Quote Game - Part 10 - Page 45

***Valandil*** · 01-13-2010, 03:05 PM

Midge - good tries. In the third line; 'Sauron', 'staid' and 'open' are incorrect. The rest is correct.

I've always wondered about 'The Borders of Mordor' - like what selection of books they have there. And if it's nearly as good a place to shop as 'The Gap of Rohan'

"I wonder if this is a contrivance of the Enemy.
/They say in my land that he can/_o_e_n/the storms in the
Mountains of Shadow that stand upon the borders of Mordor.
/_e/_a_/s_r_n_e/_o_e_s/_n_/m_n_/a_l_e_."

Oh. Sauron doesn't even fit. Sharon does, though.

Edit: Just read your jokes! Those are funny! Haha.

***Valandil*** · 01-15-2010, 02:32 PM

Hey Midge - your additions are correct.

Thanks for the compliment.

Hmmm... in line with where you are these days - I wonder if Aragorn and Arwen were registered at those two spots?

***Varnafindë*** · 01-15-2010, 07:17 PM

govern the storms

/He/can/s_r_n_e/_o_e_s/and/mind/a_l_e_."

Midge · 01-16-2010, 12:09 PM

"I wonder if this is a contrivance of the Enemy.
They say in my land that he can govern the storms in the
Mountains of Shadow that stand upon the borders of Mordor.
He has strange lovers and many asleep."

Is the speaker Legolas?

***Valandil*** · 01-16-2010, 04:02 PM

Speaker is not Legolas - nor are 'lovers' or 'asleep' correct. The other words are all good.

However - I think that attempt '...he has strange lovers...' belongs in the All-Time Quoters Hall of Fame!

Count Comfect · 01-16-2010, 04:40 PM

many "allies"

***Valandil*** · 01-16-2010, 05:07 PM

'allies' is correct.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-16-2010, 05:25 PM

Is the speaker Gimli?

And is there only one word left now?

***Valandil*** · 01-16-2010, 06:35 PM

Not Gimli - and yes, I believe there is only one word left.

Count Comfect · 01-16-2010, 08:20 PM

strange "powers"?

***Valandil*** · 01-16-2010, 10:32 PM

'powers' is correct - we need only the speaker.

Well, you know me. When I can't think of the real word, sometimes you just need inspiration! Speaker: There's a prince from a southern kingdom, Named something like Amroth, or Imril or something that always has sounded elvish to me. Is it him? I'll look up his name (but not the quote) asap.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-21-2010, 05:03 PM

Do you mean Imrahil? I believe he is Prince of Dol Amroth, and it is said that there is Elvish blood in his line.

If it is correct, you are entitled to the next quote, though - I wouldn't have thought of him if you hadn't pointed him out.

***Valandil*** · 01-21-2010, 05:13 PM

Neither Imrahil nor Amroth.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-21-2010, 09:51 PM

Could it be Boromir?
It would make sense for him to talk of 'in my land' when they are away from it.

***Valandil*** · 01-22-2010, 12:04 AM

Yes - it was Boromir, as they were dealing with Caradhras!

Your turn, Varanfinde.

Midge · 01-22-2010, 10:13 AM

Imrahil. I tried to post it yesterday when I remembered it, but apparently entmoot+the LG NV2 does not mix well.

***Valandil*** · 01-22-2010, 12:06 PM

Close relative anyway - I think Imrahil was Boromir's uncle.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-22-2010, 02:56 PM

I'm not sure whether he was that close - but at least he terms himself "one who is a kinsman of the Lord Denethor".

Here's a new one:
