Once again, he's HUMAN!!!! Same for Ioreth. For a non-human 'F':

Feanor: best of the Children, creater of the Silmarils. Mentioned by Gandalf in the Two Towers to Pip when riding to Minas Tirith. Consumed by grief and rage, went nuts, killed some Elves, stole some ships, made an oath...

As for 'I', I'm drawing a blank, but please remember the NON-HUMAN requirement.

Fea

K - King of Angmar. The Lord of the Nazguls, and a nasty piece of work, although he has some nice descriptions - 'Shadow of Despair', for one, something I would consider as a PT. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 08-20-2003, 02:40 PM

P for Elrond Peredhil, father of Elrohir, Elladan, and Arwen and bearer of Vilya.

Amanaduial, I got my avatar by searching around on Google for Jack Sparrow. Took me a while, but I got it.

Evisse the Blue · 08-20-2003, 03:05 PM

R for Rory Brandybuck who received a dozen bottle of Old Winyards from Bilbo and who wasn't concerned at all about his abrupt leaving as he hadn't taken the vittles with him.

Arwen Imladris · 08-20-2003, 03:51 PM

Ted Sandyman: He is a hobbit who owned the mill in Hobbiton. He was one of Lotho Sackville-Baggins' followers during the War of the Ring.

Evisse the Blue · 08-20-2003, 05:23 PM

Sophia - for your letter there could be Ori - the dwarf who wrote in that book they found near Balin's tomb.

Now for T: Pippin Took - member of the Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo and Merry's cousin, drinker of ent draught and mischief maker, Thain and Soldier of Gondor, who, believe it or not, has something in common with Glorfindel and the Watcher in the Water - only I can't tell what [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Cinderella · 08-20-2003, 06:32 PM

Argh! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Sorry about my very stupid mistake a few posts up... Honestly, Ioreth.... Thanks to Beren for making up for my temporary (I swear!) stupidity!

Let's try this again....
U is for Uruk-Hai a strain of orcs bred by Sauron to be used as soldiers.

Evisse the Blue · 08-21-2003, 03:29 PM

V for Varda, Elbereth, Lady of Stars, wife of Manwe, whom Galadriel sings about.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 08-21-2003, 04:51 PM

W is for Woses, who were not human (I think).

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-21-2003, 06:24 PM

I'm afraid that they were, Horse-Maiden. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

How about W for Wandlimb, an Entwife whom Teebeard recalls when telling the tale of the Entwives to Merry and Pippin.

Kaiserin · 08-23-2003, 03:30 AM

X is for Shadowfax, the amazing Meara that Gandalf "borrowed" from Theoden.

alquadae · 08-23-2003, 04:23 AM

"YRCH!" said the Elf in a hissing whisper,and cast on to the flet the rope- ladder all rolled up.
"Orcs!" said Frodo. ........"

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-25-2003, 05:10 PM

Z for Zaragamba, a Hobbit family, the translation of which from the Red Book is Oldbuck.

New topic! How about descriptive words that can be linked to a specific (named) character.

A is for Adventurous, which might be applied to Bilbo, at least when under the influence of his Tookish side, and certainly in comparison to the majority of Hobbits.

Evisse the Blue · 08-25-2003, 05:24 PM

B is for Bold , Boromir the Bold, "he tarries and I grieve" [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Faye Took · 08-25-2003, 06:13 PM

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-25-2003, 06:30 PM

D is for Despair, exhibited by Denethor.

Hey, extra points if you match the description and the character to the letter. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 08-25-2003, 10:33 PM

E is for Energy, which Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli showed in their tireless pursuit of the Uruk-hai that stole the hobbits.

Kaiserin · 08-26-2003, 12:07 AM

F is for faithfulness, which we see in Samwise Gamgee.

Evisse the Blue · 08-26-2003, 03:08 AM

G is for Gleaming, which Galadriel, Glorfindel and Gil-galad all do very well.

(ok, I just wanted the extra points... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-26-2003, 07:21 AM

H is for hail-fellows which describes Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas quite nicely:

a pleasant or congenial companion

Fea

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-26-2003, 11:25 AM

I is for Intrepid, like Isengar Took who went to sea, certainly an intrepid feat by Hobbit standards.

Hurray for Jabberwocky! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

K is for Kingly, a word that describes the manner of Aragorn.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-27-2003, 07:00 AM

Why thank you for the huzzahs.

L is for Languid, which really describes Frodo excellently as they near Mordor.

Arien · 08-27-2003, 07:59 AM

M is for malevolent which is what Morgoth or Melkor (which ever you prefer [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) was.

[ August 27, 2003: Message edited by: Arien ]

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-29-2003, 08:19 AM

N is for nefarious, which describes Melkor (so much that they stopped calling him that and used "Morgoth" instead).

Fea

Evisse the Blue · 08-29-2003, 12:44 PM

O is for Omniscient, who is only Illuvatar - and to an extent, Gandalf in LOTR [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

LOL for Jabberwocky! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
