'And after that we must guess the riddles, if we are to choose our course rightly.'

LOTR, Aragorn

If (and if) I got this one right, the next one is quite possibly the shortest quote to grace the Palantir of Fortune:

"---- -------!"

Blind Guardian 04-29-2010 12:48 AM

This should be easy!

Eorl of Rohan 04-29-2010 04:06 AM

You think?

"---- --t-----!"

Pitchwife 04-29-2010 07:12 AM

I think so, too.:)
"Aure entuluva!" - Húrin's battle cry in the Nirnaeth.

Blind Guardian 04-29-2010 11:01 AM

Oh ****, it wasn't even in English!


...It blocks off swearing...? cool!!

Tuor in Gondolin 04-29-2010 11:32 AM

"e"s?

Aganzir 04-29-2010 12:32 PM

Yes Eorl you got it right, but it's usually polite to wait for the original poster of the quote to confirm it before posting a new one.

Blind Guardian 04-29-2010 02:04 PM

So Pitchwife what's the new one?

Pitchwife 04-29-2010 02:32 PM

*points up to Agan's post*
I'm waiting for Eorl to confirm my guess first, like a good boy.
By the way, Blind Guardian, welcome to the Downs and enjoy your death, metal or not.:)

Blind Guardian 04-29-2010 03:43 PM

Thanks, though I'm more a Pile of Bones now :D

Pitchwife 04-29-2010 03:49 PM

Yes, your decomposition is progressing nicely;)

Then, Aganzir, I must apologize for the breach of decorum.
I suspected as much but my impatience got the better of me; I promise to use my better judgment next time.

Hey, Blind Guardian. Welcome to the Palantir of Fortune :)

The answer is "Aure Entuluva", translated as "The Day Shall Come Again." The floor is yours, Pitchwife.

Blind Guardian 04-29-2010 11:53 PM

One of BG's songs in the album Nightfall In Middle-Earth (about the Silmarillion) had that in it.

I kinda forgot that you had to clear it, then Pitchwife could continue :D

Thanks, I guess. Nice forum.

Pitchwife 05-02-2010 04:08 AM

Pitchwife 05-02-2010 02:39 PM

Exactly! Take over, please.

Got it, Pitch.

Take it away.
