[ a small nod ] When King Thingol of Doriath - he who was once Elwë, King Olwë's brother, - when he learnt of... the our Doom and our... manner of arrival, he banned all Quenya from being spoken or used in his kingdom. [ He refused to countenance any dealings with us also Maglor doesn't say ] And since he was lord of the largest and greatest of the moriquendi kingdoms... it became widely accepted so, even by those who were technically not under his lordship.
It was easier for all of us to... follow suit. [ He does not speak of the arguments, the tears, and secret ways many of the Exiles kept their language alive in their families. He does not speak of the way his brothers refused all dealings with their old names ]
