Oh silly me, I knew it was Thingol, I was thinking of Finrod and Turgon and their fun little dreams.

BTW, "avuncular" is a super cool word.

5. Whose words caused the policy of stealth in Nargothrond?

Fingolfin II 07-29-2004 01:05 AM

I know it's one of the seven brothers......so I'll say Celegorm, because I'm pretty sure it's him.

Firefoot 07-29-2004 05:17 AM

Thingol.

Oh, dear, silly me, I didn't realize there was another page...

Lindolirian 07-29-2004 01:33 PM

This did Curufin
when his brother ceased did then begin
more to impress upon their minds
and such a spell he on them binds
that never again till Turin's day
would Gnome of Narog in array
of open battle go to war...

is it Beren?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-30-2004 09:09 PM

Sorry, no.
 
It's mentioned in the scene right after Curufin's spell-casting...or I think that's what he did. :rolleyes:

So I've been looking at all of these knowing the answers but not wanting to reply because I can't win because I'm leaving for a while. So for the tie break, I gotta forfeit. Have fun Firefoot!

The next topic is Túrin.

1. What name did Túrin take while living among the Outlaws, and what did it mean?

3. Why did Túrin kill himself?

Lindolirian 08-04-2004 09:23 PM

Because he realized that his doom had caught up with him. He married his sister, killed Brandir unjustly, and he felt that he didn't need to cast his shadow anywhere else.

4. How did Túrin find out that he killed Beleg?

Mariska Greenleaf 08-05-2004 05:45 AM

After he killed him, there was a great flash of lightening above them, and in its light he could see Beleg's face.

5. How did Dorlas recognize Túrin?

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2004 11:48 PM

I luuuurv quotes . . .
 
Quote:

There [on the barrow of Finduilas Túrin] laid himself down, and a darkness fell on him, so that they thought he was dead. But Dorlas . . . said: " . . . see: here lies Mormegil himself, the great captain of Nargothrond. By his sword we should have known him, as did the Orcs." (UT I 2)
Collapsing on a mound should be identification enough. ;)
