'And after that we must guess the riddles, if we are to choose our course rightly.'

LOTR, Aragorn

If (and if) I got this one right, the next one is quite possibly the shortest quote to grace the Palantir of Fortune:

"---- -------!"
.

Blind Guardian · 04-29-2010, 12:48 AM

T

This should be easy!

Eorl of Rohan · 04-29-2010, 04:06 AM

You think?

"---- --t-----!"

Pitchwife · 04-29-2010, 07:12 AM

I think so, too.

"Aure entuluva!" - Húrin's battle cry in the Nirnaeth.

Blind Guardian · 04-29-2010, 11:01 AM

Oh ****, it wasn't even in English!

...It blocks off swearing...? cool!!

Tuor in Gondolin · 04-29-2010, 11:32 AM

"e"s?

Aganzir · 04-29-2010, 12:32 PM

Yes Eorl you got it right, but it's usually polite to wait for the original poster of the quote to confirm it before posting a new one.

Blind Guardian · 04-29-2010, 02:04 PM

So Pitchwife what's the new one?

Pitchwife · 04-29-2010, 02:32 PM

*points up to Agan's post*
I'm waiting for Eorl to confirm my guess first, like a good boy.
By the way, Blind Guardian, welcome to the Downs and enjoy your death, metal or not.

Blind Guardian · 04-29-2010, 03:43 PM

Thanks, though I'm more a Pile of Bones now

Pitchwife · 04-29-2010, 03:49 PM

Yes, your decomposition is progressing nicely

Then, Aganzir, I must apologize for the breach of decorum.
I suspected as much but my impatience got the better of me; I promise to use my better judgment next time.

Hey, Blind Guardian. Welcome to the Palantir of Fortune

The answer is "Aure Entuluva", translated as "The Day Shall Come Again." The floor is yours, Pitchwife.

Blind Guardian · 04-29-2010, 11:53 PM

One of BG's songs in the album Nightfall In Middle-Earth (about the Silmarillion) had that in it.

I kinda forgot that you had to clear it, then Pitchwife could continue

Thanks, I guess. Nice forum.
