"It is plain that Thingol desires your death; but it seems that this doom goes beyond his purpose and that the Oath of Fëanor is again at work. For the Silmarils are cursed with an oath of hatred, and he that even names them in desire moves a great power from slumber; and the sons of Fëanor would lay all the Elf-kingdoms in ruin rather than suffer any other than themselves to win or possess a Silmaril, for the oath drives them. And now Celegorm and Curufin are dwelling in my halls; and though I, Finarfin's son, am king, they have won a strong /_o_e_/ in the realm,
and need /_a_y/ of their own /_e_p_e./
They have shown friendship to me in every need, but I fear that they will
show neither love nor mercy to you,
if your quest be told. Yet my own oath holds;
and thus we are all ensnared."

Finrod the valiant

Well done folks. It is indeed that hunk Finrod.

Your go Artanis.

Artanis · 08-23-2004, 02:28 PM

Thanks!

The king can have some grievence in this, but not the one you speak of!
To men at least I spoke long and often: Do good /_a_s/_n_o_p_e_e_d_n_./
As well might I ...

aw shucks, can't seem to get it!

Good start.

The king may have some grievance...
To (her?) at least I spoke long and often: no gold.....
As well might a truant boy..........

Artanis · 08-23-2004, 04:16 PM

'no gold' is wrong, the rest is right.

Some of it SGH solved.

(and some are plain guesses. Likely wrong)

Artanis · 08-24-2004, 01:33 AM

How about:

Artanis · 08-24-2004, 03:35 AM

'to' is right, 'word' is wrong.

***Rían*** · 08-24-2004, 07:33 PM

I tell you, Arty, I'm having a terrible time with this one. Is it in UT?

Artanis · 08-25-2004, 02:48 AM

Yes, it's in UT.

I think that at least the speaker could be guessed by now.

Beren3000 · 08-25-2004, 03:00 AM

Could it be Beleg Cuthalion mediating between Turin and Thingol?

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-25-2004, 03:04 AM

Yeah Beleg or maybe Turin.

Artanis · 08-25-2004, 03:04 AM

No, it's not Beleg.
It is a statement about the sad ending of a marriage, made by one of the parts.

Beren3000 · 08-25-2004, 03:08 AM

Ok, maybe Erendis, then?

Artanis · 08-25-2004, 03:14 AM

No, the other part.

Beren3000 · 08-25-2004, 03:24 AM

Now that's hard

!
Aldarion then.
Here is another try at the quote itself:
