[tle] himself said it.

[Amarie]

"...a shadow lies over all the land of Aman, and reaches far out over the sea."

maybe that one will not be too easy.

[High Duke]

Tulkas?
But we are the champions of the world.
If you think thet I am mad am not am just from Yugoslavia, I am Serb.And i am proud of it smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif
Just you practice America.Basketball champions... smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Amarie]

Not Tulkas

[Morgoth Bauglir]

manwe?

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Melian to Galadriel.

[Amarie]

Bruce MacCulloch, Correct.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Here's a nice short one: Say on!

[Galorme]

lol that sounds hard. Melian to Galadriel again? Hmm probabily not. Maybe the Valar to Feanor during his trial. Ack why do i post if i dont know the answer?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

tulkas?

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Nope, not the laughing, burly dude.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Turin?

this is impossible lol

[merlilot]

that one's impossible!!!

can we get a hint, please????

[Joy]

It reminds me of Mandos when Fëanor was before him in judgement.

[Telchar]

That could be Sauron to Gorlim ?

[Legolas]

Sauron to Gorlim works.

Turin to Mablung.

Elrond says "But say on!" to Gandalf at the Council, too.

Short ones should be choosed carefully, since they repeat. smilies/wink.gif

[Telchar]

Yes you're right - but only mine is an acceptable answer... as this is SILM Quotes... Turin spoke in UT and Elrond in FOTR smilies/biggrin.gif anyway...

Who said:
...we can master the Enemy, if we gather our strength and tarry not too long.
And to who?

[Legolas]

Gandalf to Elrond

[Telchar]

yes indeed smilies/smile.gif proceed

[Legolas]

The will of Eru may not be gainsaid; and the Valar bid you earnestly not to withhold the trust to which you are called, lest soon it become again a bond by which you are constrained. Hope rather that in the end even the least of your desires shall have fruit.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

erhm....the heralds of manwe in response to the numenoreans desiring to go to the undying lands and there recieve immortality.

[Legolas]

Yep!

[Eärendil]

Morgoth? Post a quote, I want to guess! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif

[High Duke]

Come on man!Where are you? smilies/cool.gif

[Eärendil]

Oh well, gone a week since confirmation. So here I go with a new one:
And out of it the world was made.

[Legolas]

Sauront to Ar-Pharazôn

[Eärendil]

That´s right Legalos, quote away!

[Legolas]

For this he was born into the world.

[Eärendil]

Gee Legalos, I have searched for ages to find that quote. It´s a d*mn hard one! Can you please give us a hint...? *blink blink* smilies/wink.gif

[Legolas]

Universal solvent *blink blink* smilies/wink.gif

[ October 24, 2002: Message edited by: Legalos ]

[Morgoth Bauglir]

osse or ulmo.......probably ulmo.

also, i think this is narrative not an actual quote. not sure though.

[Legolas]

You're awfully close. It is a direct quote.

Tell me who, to who, about who.

[Telchar]

Thanks for the hint smilies/wink.gif
Its Ulmo to Mandos about Eärendil and his fate

[Legolas]

Correct, Telchar.

[Telchar]

Who said...
In this you shall obey me, or I will set you in bonds.
To whom ?

[Legolas]

Eöl to Maeglin, on the matter of Maeglin's wishes to seek out Turgon's city of Gondolin and speak with the sons of Fëanor.

[ October 31, 2002: Message edited by: Legalos ]

[Telchar]

Yep

[Legolas]

Go now! For my heart is hot within me. Later you may return, if you will; for I will not shut my doors for ever against you, my kindred, that were ensnared in an evil that you did not aid.

[ November 04, 2002: Message edited by: Legalos ]

[Telchar]

Thingol to Angrod

[Legolas]

Yep

[Telchar]

Go now, lord, while time is!

[Legolas]

Húrin to Turgon.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

or tuor to turgon

[Telchar]

Hurin it is - good Lego

[Legolas]

For the hour is evil, and your road leads to sorrow that ye do not foresee.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

mandos

[Legolas]

Nope.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

ulmo?

or was it the guy on the rock who they thought was mandos, thats what i meant earlier.

[ November 13, 2002: Message edited by: Morgoth Bauglir ]

[Legolas]

No, it wasn't a Valar, or anyone mistaken to be one.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

tuor to turgon?

[Legolas]

No, you were actually closer before.

[Legolas]

Anybody with a guess?

[Eärendil]

Not a single idea. But with a hint..... smilies/wink.gif

[Legolas]

You've been given a hint. Morgoth was close when he said one of the Valar. It's not one of them, but close.

[Joy]

It was the Herald of Manwë, Eonwë who stated this to Fëanor in the Chapter Of The Flight of the Noldor.

But even as the trumpet sang and Fëanor issued from the gates of Tirion a messenger came at last from Manwë, saying: 'Against the folly of Fëanor shall be set my counsel only. Go not forth! For the hour is evil, and your road leads to sorrow that ye do not foresee. No aid will the Valar lend you in this quest; but neither will they hinder you; for this ye shall know: as ye came hither freely, freely shall ye depart

[Morgoth Bauglir]

it was manwe though

[Legolas]

Joy is right, though it wasn't Eonwe. If it was, I'm sure it would've said so. Manwe had many messengers, I'd imagine.

[Joy]

Thanks Legolas, wasn't too sure about the Eonwë part.


Almost. I am spent. I shall go with the sun. Now little time is left: if you know, tell me! How did she find him?

[Lindolirian]

Morwen to Hurin at the stone marking the body of Turin.

[Joy]

Correct! Your go.

[Lindolirian]

You can give no aid.

[Joy]

That was Mîm to Túrin Túrambar.

Then Mîm looked up at him, and said: 'You can give no aid. For this is Khîm, my son; and he is dead, pierced by an arrow. He died at sunset. Ibun my son has told me.'

[Lindolirian]

Correct!

[Joy]

This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from your and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!

Probably very easy.

[Lindolirian]

Huor.

[Joy]

You are correct Lindolirian!

[Lindolirian]

Then your words bode ill, for they can bear but one meaning.

[Eärendil]

Once again I have to swallow my pride ( smilies/wink.gif) and ask: hints please..? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lindolirian]

Hmmm.... you made me wait too long and now I forget what the answer was actually. I shall look for it and if I find it, I will give you a hint, or if someone answeres correctly and it sparks my memory I will obviously confirm it. Hehe... sorry.

[Beren87]

It twas Turgon to Thorondor.

[Lindolirian]

Ah, yes it was. Thank you Beren. See you did spark my memory.

[Beren87]

Here's one for ye:
'Enter into Bar-en-Danwedh, the House of Ransom; for so it shall be called.'

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

That would be Mim to Turin. I'll wait for your verification Beren before starting a new quote.

[ December 11, 2002: Message edited by: Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood ]

[Beren87]

Correct of course my dear.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Okay, here's the next one:

"You have my leave, but not my love,"

[Beren87]

Twas Curufin to Eol.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

That would indeed be correct! You are quite fast at it my I add. Your turn.

[Beren87]

*bows* Thank you, Thank you

A wandering elf, a thrall escaped

[Lindolirian]

Well, I'm pretty sure it's describing Gwindor, but was it he who said it?

[Beren87]

That would be correct.

[Beren87]

Your turn Lindolirian. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

*cough* yet again your turn...I know your on, dont try and hide.

[Lindolirian]

Whoops, I forgot about the thread. Just kick me or somethin next time... if that's possible.

I have to returned to take what is mine, for I am the last of my people.

Not too sure, if I got the words perfect, I just got it off the top of my head.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Mîm to Húrin in Nargothrond.

[Lindolirian]

Yes, O great Bruce!

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Choose from all that I have ...

[Lindolirian]

Thingol to ...Beleg?

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Very nice, Lindolirian.
The floor is yours.

[Lindolirian]

Yet I hear you say that bonds such as these do not daunt you.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Thingol to Beren.

[Lindolirian]

Of course.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

True, alas, is our guess.

[Beren87]

Mithrandir to Elrond.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Yep!
