An amazing diplay of well, uh, just breaking things, I guess.

The Perky Ent · 02-19-2004, 10:21 PM

T

Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three,
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree

Gandalf reciting Rhymes of Lore

EDIT:This was my favorite poem when I first read the series!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-19-2004, 11:40 PM

"...unless there is much amiss in Rohan and the power of Saruman is greatly increased, they will take the shortest way they can find over the fields of the Rohirrim."

-Aragorn, III 2

piosenniel · 02-20-2004, 01:46 PM

V

Well, this "v" comes in the midst of the quote - but it's one of the Gaffer's sayings and I like it:

'Maybe,' said Sam; 'but where there's life there's hope, as my Gaffer used to say; and need of "v"ittles, as he mostways used to add.

-- Sam to Frodo; Journey to the Crossroads

"Would that the Lady had given us a light, such a gift as she gave to Frodo!"

Gimli to his companions as night hides the trail of Merry's and Pippin's captors in Chapter Two, The Riders of Rohan.

Let's see who dares 'Z'.

The Perky Ent · 02-21-2004, 08:03 AM

Z

“From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak it climbed, ascending in unbroken spiral in many thousand steps, until it issued at last in durin’s tower carved in the living rock of Zirakzigil, the pinnacle of the silvertime.”

-The White Rider

-Gandalf explaining how he fought the Balrog

Well, shall I start the next one?

Evisse the Blue · 02-21-2004, 10:48 AM

Please do!

The Perky Ent · 02-21-2004, 10:58 AM

Ok...um....let's see....OH! I have one!

The A to Z will be...Places any members of the fellowship visited.

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-21-2004, 09:49 PM

So ...

J is for Just outside Moria, where the Fellowship tarried while trying to work out the way to get through the West-door, and encountered a Watcher of the "in the Water" variety.

... or Just outside just about any place that they visited.

Arvedui III · 02-21-2004, 09:56 PM

This may be a little streach, but...

K

The Keep at Helm's Deep, which Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli helped to defend.

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-21-2004, 10:00 PM

Gah! And I gave you a big hint for K too: Khazad-Dum.

Arvedui III · 02-21-2004, 10:05 PM

D'oh! Well, I must plead that while I'm reading Helm's Deep, my thoughts are not exactly centered on Moria. But, yeah, Khazad-Dum is the more obvious choice.

Thorongil · 02-22-2004, 02:19 AM

L kind of says itself, but I'll do it.
Lothlorien.

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 06:41 AM

I think M says itself too: Moria.

Evisse the Blue · 02-22-2004, 09:50 AM

lol - in that case N is for Near Moria. Nope, not to worry, I'm not staying with that.

Arvedui III · 02-22-2004, 11:50 AM

P

Pelennor, or the fields of Pelennor, if you like. Merry helped slay the Witch-King there.

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 01:25 PM

Hmm, Q is a tough one. I'll say Quest's End, which is Mount Doom.

Evisse the Blue · 02-22-2004, 01:49 PM

R

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 02:08 PM

The Perky Ent · 02-23-2004, 08:57 AM

The X obiously is...um...well...is there a X? I don't think there is one...so...should we skip it?

NightKnight · 02-23-2004, 09:51 AM

Noooo, we can't do that! There is that x-tra evil guy named Sauron.

Thorongil · 02-23-2004, 01:39 PM

Well since Sauron isn't a place, that wont work.
