Guess: was that Gerontius Took?
[EDIT: and in English, the word Tolkien uses is "Thain" - which is actually an Old Anglo-Saxon term... I note you seem hesitant about what to call it and wonder if it's just from not running across that term - and modern English being a second language, I imagine grasping it's historical roots is a little harder! ] Last edited by Valandil : 11-11-2003 at 05:09 PM. |

Bull-roarer? Or was he one-and-the-same as Gerontius?

I think Tuor is correct, that was gonna be my guess...

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

Thanks. Since Radagast has left the building, I'll go ahead and post. (Hope you don't mind R the B!) Staying in the same family tree:
Which Chieftain of the Northern Dunedain was killed by wolves? (gotta hate the thought of THAT! whether they were actually over-sized Timber Wolves or the giant Hyena-variety wargs from PJ's movie!) |
