Yup, your turn Rad.

'The blade that is drawn from this sheath shall not be stained or broken even in defeat. But is there aught else that won desire of me at our parting? For darkness will flow between us, and it was by that we shall not meet again, unless it be/_a_/h_n_e/upon a/r_a_/that has won returning.'
Speaker: Galadriel.

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Last 3 words are: far, hence, and road. Correct?

[Artanis]

'The blade that is drawn from this sheath shall not be stained or broken even in defeat. But is there aught else that you desire of me at our parting? For darkness will flow between us, and it may be that we shall not meet again, unless it be far hence upon a road that has no (?) returning.'

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, it's 'no', sorry... eveything is correct, Artanis and CC. Your turn Artanis.

[Artanis]

Umm - long enough for you Rad?

[Earniel]

Sauron the deceiver. You can almost see why the Celebrimbor fell for those pretty words.

[Beren3000]

"Alas, for the weakness of the great!
For a mighty king is Gil-Galad, and wise in all lore is Master Elrond,
and yet they will not aid me in my labours.
May it be that they do not desire to let other lands become as blissful as their own?
But therefore should Middle-earth remain for ever desolate and rank,
whereas the Elves could make it as fair as Eressea, nay even as Valinor?
And since you have not returned thither, as you might,
I perceive that you love this Middle-earth,as do I.
Is it not then our task to labour together for its enrichment,
and for the raising of all the Elven-kindreds that wander here untaught to
the delight of that _o_e_ and _n_w_e_g_/which these have who are beyond the Sea?"

The speaker is obviously Sauron, to the Elves of Eregion.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, Arty. It was challenging! Can't figure out these 2 words though

EDIT: I solved the whole thing, just happened to cross-post with Earniel.

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh.

Took me some time and apperently some people finished first... last word is 'knowledge'.

[Valandil]

'power'?

[Artanis]

There were just two errors:

But _herefore should Middle-earth remain ...
.....and for the raising of all the Elven-kindreds that wander here untaught to
the /_e_g_t/ of that power and knowledge which those have who are beyond the Sea?

Yes, Annatar was indeed looking and speaking fair, mixing truth with lies.

[Radagast The Brown]

Wherefore? And weight?

[Artanis]

Wherefore is correct, but it's not weight.

[Beren3000]

Is it "height"?

[Artanis]

Yep, height it is!
Good work, all of you!
Your go then Beren.

[Beren3000]

Thanks!
First, please take a moment to admire my beautiful bride, Luthien, who just deigned to give me a mini-pic of her to put in my avvy, then:

"Y_t/ _f/ i_/ s_a_d_/ b_t/ _/ l_t_l_/ w_i_e/,
/_h_n/ _u_/ o_ /y_u_/ h_u_e/ _h_l_ / c_m_ / t_e/ _o_e /_f /_l_e_ /a_d /_e_./ T_i_/ I/ _a_ /t_ /y_u/,/ _o_d/,
/ _i_h /_h_/ e_e_/ o_/ d_a_h/: _h_u_h/ _e/ _a_t/ _e_e /_o_/ e_e_/, a_d /_ /s_a_l /_o_ / l_o_ /o_ /y_u_ /w_i_e/ _a_l_ / a_a_n/, _r_m /_o_ / a_d /_r_m/ _e/ _ /n_w/ _t_r/ _h_l_ / a_i_e/. _a_e_e_l/!"

I personally think this quote is one of the most pivotal and "defining" that Tolkien ever made (sorry, Rad. Perhaps not long enough for your taste )

Enjoy

[Radagast The Brown]

"Yet if in/ s_a_d_/ but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and men. This I /_a_ /to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though he/ _a_t/ here /_o_/ even, and I shall not look on your white halls again, from you and from/ _e/ I now/ _t_r/ shall arive. Farewell!"


I suppose I have many wrong ones.... It didn't go well... anyway, it's long enough, yes - I was talking about the 2 short lines people did in the last few pages.

[Beren3000]

Ok here's where you went wrong:
first line: "in"
second line: "he", "even" and "halls"
third line: "I", "now" and "arive". Other wise all correct.

Update:
Yet if i_ / s_a_d_ but a little while then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and men. This I /_a_ /to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though _e/_a_t/ here /_o_/ e_e_/, and I shall not look on your white _a_l_ again, from you and from/ _e/_ /n_w/ _t_r/shall a_i_e/. Farewell!"

[Radagast The Brown]

"Yet if it stands but a little while then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we wait here for ever, and I shall not look on your white _a_l_ again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!"

With some help.
