The Tolkien Quoting Trivia

[knitteratheart]

yay! Um...let's see....
Here's a pretty easy one: who is son of Beregond of the Guards.

PS please don't call me KAH...if you must abreviate try knitter or knit.
Kah sounds like the name of a guy i really hated in high school

[pyan]

Sorry, Knitter! Know the feeling, hated all Geoffreys for years ......

Bergil

The boy drew himself up proudly. 'I am Bergil son of Beregond of the Guards,' he said.
'So I thought,' said Pippin, 'for you look like your father. I know him, and he sent me to find you.'

RotK: Book V: Chapter 1: Minas Tirith

[knitteratheart]

and you're right, of course!

[pyan]

Ok!

They gathered in mournful crowds upon the western shores.....

Who did?

[knitteratheart]

The people of Esgaroth.
Comming out to mourn for their losses and move on...such adaptable people

Vague? I prefer to think of them as being obscure, myself!

Anywhichway, you're right!

[knitteratheart]

mine turn...okay.

what lived "in forgotten mountains cold beneath the Moon"?

[Marky Lazer]

The great shadow descended like a falling cloud. And behold! it was a winged creature: if bird, then greater than all other birds, and it was naked, and neither quill nor feather did it bear, and its vast pinions were as webs of hide between horned fingers; and it stank. A creature of an older world maybe it was, whose kind, fingering in forgotten mountains cold beneath the Moon, outstayed their day, and in hideous eyrie bred this last untimely brood, apt to evil. And the Dark Lord took it, and nursed it with fell meats, until it grew beyond the measure of all other things that fly; and he gave it to his servant to be his steed.

The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Chapter 6: The Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

We's meaning the winged mounts of the Ringwraiths, of course. Oh yes. And welcome to the knitter!

[knitteratheart]

Correct! I love that quote!

and thanks for the welcome...I think.

Yes, JRRT at his most saga-esque. Fit to stand with Beowulf.

[Marky Lazer]

Okikidoki...

Who is known as 'The Kindler'?

[pyan]

Elbereth/Varda

For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the Stars, from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds, and all paths are drowned deep in shadow.......

FotR: Book II: Chapter VIII: Farewell to Lórien.

[Marky Lazer]

Go! Go! Go!

[pyan]

Gone!

Can you give me the Quenya for:

"mountain-dwelling, leaf-grey, with adornment of red jewels"

There might have been a kraken due to tentacles and all but there were NO red underpants.

*Leaves a basket of feathered bells*

It's from From Bregalad's lament for the rowans. The Two Towers III Chapter 4 (Treebeard).

'Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!' means "mountain-dwelling, leaf-grey, with adornment of red jewels".
