Good Luck all.

Nah, I had to wake up first.

It was Melkor to Ungoliant somewhere in Avathar.

It was easy to find as the word "Yea" doesn't occur all that often. Plus I'm right around there in my re-reading.

It was an elf, and it was said during a "speech" to people.

Im going to say that it was part of Faenors speech (i cant remember how to do the funky e with the dots for his name, sorry), when he was trying to get the elves to leave Valinor and pursue Morgoth.

Good enough!

To do that "funky thing above the e" you push ALT + 0235. E is the only letter I remember 'cause its used quite often.

I found this...
Quote:
But it was not within the power of Eönwë to pardon those of his own order, and he commanded Sauron to return to Aman and there receive the judgement of Manwë.
Which is just narration, not an actual quote. But its the only thing I've found that even remotly matches..

Um...Dondagnirion isn´t responding, so..maybe we should just move on. Do you want to post a new quote, Beren?

Well, you would be right, except that you have three names too many. You know you can eliminate Beren, because he only saw Gondolin from a distance and never met Turgon in person.

Now, which one of the brothers said this, Hurin or Huor. Think. You can do it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
