Behold! The power of the Onodrim shall not forsake you! LIVE!

I make the 10 day rule sound fun

He who brought that which would be revived
The lands in which the stones were divided
The cleaver that belonged to the reclaimer
The last of his kind who gave shelter to the doomed.
What Bombadil argues against Treebeard to be his

Ask away!

arcticstorm · 09-01-2005, 08:16 PM

1. Feanor
3. Narsil

Is the password Oromë?

The Perky Ent · 09-02-2005, 08:42 AM

grr.

Ok, i'll let you go with #2. The one i was looking for was the Realms in Exile, but that's close enough lol. Yes, you got the password. Please continue

NightKnight · 09-02-2005, 12:26 PM

Wow, cool. I think this is only the second Password I've ever got.

Here's my new one:

1. Oh Lord, what a holy song!
2. The G-Message loses two points and gets confused but stays anyway.
3. There is a tough man in most riders of the North.
4. Wanna-be Dragonslayer was a chicken!
5. Half an archer makes us blind.
6. The Master Smith is a Demon.
7. Captured Hobbit.
8. A man born inside a forest.

Well, I hope it's not too easy or too hard. Good luck!

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-02-2005, 05:37 PM

1. Ainulindalë?
2. Gamgee?
4. Dorlas?
7. Fatty Bolger?

NightKnight · 09-13-2005, 08:55 AM

Nay. It is a cryptical one.

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-13-2005, 10:19 AM

3. There is a tough man in most riders of the North.

Strider?

All correct! Well done, Turambar. Please take the thread, Master of Doom.

Turambar · 09-14-2005, 04:33 PM

1. Ents - Guardians sent hither and thither.
2. Stone of the Hapless - One that took her whom he shouldn't as lover
With the one who bore him, do I cover.
3. Gwindor - Like roaring wind or waves he charged and fought.
4. Angrist - Beheaded fellow, with grain for Sandyman, made a damaged weapon.
5. Ravenhill - Professor Spooner remembered this place as Shelter-Brook, though in truth one may be visited by birds there.
6. Orcrist - Alternatively that Old English poem would make a mighty sword.
7. Thingol - "Nothing old can stay," as the poet said, and so he proved.
8. Hithaeglir - Eighth lair about the mighty peaks.

The Perky Ent · 09-14-2005, 04:36 PM

1. Istari?
2. Um...for some reason, i'm gonna guess Huan

Turambar · 09-14-2005, 04:40 PM

No and no.

All the clues are cryptic, except perhaps #2.

Good luck.

The Perky Ent · 09-14-2005, 04:53 PM

Hmm...did you just change the first question? No matter...

These are so wrong, but...

1. Argonath?

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-14-2005, 05:45 PM

Quote:

1. Guardians sent hither and thither.

Rangers? Guardians who range here and there.

Quote:

4. Beheaded fellow, with grain for Sandyman, made a damaged weapon.

Angrist. Man minus his head plus grist (to the mill).

Quote:

5. Reverend Spooner remembered this place as Shelter-Brook, though in truth one may be visited by birds there.

Ravenhill. Haven-rill said by the aforementioned Prof. Spooner.

Quote:

8. Eighth lair about the mighty peaks.

Hithaeglir. Anagram of "Eighth lair".

Turambar · 09-14-2005, 07:38 PM

Saucepan Man's ## 4, 5 and 8 are correct.

NightKnight · 09-15-2005, 11:16 AM

2. Turambar?

Turambar · 09-15-2005, 01:00 PM

Turambar is "the one" referred to in the first line, but the answer is the one who speaks "I cover".

Firefoot · 09-15-2005, 01:47 PM

2. Hurin?

Turambar · 09-15-2005, 02:07 PM

No. I apologize for the doggerel: the answer is that which covers me (

) and the one who bore me.

NightKnight · 09-16-2005, 10:57 AM

The Stone of the Hapless?

Turambar · 09-16-2005, 11:33 AM

Excellent job!

NightKnight · 09-17-2005, 03:38 PM

7. Thingol?

Is the Password Esgaroth?

Turambar · 09-18-2005, 06:42 AM

Yes and yes. Good job.

E: I've edited the clues slightly.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 09-24-2005, 04:03 AM

1: Ents

3: Gwindor. "Like roaring wind or waves...". He did indeed fight at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

6: Orcrist. Crist (Christ) is actually three poems, which cover major episodes in Christ's involvement with mankind: the Advent, the Ascension and the Day of Judgement. Christ I, actually a number of separate lyrics, may have been written by the poet Cynewulf; Christ II is signed by him, and Christ III has been argued to be his work, although this is a bone of scholarly contention.

Turambar · 09-24-2005, 12:26 PM

All correct, and thanks for the info on Crist. Crist, I believe, is where Tolkien saw the word earendel and was inspired to write a poem about the voyage of Earendil.

NightKnight is up next.
