In this game, a quote (at least five words) is given and you answer who said it and in what book it is found. If possible try to give some context so others can look it up too.
To make it easier, we will quote from the 3 main books - The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion (almost everyone has access to these.)
Example:
Quote:
"Eavesdropping sir? I don't follow you, begging your pardon. There ain't no eaves at Bag End, and that's a fact."
Answer:
- Sam Gamgee said this when he was caught listening at the window, to Gandalf and Frodo
- LotR, FotR, Book 1, Chapter 2
HAVE FUN!

...We are few, but we remember still the king that was of old. Most of my people are abroad, for there are great tidings in the South – some are tidings of joy to you, and some you will not think so good.
Who said it and when, I think it is quite difficult to crack, but I have the utmost confidence you will manage ;-)

Well, as no one answered yet I think I ought to give you a hint. These words were not spoken by a human, elf, hobbit or dwarf character.

At first I was going to say Ghan-buri-Ghan, but then realized he was a Wild Man. So I'm going to say Treebeard. Am I close? I'm still trying to figure out where this was said. This is a good one Suse!  |

I was going to say Ghan-buri-Ghan too! But he only talks in fragments...does he count as a man? for some reason I thought they were like ghosts?

Well, if I tell you who said it it will be all answered. I give you the book instead... "The Hobbit"

It was the bird (a raven, I think) talking to Thorin - arghh. I don't have my book with me.
If someone comes up with the name before me, please give it.

RIght :-D
I shall treat you to the whole speech for the effort it took to figure it out, congrats to all you contributed!
"I am Róac son of Carc. Carc is dead, but he was well known to you once. It is a hundred years and three and fifty since I came out of the egg, but I do not forget what my father told me. Now I am the chief of the great ravens of the Mountain. We are few, but we remember still the king that was of old. Most of my people are abroad, for there are great tidings in the South – some are tidings of joy to you, and some you will not think so good.
"Behold! the birds are gathering back again to the Mountain and to Dale from South and East and West, for word has gone out that Smaug is dead!"
It can be found in "The Hobbit" Chapter 15
The Gathering of the Clouds
and now I pass it on to the solver of the riddle, melime, your turn!

Nay! Let us make war swiftly! Have we not rested from strife overlong, and is not our strength now renewed...?
