Telemnar

*The second and greatest evil came in the reign of Telemnar....a deadly plague came with dark winds from the East. The King and all his children died.*

LOTR Appx A, Gondor and the Heirs of Anarion

 

[Marky Lazer]

Correct. It's also in The Silmarillion, by the way. But your go, of course

 

[Kissmequick]

okie dokie

Whose parent was named Lightfoot?

 

[Marky Lazer]

Good question!

And afterwards when all was over men returned and made a fire there and burned the carcase of the beast; but for Snowmane they dug a grave and set up a stone upon which was carved in the tongues of Gondor and the Mark :

Faithful servant yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane.

The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King V, Ch. VI The Battle of the Pelennor Fields

 

[Kissmequick]

Bah, I knew that one was too easy, I'm gonna make the next one sooooo hard lol


Well done and over to you.

 

[Marky Lazer]

Okay, who's line is this?

'I does ask. And [...] I begs.'

 

[Kissmequick]

Sam, to Gollum

'Smeagol always helps if the asks- if they asks nicely'

'I does ask. And if that isn't nice enough I begs.'

LOTR, Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit

 

[Marky Lazer]

Very well! I'm looking forward to that "sooooo hard" one.

 

[Kissmequick]

OK, well it might not be hard for you ofc

who said this while pointing a sword at someone?

'See half brother. This is sharper than thy tongue!'

 

[Marky Lazer]

But Feanor followed him, and at the door of the king's house he stayed him; and the point of his bright sword he set against Fingolfin's breast. 'See half-brother!' he said. 'This is sharper than thy tongue. Try once more to usurp my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will rid the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of thralls.'

The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Ch. VII Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor

 

[Kissmequick]

yup

poop, I need harder questions!

 

[Marky Lazer]

Okay, this question is gonna be worth a bell, for I think it's rather obscure. It also continues this who-said-what series. So, who said:

'All roads are now bent.'

 

[Sephiroth]

The answer is 'great mariners' or 'those that sailed furthest' (mortal men).

For the Dúnedain held that even mortal Men, if so blessed, might look upon other times than those of their bodies' life ... Thus it was that great mariners among them would still search the empty seas ... And those that sailed furthest set but a girdle about the Earth and returned weary at last to the place of their beginning; and they said: 'All roads are now bent.'

The Silmarillion, Akallabêth, p. 281

 

[Kissmequick]

damn you Seph I was just gonna post that!

 

[Marky Lazer]

A bell for Seph! *tries to hand bell, but it's still sticky because of the QT visit* Um... you get that bell some other time, Seph.

 

[Sephiroth]

*forlornly gives up trying to grab the bell*

Oh...okay. Okay. Cheers anyway. Oh, and I fixed my inopportune typo. 'All roads are not bent'. Aren't they?!


(sorry KMQ, but hey, look at all the bells you have now. Many more than me! )


I don't think I'll ever ask a question that you learned folk find difficult (the one about the money was beyond me, Pyan...). But anyway......I won't give up.....

that dreadful fleet...with great thunder, and lightning, and a tempest of fire

What dreadful fleet? And who led it?

 

[Kissmequick]

out of the pits of Angband there issued the winged dragons, that had not before been seen; and so sudden and ruinous was the onset of that dreadful fleet that the host of the Valar was driven back, for the coming of the dragons was with great thunder, and lightning, and a tempest of fire

Ancalagon led iirc

Silmarillion, Voyage of Earendil

 

[Marky Lazer]

Then, seeing that his hosts were overthrown and his power dispersed, Morgoth quailed, and he dared not come forth himself. But he loosed upon his foes the last desparate assault that he had prepared, and out of Angband there issued the winged dragons, that had not before been seen; and so sudden and ruinous was the onset of that dreadful fleet that the host of the Valar was driven back, for the coming of the dragons was with great thunder, and lightning, and a tempest of fire. [...] Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host[.]

The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Ch. XXIV Of the Voyage of Earendil and the War of Wrath

Edit: Quick and accurate there

 

[Sephiroth]

Well done both of you (such speed!). But the bell goes to KMQ!

*hands over the tinkly thing*


Your go, ma'am.
