I'd probably be a Dunlander from Dunland, as I have a strange fascination with them, as so little is told, save for the war(s) with Rohan. Living in Enedwaith and talking with those idiot Elves from Eregion, before the, you know, whole ring forging thing!
|
Well, I'd be an elf, but I'd live in Rohan and I'd be married to Eomer. I know, weird combo but...
|
I'd be a green Thark with tusks and four arms and call myself Jeddak! :D
Oh, Wait wrong forum - I'd be a green Orc with tusks and four arms and call myself Jedlak! :D |
I'd be a Teleri Elve born at Cuivienien (probabaly spelt that wrong) so I could experience the whole of Middle Earth's main history, and levae from the Havens on the last ship into the west.
I could then write a best selling memoir... |
I like books and learning so I would like to be an elf in Rivendell.
|
If only...
I am a half human half elven ranger of the north. A young female desguised as a male human, hidding my trueself in plain sight from my fellow rangers. As a man I can go where I want and do what I want, I can from my pasts past and from myeslf and what I should or should not be. It would my choosings to make in this life.
I could travel between Imladris and the forests of Mirkwood. Sometimes alone along the borders of Lorien and Rohan. Maybe even as far as to the people of Harad. I would Always return to Rivendell. Lord Elrond has always offered us sanctuary to those of us who need it. Even if not asked. I have not many friends here but in a rangers line of work and a female no less, who really does. I would have started my time some where around in the year of 2800 of the Third age. A few decades before Bilbos time when Arda was still at a small amount of peace. |

I'd be an elven singer from the Grey Havens, winter in the settlements by the sea, and wander the woods in the warmer months. I wouldn't be as good an archer or swordsman as most in the wandering companies, but the Shadow can be fought with song as well as blades, and songs should be sung also for song's sake.

As to singing for the song's sake, I don't know if that is quite possible or, at any rate, not how I'd put it. Shire folk also love music (I play whistle and uilleann pipes), gathering to sing and make merry. Our music is neither as 'high' as the Elves nor dour as the Dwarves, or sinister as the Goblins, but akin to all because music is more than being entertained; we make our own music, our own magic, to tell ourselves who we are. We make music because thus we rejoin the Great Song. How can I put it? Songs should be sung for the Song's sake (capital S), not for the sake of an individual song. "It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?" R.W.Lowry |

I guess I would prefer to live in the Shire, too, or perhaps in Gondor, working in the houses of healing, like Ioreth. |

I would be a dwarf, preferably one who is skilled at both arms and the forge.

I wish...
I'd be an elf from Rivendell, bu I'd hang out in Gondor and Rohan or where ever everything was going on at the time! (and i also happen to be very close to where ever Aragorn was at the time...) ;)
EDIT: I would also be a good archer. |
I'd be a Elve...
One of the Teleri born pre first age at Cunivien, I'd see middle earth in its infancy during the great journey, and accompany Olwe across the sea to Valinor, after nosing around for a few years, I'd steal a ship and escape back to Middle Earth before the kinslaying (that way I'm safe, and I would have nice unsploit memories of Valinor) then spend the next three ages as one of Cirrdan's following-I could fight with him up the slopes of Mount Doom, accompany him during the ovethrow of Angmar, sneak into meetings of the White Council, sail around Arda at leisure (exploring the other cotinents such as the Burnt Lands of the Sun, and Numenor prior to its destruction) then catch the last ship from the havens back to Valinor.
It would a action packed, very long life, and it could shed some light on Cirdan's backstory and the mysterious Grey Havens. |
Hmmm...I don't think I'd care to be a mortal in the first 3 Ages of Middle-earth. What with war, pestilence, drought and bad dentistry, it would be as miserable a life as a medieval serf or villein - a short life and an unmerry one, even if Tolkien painted a somewhat rosy picture. There is nothing gallant about wasting away from dysentery or gangrene.
I suppose I would prefer to be an Elf, as they were too noble for bowel movements. |
Maybe not Morth..there are Quenya and Gnomish words for that and other surprising things...including louse..
