Doesn't seem that has been discounted...

So is it a place?

LadyBrooke · 06-26-2011, 02:29 AM

I was thinking that places were people were living would be created...buildings and such, and of course even the natural landscapes seem to have been messed with, such as mountains being raised and such....

Galadriel55 · 06-26-2011, 07:12 AM

Living thing - not really
Object - no
Sentient - in a way/you could say so
Undead - no
Silent Watchers - no
Natural - as in, not crafted? As much as I'm tempted to confuse you all, I won't. "It" is natural.
Connected to Elves - yes, very!!
Present during the first age - yes
Present in more than one age - yes
Straight Road - no, it's much more "alive"

Present in both Valinor and ME? - After and before certain poits in history, yes.

Well, not only places. The forest is alive because it consists of living things, right? So what else could?

The desire of some elves for a realm/land
of their own independent of the Valar?

THIS IS NOT A CRAZY CONCEPT.

It works just like a forest does. You can touch/see/feel individual trees. They are there. But "forest" is a made-up word (almost a concept!) that is used to group all the trees that stand in a bunch. Now there could be other made up words grouping other things, can't there?

Mithalwen · 06-28-2011, 10:09 AM

Ah the Noldoras a kindred/race?

Galadriel55 · 06-28-2011, 10:28 AM

A kindred/race - BRILLIANT!!! It is one.

LadyBrooke · 06-28-2011, 10:55 AM

There's where I'm getting confused...I wouldn't consider those natural or alive.

Did they finish the journey to Valinor?

Mithalwen · 06-28-2011, 11:18 AM

The Vanyar?

Galadriel55 · 06-28-2011, 11:27 AM

Did they finish the journey to Valinor - yes, applause!

Vanyar - no, look broader.

Well, it's a race of people, and they are as natural as any animal... And "alive" just like a forest could be.

Mithalwen · 06-28-2011, 11:30 AM

Elveses?

LadyBrooke · 06-28-2011, 11:35 AM

Well, I suppose its all a matter of opinion...I would consider elves (as a group) alive but divisions within them, such as Noldor, Vanyar, Moriquendi, ect artificial concepts, created by the elves, much the same as say brands of electronics....

Calaquendi?

Galadriel55 · 06-28-2011, 03:06 PM

LBrooke got it! (Sorry, Mith...)

I'm sorry if I was confusing. I guess the divisions between Elves are artificial, but the Elves aren't....

Well your turn anyways!

LadyBrooke · 06-28-2011, 03:14 PM

Sorry Mith...

I'm ready now.

It wasn't too confusing...I just have a tendency to over think, I suppose. And I'm worried, so I'm not thinking too clearly...Amrod and Amras kittens aren't doing too well.

I nearly said High Elves but I didn't think of them as a race - not all Teleri are high elves..anyway I have enough on my plated atm,

Thanks...I'm just glad I got some pictures of them while they were still healthy. According to the vet, they had some hereditary disease that kept them from digesting food...

Mithalwen · 07-01-2011, 04:31 AM

Weapon?

So sorry about the kittens. My first kitten died at 12 weeks. It was horrible.

The next one lasted 18 years though....

LadyBrooke · 07-01-2011, 12:14 PM

Weapon has already been asked, sorry....

And thank you about the kittens...you think I'd be used to it by now, as we live out in the country, and we get all kinds of stray/dropped off pregnant cats, whose kittens end up dying because the mother was sick...at least this year, we've only lost 3, last summer we lost a dozen because some wild animal got into the barn where the strays were and attacked them...that was horrible.
