First age quotes
 
"She won't come back"

Galadriel55 11-13-2010 03:17 PM

Urwen, I have a feeling that no one can think of the answer for this one, so you'll probably have to give us another one.

Was it perhaps Brandir talking to Turin about Nienor Niniel???

Urwen 12-23-2010 04:04 AM

Nope. But close.

Hint: It involves my namesake...

Galadriel55 12-23-2010 09:25 AM

Is it when Turin asks why can't he say "Lalaith" anymore, and Morwen answers that she's dead?

Galadriel55 12-23-2010 09:41 AM

My bad - I just checked, and Sador Labadal said that, not Morwen. He was answering Turin's question as to what happened to Lalaith.

Urwen 12-23-2010 12:31 PM

Yup. Your turn

Galadriel55 12-23-2010 12:44 PM

Who said this one:

"And maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright."

Was it Galadriel saying that by any chance???:p

Yes it was! She said it to Melian when she questioned her about the Noldor and the reason for their return.
Go ahead!

Almesiva Moonshadow 12-27-2010 03:09 PM

Okay, here is an easy one::smokin:
"Here I have found what I sought not indeed"
:D

Galadriel55 12-27-2010 04:28 PM

Is that Beren to Thingol, talking about Luthien? When she brought Beren to Menegroth, and Thingol questioned him about what he was seeking in Doriath...?

Yep, you got it right. I said it was an easy one,didnt I?
Its your turn again...go ahead...:smokin:

Galadriel55 12-28-2010 12:20 PM

This one's either really obvious or pretty difficult:
"Surely there is healing in Aman?"

xMellrynxMaidenx 12-29-2010 02:15 AM

Was it Finwe?

Galadriel55 12-29-2010 11:04 AM

Correct!!!

xMellrynxMaidenx 12-29-2010 06:28 PM

"But the dawn is brief and the day full often belies its promise."

Galadriel55 01-07-2011 02:46 PM

I haven't forgotten about this thread, MellyrnMaiden, but I still can't find the answer! If it wasn't 1st age quotes we were supposed to guess, I'd say Gandalf said it. However, Gandalf didn't say anything such in the first age, so I'll have to think of someone else. Er................Melian?

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-11-2011 03:29 PM

Neither said it, Galadriel55 :D hehe.

Let me see if I can give a hint without giving it away, Hmm..

He had four siblings; two sisters, a brother and a half brother.

I've probably just given it away, too. :p If not and you still can't figure it out, I'll try for another hint.

Galadriel55 01-11-2011 04:30 PM

Would it be Fingolfin? After your clue, I thought it's Finarfin, but he doesn't speak much... So, my guess if Fingolfin.

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-11-2011 04:47 PM

I knew I would give it away. :p Yup, it's Fingolfin!

Galadriel55 01-11-2011 05:32 PM

Thanks! Yeah, you kind of gave it away when you said "half-brother". There aren't that many half-brothers in ME. :p
And cool avatar, btw!

"Blackheart! I have done thy bidding. But I hunger still."

Blind Guardian 01-11-2011 10:48 PM

Ungoliant!

Blind Guardian said, "Blackheart show me what you hold in hand." :)

Galadriel55 01-12-2011 06:19 AM

Correct, BG!

Blind Guardian 01-15-2011 12:42 PM

"Fair shall the end be, though long and hard shall be the road!"

Galadriel55 01-15-2011 01:03 PM

Was that Feanor, talking to the Noldor and Manwe's heralds when he was departing to ME?

Blind Guardian 01-15-2011 02:13 PM

&%^$...



I didn't think it was that easy! OK, your turn again.

Galadriel55 01-15-2011 02:29 PM

It wasn't that easy, it's just that I like that part very much, and I was rereading it recently.

"For this he was born into the world."

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-15-2011 04:44 PM

Ulmo said that I do believe :D

Galadriel55 01-15-2011 04:56 PM

That's right, MM!

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-15-2011 09:51 PM

"None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!"


I'll admit, I had to do a little digging to remember this one :D

Blind Guardian 01-15-2011 10:35 PM

Feanor, after the Kinslaying, when he got to Beleraind and burned the Swan Ships?

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-16-2011 04:34 PM

Correctamundo as Fonzie would say ;)

Blind Guardian 01-17-2011 12:31 PM

Okie...*goes to find Sil*

'Come! It is time to go. If you will, I will lead you."

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-17-2011 06:36 PM

Brandir said this to Niniel in hopes that she would flee with him from the dragon.

Sounds right, although I don't have my book to check.

Galadriel55 01-20-2011 06:14 AM

I'm quite certain that MellyrnMaiden got it right. ;)

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-20-2011 05:32 PM

I don't have my book handy on me right now, but I believe it was in chapter 21 (uncertain of the page number) or close to it.

"Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly."

I'm fairly certain everyone knows this one ;) but it's one of the ones I have memorized, given as I have previously stated, I don't have my book.

Galadriel55 01-20-2011 06:24 PM

That would be Gurthang - the only known thinking and speaking sword! :p
Turin asked it if it would give him a quick death, and Gurthang said yes. (It's a bit awkward thinking "it" said, isn't it?)

xMellrynxMaidenx 01-20-2011 11:41 PM

Correct ;) Indeed, it is a bit awkward. :p if a sword spoke to me, I don't think I would live long enough to tell the tale!
