And in English...
 

Sorry to break up the flow of this quiz, but I couldn't resist.

Christ I, lines 104-8, tr. S.A.J. Bradley.

Tolkien thought that Earendel was a name for one of the stars, possibly Venus as the morning star. Although here it refers to Christ, he notes that in the Blickling Homilies (mid tenth century) it is used to refer to John the Baptist.

I'm too tired to think one up at the moment: I'll try to it tomorrow during school. Somebody PM me and remind me about it. :p

1)Black Lighthouse
2)Middle-Earth
3)Toy+final-T
4)the 9
5)Fine yell at me ___________ because i did a good thing!(a tower)
6)an old rival

New puzzle!!!
 

4) Fellowship of the Ring?

nope

1. Eye of Sauron?
2. Arda?
4. Nazgul?

4) Riders? or Walkers if not riders.

1. Barad-dur?
5. Orthanc?

3: Legolas (Lego + 'last' - 't')

Would the password be Balrog by any chance?

On that basis, might 6. be Gil-Galad?

And the confusing nr 5 Orthanc? Like in "...or thank...". But in that case there's should be a "me" after the long _____ I guess...

EDIT: Sorry, missed Firefoot's answer in some way...

4. Ring Wraiths?

Squatter has the password and all those answers are right

baradur
arda
legolas
ring wraiths
orthanc(good work on this one) :D
Gil-galad

I'm a bit out of practice with this thread, but I'll see what I can do for you.

1. Throw a station to nobleman.
2. Sailor and other crewmembers, followed by short fairy, reach highest heaven
3. Faelivrin. Fail at everything initially, before fifty-four cut rings provide a pseudonym.
4. Charge is reduced before storm over point, so island is reached.
5. Advance, we hear, leads one to ill-starred restorer
6. Mighty hunter (note 50) brings flower

3. Faelivrin?

Certainly is
 

Indeed so, Firefoot.

2. Elendil?

Or is it Eärendil for the second one?

Keep trying
 

Neither, I'm afraid.

Get the password before I forget it
 

The last time I posted a password here it was solved within two days. Can it be that the loremasters of old have wholly forsaken this thread?

Here's the current password again:

1. Throw a station to nobleman.
2. Sailor and other crewmembers, followed by short fairy, reach highest heaven
3. Faelivrin. Fail at everything initially, before fifty-four cut rings provide a pseudonym.
4. Charge is reduced before storm over point, so island is reached.
5. Advance, we hear, leads one to ill-starred restorer
6. Mighty hunter (note 50) brings flower

2. Tarmenel?
4. Tol Galen?
5. Loni?
6. Nimrodel?

The Password, friend, is MELLON.

Well spoken
 

Welcome back, Turambar. Long time, no see.

You're right on all counts. Fancy having a stab at #1?

1. Castamir. Throw a station to nobleman.
2. Tarmenel. Sailor and other crewmembers, followed by short fairy, reach highest heaven
3. Faelivrin. Fail at everything initially, before fifty-four cut rings provide a pseudonym.
4. Tol Galen. Charge is reduced before storm over point, so island is reached.
5. Lóni. Advance, we hear, leads one to ill-starred restorer
6. Nimrodel. Mighty hunter (note 50) brings flower

Password: Mellon. A straightforward end to a tortuous path.

[EDIT]: Updated to take account of Saucepan's solution to the last clue.

Well, it's a 6 letter word ending in "AM" that is a nobleman (or means "nobleman"), but what it is exactly is escaping me. :confused:

You're right about the meaning, but not the number of letters or the word's ending.

Got it!

Throw = Cast
a = a
Station = Mir (the space station)

Castamir was a Gondorian noble before seizing the throne.

Right . . . that's what I meant. :D

Should I try to come up with one or has this game faded like a three age old wraith ?

Perhaps it shall be reinvigorated with a fresh question. In other words, yes please do. :)

At last another password
 

Yes, Saucepan, the first answer is Castamir.

I think it was just my clues that stalled the thread, Turambar. There seems to be plenty of interest in it.

1. Columbus on the wild blue, stern, where eagles dare.
2. Torn blanket was a faithful friend.
3. A ghoulish time, reportedly.
4. Daffy Duck’s imprecation in writing.
5. Circle after that fellow, and find the island to come.
6. Courage destroyed those who could not flee.
7. A passenger on the small street, that returning man.
8. A menace about their writing.

glares at Charybdis, foolishly :p

I'm on a roll ... :D

1. Crissaegrim (Cris Colombus; grim = stern)
2. ?
3. Rethe (Sounds like wreath)
4. Cirth (Daffy’s rendering of “curse”)
5. Himring (Him = that fellow; ring = circle)
6. Olvar (Anagram of “valor”)
7. Strider (St = small street; rider = passenger)
8. Tehar (Anagram of threat; threat = menace)

The Password is CARCHOST

I knew I shouldn't have taunted Charybdis. :(

For completeness' sake ...
 

2. Aghan? (A torn Afghan blanket?)

:eek: Holy Cryptologists, Batman!

Remember the scene in the movie when the Oathbreakers swept through the Pelennor, simultaneously destroying Sauron's army and any remaining similarity between the movie and the book?

That's what The Saucepan Man just did to my puzzle. http://www.minastirith.com/ubb/icons/icon21.gif

:stares in awe:

It was beautiful...:rolleyes:

Are you calling me an amorphous green blob? :eek: ;)

This one should be fairly straightforward ...

1. Vala lost weight after dog turned traitor.
2. Latecomer buries article in religious location ...
3. … accompanied by friend visiting place with ring.
4. Key player in polo ring.
5. Forest native to feel ill after consuming girl, we hear.

1. Ulfang ?
5. Olorin ?

The likeness is truly frightening ... ;)

Neither of those is correct, I am afraid, although one of them is in the right vicinity ...

Ah - #2 and #3 are Alatar and Pallando. (Altar + "a"; Pal + land + "o")

Correct! :)

1. Vala lost weight after dog turned traitor.
2. Alatar Latecomer buries article in religious location ...
3. Pallando … accompanied by friend visiting place with ring.
4. Key player in polo ring.
5. Forest native to feel ill after consuming girl, we hear.
