You have, indeed, mastered it. Húrin's son's House, it is.

Please continue.

Controversy erupts in Downing Street. PM Blair is furious as the headlines roar:


Raah! Raided in No. Ten!

*wipes away tears, unnumbered, as the answer is revealed: Nirnaeth Arnoediad

The treasure awaits in lands perilous:

Gem of Hador: Lond Limron

Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin, i think. 'N' again, eh?

A bargain would be, colloquially, Rot'n cheap.

North Cape, eh?!

Wee crebain strikes again . . .

A Tiny Raven

Narvinye TA.

ie, January in the Third Age

Bethberry

Ah! Good guess.

The rule of thumb though, is that the new anagram's word or phrase begins with the last letter of the previous answer.

Try again!

Then surely it must be Envinyatar.

Bethberry

You have the right of it!

Continue, m'lady!

When the shadow of Mordor lengthened,

Harms came o'r.

Bethberry

The Black Captain breached the Rammas Echor.

The swain to his lovely lass -

Aw! Move nir'r!

...who was clearly a bit of a wet blanket, being the River Woman.

After Aragorn settled into his reign, the fruits of his benevolent kingship rolled in, all ultimately fattening. Courtiers were heard to remark of him that:

Man is lardi.

Nisimaldar, I believe, good poet.

A scent not nearly as sweet would arise from a

thin zoril.

Rothinzil (Numenorean Adunaic name for Vingilot) the ship of Eärendil.

All were present at the Inn, the...

Fig and Folt.

Is it just me, or have the anagrams become harder? I used to be able to DO them... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Presents from the Land of Gift, Lothlorien, I presume.

What wonders are wrought in philology when

vain men list for th' short ales.

Ah, Bilbo and his mighty quill!

Translations from the Elvish

He spits out salutations when he's ground them fine enough:

Chewer of Aves

LePetitChoux - They do make you dig, do they not?

That would be Finrod Felagund, the Hewer of Caves.

A poor diet can affect one's cave-hewing skills dramatically:

Fed on beans, I gag

Approaching that dark place again, Squatter? Siege of Angband, I'll postulate.

The spy escaped with the information. The government either had to:

Rob Chad, or gag all.

A sudden flame of inspiration! Dagor Bragollach

GB Shaw's opinion of Chesterton's religious leanings -

O! Hinder'd C. K.!

That, I think, would be Hidden Rock.

The alternative feared by miners throughout Cornwall:

Or I strike no tin there

A favorite of mine. Thank you!

"The high tide ebbs, the year will soon be spent;
And all your trees, Kortirion, lament . . ."

Kortirion in the Trees, I think it is. Although I had heard it called differently.

Here's one:

Tolkien's spectre to P.J. concerning Haldir.

Proon the Elf! Please rewrite!

Well over a month, and none took a guess!

Sleeper in the Tower of Pearl

Anyone care to have a go at one that starts with the letter 'L'?

I'm not so good at this, but reading this thread has given me some priceless laughs, so I'll take a shot in an effort to resurrect the game [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

A Hobbit Faced with a Giant Breakfast:

No Egg or Onion'll (escape him)

If I have the right of it, this is perhaps the beginning phrase to an ode to the Gladden Fields -

O! Loeg Ningloron . . .

Is this correct? Did you slip an extra 'O' in?

Eek! I told you I wasn't terribly good at it [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Loeg Ningloron it was... but I did manage to sneak in that extra 'O' [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] But if you want to make me look good, Evinyatar, and pretend it was intended to be that way... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sophia

No Inns available!

Forced to drink in the

bloo tent

[ April 13, 2003: Message edited by: Envinyatar ]

That would be NOBOTTLE, I presume.

Nobottle, it is! Please continue.

Graffiti in the movies:

ET karve door

Ah, finally I got one! 'Tis Everard Took. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Why so it is [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Frodo doubts Pippin's cooking skills (at the Weathertop? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ):

Took? Can he fry?

He cooks better than he picks locks apparently, Key of Orthanc

Sophia

Right you are, Sophia! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] And the floor is yours...

Why Dorothy never fell for the Tin Man:

Drear Chill of a Tin Luv

-Sophia

Awww, that's a cute one! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Is it Children of Iluvatar? If that's the case then there appears to be an extra 'L'...

Drat! my spelling's as bad as my math [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I always put the extra 'L' in Iluvatar (Illuvatar). But yes, it should be... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Go ahead Annunfuiniel.

Sophia

Thank thee! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, after very long considerations the ent kin urge forth.

Why, that must be Return of the King, a much heralded event, great book and eagerly anticipated film, to boot!
