No, no.
Hint:
The quote is in reference to a major event in the early stages of the quest to destroy the ring. It is also spoken not long after that major event.

EDIT: Never mind
Do you mean book 6?
Is at least one of the speakers from Rohan?
And while I'm at it, string or nothing?

[Pedant hat on]The Third Age actually was deemed to end when the Three Rings passed into the West, so there was a period of time after the One Ring had been destroyed that was the Third Age.[/Pedant Hat Off]

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
I'm guessing its when Gandalf falls and Aragorn must lead, but I can't find the quote!

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Yikes! I just looked at the quote again.
Someone asked me if it was spoken in Rohan - the answer is yes.
So not the same book as the “event”. And not “a bit later”
Sorry, people. Memory!

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
I'm guessing it's in the dialogue between Aragorn and Éomer. I didn't find it at first skimming, though.

That’s correct….
