Mandos

 

Welcome to the Halls of Waiting, where I reside and rule the dead souls of the Firstborn. I am Namo, the Doomsman of the Valar, all-knowning and often called upon to speak justice in matters of importance and confusion. Iluvator asked me to share my wisdom with you mortals and now I am here to help you with  your problems.

Always wanted to ask the Valar something, but you just didn't dare? Felt too intimidated? Take your chance now, but there are no guarantees that you will like the answer!

The lady Morgana has agreed to kindly forward your questions to me. 

So ask your question now or hold your tongue forever!

Namo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dearest Lord Námo,

I would like to know if you are into black metal (the music, that is), or any metal, for that matter. 

Sincerely,

Beledhel

*Clears throat* Ah, you discovered one of my vices... Aye, I am a metal head... Prefently some good speed metal which I found on earth during my travels into alternate realities... and some good old sleeze rock! Now there is a perfect opportunity to pick up interesting... males... hehe

Yours,

Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Namo, Namo sexiest Valar of them all....
Tell me your Smoldering Hotness, what would you
consider a perfect, romantic, hot date. And with
whom..other than Haldir (valar/elf)?
Your humble admirer
Rav

***

My dearest Rav...

Since I discovered traveling into alternate universes I realized I am quite attracted to a race called hara. Strangely enough, I find that my tastes are also shifting from the dark-haired to the blond... A perfect date would be with Calanthe and would entail lots of alcohol and rooning! (good thing I am a Vala, so I can change my body and become har too hehe!!

Yours,

Námo

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dearest Namo, sexiest of the Valar and Keeper of my Heart...

Some questions that have been burning in my teeny teenage mind...

1. Which do you prefer, milk chocolate or dark chocolate?

2. What's your favorite flower (If you have one??)

3. How do you feel about wearing cat ears?

Hehe..that's all, I guess. ^-^ Have fun playing with your lil Elf "friends"

*evil smile*

Love & kisses,

Ki the Insane Cat Grrl

***

My dearest Ki (feeling smug being the keeper of her heart)

1. Ah, chocolate. Truly an invention of the Valar. (Lorien planted the first plants to produce the raw substance and everyone will be eternally grateful for that.) But, to answer your questio... I like milk chocolate with a lots of huge nuts!

2. My favorite flower must be a rose, but not a red rose... I prefer white roses... (one has to be slightly different from everyone else!)

3. I will wear them IF I am allowed to chase Glorfindel through Imladris when he is wearing the tail of the outfit!

Oh, don't worry. I will have a lot of fun with them! <eg>

Yours,

Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear absolutely ravishing Lord Namo,

 

I just a have a few simple questions for you:

 

1) Who is the most fairest elf in your eyes?

2) What's your favorite characteristic on an elf?

3) Do you dance?

 

Sincerely, Pretty in Black

 

***

Purrs loudly... Aye, I am ravishing, am I not? Purrs even harder. Speak mortal and ask your questions.

1) The most fairest Elf of them all? Maybe we could hold a beauty pageant and let the Elves decide? No, You want to know what *I* think? Personally, I think Legolas should win. There is a quality to his beauty which I have seldom encountered! (And I just know Lorien would change the outcome of the contest so *his* Legolas will win. Not many know this but Lorien is secretly in love with Legolas!)

2. Favorite characteristic?  Definitely humor! An Elf must have a good sense of humor!

 

3. Why don't you come here and find out? Wiggles eyebrow suggestively...

 

Yours sincerely,

Ravishing Lord Namo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Lord Namo,

    if you had a chance to be of the firstborn were would you want to live ? Mirkwood , Imladris or the golden woods?  and what would you like to look like ?

  

 Sincerely

Raven Torfinlion

 

***

Hum, my dear Raven, you do not ask easy questions. Mirkwood would be a challenge. Not many know that I am a capable warrior and becoming a Spider Slayer would be interesting. The Golden Wood also holds my fascination as it has some of the finest, blondest specimens of Elves on the whole of Arda, especially Haldir makes my blood burn. But I would chose Imladris, as I have never been able to resist a dark-haired half-Elf!

What would I like to look like? Dashingly handsome of course! I love the dark look the half-Elves have... Give me black hair and cat-like green eyes, with the body of a young Glorfindel and if you are handing out body parts, please make sure 'it' is eight inches long at least.

 

Yours sincerely,

Námo

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Lord Namo!

I hate stealing your precious time, so just one question: Laquer or leather?

Yours uxoriously, flowerdwarf

***

Dear Flowerdwarf (snorts at name! Who wants to be called Flowerdwarf, haha)

Do I have to choose between those two? I cannot go naked? (thinks deeply) In that case I will pick leather. Though, in all honesty, nothing goes above bare skin, letting your fingertips slide down, encountering hard...

You must excuse me now. I need to find a willing Elf...

Yours sincerely, Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My dearest Lord,
I have wondered if any of the Firstborn or the Vala have tattoos?  I must know!
Vampire kisses and absinthe dreams,
Rose O'Thorns

***

Dearest Rose O'Thorns

As far as I know only Tulkas ever got tattoed. It has something to do with him wanting to be the macho warrior. Personally, I always considered getting a tattoo, but I am a bit of whimp when it comes down to undergoing this kind of voluntary pain!

Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My dearest, hottest Valar!

Since Morgana "introduced" you to me by writing about you,
I have seldom a night without dreaming from you ;)

I have several questions at you :

1. you wrote in a mail before , that you are watching erestor
bathing...ahem
isn't he your son?

2. apart from the fact that Glorfindel was annoying with his Tale, what
assets did he had, and could you experience them personally ? ;)

3.How many lost souls and non- lost souls have you  already seduced?

4.... and what tactic do you use to seduce?

your curious Pie :)

***

My dearest Pie,

You dream about me? I should talk to Lórien about this. He IS putting me in too many dreams these days! It won't be long or I will have a reputation to uphold! But let's have a look at your questions.

1. In one reality he is. That is part of the fun of being a Vala. Alternate universes! Writers are really good at creating them! And I enjoy jumping between alternate universes and having the best of all those worlds!

2. A gentleman never tells... (especially knowing Erestor wouldn't take such a revelation well! I know of one alternate universe where he is a skilled warrior and I don't want to say goodbye yet to certain private parts!)

3. You expect me to keep count?????

4. Oh, I really seduce them, courting them, telling them of my prowess and my impressive length, after all, I am one of the Valar... Kissing the tips of their ears also works really well and I have been told that I have a talented tongue!

Námo, blushing and rather afraid his dear wife will read this and demand a more detailed demonstration of his 'tongue'.
 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Sex Kitten of the Halls.

I would like to know what your favorite song is and would you ever do
a pole dance!

Sincerely,

Very hopeful for a show

****
Sex kitten? KITTEN? You DO know that I am a predatory panther? A wolf in disguise? Hum, I should feel flattered, but please don't call me kitten anymore!

My favorite song? Hum... that would be Tulkas' collection of battle songs. Screaming them is an excellent way to let off steam, especially when one's wife has discovered this journal and now monitors one's every move!

Would I do a pole dance? <eg> That wholly depends on the reward I would get for performing! (laughs himself silly at the innuendo he managed to work in there!)

Námo, very careful and hopeful that his wife will forgive him for taking part in Celeborn's orgies...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Lord Namo, 

I have a few questions for you, I hope they aren't so difficult that it'll require you to think!

 1.) What is your favourite book in Lorien's 'Private' library? (Don't be shy!)

2.) Do you really hate Glorfindel's Balrog story?

3.) Is it true that you wear a floral pink silk negligee (that you stole from Ereinion) to bed?

Thank you for your time, Mr. Namo.

Mel

***

My dearest Mel,

Contrary to what you mortals might believe, I do think!

1) That would be a book on poetry, written by Elbereth. It deals with the 'magic' of words, words which will make anyone fall in love with you. It is quite fascinating!

2) I don't actually hate it, but after hearing it each night for several millennia it does get boring. (Plus the fact that he didn't return my advances made me really eager to see him reborn!

3) Nay, it is the other way around! Ereinion likes to wear a floral, pink silk negligee to bed! Hahaha, his secret has been revealed now!

Námo, not on the witty side this eve because his wife found out about Celeborn's orgies, damn it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To Namo, Doomsman and All Around Sexy Vala

Thanks so much for answering questions.  Since you mentioned the Golden Wood, I was wondering if you have ever run into anyone at one of Celeborn's parties? Perhaps another Vala who snuck off to Middle Earth incognito?

What happens when you want an elf to be reborn (you want to get rid of someone) and another Vala disagrees?

Finally, have you ever been inspired to put an idea into the head of a mortal and perhaps become the love interest or sex symbol in a tale of Middle Earth?

Innocently smiles...you really should think about that last bit...sbyte

***

Ah, I am sexy! Continue! I love the way that sounds!

Hm, another Vala who snuck off? Most Valar are rather boring. I am quite the exception. The only other Vala I know off who would ever engage in such mortal activities is Lorién, but when he ventures out, he makes certain, no one, including me, recognizes him.

Most of the time, Manwë and I agree on the souls which should be reborn. After all, I am all-knowing and will therefore never reach a wrong decision.

Nay, I have not. That is Lórien's territory. I think he is also responsible for ridiculous passionate and dedicated love that sometimes blossoms between the Firstborn, but Lorién also doesn't get tangled up with the mortals. They are too unpredictable!

Námo, feeling thoughtful and serious for a change.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My sweetest Namo. 

I have written something for you and I hope that you shall take it to 
heart.

Hair of blackest midnight is his cape
I brush it aside and kiss what is shown
To press into him is my escape
Oh precious one of the Halls I have known.

With fondness,

the Peredhil
***

Is stunned
And then speechless
Tries to think of a coherent reply
And all that escapes me is a sigh
 
Námo, rather impressed

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ah, My Lord Namo, Mighty Lord of the Nether-region…

Tell me, what ‘comfort’ DO you offer those fea
entrusted to you and would you ever consider offering
such consolation to… a say dark haired mortal? 

Your devoted servant,
Gwaelinn

***

Oh, continue, I love the way that sounds -- Mighty Lord... Aye, that is me! How to answer this one diplomatically? Mortals do not normally enter my Halls... And the only mortal who ever tempted me was Elros. It was a pity that his soul didn't travel to my Halls, or I would have one twin to myself.

Yearning, Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Namo (You sexy thing you),

Would you ever cross dress certain Elves or *with* certain Elves?

Love and kisses,

Curiously waiting.
***

Dear Curiously waiting,

You find me sexy? (grins wickedly)

Cross dressing is not something I usually indulge in. I am a manely Vala (Evil grin) Though, it might be fun to dress Elrond up and give him funny dresses and braids... or Celeborn. I am certain Celeborn would look lovely as a blushing maiden!

Respectfully, sexy Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Almighty Namo of the great Halls,

Have you *ever* indulged in anything besides watching Elves and
helping their souls along?

*kisses*

'Wants 'help' as well

***
 

Dear 'wants help' as well

This is getting better and better! I am almighty now! I hope neither Manwe nor Eru will grow jealous (pleased grin!)

Indulged in anything? You *have* been reading my answers? You mean, except from cross-dressing Elrond? Partying with Celeborn and the orgies in the Golden Wood? Slipping love potions into the wine of unsuspecting Elves? (Glorfindel and Erestor was the best match I ever achieved with using love potions!)

Does this answer your question?

Feeling smug, Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have any hobbies?

                         Vrita

***

Apart from partying with Celeborn? Sneaking into Imladris (whilst invisible) to watch Erestor bathe? Sometimes add a bit of potent miruvor to Elrond's wine and have fun hearing him talk dirty when he thinks he is alone? Oh, and did I already mention tying Haldir to my bed?

No, no hobbies except for those (smug grin)

Amused, Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Dear Lord Namo,

 

Since you volunteered to answer a few questions, here are a couple that I've been tossing around.

 

1)  If two elves wished to entertain you for the night, would you prefer it be the twins or Erestor and Elrond?

 

2)  When you just want to get away from the day to day grind for a while, what do you enjoy doing?

 

Diane

***

Ah, I am 'dear' Lord Námo now? (chuckles)

Making me chose, are you? I would prefer the experienced ones, Elrond and Erestor. Their repertoire might be a bit more varied... Plus, I love to see the Elf-Lord of Imladris doing some taking (very evil grin)

Now for your second question -- It is a well-guarded secret that Celeborn has the best parties on Arda. Every now and then (when Galadriel is visiting Imladris) he gatheres his Galadhrim and feast for days. Those parties can be rightly called orgies! Now you know where I go... especially when Haldir is taking part in those parties, haha

Drooling, Námo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Lord Namo

    If you could be counted among there firstborn . what would you want to look like and were would you whant to dwell Mirkwood ,Imladris or the golden woods ?

 

    Sincerely

 

 Raven Torfinlion

 

***

 

Aiya, another difficult question... Two difficult questions in one day! Now I am actually forced to think!

 

As my preference runs toward dark-haired half-Elves (which is a secrect and no one dares to tell my wife that!!!) I would choose to reside in Imladris. I would prefer to be invisible so I could spy on them, but alas, you asked me to choose a form. As I know that Erestor and Elrond (and the twins) prefer blonds, I would choose to be a male, fair-haired Elf with an amazing butt so none of them could keep their hands off of me. Once in bed, I would of course reverse positions and put my hands on them, making them scream for more, hahaha

 

(now I have to get my mind out of the gutter again before Vaire finds me! Look what you made me do!)

 

Namo, very hard, very frustrated

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To my favourite Vala, Námo (don't let Lorien see that, I don't want nightmares!!)

 

I have two questions to ask you:

 

1) If you could be anyone for one day, man, elf, dwarf or other, who would you be and why?

 

and

 

2) Do you ever get offended when referred to as the Doomsman of the Valar?? Would you perhaps prefer a different nickname, such as Mo, Lamo Námo, or perhaps the PimpDaddy of the Valar?

Hope to never see you in person,
Méril

***

Don't worry about Lorien, I will make certain he doesn't give you nightmares.

Regarding question number one (scratches behind ear and wonders how mortals come up with such difficult questions!) I would like to be a butterfly for a day. Flying from one flower to another and enjoying having no duties at all!

Regarding question number 2 I am quite happy with being the Doomsman of the Valar. It is a title bestowed on me by iluvator himself and I am proud to serve him in that capacity. I desire no other title (accept for maybe Lord in the bedroom when I am playing games.

Respectfully, Námo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Námo, My question is simple: Boxers or Briefs?

Sincerely,

Curious in Lingerie

***

My dearest Curious in Lingerie...

I must admit to leaning toward boxers... A Vala needs some freedom down there... Especially when one is very endowed in *that* way (smug grin) Though, I have been known to go commando as well.
 

Respectfully,

Námo

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Dear Námo, what is your favourite colour and why?

 

Sincerely, Beta Calsto

 

***

 

My dearest Beta Calsto,

 

My favorite color (and this might come as a surprise) isn't black as some might think. It is red... A warm red, bordering on brown. Living in the Halls of Waiting can be cold and lonely and a vibrant warm red always warms my heart. (and it IS the color of love...)

 

Respectfully,

Námo

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Dear Námo,

To my great dismay I have to see that the two most
important questions have already been asked. That only
leaves with one question:

If you were stranded on a lonely Valinor which three
elves would you take with you?

I am eagerly awaiting your answer,

Simarillion

 

***

 

*Scratches behind his ear* This is the hardest question so far. We are speaking hypothetically, are we? Because my wife would not appreciated my answer otherwise *grins wickedly*

 

Elf number one would be Elrond Half-Elven. The half-Elf has both intellect and the looks and I do prefer dark-haired lovers (let's hope Vaire doesn't find out!)

 

Elf number two would be Haldir of Lorien. As a respected Vala I am not supposed to say this, but... he is hot!

 

Elf number three... Certainly not Glorfindel! Even in death he talked constantly! Let's see, I have a dark-haired Elf, a silver-haired one... now I need a fair-haired one... Ah, I know. Elf number three would be Legolas. Has the looks, knows how to hunt and he would find in nicely in a sandwich, just before it becomes a foursome!

 

Oh, look at what you made me admit! *hides quickly so Vaire cannot come after him with a broomstick!*

 

Námo, running for dear life.
