Which Silmarillion Character Are You?
|
Can't Post
|
|
This quiz came up on my Facebook feed yesterday, so just for fun, I thought I'd share it here with all of you. The Silmarillion is my favourite of all of Tolkien's books, so I was interested to see how it worked out. I got Eärendil :)
Let us know who you are in the Silmarillion via our comments section below or here on our Message Boards.
What Silmarillion Character Are You?
*And yes, I know it should be "Which", but that's how they wrote it on the site* Cheers Kel ;)

I came out Feanor!!!! I'm going to have to take it again until I come out Beren or Finrod or someone I like. On the plus side, I didn't wind up a Balrog.
Thanks for posting this.

I'm happy - I got Yavanna.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

aka. fili orc-enshield
+++++++++++++++++++
the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield."
this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo

one of our regular Frontpage posters got Morgoth!
Bag ENZ Home of the Hobbit *with thanks to cameragod ;D*
 
One by one they faded, and fell into shadow...
One book to rule them all
One book to find them
One book to bring them all
And in TORn bind them
In the land of TORnadoes...where the brilliant play

******************************************
The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.”

She's my favorite female character in The Sil. I've only read it once but I've been thinking about giving it another go. Would be niece to read it outside under a nice tree.

My Silmarils are prettier than yours!
And I'm working up an evil oath, but I just can't figure out what it should be about yet. Maybe swearing vengeance on whoever takes my stapler at work or cheats me out of a parking space. I'm open to ideas, especially bad ones.

Apparently I'm Luthien. I know she's an elf, I believe she's a "good guy" but I don't know much else about her. So...is being Luthien a good thing? Somebody? Anybody?

She is a magical lady, daughter of Melian and Elu Thingol who sacrifices everything for true love, and is saved by her true love in return. The quintessential Mi-E Romeo and Juliet with a somewhat better ending.

Unbelievable for me, I got Luthien too. She's among the best. The story of her and Beren is the tempkate for Aragorn and Arwen.
Fan of both books and movies. Oh, and it seems I have severely misnamed myself... for the moment.

Then I guess I'll consider being Luthien a good thing.
