"Tidings of death have many wings. Night oft brings news to near kindred, t'is said. Boromir was my brother."
Faramir to Frodo, in TTT. I think it is in Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit. "Boromir" gave it away. :)

Guinevere 01-04-2011 10:14 AM

That's it, Galadriel! :)

Galadriel55 01-04-2011 08:20 PM

Thanks! :D

Folwren 01-07-2011 01:39 PM

So what letters do we have guessed so far? CO STAR? Okay, how about adding some M's in there?

Galadriel55 01-07-2011 02:38 PM

COM STAR - sorry for not putting the letters up before

This isn't a quote that many people would remember, although it's not something you'd mix up with another line. I can tell you what book it's from. Should I?

Folwren 01-08-2011 04:55 PM

No, don't tell us. We're too close to get a hint like that.

Folwren 01-08-2011 05:04 PM

I figured most of it out and then did a google search on it, so I'll consider myself out. I would never have gotten it.

Inziladun 01-09-2011 08:50 AM

Quote:

"Keep your hate! It is as feeble as all your counsels. But for me the Orcs would have come and hung you as a scarecrow in your garden. Take the name skulker to yourself!"
Dorlas to Brandir in UT (and COH). I remember that passage well for the "what goes around, comes around" effect on Dorlas.

Galadriel55 01-09-2011 10:07 AM

Correct, Zil!
I didn't know this was in the UT, I took it from COH.
Well done, anyways!

Inziladun 01-10-2011 09:04 AM

Thanks, Galadriel. I'll try to have one up today.

Inziladun 01-10-2011 09:57 PM

Here it is:

Inziladun 01-10-2011 10:06 PM

E
