Malbeth the Seer was an ancient prophet of Middle-earth, serving Arvedui, the last King of Arthedain. It was Malbeth that predicted Aragorn's need to travel the Paths of the Dead.

NOW, using the power of imagination, YOU can see Malbeth's advice to you.

Apparently if I go to the plains I'll find some muzik to follow. Damn, the nearest plains are the next province over, oh say, 800 km away, maybe more. For those who don't operate in metric that's 500 m.

An army of Númenoreans marches on Imladris intent on destruction. Your only hope is to find a big knife.

Er... okay. Does anybody have a big knife? We can't let them nasty Númenoreans destruct Rivendell!! smilies/wink.gif

[Aosama, the Wandering Star]

And the disclaimer always makes me laugh smilies/smile.gif

[GreatWarg]

Eeeeps! no, not Imladris! Anything but that! Oh Elbereth, save us from the terror of the Numenoreans! BAD NUMENOREANS!

[Lindolirian]

Many blade-armed Harfoots are just beyond the lake. Pile your carpets high to barricade your doors. But first bring your gulls in or they'll be eaten.*
- Malbeth the Seer -


Hmm, i knew i shoulda call the carpet guys... dang, i liked those gulls to. smilies/biggrin.gif

[The Silver-shod Muse]

It befits a Ghost to be one-armed and unappreciated
Until the day of his death.

Ahhh, it's all starting to make sense now!

[ElanorGamgee]

To love a Orc whose ways are false
Is like abducting over slippery ice
With unshod horses out of control,
Badly ruined two-year-olds,
Or drifting rudderless on a rough forest,
Or catching a crow with a crippled tooth
On a thawing hillside: think not to do it.

Oh no! I really loved that Orc, too. His claws were so sharp, and his eyes were so bloodshot, and his teeth were so yellow...it's not fair! I guess I'll have to call off the engagement now...

Are new people alowed to prophesies?

New person's prophesie:

The Orc will be brought back to life as the shrivelled root doth grow in November (so no need to worry smilies/biggrin.gif )

The howling of gulls in the forests forebodes bad times ahead.

Considering the day I've been having, this one seems eerily appropriate. smilies/frown.gif

[Bramblerose Gamgee-Took]

Malbeth-Outside I sat by myself when you came,
Terror of the Trolls, and gazed in my eyes.
What do you ask of me? Why tempt me?
I know where your eye is concealed,
Hidden away in the well of Lothlorien.
Your sneakiness no words of mine can change.

~Hmm, ok, fair enough smilies/biggrin.gif

[Galadrie1]

lol, some of those are sooooooo funny. mine for today is:

If you seek to write poetry, do not listen to the Dwarves nor to the minstrels of Rohan. All the inspiration you need you will find in the driving snow and the snake as it walks.*
- Malbeth the Seer -

ok, i'm off north to find some driving snow!

[Neferchoirwen]

Here's mine for today:

Beware of one-armed Rohirrim! If you displease them, they will hunt you in the mesas and across the oceans; to the ends of the world they will pursue you. Even though you have the friendship of Manwë, the Rohirrim will not relent until they have you.*


I don't know excatly what they are, but I sure sound like I'm in real danger. What could they want from me?

[Daniel Telcontar]

They want you for their soup, of course. Yes, the Rohirrim are rather barbaric, but when a man is hungry, he is hungry. And then he will not settle for anything less then the best of the best. Enjoy your meal.

Hey, mine actually makes sense! Go October!

[The Necromancer]

Here's what Malbeth saw for me!!!!
The signs portend that great fame lies in thy future! All the Peoples of Middle-earth shall name thee “The deceitful one”, and they shall sing songs in commemoration of the time thou praised the fierce gull of the White Mountains with thy blade.
I often praise fierce gulls, yeah, all the time!!!!! smilies/eek.gif

Dread portents loom over you like thunderheads, O childish one! The banners of the Harfoots are unfurled in your fields; their Armies are arrayed against you. The field mice hunt you in the crevasses; they are close on your heels. Do you not perceive the trouble that besets you? Why do you squander time by lounging on the coatrack while Doom draws nigh?*

I don't like the thought of Nazgul in my front yard right now........

Drunk I got, dead drunk,
When the rotting Ent was with me:
Best is the banquet one looks back on after,
And remembers all that happened.
- Malbeth the Seer -


Hhhhmmmm... I don't drink, so I don't know what that would be... But if I have any rotting Ents in company, I should stay away from all kind of drinks, I guess...
HHhhhmmm... Am I going to a banquet soon? Coolish!

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Best is the banquet one looks back on after,
And remembers all that happened.

I disagree. Some parties are best obliterated by alcoholic amnesia. smilies/wink.gif

Mine for today is:
Congratulations! A strange dweomer is wound about you, and no Beorning of woman born may ever do you harm. But be wary if you meet a warrior armed with a scimitar of Westernesse whose hood is purple, for all may not be as it seems!

Wise words there.

Seek not in the Helcaraxe for true love. Look instead to the hidden places of the marshes.*

Ahhh, I see. Wise words Malbeth, wise words.

[Amanaduial the archer]

whats a helcaraxe? just wonderin...

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

It's the Grinding Ice, when Feanor led the group of elves to Middle earth (him and some others took the ships),and the rest had to go north and cross the Helcaraxe. Here's the definition of it in The Encyclopedia of Arda:

The perilous icy wastes that formerly lay between Aman and Middle-earth in the north of the world. Fingolfin and his people made their way into Middle-earth across the treacherous wastes of the Helcaraxë at the beginning of the First Age.

Seek for the mace that was broken. Look for the mace that was lost. Search for the Elf that has spoken, and ask what a new one will cost.

Hmm...

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

I think all that predicting must have been getting to Malbeth by the time he came up with this one. Either that or the translator was having a very bad day.

When the oily blackthe White Mountainsweep, the Bree-landers will damage the cats in their , and the dagger shall come to their embracing when the rivers run dry in turn. Take that, Nostradamus!

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

I couldn't keep this gem to myself:
Over the barrow there a wiry shadow, to Mirkwood reaching wings of darkness. As for those wings, push them down a barrow, and you’ll be safe; they can’t fly.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Ha! I was wondering if the walrus one ever came up. Good to know it came to you, Loth! Malbeth is so right on!

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

In the Misty Mountains, a wizened Gondorian weeps while he waits for the Day of Doom. Seek him there, even though it be a journey of many days, for he holds the key to thy destiny. You will know him by his bushy hair, the axe he carries, and his battle-scarred throat. Who can say what dread secrets he may reveal to you? But if you dare to learn his wisdom, be sure to ride upon an unshod eagle to the hill where he dwells, or he will merely mistrust you and you will not profit.

So essentially I'm going to meet the lumberjack version of Rod Stewart? I'm going to avoid those mountains like the plague.

[VanimaEdhel]

Take a wagon ride to Rhovanion. You find a contemptible Bree-lander waiting there for you. Give him your axe and 13 silver pennies.*
- Malbeth the Seer -

Is that a fortune or a command? And do you guys have a spare axe? I'm considering following Malbeth's advice, but I don't have an axe...of course, I'd like to know what would happen if I did what Malbeth told me to do...

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Is that a fortune or a command?

It's a command, VanimaEdhel; and since it comes from the great Malbeth, you must needs obey it. smilies/wink.gif

And do you guys have a spare axe?

You can use mine. It dates back to the English Civil War: Three new heads and five new handles and it's still going strong.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

After the wildest beauty in the world,
Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hare,
But mocks the steady running of the hour"

In Dol Guldur, a greedy Ent duels while he waits for the Day of Doom. Seek him there, even though it be a journey of many days, for he holds the key to thy destiny. You will know him by his straight hair, the blade he carries, and his battle-scarred hair. Who can say what dread secrets he may reveal to you? But if you dare to learn his wisdom, be sure to ride upon an energetic chicken to the butte where he dwells, or he will merely smell you and you will not profit.

Uncanny!This Malbeth guy is uncanilly amazing! It's uncanny how one can make such a uncanilly correct predicition.... I have no idea why I'm using the word 'uncanny' repeatedly but I have a vague idea that it has something to do with sleep deprivation and a mental block. Again, uncanny.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Seek him here, seek him there, seek the Huorn everywhere. Is he in Mount Gundabad or in the dingles? That dem'd elusive Frodo

He is indeed.

[dragoneyes]

If you hit the fountain of a rather hopeless Ent with your knife, you will be fined a few silver pennies. You should embrace a unarmed elk instead. It will be cheaper.

What I want to know is why I would want to hit a fountain in the first place.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

As the fabled Codex Malbethi states: "If thy fountain offend thee, smite it most mightily."

Speaking of fountain abuse, mine for today is

Leave your whip at the door when you visit a friend. You don't want to scratch their fountains.

Try not to abandon the first Half-elf you see. Have patience, and the Half-elf will abandon itself.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Hearken unto the wisdom of the Seer:
Consider the Troll who neither jumps nor does he jump. In the same way, you might expect the oliphaunt to jump.
Words to live by, to be sure.

Reviving old threads.
You will find true love with a suspicious Stoor even through fire and tumult that destroys the ravines, your love will endure. Seek for your beloved in Gondor!
I'm sure I will. Um, why are Stoors in Gondor?

[VanimaEdhel]

Help comes from Erebor when donkeys endure the raging storm.*
- Malbeth the Seer -

Not the Dwarves...I'd never get along with Dwarves. I'd rather die with donkeys in a raging storm...

If you're born next month, you have for today (as April comes in only a few days):

An unblemished Orc walks the corridors of your dreams. To purge the Orc from your thoughts, seek the comfort of the Misty Mountains.

I still think that pointy objects would get the job done just as well...

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

To love a Hobbit whose ways are false
Is like fighting over slippery ice
With unshod horses out of control,
Badly cleaned two-year-olds,
Or drifting rudderless on a rough ditch,
Or catching a wolf with a crippled stomach
On a thawing hillside: think not to do it.
- Malbeth the Seer
So, the meaning there is that I shouldn't fall in love with a Hobbit? Hmm... not that I was planning to anyway smilies/tongue.gif smilies/wink.gif

The young Ranger is a fine match for love - unless you're not a Ranger.*

hmmm...the first part sounds good....I'm gonna have to become a Ranger now though, darn!

Give some Eorlings several crows in the morning. They will know what you mean
Um... arent the Eorlings the Rohirrim? And arent they all dead now? Oh well, its evening, I have failed anyway!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Once again, Malbeth gives ...interesting advice: A difficult choice lies before you! Do not be seduced by the words of an immaculate Númenorean, though they may seem good. Hearken instead to the secret whispers of the camel, and your path will be revealed!* Now, if I only knew where to find a talking camel!

[Finwe]

Oh dear, this quote that I got can be so horribly misconstrued.

The forces of Gondolin have been possessing helpless Halflings for the last fortnight. Perhaps you are next on their list.

Bad news for those born in February! Our true nature has been discovered and we need to evacuate the premises! Though destroying Giants may be popular in Dol Amroth, but its not acceptable here.

Alas, the Art of interpreting Malbeth's sometimes vague or puzzling scryings has few skilled practitioners these days.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Heres for good ol' February smilies/biggrin.gif

Look for Easterlings in the barrows. They are searching for a great dagger which was lost long ago.
- Malbeth the Seer -


All I have to do is find some Easterlings looking for a dagger? Hey any Easterlings out there who are looking for a long lost dagger?

"Right now, Dwarves are in your front yard annihilating your grandmother's antique wardrobes. Perhaps you should call the Shirriffs."

It's funny because it's true.

Straight from the mouth of wise Malbeth: Tom Bombadil is a Bree-lander.

Alas, the Bombadil riddle has been solved. Who would dare to argue now?

[Naurwen_of_Lothlorien]

Tom Bombadil is a Bree-lander.

Hahaha! Well, of all the theories! I never thought for a second that he might be a bree-lander, but now I think of it, it does explain a lot. All that singing, he must have had one too many!!

[the guy who be short]

Only through the tumbling falls will you reach Orthanc.
Orthanc still stands after all these millenia? I'm going as soon as possible! Now, where's the nearest waterfall?

You may think that you are the lord of your hall, but it is known to all that your evil cow holds the true power in your household. Be prepared! When the ice thaws, the time will be ripe for you to choke the usurper and regain control!
You September-borns choke that evil, tricksy, nasssty little cow.

I am the Elf. I am the Elf. I am the Walrus. Koo koo kachoo!
I get the feeling Malbeth is messing around with you May-borns. You're probably all a bunch of non-believers!

Deliver the marshes to the Gondorians and there will be peace.*

Today's for December borns. I am confuzzled.. The Gondorians can have the marshes. *hands marshes over* :P

Hearken, Fool! There is no wisdom in the betraying of geese. If you persist in following this path, you are likely to have your arms ripped asunder and your helmet cloven by angry Huorns!

Argh! Okay, okay, I won't betray the geese. They started it though...

Few wealthy Orcs remain to trouble your people. You may now safely wander to Umbar

Orcs? Wealthy? Hmm... *imagines orc in tuxedo* Can't imagine it. Oh well, at least I have safe passage to the Pirate scum of Umbar now, if I ever feel like commiting suicide.

Lonely are the Half-elves of Ithilien. 'Tis best if they are killed.

If you seek to write poetry, do not listen to the Balrogs nor to the minstrels of the Misty Mountains. All the inspiration you need you will find in the shining sun and the eagle as it weeps.*

Dark is the road from the White Mountains. Do not have a Gondorian to show you the way, for the Gondorian may possess you.

Oooh, I'm quaking in my boots! Actually, pointe shoes (I'm trying to break them in right now). I'm a little confuzzled by this one...:confused: Why would I want to go away from the White Mountians if there is a chance I might get possessed? *sits down where she is and falls asleep*:cool:

Many hammer-armed Rangers are just beyond the prairie. Pile your rugs high to barricade your doors. But first bring your turtles in or they'll be eaten.*

If the horse shies away from the Wainrider, does it surprise you?


Actually, it kinda does...

[Evisse the Blue]

Malbeth the Seer is strangely melancholic today and foresees heartache for the January born girls:
Many a Easterling when one gets to know
Proves to be short and false:
That treacherous creature taught me a lesson,
The unforgiving one covered me with shame;
That was all I got from him.
Hmm, now replace Easterling with Eastern Europeans and you may just have a point there...

[The Perky Ent]

Maybe I'm not paying Malbeth enough, but he's comming out with some strange stuff: One Elf at hand in the crevasses is worth more than a thousand Harfoots far away in the White Mountains.

Ain't that the truth! You know them Harfoots ;)

[tar-ancalime]

If you find yourself at sunrise lying in a cow parked outside a strange citadel, ask the Elf who lives there for directions to the White Mountains. He'll know the way.

Boy, if I had a nickel for every time I found myself lying in a cow!

[Elennar Starfire]

Shagrat and Dernhelm sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Blessed are the wolves, for they shall surely inherit the canyons of Celeborn when he croaks in seven days.

Celeborn has canyons? Celeborn CROAKS?!?!?! Bless the WOLVES? I'm confuzzled...

Obviously, Celeborn is soon to be turned into a frog.

[The Perky Ent]

There's a Easterling who knows, all that glitters is grey, and she's riding a sled to the sea. When she gets there she knows, if the Halflings are all devoured, with a word she can get what she came for.

Woah! That's one determined Easterling!

[Evisse the Blue]

Orlando Bloom may be nice, but you can only count on the love of the lamenting Variag. He may not be outgoing, but you have to admire his foolish deceptiveness in liking you.
I never liked Orlando Bloom anyway. Variags on the other hand...What are Variags anyway?? An cross between Wargs and Valar? :eek: :p

[The Perky Ent]

A cross between Wargs and Valar :eek: What a world we live in! A Maia is never late. He walks exactly when he means to - around dawn I guess that makes sense, but what about maia that fly?

[High King Fingolfin]

A difficult choice lies before you! Do not be seduced by the words of an unappreciated Man, though they may seem good. Hearken instead to the secret whispers of the bull, and your path will be revealed!

Huh? I don't know any bulls.

BTW Evisse, a Variag is a Man from Khand.

[The Perky Ent]

Oh, is it now? That's ok. Always stop an ent from riding a warg


What? Is this some law? We can't ride Wargs now? How dare you!

BTW Evisse, a Variag is a Man from Khand.
Thanks! I really had no idea. :o :)

Check this out: Seek for the carpet that was respected, in the Blue Mountains it dwells, there shall be bees respected stronger than Morgul spells. blackcheeks are the latest thing in the Blue Mountains. Any modern Wainrider like you shall do likewise!

Today's Prophecy for September-born
7 September, 2004

An army of Gondorians marches on Dunland intent on destruction. Your only hope is to find a big slingshot.
- Malbeth the Seer -

I know the answer to this riddle. The army of Gondorians is the Ants that live in the kitchen of old, or so 'tis said in the lore of the drunken Númenóreans. It was camped seven leagues north-west of Tharbad, when the army of the Dunlending cursed them. Then David showed up and killed Goliath. The End.


If troubled by lovely spiders, seek an old Nъmenorean for advice on how to hang them.*
If they were lovely, one wouldn't be untroubled by them. (Evissë)
They were lovely, but they were fell, and ever hungry. They it was who consumed the Black Forest (cake) of old. I think.

You're getting too old for this analysis of prophecies business, don'tcha think?

[Evisse the Blue]

May I bring to your attention the wise advice that Malbeth the Seer gives January borns at the beginning of this year. So take heed:

To love a Longbeard whose ways are false
Is like praising over slippery ice
With unshod horses out of control,
Badly refreshed two-year-olds,
Or drifting rudderless on a rough prairie,
Or catching a gull with a crippled shoulder
On a thawing hillside: think not to do it.

Got it? Good! :D

[The Perky Ent]

Tom Bombadil is a vala

I KNEW IT! Malbeth is never wrong! He is a Vala! I'd reckon he's more powerful than Manwe and Morgoth combined.

[Bergil]

Do not despise the vagrant Wizard. He may be one of the Halflings in disguise!

So a Hobbit may be impersonting a wizard and I'm to be kind to him? How will that help?

So, Mordor itself, is going to follow me through marshes which I never go into and through time, even when I'm dead? Ok then. :rolleyes:

An energetic Halfling walks the corridors of your dreams. To purge the Halfling from your thoughts, seek the comfort of Rhovanion.*

When foxes fly over the Blue Mountains, your desire will be fulfilled.
