The Tolkien Translation Game!

[Voronwë the Faithful]

But a nice guess!

[Jude]

Did it get drastically shortened in the translation? If so, I may have found it.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

It was shortened, but I wouldn't say drastically.

ETA: by word count it is 2/3 as long as the original.

[Jude]

In that case it's probably not this one:

If thou hadst thy will what wouldst thou reserve? Of all thy realm what dost thou hold dearest?

(Manwë to Yavanna)

[Voronwë the Faithful]

It is, but only the second sentence! Your turn.

[Jude]

Please accept it if you wish. I don't think I'll ever want one again.

[Alatar]

Is that Frodo to Sam when he gives him Sting?

[Jude]

Well, you're kinda on the right track, but no.

[Frelga]

Is it about the pipe weed?

[Jude]

Nope!

[Alatar]

Bilbo to Frodo?

[Jude]

Yes! Can you provide the quote?

[Alatar]

Oooh books not to hand but I think its in Rivendell when he gives him Sting and the Mithril coat?

[Jude]

You have the exact right spot - this quote specifically refers to Sting though, not the Mithril coat.

[Alatar]

"This is Sting. Take it if you like. I shan't want it again, I expect!"

And since i know that's the correct quote I'll go again.

Consider the worst case scenario: There's no point in walking around in the fog.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Barrowdowns?

[Alatar]

Nope!

[Voronwë the Faithful]

I figured not, since it would be too obvious. I'm glad I was right!

[Jude]

Is it from The Hobbit?

[Inanna]

LOTR?
