Possibly some more:

"For/ -a-k-e-s/ along/ i-/ w-r-h-p-u-,/ and/ the/ road/ -h-r-o-/ may/ yet/ make/ other/ worlds/ to/ be/ -i-t-/ to/ those/ that/ s-r-e/ -i-,/ so/ that/ the/ increase/ of/ their/ power/ shall/ find/ no/ end."

"For/ darkness/ alone/ is/ w-r-h-p-u-,/ and/ the/ -o-d/ thereof/ may/ yet/ make/ other/ worlds/ to/ be/ -i-t-/ to/ those/ that/ s-r-e/ -i-,/ so/ that/ the/ increase/ of/ their/ power/ shall/ find/ no/ end."

Firefoot 12-12-2004 07:36 AM

Getting closer...
 
"For/ darkness/ alone/ is/ w-r-h-p-u-,/ and/ the/ -o-d/ thereof/ may/ yet/ make/ other/ worlds/ to/ be/ -i-t-/ to/ those/ that/ s-r-e/ -i-,/ so/ that/ the/ increase/ of/ their/ power/ shall/ find/ no/ end."

Someone ought to have it soon.

the phantom 12-12-2004 02:07 PM

No wonder it looked familiar. I just read it earlier this week...

For darkness alone is worshipful, and the Lord thereof may yet make other worlds to be gifts to those that serve him, so that the increase of their power shall find no end.

Firefoot 12-12-2004 02:15 PM

Yeppers. :)

I believe the speaker is Thingol.

Thingol is right.

Just five words left.

Bingo! :)

Of one fair gem thou must be thief,
Morgoth's or Thingol's, loath or lief;
thou must here choose twixt love and oath!
If vow to break is still thee loath,
then Luthien must either die
alone, or death with thee defie
beside thee, marching on your fate
that hidden before you lies in wait.
Hopeless the quest, but not yet mad,
unless thou, Beren, run thus clad
in mortal raiment, mortal hue,
witless and redeless, death to woo.

Tuor of Gondolin 12-16-2004 12:18 PM

The quote is correct. Now only the speaker needs to be identified.

the phantom 12-16-2004 12:24 PM

Huan

Tuor of Gondolin 12-16-2004 12:29 PM

Yep.

Well, as Huan may have said when (presumably) getting back to Valinor,
(although exactly what was he? Maia?)

"HoME sweet HoME".

luthien-elvenprincess 12-25-2004 10:08 AM

Correct stuff so far...

But rumour of -i- r-n- through -n-b-n- t-a- he still -e-i-s Morgoth -;
and Morgoth has laid a curse upon him and all his kin.

luthien-elvenprincess 12-25-2004 10:25 AM

All correct so far...shouldn't be long now!

But rumour of -i- r-n- through -n-b-n- t-a- he still -e-i-s Morgoth;
and Morgoth has laid a curse upon him and all his kin.

the phantom 12-28-2004 07:51 PM

:) Back from vacation just in time to answer...

But rumour of him runs through Angband that he still defies Morgoth;
and Morgoth has laid a curse upon him and all his kin.

Yess, precious, it's tricksy Glaurung speaking.

the phantom 01-02-2005 10:05 PM

Change the first "will" to "wilt", then take it away Tuor.
