New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

What was the fate of Glamdring's twin, Orcrist?

Orcrist was buried with Thorin Oakenshield... along with the Arkenstone...

Who was the The White Lady of the Noldor?

gotta go brush hawg...

[RosieCotton]

I hadn't known the more ancient history, but you're right.

The other piece is that it was found in the troll's hoard by Bilbo and Gandalf and the dwarves.

[Oberon]

Who was the The White Lady of the Noldor?

Galadriel.

What name did Aragorn go by while he was being raised in Rivendell?

[JenB]

erm... I don't get it...

[Oberon]

Okay, I totally blew that one.

[RosieCotton]

Ya lost me.

Admittedly, that's easy to do, but...

[g'nad]

Galadriel.

nope...try again...

What name did Aragorn go by while he was being raised in Rivendell?

Estel?... meaning Hope...

I'm really outta here this time...

[Corin Stormhands]

Shooting: Rifle shooter Jen is a target

Somebody's got some s'plaining to do...

[HairOfTheDog]

Hey troublemaker...

Made any progress on your cause? I haven't been to the refugee place he hangs out at now too much, but I know where it is.

[Corin Stormhands]

No progress yet.

I know where he is too. I've got a screenname over there (and I had lunch with Mudboy).

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm not talking about LP... ;~D

[Corin Stormhands]

Neither am I. ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

OK gotcha - just checkin'. ;~D

Don't go there at night, stay on the road :~D

[TalonDJ]

It was amusing when it popped into my head...

[JenB]

It wasn't a reference, then?

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, I tried.

Am I still here?

[HairOfTheDog]

You did what you could.... His opus must've been bad!

[Oberon]

I'd already checked and discovered it was Aredhel. Oh, well.

What's the term that Hobbits use for gifts that have no particular use except to be given as gifts?

[TalonDJ]

It it was then it was an accident. Then again if it was then it would probably similarly opaque considering my trivia base.
