"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.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-08-2008, 05:03 PM

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

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

Midge · 10-08-2008, 11:01 PM

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.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-09-2008, 09:20 AM

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

Midge · 10-09-2008, 03:32 PM

Huh. Lookie there. Post later... Or now.

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.

Eee... I'm not good at these beacon names. I think Earniel has them memorized.

That's downright impressive of Earn! Speaker is correct, too, Varna.

Midge · 10-10-2008, 12:39 AM

All adds are correct.

***Varnafindë*** · 10-10-2008, 03:16 AM

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 ...

Hardly, I may have at some point, but now only a few that I thought were pretty names linger in memory.

"On, Shadowfax! We must hasten. Time is short. See! The beacons of Gondor are alight, calling for aid. War is kindled. See, there is the fire on Amon Din, and flame on /_i_e_a_h/; and there they go speeding west: Nardol,/_r_l_s/,/_i_-R_m_o_/,/Calenhad, and the Halifirien on the borders of Rohan."

***Valandil*** · 10-10-2008, 07:23 AM

"Min-Rimmon"?

Midge · 10-11-2008, 01:33 AM

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

***Earniel*** · 10-11-2008, 03:38 AM

*digs deep in memory* Eilenath?

Midge · 10-12-2008, 11:52 PM

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

***Earniel*** · 10-13-2008, 04:17 AM

Eh, can you tell me which one?

Maybe we can play the two remaining words by correct letters, instead of entire words?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-13-2008, 11:33 AM

I'm going to guess Eilenach.

***Valandil*** · 10-13-2008, 09:28 PM

"Trolls" fits...

but I don't think that would be it.

I'll toss out a pure guess: 'Orolas' ?
