Once again, he's HUMAN!!!! Same for Ioreth. For a non-human 'F':

Feanor: best of the Children, creater of the Silmarils. Mentioned by Gandalf in the Two Towers to Pip when riding to Minas Tirith. Consumed by grief and rage, went nuts, killed some Elves, stole some ships, made an oath...

As for 'I', I'm drawing a blank, but please remember the NON-HUMAN requirement.

Lovely description from you too, Horse maiden. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Btw, where did you get your avatar?

K - King of Angmar. The Lord of the Nazguls, and a nasty piece of work, although he has some nice descriptions - 'Shadow of Despair', for one, something I would consider as a PT. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 08-20-2003 02:40 PM

P for Elrond Peredhil, father of Elrohir, Elladan, and Arwen and bearer of Vilya.

Amanaduial, I got my avatar by searching around on Google for Jack Sparrow. Took me a while, but I got it.

Evisse the Blue 08-20-2003 03:05 PM

R for Rory Brandybuck who received a dozen bottle of Old Winyards from Bilbo and who wasn't concerned at all about his abrupt leaving as he hadn't taken the vittles with him.

Arwen Imladris 08-20-2003 03:51 PM

Ted Sandyman: He is a hobbit who owned the mill in Hobbiton. He was one of Lotho Sackville-Baggins' followers during the War of the Ring.

Evisse the Blue 08-20-2003 05:23 PM

Sophia - for your letter there could be Ori - the dwarf who wrote in that book they found near Balin's tomb.

Cinderella 08-20-2003 06:32 PM

Argh! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Sorry about my very stupid mistake a few posts up... Honestly, Ioreth.... Thanks to Beren for making up for my temporary (I swear!) stupidity!

Let's try this again....
U is for Uruk-Hai a strain of orcs bred by Sauron to be used as soldiers.

Evisse the Blue 08-21-2003 03:29 PM

V for Varda, Elbereth, Lady of Stars, wife of Manwe, whom Galadriel sings about.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 08-21-2003 04:51 PM

W is for Woses, who were not human (I think).

The Saucepan Man 08-21-2003 06:24 PM

I'm afraid that they were, Horse-Maiden. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

How about W for Wandlimb, an Entwife whom Teebeard recalls when telling the tale of the Entwives to Merry and Pippin.

Kaiserin 08-23-2003 03:30 AM

X is for Shadowfax, the amazing Meara that Gandalf "borrowed" from Theoden.

alquadae 08-23-2003 04:23 AM

"YRCH!" said the Elf in a hissing whisper,and cast on to the flet the rope- ladder all rolled up.
"Orcs!" said Frodo. ........"

The Saucepan Man 08-25-2003 05:10 PM

Z for Zaragamba, a Hobbit family, the translation of which from the Red Book is Oldbuck.

New topic! How about descriptive words that can be linked to a specific (named) character.

A is for Adventurous, which might be applied to Bilbo, at least when under the influence of his Tookish side, and certainly in comparison to the majority of Hobbits.

Evisse the Blue 08-25-2003 05:24 PM

B is for Bold , Boromir the Bold, "he tarries and I grieve" [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Faye Took 08-25-2003 06:13 PM

C is for Courage, which I'd say Samwise Gamgee has most throughout the trilogy ^_^

The Saucepan Man 08-25-2003 06:30 PM

D is for Despair, exhibited by Denethor.

Hey, extra points if you match the description and the character to the letter. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 08-25-2003 10:33 PM

E is for Energy, which Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli showed in their tireless pursuit of the Uruk-hai that stole the hobbits.

Kaiserin 08-26-2003 12:07 AM

F is for faithfulness, which we see in Samwise Gamgee.

Evisse the Blue 08-26-2003 03:08 AM

G is for Gleaming, which Galadriel, Glorfindel and Gil-galad all do very well.

(ok, I just wanted the extra points... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

Feanor of the Peredhil 08-26-2003 07:21 AM

H is for hail-fellows which describes Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas quite nicely:

a pleasant or congenial companion

Fea

The Saucepan Man 08-26-2003 11:25 AM

I is for Intrepid, like Isengar Took who went to sea, certainly an intrepid feat by Hobbit standards.

Feanor of the Peredhil 08-26-2003 12:04 PM

J is for jabberwocky- a word that describes Bombadil's singing very well.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 08-26-2003 11:05 PM

Hurray for Jabberwocky! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

K is for Kingly, a word that describes the manner of Aragorn.

Feanor of the Peredhil 08-27-2003 07:00 AM

Why thank you for the huzzahs.

L is for Languid, which really describes Frodo excellently as they near Mordor.

Arien 08-27-2003 07:59 AM

M is for malevolent which is what Morgoth or Melkor (which ever you prefer [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) was.

[ August 27, 2003: Message edited by: Arien ]

Feanor of the Peredhil 08-29-2003 08:19 AM

N is for nefarious, which describes Melkor (so much that they stopped calling him that and used "Morgoth" instead).

Fea

Evisse the Blue 08-29-2003 12:44 PM

O is for Omniscient, who is only Illuvatar - and to an extent, Gandalf in LOTR [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

LOL for Jabberwocky! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sindae 09-09-2003 02:29 PM

peace-loving which describes the character of the Hobbits, especially Sam's
