Eöl to Maeglin just before his (Eöl's, that is) execution in Gondolin.

Absolutely correct Luthien.

Please proceed!

There! Hopefully that makes it harder than any other variation on the same episode.

It was at the death of Beleg, about Túrin just after he realized what he had done.

So are these quotes that someone said or just quotes from the books?

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 04-02-2004, 03:13 PM

Indeed it is.

As far as I can tell from Phervasaion's introduction, they just have to come from a death or funeral scene from the books, is all. And so far we seem to really like the Silmarillion.

Must be because everybody dies in the Sil.

Seriously, that was my first impression of the book - "everybody dies!" Anyway:
