W
Window of the Sunset, Henneth Annun

A quote from The Two Towers: The Window on the West
Quote:
It was as if they stood at the window of some elven-tower, curtained with threaded jewels of silver and gold, and ruby, sapphire and amethyst, all kindled with an uncomsuming fire.
Or, if you don't like that, the constellation Wilwarin; stars having quite a lot to do with fire.

White-Hand "Loose connections"

It seems to me that some of the connections between the theme and the item given have become rather "forced" (to say the least) over the last page or so.

It's fair enough for the more difficult letters, but please try to name items that fit as closely to the current theme as possible wherever you can. Otherwise, the game simply isn't much of a challenge.

Thanks.

White-Hand Come on folks, you can do better than this

Quote:

That's just the kind of thing that I was talking about. It certainly is a stretch, particularly when there are a number of alternatives, such as Pelori, Pillar of Heaven and People of the Stars.

Also, how about a bit of variety? The Nazgul have come up 3 times, and they don't even fly themselves (and they certainly don't have much else to do with air). Similarly, the Silmarils have come up at least 3 times on this topic.

The game will be far more challenging, and also far more satisfying, if you try coming up with clever and different items.

X

Here are 2 stretches for “X”:

First concerns the a"X"is about which the stars of Arda reel in the sky – Balcercor or the Sickle of the Valar.

Second offered is a short quote from The Hobbit – ‘Out of the Frying-pan Into the Fire', where Bilbo would have to have become a creature who can fly through the air were he to try to escape from the ledge where the eagle had stashed him:

Quote:
There was no path down on to it save by flying; and no path down off it e"X"cept by jumping over a precipice.
