I wanted to learn Sindarin but never got round to it!!!
Narya is one of the three Elven rings of power worn by Elrond and off the top of my head I think she was the saphire ring.
I'll have to swat up on my Quenya then!!!

Ask Nyx how much I get out, and I speek it every day. Well type it anyhow. I RP a Tolkin Elf on a game called Ultima Online.
Yes I am a complete computer geek and I have no social skills outside of my own room.

Well, here is some Tolkien trivia for you all, Tolkien grew up in Birmingham mainly Moseley and Edgbaston and drew inspiration for The Two Towers from a Victorian water tower and another Tower that was built in the 1700's.
Sarehole Mill were the The Hobbitts live is a Mill in Moseley Bog, which was what the Shire was based on.

The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.-- Ken Kesey

That's not Sindarin... at least not the original Tolkien Sindarin.
Alae, mellon nîn = hello, my friend
(Don't know what's "welcome" at the moment, haven't spoken sindarin for a long time...

One of my friends kids wants to become a vegetarian, his main reasons for this are the facts that Vulcans and Elves are both veggies.
I think thats pretty cool.

Oops, sorry!
didn't see you were talking about Quenya... *promises to read attentive the next time*
I have never learnt Quenya but spoke Sindarin well some time ago.
The poem spoken by Tolkien...is it the one which begins with "Ai! laurie lantar lassi surinen..."?
