None of the above.

symestreem · 02-24-2004, 01:47 PM

5) Esse? It is the Quenyan word for name; Quenya is high elven; a name is a title.

Finwe · 02-24-2004, 02:07 PM

5) epessë?

High Elven (Quenya)

title (an epessë often described what a person did or a defining characteristic ex. Gil-galad)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-25-2004, 01:28 AM

4. Istari.

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-25-2004, 11:02 AM

Keep guessing! (Now, where's that evil smiley gone ...)

Turambar · 02-25-2004, 01:08 PM

#5 Ilúvatar ?

Evisse the Blue · 02-25-2004, 06:13 PM

Is the Password Valaquenta ?

Finwe · 02-25-2004, 08:06 PM

Are any of the guesses even near?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-25-2004, 08:20 PM

4. Envinyatar?
5. Tari? Tarma?

Nirvana II · 02-25-2004, 10:12 PM

#5 Prince?

Celebrian · 02-25-2004, 10:21 PM

5) TARELDAR?

Indeed it is, Evisse, so your up next. Well done.

But first #s 4 and 5 remain to be guessed, so here's a hint for each:

#4 is cryptic. The straight clue is "poorly".

#5 is the title of an individual Elf (and two non-Elves too), although it's not an Elvish word.

Finwe · 02-26-2004, 11:24 AM

4) Nob?

5) Tall?

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-26-2004, 07:12 PM

1. Valacirca: Bringer of a heavenly harvest?
2. Langflood: Commonly said to be the longest bearer of the One Ring.
3. Quendi: Named speakers.
4. Remove first letter of alphabet poorly.
5. Tall: Lofty Elven title.

Correct on #5, Finwe. The Elf was Maedhros.

#4 shouldn't be so difficult. How many words are there for alphabet in Tolkien's works? And how many of those words make another Tolkien-related word when you remove the first letter?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-26-2004, 11:55 PM

Hmm...

Tengwar(rune) - [its initial letter] = Engwar(sickly). Another word for Men.

In case you didn't notice, this isn't the Rebus thread.

Shut up, Adam. Alter-egos, jeez!

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-27-2004, 05:59 PM

#2 Grey Havens or Mithlond?
#4 Aragorn? (The spirits of the Oatbreakers "paid off" their oath in serving him.)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-27-2004, 09:03 PM

3. Maedhros?

Finwe · 02-28-2004, 11:04 AM

2) Lindon?

6) Ainulindalë?

Firefoot · 02-28-2004, 02:12 PM

Evisse the Blue · 02-28-2004, 02:42 PM

Miriel and Firefoot are right. Finwe - close but not cigar.

3. Boromir. With my little brother I shared a jewel but not a passion.
4. Spirits pay off for him.

Turambar · 02-28-2004, 03:24 PM

#1 Rana or Isil ?

#2 Gulf of Lune ?

Evisse the Blue · 02-28-2004, 03:41 PM

Yep, Turambar, those are the ones, well, actually the Elvish equivalent of those. But not to worry, I'm not that nitpicky, so I'll add them.

Nirvana II

Finwe · 02-28-2004, 04:36 PM

5) Finrod? Sauron? Luthien?

(The clue seems to be talking about the singing duels between Finrod and Sauron or Luthien and Sauron.)

Nirvana II · 02-28-2004, 04:38 PM

for #5 uhhhhh........Sauron?

Evisse the Blue · 02-28-2004, 04:54 PM

Nirvana II - #3 was aready guessed.
Finwe - you're on the right track, just think on a lower scale.

Finwe · 02-28-2004, 05:07 PM

Umm... ok... it has something to do with singing then...

Aragorn? (He was singing when he met Arwen.)

Evisse the Blue · 02-29-2004, 12:38 AM

Nope. Not singing and not Aragorn.

1. IthilThing that starts a sword's harmless touch comes out at night.
2.Lhun Final journey begins here.
3.Boromir With my little brother I shared a jewel but not a passion.
4. Spirits pay off for him. Hint: slang
5. Muted malice broken by a bright memory. Hint: confrontation; key word: muted

Finwe · 02-29-2004, 03:16 PM

5) Cirith Ungol (when Frodo and Sam broke the spell of the Watchers by using the Phial of Earendil)

Thorongil · 02-29-2004, 03:37 PM

5) or could it be the watchers themselves?

4. Spirits pay off for him.
5.Silent Watchers Muted malice broken by a bright memory

Almost there... Hint for no4: it's cryptic, it's a person's last name, one of the words is also a slang term.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-01-2004, 02:08 AM

That's a hit! The password is indeed Thorin, so you can start preparing the next mind game.
In the meantime, there's still #4 to be guessed.
