In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.'

'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin

Thank you!

What is another, more common name for what the men of Gondor call “sweet galenas?”

Good guess, but sorry, that's not the right answer. Try again.

I think it's RotK, if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT: Just looked it up in my index, and it's in both FotR and RotK.

westmansweed, was the name commonly used among men. It was the hobbits that called it pipeweed.

Elrond alludes to a silmarillion character before the fellowship leaves. What is the allusion, who is he speaking of, and how does it apply to the conversation taking place?

That's cruel, I know. ]: )

Correct Elf Girl, your turn.

he alludes to a few at the council of elrond, but you meant right before they left, at the start of 'the ring goes south', didn't you?

EDIT: evil italic thing, refuses to work...

Doesn't really matter, since his question didn't count.
