/rested/
/serenity/

***Valandil*** · 02-16-2009, 10:18 PM

"Nay! Let us make war awefull!
Have we not rested from strife overlong,
and is not our serenity now /_e_e_e_/?
Shall one alone contest with us for ever?"

Those words that come out all vowels in the puzzle are TOUGH!

It sounds familiar, but I don't recall the speaker - or even the context.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-17-2009, 09:27 AM

Rested is correct. Serenity is not.

Hard to know where to begin guessing when there's not a single consonant showing in a word.

***Varnafindë*** · 02-17-2009, 11:52 AM

and is not our /s_r_n_t_/ now /revered/?/

Doesn't really make sense, though ...

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-17-2009, 02:03 PM

It isn't "revered" but I'll give a hint: the first and last letters are correct.

***Valandil*** · 02-17-2009, 11:13 PM

'receded'?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-18-2009, 10:36 AM

Nope. Not yet.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-20-2009, 10:01 AM

Oops, my bad. It isn't "awfull" either.

So three more words left:

Nay! Let us make war /_w_f_l_/!
Have we not rested from strife overlong,
and is not our /s_r_n_t_/ now /_e_e_e_/?
Shall one alone contest with us for ever?

***Valandil*** · 02-20-2009, 12:41 PM

OK - I knew 'aweful' just had one 'l' - but wondered if it was an archaic spelling.

Then how about 'swiftly'?

I still haven't come up with those other two.

***Valandil*** · 02-20-2009, 12:43 PM

The moment I posted, I looked again and these hit me:

'strength' and 'renewed' - are those right?

I don't know speaker - but I'll guess... maybe, Turin?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-20-2009, 02:21 PM

You've got it!

The quote, anyway. Speaker isn't Turin.

Go back further.

***Valandil*** · 02-22-2009, 08:46 AM

Feanor?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-23-2009, 04:22 PM

Not yet.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-24-2009, 12:35 PM

Ok, I guess it's hint time. The speaker was both older and stronger than any of the guesses so far.

***Varnafindë*** · 02-24-2009, 06:19 PM

One of the Valar then, perhaps?

But I wouldn't know which one ...

Count Comfect · 02-24-2009, 07:24 PM

***Valandil*** · 02-24-2009, 08:50 PM

Mandos?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-25-2009, 07:38 PM

Not yet.

You're on the right track now, though. Think of who might show such eagerness to fight the enemy.

***Valandil*** · 02-26-2009, 12:09 AM

Tulkas?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-26-2009, 01:35 PM

Tulkas it is.
