...under shadow last night.

Goldberry1 · 09-22-2008, 03:02 PM

All correct, so there's only one tiny word left: /_t_/

Sneaky, VF... sneaky!

Not after, I edited rather than posting, not to double-post - but it's possible that she posted while I was editing, so that she only saw my first version.

*sigh* Editing can play some tricks on you - and posting from a mobile phone doesn't help.

Curufin · 09-23-2008, 01:59 AM

Is it 'its'?

Goldberry1 · 09-23-2008, 02:01 AM

Indeed it is!

Your go, Curufin.

(Thought I'd give the thread one more check before I get some sleep -- it's 2am my time -- which I dearly need!)

Look again at the post and edit times. Also - I saw the thread with Goldberry's post and the one word still missing from yours.

For future reference though, this is ONE thread where it's best to NOT edit your posts. Unless you do so IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise, there are issues like this.

***Varnafindë*** · 09-23-2008, 08:59 AM

If I had realised I was giving you the last word, I wouldn't even have edited, I wouldn't have posted at all, seeing that I was unable to run the next game.

I admit that avoidance is the kind of sneakiness I prefer

Midge · 09-24-2008, 02:06 PM

We might have to message Rinkë and let her know it is her turn... or we could just wait and take up the mantle of posting again after a couple of days of silence from her...

Curufin · 09-25-2008, 12:05 AM

I'm here. I would have been on this afternoon, but my tetanus shot hurt too bad and made me kind of sick.

But I'm here now.

With due thanks to Varnafindë.

I havent read this book yet. The speaker is talking abt the 'Gift of Men' and how it was seen as a 'Doom of Men'.My guess is that its obviously an Elf(Elrond?) talking to one of the Dúnedain (?).

***Earniel*** · 09-25-2008, 08:49 AM

Indeed the mind of Iluvatar concerning you is not known to the valar, and he has not revealed all things that are to come. But this we hold to be true, that your home is not here, neither in the land of Aman nor anywhere within the circles of the world. And the Doom of Men, that they should/_e_a_t/,was at first a gift of Iluvatar. It became a [B]_r_e_/to them only because/_o_i_g/under the shadow of Morgoth it seemed to them that they were surrounded by a great darkness of which they were afraid; and/_o_e/grow/_i_f_l/and proud and would not yield until life was/_e_t/from them.

Could it be Finrod talking to Andreth?
It seems familiar ...

Oh yes - this is Curufin giving the quote, it's not at all unlikely to be from the Athrabeth then

Edit:
A few more words:
/depart/,
/coming/
/some/grew/wilful/

***Earniel*** · 09-25-2008, 02:51 PM

Hmm, if it's indeed from the Anthrabeth, methinks someone's in the wrong quote thread.

Curufin · 09-25-2008, 02:56 PM

It is in fact, not from the Athrabeth.

Eärniel's "grow" is wrong, but all of Varna's additions are right.

***Varnafindë*** · 09-25-2008, 03:02 PM

So that's why it was only "familiar" and not spot on

Midge · 09-25-2008, 03:32 PM

"Indeed the mind of Iluvatar concerning you is not known to the valar, and he has not revealed all things that are to come. But this we hold to be true, that your home is not here, neither in the land of Aman nor anywhere within the circles of the world.

It became a/_r_e_/to them only because coming under the shadow of Morgoth it seemed to them that they were surrounded by a great darkness of which they were afraid; and some grew wilful and proud and would not yield until life was rent from them."

I've got no idea of the speaker, the first sentence makes me think it's a Vala, but the rest sounds more like an elf... or maybe a Maia (seems a good compromise

)... How about I go out on a limb and guess Melian? No clue if that is even close...
