The Tolkien Translation Game!

[Jude]

No, far away from Rivendell.

Edit to bring to new page:

And it must be protected, otherwise we are all almost dead.

[Inanna]

Rohan?

[Jude]

Nope.

*looks at map*

Further east

[Alatar]

Ithilien?

[Jude]

Um... where exactly does the border of Ithilien end? I guess I don't know the answer to that question.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Is the speaker taller or shorter than Gimli?

[Jude]

I don't think it specifies, so they're probably roughly the same height.

There is no record of the speaker ever having met Gimli.

[Frelga]

So Gollum?

[Jude]

Not Gollum.

[Inanna]

An orc?

[Jude]

Yup!

[narya]

"There's going to be no fun, I tell you," said Shagrat. "And he's got to be kept safe, or we're all as good as dead."

[narya]

And assuming that's the right quote, I'll give you one now, rather than waiting my customary 5 days...

This act, I would have said he would. But the rushing madness was in me, and he did not listen...

[Voronwë the Faithful]

That would have to be Beregrond, talking about taking the key from the porter:

"‘This deed I shall ever rue,’ he said; ‘but a madness of haste was on me, and he would not listen, but drew sword against me.’

[narya]

Yup.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Well, I really shouldn't suppress your splendor anymore or keep you away from many others you need

[Jude]

This must be Bilbo to Smaug:

Well, I really must not detain Your Magnificence any longer, or keep you from much needed rest.

Interesting that translationparty chose the wrong meaning of "rest".

[Voronwë the Faithful]

I thought that was interesting too. Well done! Your turn.

[Jude]

But there was nothing to admire. I had no temptation or desire to do anything other than what I did.

[Frelga]

Faramir?
