EDIT: For the new page: 1. - Monstrous craven lord 2. - A dullard slow 3. - Faithless lords untrue 4. - Robber 5. - Poor rejected beggar 6. - Fickle folk 7. - Wrought of lies and guile hS |
So some subset of Noldor and Teleri? Silvan or Wood-Elves are the only ones that are an off-shoot branch of both.
Alternatively, both Noldor and Sindar (a subset of Teleri) eventually settled into Middle Earth. Then there is Glindur, who had both Noldor and Teleri blood. Or Orcs, who were presumably enslaved indiscriminately... |

There is a very, very strong theme to this password; I suspect they'll all fall in rapid succession. hS |
How about those Elves that Frodo and Sam saw that were returning to Aman?
Or maybe Gondolindrim, who were all about keeping the new arrivals there, but allowed dad and uncle to leave freely? |

I will offer a probably-useless hint and tell you that #6 is in the author's voice. hS |
I would continue, but I don't know which guess is 'getting closer', the people of Gondolin or the departing Elves.
Unless it's them... |

Galdor and Glorfindel?

So you're saying that this subset were described as fickle in the text?
Well, time to turn to my old friend, TG search box... |
2. Orodreth
3. Celegorm and Curufin? 6. Elves of Lorien? |
5. Gwindor or Brandir, possibly?
|
1. Morgoth?
In which case, the password could be 'mocking' or 'mockery'. |

MORGOTH - Monstrous craven lord (per Fingolfin) ORODRETH - A dullard slow (per Curufin) CELEGORM & CURUFIN - Faithless lords untrue (per the people of Nargothrond) 4. K - Robber 5. I - Poor rejected beggar 6. N - Fickle folk 7. G - Wrought of lies and guile hS |
And there is a snag. No 'K' characters are described as 'robber' in the text...
|
Anyway, 7: Gurthang?

If we go by first letter, then Khamul is the best fit. If we go by non-first letter, then Lobelia is...
And wrought could also mean 'born'... |
Lies and guile makes me think of Melkor's lies to the Noldor leaders, so is the word 'GULF' by any chance?

And it doesn't have the letter K in it either. :facepalm:
|
Anyway, Kili?

Quote:
The K is a title; you need the title and a person attached to it. hS |
Thingol (according to SoF)

5. Incanus?

The theme is not just 'mocking'. It is much stronger than that. hS |
Are the remaining letters first letters of answers, or not?

6. Nandor (it's the only remaining group beginning with N)

I am ashamed to say I that my memory of these direct quotes is sadly lacking. I feel like 7 might be applicable to Glaurung, but I also have a feeling that he doesn't quite fit the theme.

Or -- maybe I did. Quote:
Not Glaurung. hS |

Furthermore, I only have core books (e.g. LOTR, Hobbit, Silm, CoH) and FoG. Things like Lay of Leithian and all that are not in my possession, so if you expect me to get the clues from anything I don't own, then know that it won't happen. |
