Let's start with an easy one.

Moria, Moria, Wonder of the Northern world!
Too deep we dwelzed there and woke the nameless fear.

Who said this while reporting the problems of his race?

Gimli?

Got to be Gimli with that "we" there.

Agree Arwen [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nope.... Gloin his father. I don't think Gimli had much to say at the Council.

Gloin is right. Take it away Lindolirian.

"But what then would happen, if the Ruling Ring were destroyed, as you counsel?"

Tricky...but it's Glóin again.

Yup, Gloin rules... y'know this is kinda an easy thread cause its all from one chapter...

Yep. Will be hard to keeping coming up with quotes [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Guys want to include whole FotR too?

It is a rather limiting topic for quotes, but if you expand it beyond The Council of Elrond, the topic heading will make no sense. Besides there are already many general LOTR, FOTR, TT, ROTK quotes threads going.

Perhaps when we've exhausted this chapter, we can tackle another. It's a great way to get to know the book well.

Was it Boromir?

No, it was not Boromir. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Legolas? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Nor Legolas. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Gwahir when Gandalf asked for a ride of off Orthanc.

Hbbit got it. Darn, knew that one [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

No, hobbitlass doesn't have it quite right. Gwaihir didn't say that in the chapter The Council of Elrond. There's a reason I didn't include the quotation marks. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It's a technicality, I know, but that's why I chose this quote. Now you all know who actually said it, but the next turn goes to the first person to actually POST the answer! READY, SET, GO!

Ooooh, evil one! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
It's Gandalf saying to the council what Gwahir said to him. Is that what you are looking for?

Yess! Wicked! Tricksy! But not false.

Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I am going for a difficult one...
"...and yet we come no nearer."

It has been a week, time for the rest of the quote.

'Thus we return once more to the destroying of the Ring,' said_______,'and yet we come no nearer.'

Erestor!

Yes, you got it, your turn.

That's Aragorn to Boromir.

It's that old 'You think you have it tough? When I went to school, I had to walk ten miles with no shoes in a blizzard up hill - both ways!' Naw, these two guys aren't at all competitive.

Yup. Go on.

Frodo? It really sounds like something he'd say. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, it might sound like something Frodo would say in The Shadow of the Past but not during The Council of Elrond. I think by the time of the Council, Frodo understood what had to be done and why. (By the way that's a bit of a hint.)

Try again.

'I do not understand all this, he (Boromir) said. 'Saruman is traitor, but did he not have a glimpse of wisdom?'

Yes, hobbitlass, you got it. Poor Boromir just didn't 'get' it at the Council.

Your turn.

'And yet its vigilance can no longer keep back the Nine,'

mind if I jump in...it was Galdor
""Gondor wanes your say. but gondor stands, and even the end of its strenght is still very stong"
"And yet its vigilance can no longer keep back the Nine," said Galdor."And other roads...

We don't mind at all, we live to see new faces! Your correct, go on...

Elrond, speaking of going to Mordor.

I'm pretty sure I'm right, so...

"Anyway, this is what happened"

yeah u got it and i dont have my book with me to answere yours..maybe later but im tierd so bye

It was Bilbo When he was starting to tell his story. am i right??

Yep, that's right. Go ahead.

"And who are you, and what have you to do with the Minas Tirith?"
