Sleep while you may...
...as soon as news of our deed reaches the Enemy.

Further solves all correct. I think that leaves one word and speaker.

"Sleep while you may. But the Captain will return,
if he is unhurt; and when he comes we shall depart swiftly. We shall be pursued as soon as news of our deed reaches the Enemy, and that will not be long." I'm getting something along the lines of either Helm's Deep, or the cleansing of Isengard parts... I'll guess ... it doesn't seem like one of the Company, so maybe.. Elfhelm? Scratch that. I know when it was spoken, but the name of the speaker I am unsure of. Mablung or Damrod... fifty-fifty here. Mablung?

Mablung it is, and the quote's all right. Your turn, Midge!

Wow Midge... you've REALLY started going for the long ones!
OK, as one sets about to eat an oliphaunt (in small bites), here goes: "For mithril. The wealth of Moria was not in gold and jewels, the /t_y_/ of the /_w_r_e_/; nor in iron, /_h_i_/s_r_a_t/. Such things they found here, it is true, especially iron; but they did not need to delve for them: all things that they /_e_i_e_/ they could/_ b_a_n/_n/_r_f_i_/. For here alone in the world was found Moria-silver, or true-silver as some have called it: Mithril is the Elvish name. The Dwarves have a name which they do not tell. Its worth was ten times that of gold, and now it is /_e_o_d/_r_c_/; for /_i_t_e/ is _e_t/ above ground, and even the /_r_s/ have not d_l_e/ here for it. The /_o_e_/ lead away north /_o_a_d_/ Caradhras, and down to darkness. The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin's Bane. Of what they brought to light the Orcs have gathered nearly all, and given it in tribute to Sauron, who /_o_e_s/ it." Gandalf?

Such things they found here, it is true, especially iron; but they did not need to delve for them: all things that they desired they could obtain in traffic.

Its worth was ten times that of gold, and now it is beyond price; for little is left above ground, and even the Orcs dare not delve here for it.

Okay... cross post with Val. His adds are correct. Everything except Varna's "cores" and his original "have" were correct, but both have been fixed in this version! Yay! Keep guessing those last words and the speaker!

Iron, their servant
And Val has already guessed Gandalf. I second his guess

Well, way to go me, missing the original speaker guess, which was indeed quite correct.
Other adds are right, too! Your turn, G1!

I hadn't even realized I solved the last word! On to the quote:

I think Varnafinde edited another word into her last post, after you made yours.
Sneaky, VF... sneaky!

It is fifteen leagues thence to the vale of the Morgulduin,
if they went straight south; and then they would be /_t_l_/ five leagues westward of the accursed Tower. At /_w_f_e_t/ they would not come there before today, and maybe they have not come there yet. Indeed I see what you fear. But the /_a_k_e_s/ is not due to their venture. It began yestereve, and all Ithilien was under shadow that night. It is clear to me that the Enemy has long planned an assault on us, and /_t_/hour had already been determined before ever the travelers left my keeping. ~Faramir

Only one word wrong, and Faramir is the speaker, so only a few left!
