You guys did wonderfully overnight without any confirmations at all! Good guesses on the speakers but incorrect. One word left - the spacings are correct.

Not yet, but there are fairer things in
/_r_e_e_o_/ than a man could find elsewhere,
even in the lands of the Eldar.
But /mariners/ are men of two minds, at war with themselves;
and the desire of the /sea/ still /holds/ me.

Curufin · 04-15-2008, 10:51 AM

I haven't a clue what that last word is.

Tuor?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-15-2008, 11:08 AM

Should I give hints yet?

Not Tuor...

Curufin · 04-15-2008, 11:45 AM

Sure, start giving hints.

CÃ*rdan? (is going to go through all the mariners she knows.

)

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-15-2008, 12:01 PM

Hint #1: Until Cirdan, all the guesses so far had been in the speaker's family. That should at least narrow down the race.
Hint #2: The last missing word is a place, though that is probably obvious from the context already.
Hint #3: The "fairer things" he refers to, is a woman.

Curufin · 04-15-2008, 12:05 PM

Beren?

I knew it was a place, but I can't figure it out, although it probably (maybe) ends in -dor

***Earniel*** · 04-15-2008, 12:12 PM

Aldarion by any chance?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-15-2008, 12:12 PM

Aldarion it is!

Still one word left...

Curufin · 04-15-2008, 12:14 PM

Men, blah. Any more hints on the place? I've spent a good deal of time with that, and can't come up with anything.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-15-2008, 12:27 PM

You've got to study your Numenorian geography.

Don't be so down on humans. I hate to break it to you, but you are one.

Curufin · 04-15-2008, 12:55 PM

Eh, NÃºmenorian geography, bah humbug. And don't remind me.

I looked the answer up, so I know what it is now. It was driving me nuts.

Of course, now I can't answer it.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-15-2008, 01:55 PM

I've done that before. Hate when that happens.

(I'm really slipping up)

Word: Armenelos?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-15-2008, 09:46 PM

Armenelos is indeed the place where Aldarion first espied the lovely Erendis.

"Erendis, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea" ~Aldarion

You're up Valendil.

It is sad that we should meet only thus at the ending.
For the world is changing: I feel it in the water,
I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air.
I do not think we should meet again.

~Treebeard

I'm not certain about that "thus" or the last "should."

Curufin · 04-16-2008, 11:14 AM

I think the last 'should' should be 'shall'

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-16-2008, 12:42 PM

I believe you're probably correct.

***Valandil*** · 04-16-2008, 09:32 PM

Yes - all was correct, except for Curufin's correction - so, your turn, Curufin!
