"You can learn much of them. They are a fair folk and wonderful,
and they have a power over the hearts of Men. And yet I think sometimes that it might have been better if we had never met them, but had willed it lowlier ways. For already they are ancient in knowledge; and they are proud and enduring. In their light we are dimmed, or we burn with too quick a flame, and the weight of our doom lies the heavier on us." Kind of a cross-post with Princess, I guess.

Very close. The speaker's a tough one, IMO.

I suggested Morwen for the speaker - was I right or wrong?

Walked!
If it's not Morwen, I thought it might be that servant whom Turin loved, for whom he had a special nickname: Sador was his real name, Labadal was Turin's name for him.

Midge has it. "walked in" and Sador/Labadal. All correct.

On, Shadowfax! We must hasten. Time is short. See! The beacons of Gondor are alight, ...
That's as far as I can easily get ... The speaker is Gandalf.

"Oh, Shadowfax! We must hasten. Time is short. See!
The beacons of Gondor are alight, /_a_l_n_/f_r/_i_/./ War is kindled. See, there is the fire of Amon Din, and flame in /_i_e_a_h/; and there they /_o/_p_e_i_g/_e_t/:/ _a_d_l/,/_r_l_s/,/_i_-R_m_o_/,/C_l_n_a_/,/a_d/_h_/H_l_f_r_e_/ o_/t_e/_o_d_r_/o_/R_h_n/./" Eee... I'm not good at these beacon names. I think Earniel has them memorized.

Speaker is correct, too, Varna.

Hilfirien on the border of Rohan.
I've played this particular quote on a different board. In the end we had to be allowed to reread the text (but then close the book) before answering. Even then I had trouble with some of those names. But Earniel was not playing on that board ...

All adds are right! The last two are probably the hardest, and least well known...

OH, Earn! You were so close with "Eilenath"... only one letter off!

Eh, can you tell me which one?
Maybe we can play the two remaining words by correct letters, instead of entire words?

"Trolls" fits... but I don't think that would be it.
I'll toss out a pure guess: 'Orolas' ?
