I would have thought it obvious that someone who can craft such an authentic comic strip such as DCI has deeply studied elfin and orcish lore and language etc.

Fire away.
Originally posted by Tybaltus 1-Can you pronounce all that?
More or less (though my accent has a touch of orc to it).
Originally posted by Tybaltus 2-Have you studied Elven languages or something?
I just use the Tolkien's appendices, notes and a few web sites to help muddle through.

Tancave, henion nadath peth. Translation: Yes, I understand most of the words.

You're just jealous.

Quite correct. I'm glad someone appreciates it.
P.S. With Tolkien use elven instead of elfin (he hated it when his editors used elfin).
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
I just love elven, although I never quite studied it in detail, I have done so with the dwarven used in Warhammer, those who know what my name really mean could have guessed this
Khazâd ai-mênu This is actually Middle earth dwarvish, and is part of Gimli's battle cry used in Helm deep
"Those who control the past control the future, those who control the present control the past" And I rule the PRESENT!!
I put the 'laughter' back in 'slaughter'
Originally posted by Azmodan eh, Kayless..... could you be able to find the first part of the dialog (nr 3)... that builds up to the elvish dialog?
Okay, I won't get all the dialogue until I see TTT again in a couple of days, I remembered part of it (It's a reworking of lines from the novel).
Gimli: "Most have seen too many winters." Legolas: "Or too few."
Not much I'll grant you, but I'll have the rest soon.

“Caw, Caw!” The call of the wild calls you. Are you listening? Do you dare challenge their power? Do you dare invade? Nature will always triumph in the end.

Better late than never, here's the whole scene for you, Azmodan.
Aragorn: Farmers, farriers, stable boys. These are no soldiers. Gimli: Most have seen too many winters. Legolas: Or too few. Look at them. They’re frightened. I can see it in their eyes. Boe a hûn: neled herain dan caer menig (And they should be... Three hundred against ten thousand). Aragorn: Si beriathar hýn. Amar nâ ned Edoras (They have more hope of defending themselves here than at Edoras). Legolas: Aragorn, men i ndagor. Hýn ú-... ortheri. Natha daged aen (We are warriors. They cannot win this fight. They are all going to die). Aragorn: Then I shall die as one them!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of Kayless' words;
he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of spam are stored;
he hath loosed the fateful lightning of his spamtastic swift sword;
his spam is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His spam is marching on.
