Never-ending indeed. Read The Children of Hurin instead - just as depressing, but read as a narrative it's still better than the UT version (with all its interruptions). I always skip the Narn when I read anything in UT, but I read CoH and enjoyed the story (apart from the depression).

But the reason I say this - I felt sort of guilty solving, but I love those characters so much (father, brothers... you know! ) - but I'm out of town for a few days and won't be able to monitor progress on a solution. I leave early tomorrow morning. So - let someone else complete the solve, and I'll be back soon.

Okay!
Varna - where is "The Children of Hurin"? That sounds like it might be in a HoME, which I'm only fortunate to own ... I think the first book of lost tales.

It's not in HoME, it's a book of it's own, published last year or so. Christopher Tolkien finally put all the bits of narrative together in one story.

If I may make a guess, would one of those names be Arotan? (Just to be back on topic ...)

Unfortunately not. I'll tell you that all the current consonants in the names are correct and do not need to be changed.

Yay, Val's back!
That is the purpose for which you are called hither. Called, I say, though I have not called you to me, Is the speaker Elrond?

You're correct on the speaker - and the words you tried to solve.
Don't stop now...

Still all correct Varnafinde - except for an error on my part. In transposing, I switched 'here' and 'met'. Quote as now solved so far - with the correction:
"That is the purpose for which you are called hither. Called, I say, though I have not called you to me, strangers from distant lands. You have come and are here met, in this very nick of time, by chance as it may seem. /_e_/i_/i_/n_t/_o/./_e_i_v_/r_t_e_/t_a_/i_/i_/s_/o_d_r_d/_h_t/_e/, /_h_/s_t/_e_e/,/_n_/n_n_/o_h_r_/, /m_s_/n_w/_i_d/_o_n_e_/f_r/_h_/p_r_l/_f/_h_/w_r_d." Speaker: Elrond

Again - all correct. Just two words left to solve.

"That is the purpose for which you are called hither.
Called, I say, though I have not called you to me, strangers from distant lands. You have come and are here met, in this very nick of time, by chance as it may seem. Yet it is not so. Believe rather that it is so ordered that we, who sit here, and none others, must now find/_o_n_e_/for the peril of the world." counsel

'yet' and 'counsel' are the final correct adds. Your turn, Midge.
