So far everything is good - speaker included. What's the LAST WORD???

Just saw it - and I think I can finally solve...

"resolve"?

Not quite so long as my last - but hope it is fun to solve...

Don't know who said it, but I think it was talking about Arathorn and Gilraen? Maybe Elrond is speaker?

It was about Arathorn and Gilraen, but Elrond was not the speaker.

It literally was the "Hope may be born for our people" that gave it away. If that hadn't been in there, I probably would have thought it was about a couple of historic elves that I only heard about once.

That first line is correct - from the second line of the quote.

It IS Gilraen's mom - and I won't be surprised if everyone has a hard time coming up with the name, so I'll spill it: Ivorwen

Now just that first line to solve!

The more need of haste!

[Insight into Midge's emotional response to thinking she solved the quote]
I figured it out! Oh, that means I have to post the next quote... solving is MUCH more fun. I hope I got it wrong...[/insight]

Sorry Midget - you ARE correct!

But don't let it get you down. It really doesn't take all that long to post, and it's so needful for the game to happen!

Okay, so every knows that "tonight or tomorrow" in 'Moot time is really by the end of the week in reality time, right?

Hoom, take your time, we are all a bit Entish here.

"Dark are _e_/w_r_s/, and little do they mean to those that receive them."

Stumped on the speaker. I can't even place the quote yet.

"her words"?

Also drawing a blank on speaker - can't really place the setting to help myself.

Gimli?

I'm wondering if this is somebody speaking - when Halbarad brought word to those he met near Isen?

And "her words" would be Galadriel's words then, I think.
Not that it's part of what we are to solve, but sometimes it's fun to go further into some of the quotes ...

Quote is complete. Gimli is not the speaker, nor is Halbarad. The quote is in reference to Galadriel's words, though.

Boromir.

And that's by logic, not by guessing - hope my logic is right ...
