a hearty greeting from me aswell
Welcome to our fellowship

Nice to see you around, Manveru! Welcome again. We will be pleased to hear more about your works in fantasy games area (I know I will look for it).

For those who have mist Manveru's presentation:

I'd say that it is possible.
Even in the countries ravaged by wars the people will find something that cannot be broken such as love.

That's a good question that I think has no answer or they vary alot I myself would say that it is happiness. Something to hold on in the sorrows of war

Namaarie! Manen nalye? I know that I am not an Elf, but I have taken intrest in Quenya and have been trying feverishly to translate and learn all sort of things, and I read here some Quenya sentences. Thus I will stick here a bit to improve my Quenya if you lots won't be very angry at a hobbit intruding you guild...
Clyryam

yeah i am happy to see you around here Clyryam. i haven't see any of my kindred friends for months......this is the first time. if your a new member introduce yourself under "Introduce yourself!" thread, so the other members will know you!

Some may have the right reason to be asleep, Time Zones and staff like that...

Do not regret any moment of your life and specilay no moment of your life in PT. In my land we say: "The lonely warrior is still a warrior!"

Swords out and up! Hail, Thinker, the friend of the elves!

It is perhaps more correct to translate this speach of old as "Even single warrior is a warrior" (maybe also alone rather lonely). I am not very good with English, as one may see if read more than two posts of mine.


It is up to the Thinker the Hobbit of Hobbiton to be or not to be friends with Ammornil Henduluin of Mirkwood, and friends of any elf are always welcome in the Elven Guild. You are one of the sparks ("tinwe") that keeps the fLight of life in this elven realm burning.

Correct Grondy

i also enjoy here as Grondy said. there's no big different in here with Elves.....but Elves don't have six meals like we have,i think. and Elves are not very interested in food like we do...if this is OK with Rules... Can i have something to eat?

What feelings does that inspire in your mind?

cabin favor... did not saw that one coming... anything else?

It may be a dangerous business, Arath, going out your door if not knowing where your path leads. For many paths have cross roads, and even more dangerous the choice could be, once set before your steps. But as a wanderer of old I will have to say also... the best of each journey is the coming home. And how could you value something more or most if never parted from it?

About my question before... it is quotation from a work of mine, where a character leaves his home to find the cause of a change in his lands. I just was not sure if it reflects despair or fear... Obviously none of them, so I will have to work on it a bit more...

One could argue that Humans, Dwarves & Halflings are all wiser than Elves, since they are not as long-lived, rendering the number of mistakes they make (which erroneously is called 'wisdom') much smaller.

Then again, one can't make much mistakes if one shuts oneself out of the world, even out of time, and hides in forests and vales hoping somehow the other races will keep the forces of darkness at bay.

In a way, the destruction of the Three was poetic justice, a fitting punishment for the Elves' apathy & cowardice throughout the Third Age.

If wisdom comes with experience, then the more time one has given to live, presumably more experience one will gain. And yet long life is not necessarily related to more experience. In my homeland we say: "Ask the one who did it, not the one who lived long enough to see it."

As for staying away from other races, "hiding" in the woods, I guess never shall humans understand it. It is about living in your inhabitance and not taking more than you need. Expansion is change, but also destruction. And elves do not look to destroy, but to keep the original idea of the Valar for it is the way of nature.

As "evil" and "good" are relative qualities, I will not like to argue. Though the way of war may be a good way to permanently stop an invasion, it is also good way to destroy much along and around that path.

We meet it happily as always in the north

I too am enjoying spring very thoroughly. Where I live it is only a brief hiatus between the 10-40s of winter (Fahrenheit) and the 85-100s of summer. Therefore we must be careful to appreciate the nice temperatures while they last.

What geographical coordinates is that?

that's Funny but you could change it. go on to my account then Edit profile.....

Only Sunny and Rainy days here.....

Remember, I'm new so I don't have enough mithril, thinker.

true, true, but sauron is a direct descendant of the valar because he is a maia. So his descendants are the orcs and ringwraiths.

If you read silmarillion you will see that sauron once served Aule, the blacksmith.Saruman mixes orcs wit elves. Sauron isn't directly related to morgoth and the orcs and wraiths aren't related to sauron.

In a way, raiths remind me of mind controlled zombies. I tink orcs are just corrupted elves.

Question for Elves

What kind of Elda would you like to be?

The Avari are so mysteriously cool. I wonder how they lived. They don't really feature in many of the stories; I've often imagined that they'd sailed off the other side of Middle Earth and discovered a new continent

But I'd like to be the travelling type. Probably a Wood Elf. I'd get bored of pretty waterfalls and golden leaves pretty soon, I think...

As you said there is not much known or mentioned about the Avari so our discussion would be mostly speculation. but i think that by speculating and discussing them we could "create" their history and enlighten the shroud of mystery that now surrounds them. Im eagerly awaiting for you to create the thread
