Welcome to the downs, Morquen, I hope you got a better grave then me .

[elronds_daughter]

Welcome to the 'Downs, Morquen! <grins ghoulishly> Boro, I think everyone has a better grave than you....

Anywhee, hope you enjoy death in it's various stages!

[Morquen]

how did you come here elronds_daughter?
or whoever wishes to answer...
Tell me what your grave is like and i'll tell you about mine... i cant tell whose grave is better...

[elronds_daughter]

I? I did a Google search for "Lord of the Rings websites" and one of the results was the main Barrow-Downs site, and I found the forum from there.

[wilwarin538]

Welcome Morquen the Black One love the name! Enjoy being dead!

I don't remember how I stumbled across the downs.......*thinks really hard(distorting her face in the process) then falls asleep*

Cheers, and welcome,
~*Wilwarin the Butterfly*~

[Gil-Galad]

it was actually my brother, who showed me the personality tests on the main page...so i just joined up...

[Encaitare]

How did you find out about the Barrow Downs?

[Boromir88]

Boro, I think everyone has a better grave than you....

You're probably right, somehow the head grave wright mistook me for a 4 foot dwarf, it's just a bit crampy.

[Gil-Galad]

hey the barrowwight mistook me for a playboy spider....not that i'm complaining...

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Greettings to all here. This looks like a great forum for Tolkien.

Im garo randir palan anglenno na anglenno sí.

[elronds_daughter]

Welcome to the Barrow-Downs, Beleg! I offer you my sincerest hope that you enjoy your death.

Thanks....... Hey, did you say death?? Eru NO!!!!! I'm too young to be dead!!


Ok, some stuff about me. I’m kind of a Tolkien purest, and I got into M-E long before the movies, I’m interested in medieval combat, and pretty much anything about knights. I also have an interest in languages (particularly Elvish) And that’s all I’m going to say for now.

[Nimrodel_9]

Oh, poor Boro.

hey the barrowwight mistook me for a playboy spider

You`re not, are you?

Welcome to the Downs Morquen and Beleg. Don`t worry, being dead isn`t so bad! Unless you don't like bugs...

[Elennar Starfire]

Hey Beleg and Morquen!

Im garo randir palan anglenno na anglenno sí.

Care to give us a translation? I'm afraid I don't know that much elvish yet. Welsh now, I might be able to do. Or French, I know a fair bit of French. But alas, I'm not yet fluent in anything but English. (Pig latin doesn't count)

Oops, rambling again. *shuts up*

[Encaitare]

hey the barrowwight mistook me for a playboy spider....not that i'm complaining...

I'm not even going to ask...

Welcome, Beleg! And yes, we're all dead here. Don't fret, you'll find your barrow quite comfortable with a few throw pillows and such.

[Nukapei]

Yes, welcome Beleg! Oh, and if you're interested, The Gap of Rohan is having a sale on pillows and quilts! Go get yourself a few! I have mine . . . so pretty with scenes from The Silmarillion!

[Soronumë]

Ok, I'm new here too! I found this page year ago, or maybe even earlier, but I signed up last week... And, now, as you can very well see, I've attacked this place also.
uuummm.... should I tell something about myself here or...?

[Boromir88]

I'm too young to be dead!!

First off, welcome Beleg, I hope your grave is full of fresh worms (mine wasn't ). Second, sorry, but onces you are dead you can not go back. Unless you're some fancy wizard like Gandalf, or some smancy elf lord like Glorfindel.

Welcome to the downs Soronume, I hope your grave is damp and wet, mines dried and hard, not very comfortable. If you want to tell us about yourself Soron, this is the place .

[Soronumë]

Thanks, Boro....
So, here it goes.
I'm 16, girl, and - as you can see from there *points to left * - I live in Finland..
So, if I make mistakes, don't mind. It's because English is a foreign language to me, if then I had studied it already for six years...
And... I've promised to myself to start a reading project ( I think at Summer, when I have time for it)... Start with Silmarillion, continue with Unfinished tales, then Hobbit and finally Lord of the Rings.. I've read all of them before though.
And, I've also promised that when I have studied English long enough I'll read LotR on English..

[elronds_daughter]

Welcome, Soronumë! Finlanders are cool... I had an exchange student from Finland stay at my house once about five years ago.

Anyway, enough of my babbling! Welcome to the 'Downs, and enjoy your death!

[Soronumë]

Thank you thank you!

Give you a translation? Hmmm..... This is what it means basicely.

-Im garo randir palan anglenno na anglenno sí

-I have wanderder far arrive to arrive here


Edited:

-Im garo randir palan anglenno na anglenno sí. Ha thio limb garo tulo sí, a rinno al.

-I have wanderder far arrive to arrive here. It seems many have come here, and return not.

But I am not bound.

Just as a note. I really don't know this stuff at all.

[Gil-Galad]

Welcome Beleg and Soronume!

Poor Boro , with your dry dead wormed grave. Mine is the most comfortable thing ever....not to brag.

A play boy spider Gil ?

Welcome Soronumë and Beleg please enjoy being dead. (dont mind Boromir and his complaints )

~*Wilwa*~

[Nimrodel_9]

Welcome to the Barrow-Downs, Soronumë!!! I hope to see you around.

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Thanks for the welcomes eveyone.

[Encaitare]

What, all the rest of you are dead here? Hmm, I guess that would explain that odd musty smell. I must admit though, it's rather strange being the only living being here.

[wilwarin538]

First Neurion I love that odd musty smell and second if you are living why are you a skeleton? And Soronume that avatar of your is adorable.

I am indeed among the living, and yet I am seen as a skeleton by those that dwell in the the barrows, for you will mark that when I first ventured under the earth in quest of forgotten lore the wraiths that do frequent this place percieved me as a cache of bones, rudely piled.
And so it is that my stature grows in the sight of those that dwelleth here with each journey I make into these darkened halls on my quest and thus I am accounted a skeleton, and lo, if by reason of my quest I abide long enough in this place I shall be likened even unto the very barrow-wights, though my true stature and form are of substance irrevocably foreign to them.

[Gil-Galad]

yes, but don't foget to enjoy my puns...kinda keeps the life around here...that and BW's spring-cleaning! ha ha ha.....sorry BW...just remember my motto...not in the face...

[Nimrodel_9]

*grumble, grumble*

Sounds like someone needs a hug!

Yeah, don't let people like Gil/Sugar and Phantom scare you off, either.

[Nukapei]

Hey, Neurion, I think your cover's blown! ;D Seriously, though, nice use of language, very Tolkien-esque. I've been trying to figure out how to do that, and can't.

[Soronumë]

heh, thank you! *bows* I'm making an exception. ^^ I think ppl want to see something else than LotR-pics all the time, no matter how good lotr-pics they are...

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

Welcome to all the newbies! I'm celebrating my 100th post!

For such noble words as yours I am deeply in your debt.

As to your hope to gain such skill in the use of Westron as that which the Master did possess, I say to you it will come, should you but strive the harder for it. I have benefited greatly from the Unfinished Tales and other such works as are within my reach. I doubt not that the study of such texts would be of great help and succour to you.

[misty's hopping mt.]

[wilwarin538]
