The Speakers

Post by Angelalex242 » Sun Dec 15, 2013 12:04 am

Where does this elven virtue come from? There's a little bit of text for it, but I can't recognize from which book it's from, or who it refers to possessing this virtue.

In a similar way, I don't remember anyone in the books using elf lights or enchanted slumber. I totally get stinging arrow though, Legolas abuses that one like nobody's business.

Did I miss where C7 got those abilities from?

The elf lights and enchanted slumber are most likely taken from The Hobbit when the Dwarves and Bilbo try to crash the Elven feasts and wake up hours later. The sleepers on the other hand I'm not sure

The dwarves are all captured using elven lights when they near rivendell.

The stones speaking I cannot remember it, but sounds really elven "new age weirdo hippie tree hugger" to me, so appropriate.

Legolas, on the elves of Hollin: "But the Elves of this land were a race strange to use of the silvan folk, and the trees and the grass do not now remember them. Only I hear the stones lament them: deep they delved us, fair the wrought us, high they builded us; but they are gone. They are gone. They sought the Havens long ago."

Just wondering - is this from the movie?

I don't recall this in the book. In the book, the Elves welcome them, if not jest with them a bit, & their only use of the lanterns is to light the way for the travelers.

It's not in the movie.

It's also not near Rivendell. It's in the Mirkwood and leads to the capture of the dwarves in the Elvenking's halls.

Thanks Doc the Weasel. That's what I thought. In that case, it fits fine with the book & their interpretation for the game.

Hi, for example when Pippin and Merry talk with Treebeard. He tells them that elves taught trees to speak and "awakened" them.

Remember also that the first name elves gave themselves is "quendi", "those who speak"

Ah, right :) I knew it was there but was unsure about where. Been a while since I read the hobbit.
