Palantir of Fortune non-quote quote edition
 
I don't believe there is this type of game yet. If so, oops!

What's a non-quote quote? :confused:
Well, the majority of Tolkien's works are obviously not words spoken by or sung
by an individual, therefore the majority of his writings, including a number of memorable lines, are outside the purview (whatever that is :eek: ) of other
Palantir of Fortune games.

Rules are generally the same as other Palantir games.
Rules: The quote is a series of blanks which are filled in by letters guessed by players until someone guesses the quote. Whoever guesses correctly gets the thread. If necessary, the context of the non-quote quote should be given. The first one certainly needs such an explanation.

Quote:

He had no fear, save for weather and weariness, and these men must endure whom need sends far abroad in Middle-earth.
I don't know where it's from, but I'll take a guess: is it about Tuor?

Tuor of Gondolin 08-25-2004 07:23 PM

The quote's correct, so I'd say you win. It's about Isildur, in UT:
"The Disaster of the Gladden Fields."

Firefoot 08-26-2004 04:50 AM

Thanks.
