"She won't come back"

Galadriel55 · 11-13-2010, 03:17 PM

Urwen, I have a feeling that no one can think of the answer for this one, so you'll probably have to give us another one.

Was it perhaps Brandir talking to Turin about Nienor Niniel???

Urwen · 12-23-2010, 04:04 AM

Nope. But close.

Hint: It involves my namesake...

Galadriel55 · 12-23-2010, 09:25 AM

Is it when Turin asks why can't he say "Lalaith" anymore, and Morwen answers that she's dead?

Galadriel55 · 12-23-2010, 09:41 AM

My bad - I just checked, and Sador Labadal said that, not Morwen. He was answering Turin's question as to what happened to Lalaith.

Urwen · 12-23-2010, 12:31 PM

Yup. Your turn

Galadriel55 · 12-23-2010, 12:44 PM

Who said this one:

"And maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright."

Was it Galadriel saying that by any chance???

Yes it was! She said it to Melian when she questioned her about the Noldor and the reason for their return.
Go ahead!

Almesiva Moonshadow · 12-27-2010, 03:09 PM

Okay, here is an easy one:

"Here I have found what I sought not indeed"

Galadriel55 · 12-27-2010, 04:28 PM

Is that Beren to Thingol, talking about Luthien? When she brought Beren to Menegroth, and Thingol questioned him about what he was seeking in Doriath...?

Yep, you got it right. I said it was an easy one,didnt I?
Its your turn again...go ahead...

Galadriel55 · 12-28-2010, 12:20 PM

This one's either really obvious or pretty difficult:
"Surely there is healing in Aman?"

xMellrynxMaidenx · 12-29-2010, 02:15 AM

Was it Finwe?

Galadriel55 · 12-29-2010, 11:04 AM

Correct!!!

xMellrynxMaidenx · 12-29-2010, 06:28 PM

"But the dawn is brief and the day full often belies its promise."

Galadriel55 · 01-07-2011, 02:46 PM

I haven't forgotten about this thread, MellyrnMaiden, but I still can't find the answer! If it wasn't 1st age quotes we were supposed to guess, I'd say Gandalf said it. However, Gandalf didn't say anything such in the first age, so I'll have to think of someone else. Er................Melian?

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-11-2011, 03:29 PM

Neither said it, Galadriel55

hehe.

Let me see if I can give a hint without giving it away, Hmm..

He had four siblings; two sisters, a brother and a half brother.

I've probably just given it away, too.

If not and you still can't figure it out, I'll try for another hint.

Galadriel55 · 01-11-2011, 04:30 PM

Would it be Fingolfin? After your clue, I thought it's Finarfin, but he doesn't speak much... So, my guess if Fingolfin.

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-11-2011, 04:47 PM

I knew I would give it away.

Yup, it's Fingolfin!

Galadriel55 · 01-11-2011, 05:32 PM

Thanks! Yeah, you kind of gave it away when you said "half-brother". There aren't that many half-brothers in ME.

And cool avatar, btw!

"Blackheart! I have done thy bidding. But I hunger still."

Blind Guardian · 01-11-2011, 10:48 PM

Ungoliant!

Blind Guardian said, "Blackheart show me what you hold in hand."

Galadriel55 · 01-12-2011, 06:19 AM

Correct, BG!

Blind Guardian · 01-15-2011, 12:42 PM

"Fair shall the end be, though long and hard shall be the road!"

Galadriel55 · 01-15-2011, 01:03 PM

Was that Feanor, talking to the Noldor and Manwe's heralds when he was departing to ME?

Blind Guardian · 01-15-2011, 02:13 PM

&%^$...

I didn't think it was that easy! OK, your turn again.

Galadriel55 · 01-15-2011, 02:29 PM

It wasn't that easy, it's just that I like that part very much, and I was rereading it recently.

"For this he was born into the world."

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-15-2011, 04:44 PM

Ulmo said that I do believe

Galadriel55 · 01-15-2011, 04:56 PM

That's right, MM!

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-15-2011, 09:51 PM

"None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!"

I'll admit, I had to do a little digging to remember this one

Blind Guardian · 01-15-2011, 10:35 PM

Feanor, after the Kinslaying, when he got to Beleraind and burned the Swan Ships?

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-16-2011, 04:34 PM

Correctamundo as Fonzie would say

Blind Guardian · 01-17-2011, 12:31 PM

Okie...*goes to find Sil*

'Come! It is time to go. If you will, I will lead you."

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-17-2011, 06:36 PM

Brandir said this to Niniel in hopes that she would flee with him from the dragon.

Blind Guardian · 01-19-2011, 09:09 PM

Sounds right, although I don't have my book to check.

Galadriel55 · 01-20-2011, 06:14 AM

I'm quite certain that MellyrnMaiden got it right.

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-20-2011, 05:32 PM

I don't have my book handy on me right now, but I believe it was in chapter 21 (uncertain of the page number) or close to it.

"Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly."

I'm fairly certain everyone knows this one

but it's one of the ones I have memorized, given as I have previously stated, I don't have my book.

Galadriel55 · 01-20-2011, 06:24 PM

That would be Gurthang - the only known thinking and speaking sword!

Turin asked it if it would give him a quick death, and Gurthang said yes. (It's a bit awkward thinking "it" said, isn't it?)

xMellrynxMaidenx · 01-20-2011, 11:41 PM

Correct

Indeed, it is a bit awkward.

if a sword spoke to me, I don't think I would live long enough to tell the tale!
