Spears, spears...

The javelin that Eol threw at Aredhel?

Mithalwen · 06-11-2011, 02:11 PM

Yay!!!! Correct All yours... and thanks re the sig... I heard it recently and it amused me.

Galadriel55 · 06-11-2011, 02:20 PM

Ok, I have something...

I never really got the difference between spears and javelins, except that spears tend to be big, and javelins vary dramatically in size...

That's a nice siggy, with many ways to twist it. Like, how did the chicken get to the other side if it didn't cross anything?

Mithalwen · 06-11-2011, 03:05 PM

Well it did cross something... it was just it got back to the starting point Isuppose.

Well I know that the Australian Koories use throwing spears for hunting but I assumed a javelin was more like those used in modern field athletics and was thrown whereas a spear you might well hang onto - especially as a weapon rather than a hunting instrument. I can't imagine a javelin being the most useful thing for war since in that situation it is single use and a bow can be fired more economically.

Anyway

Person?

Galadriel55 · 06-11-2011, 03:11 PM

Person - no

LadyBrooke · 06-11-2011, 03:16 PM

Object?

Galadriel55 · 06-11-2011, 03:24 PM

Object - I wouldn't say so.

Pitchwife · 06-11-2011, 03:30 PM

Place?

Mithalwen · 06-11-2011, 03:37 PM

Geographical feature?

Person - no

Place - no
Geographical feature - not that either

I guess the object thing was confusing, so I changed it to no, cause, well, it's not.

Pitchwife · 06-11-2011, 06:18 PM

Something immaterial then (like a word, idea, concept or some such)?

Immaterial thing, used by the Elves - it is immaterial, but I can't say that it is "used" by Elves, even though they are envolved.

Mithalwen · 06-12-2011, 11:42 AM

So not osanwe kenta then.....

Hmmm is it the Girdle of Melian? Though that is used by the elves...

Unique to ME - I don't really understand the question, but I'd say no...

Mithalwen · 06-13-2011, 11:30 AM

OK by unique to middle earth I mean say the Girdle of Melian or the osanwe kenta or the straight road as opposed to telepathy or the north wind or foresight

Ok then... I still think it's not ME-tied. It could be... not exactly anywhere, but it doesn't have to be in ME.

Mithalwen · 06-13-2011, 12:19 PM

OK ... I may have to do some reading... I may be some time....

LadyBrooke · 06-13-2011, 12:43 PM

Immortality?

Galadriel55 · 06-13-2011, 01:46 PM

Immortality - no

Here's a hint: both Elves and Men could be involved. I can't imagine a Dwarf being involved, though. Also, not all Elves and Men are involved...

LadyBrooke · 06-13-2011, 02:18 PM

The choice of the Half-Elven?....but I wouldn't consider that more common then the Doom of Mandos....so...confused...

Galadriel55 · 06-13-2011, 02:20 PM

Not the choice of the half-elven. Although I do recall some peredhil being involved.

The choice that you mention is only for specific people (Half-Elves: not too common). The thing that I have in mind could apply to anybody, although as I said many characters don't "feel" it while others do.

LadyBrooke · 06-13-2011, 03:07 PM

I feel like I'm monopolizing the guessing, but the Sea Longing perhaps? It's something felt at least....

Yes!!!

I was looking for "the call of the Sea", or the Voice, but Longing is also acceptible.

Please proceed!

Mithalwen · 06-13-2011, 03:56 PM

Oh I thought sea-longing then discounted it and I can't think why... I think I thought of it only in connection with Elvses... anyway nice to have a new chooser - I can certainly use a breather...

That's what I also thought, but then I decided that... why not Men as well? Like Aldarion...

When my turn comes around again, I won't choose anything that unexplainable.

Is it a person, Brooke?

Mithalwen · 06-13-2011, 04:34 PM

Ooh I thought you hadn't read UT! I suppose cos I live a quarter mile from the sea i take it for granted!

I haven't read UT... but the Enc. of Arda helped...

There's something magical about any kind of water, not only the sea, even swamp water (although that's likely to be magical in a bad sense)

I should shut up now and not hyjack the thread.

LadyBrooke · 06-13-2011, 05:36 PM

I forgot about Aldarion too...Anyways, glad it makes you happy to have a new chooser Mith.
