It's the former; any one in the line of Dol Amroth would do. Go ahead!

Thanks, symestreem.

Her brother's grandson's wife's grandmother sang for Morgoth.

This is like one of those backwards arithmetic problems...
Is it Aredhel?

The Perky Ent · 03-28-2004, 09:49 AM

symestreem, if the answer is Aredhel, then it would be Luthien who sung for Morgoth. I know she sung for Mandos, but i don't recall her singing for Morgoth. If she did, i must reread, but otherwise, it's wrong.....i think.

Symestreem is right. Here is the passage:

Quote:

[Luthien] was not daunted by his eyes; and she named her own name, and offered her service to sing before him, after the manner of a minstrel....Then suddenly she eluded his sight, and out of the shadows began a song of such surpassing loveliness, and of such blinding power, that he listened perforce; and a blindness came upon him, as his eyes roamed to and fro, seeking her.

She did indeed sing for Morgoth. She sang so powerfully that she was able to lull him into a dream.

Oh right! I was un aware how she got Morgoth into a deep slumber! Sorry! But she did sing for Mandos! So i get 1/2 points for that!

What was Chica Chubb's father-in-law's youngest brother's eldest grandson's wife's mother's mother's maiden name?
