Elbereth is the name we use for Varda Starkindler. Indeed, that is what the name means: `el' star + `bereth' maker. Varda is one of the Maiar, or more specifically, the Valar. But no doubt that is not what you meant. In the game `hack', `E'ngraving the name Elbereth on the floor keeps monsters at bay. But beware; words written in dust may fade away, in time. As for the vault guard, try giving the name Croesus. -- Lindor, alias Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 1415) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@mimsy.umd.edu
