For true salvation, read this text aloud and then meditate on the translation below.

May it be foe or friend, bright Vala

foul or clean, Morgoth-breed,

Elda or Maia or After-born,

in Middle-earth Man now unborn,

neither law, nor love, nor swords' league,

dread nor wound, no indeed not Doom that,

him will defend from Fëanor, and from Fëanor's kindred,

whoso hides or possesses, and in hand grasps

has finding and afar casts

a Silmaril. This we all swear:

death him we will give ere the Day's End,

agony till the World's End! Our word hear,

Eru Allfather! To the everlasting-darkness

doom us when fails our deed.

On the holy mountain hear our witness

and our oath remember, Varda and Manwë!


Congratulations, you are now obligated to retrieve the Silmarils and return them to their rightful owners. If you do not do this, you will be condemned to the Void.

    23yo/F seeks male to fulfill the Oath and retrieve Silmarils. Speaking Quenya a plus.

    The Silmarillion wiki article would probably suffice. But long story short, young woman is parodying the weird Christian thread with an obscure, nerdy Tolkien reference.

    Because of you, I am smarter. You have touched a strangers life. Bless thou child.

    Yay! My nerd-religion thread made a difference!

    No exception for side-by-side translation? What if someone happens to be more comfortable reading Quenya? ;)

    You can make a group for them. But I get a percentage if you make a religion.

    You're looking at it all wrong. That's just proof of concept. There are 41000 Christian denominations.

    You were partially right, seeing as it got a warning. Funny as hell.
