Did s/he die before Numenor sank?

Nilpaurion Felagund

05-14-2006 05:17 AM

Did s/he die before Numenor sank? No idea

Erm, we missed a lot of narrowing questions here. We have a saying in Filipino, 'Maraming namamatay sa maling akala.' In English, 'Assumptions kill.'

Hint hint. ;)

The tree Aldarion promised treehugger Erendis
he wouldn't chop down to make more ships? :)

Firefoot

05-15-2006 02:13 PM

Animal(s)?

Nilpaurion Felagund

05-15-2006 06:33 PM

We have lock-on.

The tree Aldarion promised treehugger Erendis
he wouldn't chop down to make more ships? :) I need the name.

Tuor of Gondolin

05-17-2006 05:54 AM

I've searched but so far haven't found a specific
name. Perhaps someone else can find it?

Nilpaurion Felagund

05-17-2006 07:59 PM

Hmmm . . .

It's Ancalimë.

Oh, and the thread is yours. :)

Tuor of Gondolin

05-18-2006 05:52 AM

Thanks. So, who named the tree Ancalime?
And was it in the Silmarillion or UT?

And a new item is available for guesses.

Numenorean

05-18-2006 07:32 AM

Well I'm a bit slow with this Tuor, but Anardil Aldarion names the tree in Unfinished Tales (P.202 of my edition):

Quote:

"In its slow Elven growth it was yet but twelve feet high, straight, slender, youthful, now budded with its winter flowers upon upheld branches pointing to the sky. It recalled to him his daughter, and he said: 'I will call you also Ancalimë. May you and she stand so in long life, unbent by wind or will, and unclipped!'

And for the current question: Is it sentient?

Tuor of Gondolin

05-18-2006 08:21 AM

Is it sentient?
Yes.

P.S. I was thinking the actual tree
Aldarion was alluding to was one different from
the elf gift, a native of Numenor that they encountered
when out riding. Thanks for the note, Numenorean .

Third Age?

Nilpaurion Felagund

05-18-2006 08:18 PM

Oh.

Sorry, Tuor. I though you meant that time Aldarion razed the forest near his home, save for Ancalimë.

*shrug* Oh, well.

First Age?

Tuor in Gondolin

05-19-2006 08:22 AM

Oops! :o

Third Age? Yes. Highly probable.

First Age? No.
