You should know this.

Turgon

Varda

The wording in my book for this quote is different but the meaning is similar.

Elfarmari
04-23-2002, 08:16 PM
Huor to Turgon, of Earendil.

I don't have a copy of the Silmarillion, so if anyone has a quote, post it! I am trying to get it out of the library, so hopefully I can post my own quote soon!

Turgon
04-23-2002, 08:51 PM
Okay Elfamari, here's another one as requested,

Turgon
04-25-2002, 11:00 PM
Feanor to... er... well whoever was stupid enough to listen to him:p

'If the Men of Hithlum are so wild and fell, of what sort are the women of that land? Do they run like deer clad only in their hair?'

It's funny 'cause it's true!!!

Elfarmari
05-03-2002, 02:17 AM
Saeros to Turin

I now have my own copy of the Silmarillion!

"Surely that is a Silmaril that shines now in the West?"

Turgon

Yay Elfalmari...!
Maedhros to Maglor.
'Hail Earendil, bearer of the light before the Sun and Moon! Splendour of the Children of the Earth, star in the darkness, jewel in the sunset, radiant in the morning!'

Elfarmari

************************************************** ****************
"Nay! Thou art valiant: beyond all whom I have met."

Eldanor
05-19-2002, 04:44 AM
Glaurung to Túrin, in Nargothrond? (It was not easy to me to tranlate it to the spanish, my original language, from that old english)

Ok, the Drauglin quote was very easy, so this one will be a little more difficult."There is blood in the top of the hill"

Niniel
05-21-2002, 09:32 AM
Túrin to Mîm?

Eldanor
05-21-2002, 07:16 PM
Very, very close, Níniel...

Niniel
05-22-2002, 09:53 AM
Yes, I reread it yesterday, it was Angrod.

Eldanor
05-24-2002, 03:54 AM
eeeh... "cold-cold!" You were closer before. :D
It wasn't Angrod, maybe he says the same phrase, but I don't believe it. That wasn't my intention.

Turgon
05-24-2002, 04:17 AM
The closest I can get to your quote Eldanor is this.

'And as the men of Turin's band drew near, the sun westering broke through the clouds, and fell upon the crown; and the seregon was all in flower. Then one among them said: 'There is blood on the hill-top'

So was it the 'one'? I think it must be...

Okay...

'A darkness lies behind us, and we have turned our backs on it...'

Niniel
05-24-2002, 10:04 AM
I believe that in the UT it is Angrod who said it. But maybe I'm confused now. Turgon, is yours Túrin to Níniel?

Turgon
05-26-2002, 09:59 AM
I believe that in the UT it is Angrod who said it. But maybe I'm confused now.

Niniel in UT it is Androg who says 'There is Blood on the hill-top'.
So don't worry - you're not going crazy. But in the Sil no name is given for the character who speaks it...

As for my quote - no it's not Turin to Niniel... :p

Eldanor
05-29-2002, 03:52 AM
(Turgon) Is that quote from the UT or one of those books? I only have LoTR and the Sil...

Turgon
05-29-2002, 03:57 AM
'A darkness lies behind us, and we have turned our backs on it...'
Don't worry Eldanor - it's from The Sil...;)

Eldanor
05-29-2002, 04:08 AM
maybe Galadriel to Melian, or Angrod to Thingol, about the Curse of Mandos and the kills in Alqualondë?

Elfarmari
06-04-2002, 09:00 PM
my friend is borrowing my copy of the sil, but I think that one is said by one of the first Men encountered by the Elves, about where they have come from.

Turgon
06-08-2002, 04:22 PM
Okay Elfamari - it was Beor to Felagund - so you almost had it... do you want to post a quote?

Elfarmari
06-10-2002, 05:05 AM
I can't right now, my friend is still reading my copy of the sil, anyone else have a quote to post?

Elfarmari
06-19-2002, 02:50 AM
could someone with a copy of the sil please post a quote?

Niniel
06-19-2002, 10:20 AM
'Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my eyes thou shalt hear.'

Too easy maybe, but I can't think of anything else right now.

Ithrynluin
06-19-2002, 02:29 PM
Melkor to Hurin.

"O woe-begotten spirit, fall now into dark oblivion, and forget for a while the dreadful doom of life."

Turgon
06-20-2002, 01:59 AM
Tinuviel to Carcharoth.

'Now let thy children beware! For there shall walk a power in the forests whose wrath they will arouse at their peril.'

Niniel

Sorry, no new quote...

How about this?

Eä!

:D

Elfarmari
06-21-2002, 02:45 AM
ooh, ooh, I know this one! :D
Illuvatar (sp?), bringing earth into existence.
sorry, I <still> don't have my copy of the sil, so I don't have a quote either, sorry

Elfarmari
06-28-2002, 03:47 AM
does anyone have a quote to post??

Turgon
06-28-2002, 03:53 AM
Okay I'll post a quote...
'Hail, son of Hurin. Well met!'

I'm taking a bit of a guess here -- wasn't that Glaurung?

Ithrynluin
06-30-2002, 01:53 PM
Yeah,I think it's Glaurung too.

Now for my question:
A:Who are you?
B:A wandering elf.
Who said this to whom?
(might be a bit hard but try);)

Niniel
07-10-2002, 09:36 AM
That's Túrin and Gwindor.
Sorry, no new quote...

Ithrynluin

Quotes, sayings from Silmarillion (Publish Silmarillion). Rules are the same for any Quote Game, If you are sure you are correct, you can post the Quote along with your Answer.

Here's the first one,

Then have you seen Húrin son of Galdor, the warrior of Dor-lómin?'

By who to Whom?

Aulë
04-13-2003, 06:39 PM

There used to be a game exactly like this in the Silmarillion section, but it's gone dead ages ago. Nice to see it again! Anyway, I don't know yours right now and don't feel like looking for it, so someoen else may try.

Nóm
04-13-2003, 09:31 PM
I know where the other thread is. Couldn't decide if I shoud merge it with this one (where it will be of little use) or delete it since leaving it where it is it would be of absolutely no use, so I left it alone for the time. I'll merge them if no one is against it... Beleg?

Also, I'll delete this post later.

Beleg
04-20-2003, 09:49 AM
Sure Merge it, I tried looking for a Silmarillion Quote game, but found none so I started this new thread.

nope, didn't happen in Gondolin, wasn't said by or to Eol, Turgon or Maeglin.

Anamatar IV

Oh well that was Curufin to Eol when he was chasing after Aradhel.

The Sea has no shore. There is no Light in tHe West.

I editted it somewhat so people couldn't search for it on any e-copies.;)

BlackCaptain
05-24-2003, 04:08 AM
I'm thinking it might be Feanor disgracing Aman and forsaking it...

Anamatar IV
05-24-2003, 04:20 AM
No, not Feanor. The person saying this was saying basically there is no Aman...Feanor was standing in Aman, so that wouldn't make sense, would it?

EDIT:

To clear confusion, the italics on Feanor have nothing to do with the answer, hehe.

BlackCaptain
05-24-2003, 04:38 AM

I am still very interested in this thread, but I don't have a copy of the Sil currently so yeah.

Anyway, was it Finwe to the Elves travelling to the West?

Lasgalen
09-12-2003, 09:36 PM
No. It was not Finwë.

Curufin
09-13-2003, 01:58 AM
My very first post :)

"Westward our hearts have been turned, and we believe that there we shall find Light."

I believe it was Beor who said this to Finrod Felagund

Lasgalen

Welcome Curufin.
Yes, it was Bëor. Your turn to post a quote.

Curufin

The days are dark, and there is no hope for Men, for the Faithful are few
