The Tolkien Translation Game!

[Jude]

So I'm guessing that Frelga has solved it. Are you going to post the answer?

[Jude]

Another hint: it's from the Silmarillion.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Still waiting for Frelga to post the answer.

Oh, sorry, didn't realize. Al got it first.

Melkor to Ungoliant?

"Do as I bid; and if you hunger still when all is done, then I will give thee whatsoever thy lust may demand. Yea, with both hands."

[Jude]

Correct!

You missed out on the bonus points, though.



Your turn!

[Frelga]

I was afraid including "sucker" would disqualify me.

OK, I'll go look for a quote.

[Frelga]

"However, whether it is evil and madness of the other riders."

I will tell you upfront that the word riders is not in the original quote and I've no idea how it got here.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Is it Gandalf to Denethor: "But others may contest your will, when it is turned to madness and evil."

If so, I really have no idea how "riders" got in there.

[Frelga]

You got it. Should have left the riders there, it was too easy.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Deep place in the world! And, for the sake of people in there, I'll go the opposite of their intention. Who, we my my my now ,,, have this deadly darkness, it is a very strange, or, if you can not in you to read how it ?

[Jude]

I love how TranslationParty isn't concerned with trivial things like coherence and grammar

[Inanna]

Is it Gandalf?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

No, though he was present.

[Inanna]

Is it Denethor?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

No. (And he was not present.)

[Voronwë the Faithful]

I should say in response to your first guess that it was said in response to Gandalf. And the first part is virtually unchanged.

[Inanna]

So, Moria?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Yup.

[Jude]

Was this spoken during the discussion about whether or not they should go via Moria?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

No, that ship had already sailed (so to speak).
