I decided to Google it

Google says it's Dorlas in the Children of Hurin. Is Google right?

Galadriel55 · 01-21-2011, 09:16 PM

Google is right, so I give the thread to Google.

Yes, you are correct, BG!

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-22-2011, 08:07 PM

When in doubt, consult with Google. The one search engine to rule them all!

Galadriel55 · 01-23-2011, 07:28 PM

I wanted to see if Google really is the one to rule them all, and lo! it isn't!!!

I've typed in my quote. Well, I got a lot of random Tolkien pages, but none that actually give the speaker!

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-25-2011, 06:36 AM

There is a higher power out there other than google?! What madness is this?!

(I blame google for the current hijacking of this thread

)

Blind Guardian · 01-31-2011, 03:51 PM

Sorry you guys we lost internet for a while. And now to find my book...

'And is he not Vala as are they and does he not understand their heart?'

Galadriel55 · 01-31-2011, 04:21 PM

I think it's Feanor, when he's asked to give away the Silmarilli, but I can't for the life of me remember who it is about!

Melkor. It's right after Mandos says "Not the first." and right before he finds out the silmarils were stolen.

Good job, you must really know the book!

xMellrynxMaidenx · 02-01-2011, 10:21 AM

Beleg!

Galadriel55 · 02-01-2011, 11:58 AM

Correct!!!

xMellrynxMaidenx · 02-01-2011, 09:04 PM

"Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue."

Blind Guardian · 02-02-2011, 11:32 AM

Guess: Mandos?

xMellrynxMaidenx · 02-02-2011, 07:25 PM

You would be correct!

Blind Guardian · 02-05-2011, 04:01 PM

'For rock and steel and the fires of Morgoth keep the jewel that I would possess against all the powers of the Elf-kingdoms.'

Galadriel55 · 02-05-2011, 09:47 PM

That would be Beren to Thingol, when he asks for Luthien.

Blind Guardian · 02-07-2011, 07:02 PM

No, look again.

Galadriel55 · 02-07-2011, 07:45 PM

Oooops!

That's Thingol to Beren, at the same occasion. They both use the same phrase, so I got them mixed up!
Yeah, it wouldn't make any sense if Beren was telling Thingol that he wants the silmarilli...

Blind Guardian · 02-07-2011, 08:32 PM

Urwen · 02-08-2011, 08:06 AM

Easy one. Morgoth said it. To my papa. Speaking about me and my siblings.

Galadriel55 · 02-08-2011, 04:39 PM

You are correct, Urwen!

Blind Guardian · 02-08-2011, 08:53 PM

When did he say that?

Galadriel55 · 02-08-2011, 09:52 PM

In The Words of Hurin and Morgoth in COH. Morgoth says that he will bitter the lives of Hin Hurin+Morwen, and he adds this line.

Blind Guardian · 02-08-2011, 09:56 PM

oh, I have never read that. 'tis the bad thing about this thread. ; )

Urwen · 02-09-2011, 04:06 AM

To which my papa said "You have none". As expected - from my papa.

Anyway, my quote is:

Quote:

I am your sister and not your servant.

Chew on that one for LONG time. Ellen Silla Lumen omentielvo.

And don't forget WHITE shores. Or GREEK GOD OF THE WIND

Good luck.

I included subtle hints. Should help you identify the speaker.

Evisse the Blue · 02-09-2011, 04:57 AM

Aredhel to Turgon, wanting to set off from Gondolin.

Galadriel55 · 02-19-2011, 12:36 PM

Urwen?

Blind Guardian · 03-04-2011, 10:24 PM

Hey dude! *whacks Urwen over the head* WAKE UP!

Oi, nobody gets whacked over anything in here! (Besides, as far as I know Urwen is what PJ's Nazgûl would probably call a "she-dude"

.)
Anyway, this thread has been stagnant for over 10 days, so if you can't or won't wait for her to reply, you could just go ahead and post a new quote.

Galadriel55 · 03-07-2011, 06:52 PM

Since neither Urwen nor Evisse (who I think is correct, btw) are here, and BeiGei and Pitchie didn't post quotes...

"Let him have peace yet awhile."

xMellrynxMaidenx · 03-07-2011, 07:08 PM

Aulë said that.

xMellrynxMaidenx · 03-07-2011, 07:36 PM

Aulë said that.

Galadriel55 · 03-07-2011, 07:47 PM

Correct, Mellryn!

Urwen · 03-09-2011, 08:22 AM

I plotted to let this thread lie stagnant so you'd understand just how aggravated I am when threads in Quiz room lie stagnant. Plus, I too have life...

First of all, aren't we all aggrevated when that happens? You don't have to keep up the "bad behaviour" if you don't like it, you know.

Quote:

So do all of us. *sigh*

Well, anyway, it's Mellryn's turn.

xMellrynxMaidenx · 03-10-2011, 12:35 AM

"For this is the Nauglamír, whose name is known to many among Elves and Men; and I bring it to thee out of the darkness of Nargothrond, where Finrod thy kinsman left it behind him when he set forth with Beren son of Barahir to fulfil the errand of Thingol of Doriath!"

Galadriel55 · 03-10-2011, 06:21 AM

Hurin to Thingol.

Hurin came to Doriath to blae Thingol and Melian for doing a bad job keeping watch on his family.

xMellrynxMaidenx · 03-13-2011, 11:15 AM

Correct.
