Death Quotes
Right, i made a search on this and I cant find anything exactly like it so hear it goes. Its simple really. One person will quote a line from just before, just after after or during a death scene in any of Tolkiens books (but it must have something to do with the death). Who ever answers correctly will be able to find the next quote.
Heres the first one: Quote:

Said by Gurthang, the black blade of Turin Turambar, when Turin asked if it would slay him quickly. Afterwards Turin threw himself onto the blade.
From: 'Of Turin Turambar', 'The Silmarillion' Not sure how much information you need :) |

It was at the death of Beleg, about Túrin just after he realized what he had done.
So are these quotes that someone said or just quotes from the books? |
Indeed it is.
As far as I can tell from Phervasaion's introduction, they just have to come from a death or funeral scene from the books, is all. And so far we seem to really like the Silmarillion. :p |
Must be because everybody dies in the Sil. ;) Seriously, that was my first impression of the book - "everybody dies!" Anyway:
