Varda Today at 4:11 PM
rushing to type up a couple of quotes Been working on Sandalf's
essay tables, hoping to complete in time for the meeting, but no
dice.
Sandalf13 Today at 4:11 PM
Very much appreciated! There are very few tables in the other
chapters you have already.
Are we still here?
Eonwλ Valar Today at 4:16 PM
Aye.
Varda Today at 4:16 PM
Kind of. I just discovered something neat in the quotes I'm making
and had to backtrack.
(Those other essays ought to go much faster, Sandalf! Thank you
for your patience.)
Sandalf13 Today at 4:17 PM
I am forever in your debt and that of the Valar Guild for being
willing to publish my blatherings.

another galaxy to explore for her now
Varda Today at 4:36 PM
Aye : )
[4:38 PM]
It was delightful to have seen her at a con in Arizona. She was
cheerful and fun to hear and see. Looked good too.
Sandalf13 Today at 4:38 PM
The Gift of Eru to Men (and Women!).
Eonwλ Valar Today at 4:38 PM
At least according to the Elves.
Varda Today at 4:39 PM
They have a little feedback from Mandos and those that returned
from his Halls. : )
But I just wanted to share that with you, so it doesn't hit by
surprise later.
[4:41 PM]
(I see typing and am trying to give you a chance, then on to
Tolkien.)
Eonwλ Valar Today at 4:41 PM
It is a shame, aye.
Sandalf13 Today at 4:41 PM
Maybe I am part Elvish, then. At the age of 71, I believe that I
have many good years ahead of me, but still that thought creeps up
every now and then....I can appreciate weight of years, and the
energy that it takes to simply stay in the same place...I think I
can begin to see how the end is, indeed, a gift.
[4:41 PM]
\
Varda Today at 4:42 PM
Agreed. The problems pile up to an enormous weight after a time,
and so many we know have gone ahead. But I'm not ready to go yet.
; )
Sandalf13 Today at 4:42 PM
But that is a personal belief, certainly not a universal truism.
[4:43 PM]
And good for you, Varda!
Varda Today at 4:43 PM
Is there any more news for membership or gaming? Requests?

aww
Eonwλ Valar Today at 4:44 PM
Well Phar isn't here, so I'll say it: "Bah! Don't buy the Elvish
propaganda! Follow me to the Western Shores and we can claim life
eternal for our selves!" hehehehe
Varda Today at 4:45 PM
hehehehe
Have to watch out for that guy. : )
On to
[4:45 PM]
top
Tolkien!
[4:45 PM]
This was not intended to be related to the above subject, but one
that popped up in my noggin yesterday.
[4:46 PM]
There are some odd similarities and
differences between the final ends of Fingon, High King of the
Noldor, with Sauron and Saruman. Including is Manwe watching what
is happening?
[4:47 PM]
Silmarillion ch 20 "Of the Fifth Battle" (my pg 236):
(Fingon is attacked and it takes two balrogs to take him down. Go
Fingon!)
"Then Gothmog hewed him
with his black axe, and a white flame sprang up from the helm of
Fingon as it was cloven."
[4:48 PM]
Note the "white flame".
Then, at the end of the battle:
"Night fell in Hithlum, and
there came a great storm of wind out of the West."
Sandalf13 Today at 4:49 PM
BTW - I cannot help but mention it here. When Aragorn challenges
Eomer, and tells the latter who he is in a stentorian voice,
Legolas sees a white flame flickering on the brow of Aragorn. I
wonder where that came from! Aragorn's part-elvish heritage? A
gift of the Valar?
Varda Today at 4:49 PM
He is also a bit of Maia. And yes, I believe his fea is showing.
[4:50 PM]
That or a foretelling of kingship.
But that's a good one! Thanks!
Sauron: RotK "The Field of Cormallen", my pg 252
[4:51 PM]
The One Ring hits the hot drink and this happens:
[4:51 PM]
"And as the Captains gazed
south to the land of Mordor, it seemed to them that, black
against the pall of cloud, there rose a huge shape of shadow,
impenetrable, lightning-crowned, filling all the sky.
Enormous it reared above the world,
and stretched out towards them a vast threatening hand,
terrible but impotent, for even as it
leaned over them, a great wind took it, and it was all blown
away, and passed, and then a hush fell."
[4:52 PM]
This one is black and like a cloud.
[4:53 PM]
We have a great wind blowing it away.
The last quote for you about Saruman:
Saruman: RotK "The Scouring of the Shire", my pg 335
"To the dismay of those
that stood by, about the body of Saruman a gray mist gathered,
and rising slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a
pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill.
For a moment it wavered, looking to
the West, but out of the West came a cold wind, and it bent
away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing."
[4:54 PM]
End quotes.
Gray mist. Pale figure.
Cold wind, dissolves into nothing.
[4:55 PM]
Feel free to comment while I turn the roast. ; )
Arien Valar Today at 4:57 PM
The last ray of sun on the ruined statue head at the crossroads
had the form of a flame as well if i remember and then took the
shape of a crown before it went out gain.. Frodo and Sam saw it
and f
[4:59 PM]
Sam said * Look Master Frodo! The old king has a crown again
" And Frodo said They can t be victorious forever
Varda Today at 5:01 PM
: )
[5:01 PM]
Hope again. : )
Sandalf13 Today at 5:02 PM
I think that Tolkien uses the imagery of light (through a white
flame, or some similar device) to signify the rectitude of his
characters....Fingon: '"a white flame sprang up from the
helm of Fingon as it was cloven." from the quote above. Neither
Saruman nor Sauron have such a light (flame) upon their
passing...Aragorn does twice, once in the quote above, and again
at his coronation...From the RoTK: "a light was about him." So.
Perhaps Eru (the Valar) bestow light upon those who deserve it,
and deny it to those who don't.
Varda Today at 5:03 PM
It could be Fingon's fea leaving at death. It also means he's not
present when they mess with the body and banner afterwards.
[5:04 PM]
We know the fea can shine through the body of older elves, and the
hroa/body becomes less in the way, so to speak.
[5:05 PM]
Then we have the gray mist and the black cloud of the other two
after death. Not Noldorin High Kings, but Maia.
[5:06 PM]
But what was especially interesting was the action of the wind.
Manwe is the Breath of Arda, handles air and wind, as well as
flying things.
[5:09 PM]
Any more observations, comments, neato's?
The after-deaths had interesting similarities, and the wind.
Arien Valar Today at 5:11 PM
its not directly Tolkien but generally folklore but we know that
Tolkien used that as inspiration. Very often there it is mentioned
that when a ghost or spirit is close there is a cold draft of air
Sandalf13 Today at 5:11 PM
I believe that there is a certain symbolism in the "death" of the
Elves. Fingon is released (at least his fea) as a white flame when
he is dealt what would be for a man a "mortal blow." He is echoing
the death of a mortal. Of course, Elves go to the Halls of Mandos,
as per Tolkien, but that leaves one to consider if the Elves' fea
is NOT destructible, and goes to the Halls of Mandos, then
assureredly the fea of a mortal human is not destroyed upon the
death of the body, but goes "elsewhere." I think that is what
Tolkien, with his Catholic weltanschauung, would want us to
believe.
Varda Today at 5:12 PM
Arien, you don't think it's Manwe here?
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:12 PM
Aiya, catching up
Varda Today at 5:12 PM
Aiya Phar : )
Sandalf13 Today at 5:12 PM
Aiya Phar! We missed you!
Varda Today at 5:12 PM
We do know in Tolkien's legendarium that Man spirits go to Mandos
also. Beren waited there for Luthien, for instance.
Sandalf13 Today at 5:13 PM
But from there they leave the circles of the world...at least
until the end of time, when the song is sung aright.
Varda Today at 5:13 PM
They go to Mandos a short while, then go on beyond the Circles of
the World apparently to Eru, while the elves can go to Valinor or
remain in Mandos.
Arien Valar Today at 5:13 PM
who knows Varda and aiya Phar but It might be .. i just
meant that it is a sort of the supernatural , valaresque if you
like , whether it is Mandos or Manwe
Varda Today at 5:14 PM
This is a fantasy book, folks. We can have amazing
stuff happen. : )
Sandalf13 Today at 5:14 PM
I love music deeply, and I hope one day to hear the final
singing...
Varda Today at 5:14 PM
Aye, in ghost discussions, there can be cold and even wind, but
that's not what I was referring to. But nifty.
[5:15 PM]
Aye, the music should be terrific. : )
Arien Valar Today at 5:15 PM
it might not be but maybe an echo of that
Varda Today at 5:16 PM
I am struggling not to get into a discussion of religion in the
real world here. Just JRRT's legendarium. : )
[Note: end of Tolkien chat]
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:17 PM
Caught up
Varda Today at 5:17 PM
Yay! Do you have any comments?
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:18 PM
Nice to think that there's a part of you that lives on after
death, but I'm not convinced... but yeah, let's not bring in
religion 😉
Anyway, for member news...
Arien Valar Today at 5:18 PM
well Mandos had two parts of his halls or maybe three or four ,
didn 't he .. for Elves , Men, Dwarves and maybe orcs
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:18 PM
my usual sunday health issues combined with something else, which
is probably an inner ear infection, leaving me dizzy and nauseus
all day.
Which is why I'm late.
Arien Valar Today at 5:18 PM
yikes 😦
Sandalf13 Today at 5:19 PM
Oy Weh!
Varda Today at 5:19 PM
Sure hope you have something to help you with all that?
Sandalf13 Today at 5:19 PM
Antibiotics?
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:19 PM
Never had one before, but my mom has, so I phoned her (my parents
are on vacation) about what to do. Turned out she had the
medication with her, so I figured I'd have to do without...
but a friend who was also visiting them came back to town tonight
so he dropped off the stuff. I took a pill just now, hope it
helps.
Varda Today at 5:20 PM
Now that's a friend in need!
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:20 PM
It's against dizzyness, and since I'm not having any discomfort in
the ear itself (I don't even know which one it is) it should be
fine.
Yes 🙂
Oh! And also for member news, I visited Amsterdam yesterday to
meet up with a few WoW friends.
Arien Valar Today at 5:21 PM
seems a popular place with WoW meetings 🙂
Varda Today at 5:21 PM
Sounds like a great time!
Sandalf13 Today at 5:21 PM
Was it a bierstube?
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:22 PM
They were delayed though, so I strolled through the city by myself
for a few hours, visiting some landmarks as well as the "pride
week" activity for that day, Pride Park in the Vondelpark. Was
quite nice to hear all the music and seeing people around what was
basically a festival.
But yeah, was a nice adventure, and I was glad the earthing
happened today and not yesterday 🙂
ear-thing, not earth-ing
If it had happened while I was strolling through the city, things
would not have gone well.
But yeah, that's my news, I guess! Still a bit dizzy now, but not
as bad as it was. Hopefully it'll be fine soon, I'm planning to
visit my parents myself on tuesday and wednesday.
Varda Today at 5:25 PM
Sounds good. : )
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:25 PM
And it was not a beer hall (had to google it) though I gather they
did visit one after I left for my late train.
Sandalf13 Today at 5:26 PM
This is a by the way: I realize it has NOTHING to do with Tolkien,
but the famous Joni Mitchell performed LIVE at the 2022 Newport
Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island. The first time she was
there since 1969, and her first public performance since her brain
aneurysm in 2015. What an amazing story! She stood up and played
"This Train" on a guitar...and sang some of the classics:
From Both Sides Now, Carey, Big Yellow Taxi,...all gems. And all
available on Youtube. Just type in Joni Mitchell and Newport Folk
Festival and you can seem them all. Absolutely uplifting.
Varda Today at 5:26 PM
Excellent : )
And since we seem to be done with Tolkien and gaming,
Sandalf13 Today at 5:27 PM
She is 78...and has suffered physical ailments all of her life.

Oh, bit of a tangent from the Tolkien topic:
Was watching some old Buffy and Angel episodes/scenes the past
week or so, and your description of Sauron's shadow reaching out
towards the army in impotence, reminded me of a scene from one of
the episodes 😄

First, didn't have time or desire for it until now 🙂
Varda Today at 5:48 PM
Glad you're getting over the nausea. : ) Tends to come with
dizziness.
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:48 PM
Yep.
Also feeling a bit unfocused, it's hard to concentrate on stuff.
Varda Today at 5:50 PM
Might want to go to sleep. Maybe give the report tomorrow. I'll
still pick it up for the transcript.
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:50 PM
Nah, it's fine. I've got some eating and browsing to catch up on
🙂
Varda Today at 5:50 PM
heh, ok.
Ar-Pharazon-V Today at 5:51 PM
And I don't need to get up early at all tomororw.
Varda Today at 5:55 PM

Personal gaming report:
For (non)flashgaming, here's
https://www.kongregate.com/games/SmallIsBeautiful/super-ordinary-joe
from this week's old badges.
Kongregate
Super Ordinary Joe
For Joe, the path to success is right ahead,
but is he dedicated enough to attain it? Grind your way to a
healthy athletic body in this upgrade / platformer ga...
Image
A platformer, Mario-like, but featuring Joe, an out of shape guy
who needs to get through the level and find the cake.
But you won't get it immediately! Your stats are poor, your
stamina is low, and you don't have many abilities.
Instead, you collect coins, use those between attempts to refill
your stamina with a choice diet, and upgrade your abilities to get
further and better every time!
There's also 2 levels, first one is easy enough, as long as you
don't play too badly you won't run out of coins/stamina. Level
2... takes some economy and a bit of a slower grind.

Blizzard gaming:
[8:58 PM]
Hearthstone:
Level 148 on the reward track now. That's where it'll stay until
next expansion which in a few days, I guess. But got plenty of
gold to carry me forwards.
[8:59 PM]
Brawl is send in the murlocs. Choose a class, get some class
spells and a bunch of murlocs
[8:59 PM]
I had a quest to play paladin, which actually worked quite well
since that's got a few murloc spells, and eventually got quite
lucky with spells and the murlocs themselves.
[9:02 PM]
I didn't do any mercenaries this week. Between going out, my home
alone schedule being a bit bonkers and me wanting to watch a few
movies, it just didn't seem as important. And since I'm not here
for a few days next week as well, it'll be diminished there as
well. But hey, vacation. It's allowed.
[9:02 PM]
WoW:
[9:03 PM]
Raiding: We took a few more shots at Rygelon, seems to go smoothly
but we're just running out of gas, it seems. Tried a few new
positioning tactics, and it feels like just some practice is
required. But I won't be here tuesday, so if they want to kill it
before the new season starts, it'll be without me.
[9:04 PM]
Next reset, new season... not sure what we'll target. Will we go
fated, or avoid the fated for that week? I've no idea, but we'll
see.
[9:04 PM]
Weekly is timewalks, of which I squeezed in my fifth a few hours
ago, but no upgrade.
[9:05 PM]
Alas, no new stuff. Been a really weird week.
[9:05 PM]
Did poke the paladin a little bit though, talked to the Master and
went through the Accuser chapter. A chance to try her new polearm!
[9:06 PM]
Next up will be the Penitent Hunt, as the longest story chapter
remaining, I think.
[9:06 PM]
And that's pretty much it!
[9:07 PM]
Yep, that'll be my report for the week.
[9:07 PM]
Namarie! Grabbing a snack, watching a few minutes of the next
movie while I eat it, and then I'll be off to bed. Hopefully
feeling better tomorrow.
Varda Today at 9:12 PM
Namarie!
