Balan. He took the name Beor (meaning &quot;Vassal&quot;) after he pledged service to Finrod.

Name the other two clans of men whom Beor spoke of, and indicate which one he said &quot;Was sundered in speech with them&quot;.

Re: A quote

I believe Beor distinguished the House of Hador from the House of Haleth. The Haladin were sundered in speech with them.

Re: A quote

Why did the Valar give Elenna to the Edain? (&amp; I suppose the answer should say what Elena was.)

Re: A quote

Elenna, a Quenya name for the isle of Nśmenor, was given to those Edain who fought bravely in the War of Wrath against Melkor as a reward.
&quot;Elenna&quot; means &quot;starwards&quot;, because on their journey to Nśmenor, the Edain followed Čarendil high up in the sky. One could also assume that it hints on the geographical form of the island, which looks like a five-pronged star.
Right?

Dainhir of Morthond“s two sons fell in the Battle of the Pellenor Fields. How did they die, and what were their names?

Remember the fallen!

Re: A quote

Cool, normally, I“m not good at guessing <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Oh well, it“s hard to make up sooo many questions in such few time, but...

Treebeard sang:
&quot;In the willow-meads of Tasarinan I walked in the Spring.
Ah! the sight and the smell of the Spring in Nan-tasaion!
And I said that was good.&quot;
Where is Nan-tasarion, and who said that they will meet again there, at the end of all times?

Re: A quote

Beleriand is correct, but what name does Nan-tasarion have on the map (Sindarin form), and, well, the Ent-wives, could be, but it“s not explicitly there...someone else said it when the two of them departed...

Re: A quote

Nan-tasarion, Sindarin: Tasarinan, also Nan-tathren. I'm damned if I know who vowedto meet there. I associate it with Tuor and Celebrindal (and with Earendil). I dont reember a passage about meeting.

Re: A quote

It“s in TLOTR:
&quot;Then in the willow-meads of Tasarinan we may meet in the Spring. Farewell!&quot;
Since Nan-Tathren is correct, I“ll provide you with the hint that this farewell is in the appropriate chapter - &quot;Many partings&quot;.

Re: A quote

Hmmm...close, so very close...well, I“ll give it to you.

Celeborn said that they will mett again, but it was in fact Galadriel who said that they will meet in Nan-Tathren specifically.
But since you will say &quot;Galadriel&quot; as soon as I post that Celeborn is wrong anyway, you can go ahead.
Although half of the credit goes to Galpsi, who answered the first part... tricky one for the judge... Go on, whoever has a good one.

Nay, it“s just that as soon I would have told you Celeborn was wrong, you would have realized it was Galadriel.
