Tuor of Gondolin · 05-11-2006, 05:49 AM

West of the Anduin?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-12-2006, 07:58 AM

Place? Nu-uh
West of the Anduin? Definitely

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-12-2006, 08:20 AM

A wizard?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-12-2006, 08:46 AM

EDIT: Third Age? No

That's why the BIG clue. I'm really sorry for the confusion.

Enedwaith . . .

A wizard? No

Numenorean · 05-12-2006, 10:25 AM

An Elf-friend?

Firefoot · 05-12-2006, 01:45 PM

Object?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-13-2006, 02:52 AM

An Elf-friend? Ummm . . . no
Object? Nope

Firefoot · 05-13-2006, 06:36 AM

King/Queen?

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-13-2006, 08:49 AM

A Numenorean?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-14-2006, 03:52 AM

King/Queen? Nope.
A Numenorean? Hmmm, let's say immigrant, so yes, sorta.

Firefoot · 05-14-2006, 05:06 AM

Did s/he die before Numenor sank?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-14-2006, 05:17 AM

Did s/he die before Numenor sank? No idea

Erm, we missed a lot of narrowing questions here. We have a saying in Filipino, 'Maraming namamatay sa maling akala.' In English, 'Assumptions kill.'

Hint hint.

Firefoot · 05-14-2006, 05:20 AM

Did s/he ever live in Numenor?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-14-2006, 05:25 AM

Did s/he ever live in Numenor? Yes

Firefoot · 05-14-2006, 05:41 AM

Um... the pair of birds the Elves gave to Erendis?

A person?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-14-2006, 05:46 AM

Um... the pair of birds the Elves gave to Erendis? No.
A person? No.

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-15-2006, 08:09 AM

The tree Aldarion promised treehugger Erendis
he wouldn't chop down to make more ships?

Firefoot · 05-15-2006, 02:13 PM

Animal(s)?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-15-2006, 06:33 PM

The tree Aldarion promised treehugger Erendis
he wouldn't chop down to make more ships?

I need the name.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-17-2006, 05:54 AM

I've searched but so far haven't found a specific
name. Perhaps someone else can find it?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-17-2006, 07:59 PM

It's Ancalimë.

Oh, and the thread is yours.

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-18-2006, 05:52 AM

Thanks. So, who named the tree Ancalime?
And was it in the Silmarillion or UT?

And a new item is available for guesses.

Numenorean · 05-18-2006, 07:32 AM

Well I'm a bit slow with this Tuor, but Anardil Aldarion names the tree in Unfinished Tales (P.202 of my edition):

Quote:

"In its slow Elven growth it was yet but twelve feet high, straight, slender, youthful, now budded with its winter flowers upon upheld branches pointing to the sky. It recalled to him his daughter, and he said: 'I will call you also Ancalimë. May you and she stand so in long life, unbent by wind or will, and unclipped!'

And for the current question: Is it sentient?

Tuor of Gondolin · 05-18-2006, 08:21 AM

Is it sentient?
Yes.

P.S. I was thinking the actual tree
Aldarion was alluding to was one different from
the elf gift, a native of Numenor that they encountered
when out riding. Thanks for the note, Numenorean .

Firefoot · 05-18-2006, 02:23 PM

Third Age?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 05-18-2006, 08:18 PM

Sorry, Tuor. I though you meant that time Aldarion razed the forest near his home, save for Ancalimë.

*shrug* Oh, well.

First Age?

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-19-2006, 08:22 AM

Oops!
