There ar estill 2 unsolved riddles:

Mine -
I'm high and tall,
Can be found near the sea,
Over a city where
The wise king used to be.

QAL's -
Some could say I'm sad and weary by the company that I keep,
I'm not good company, for my heart is very deep.
You can find me near a crossing western border bound,
if you ever visit me I'm sure not to make a sound.

QAL - I'll try to ask question, because I have no idea... is it something in Brethil?

QAL's riddle: Does it have something to do with Finduilas or Haudh-en-Elleth - her grave-mound?

Hmm... Tower of Avallónë? Or maybe Mount Taras?

Yup, it's Taras, the mountain over the city of Vinyamar, where Turgon used to live.

I met the one who's great and feared
It took him long to look at me
And then came darkness, emptiness
Alone I was, but found at last
To be with one who cared of me
To feel again the happiness
To wish that I'd been never found.

Beren3000 · 07-31-2004, 06:32 PM

Could it be Hurin (where the great one would be Morgoth)?

Nienor, sister of Turin, being found by Glaurung?

Haradrim · 08-20-2004, 05:09 PM

I know that there is already a riddle thread I thought it might prove useful to create one for newbies because the old one is rather long and hard to get through. I read it to find out what has been done already. I will start off-

It was hard to give up.
yet needed to be done.
Underneath the ground,
a new bearer was found.

Clue: Its an event.

I know its pretty easy but whatev. You can post a riddle whenevr you want. Try to answer and give. I want this to be fun and no bickering over whether it was too ambiguous. Enjoy!

Radagast The Brown · 08-20-2004, 05:19 PM

Gollum and Bilbo riddle game, isn't it?

I don't tihnk you should read all the riddle game thread. You just need to write a new riddle, if you want, in the end.

Edit - i see Valandil merged them. Heh... he'll explain why next post.

Haradrim - I didn't see a compelling reason for a separate riddling thread for new members... in fact, this might be a nice way for newer members to meet some old salts.

So - I've merged your thread into this existing Riddling thread.

Haradrim · 08-20-2004, 05:43 PM

nope no tBilbo riddle game. Remember I mentioned give up GOllum did not give up anything> Not saying it has todo withthe ring....

Beren3000 · 08-21-2004, 01:05 AM

Haradrim, I have no clue what your riddle might be

However, here's a humble on of my own:

In the mountains I lie*
Waiting for a word
And though I won't reply
My answer will be heard.

*lie as in "wait" not as in "fib"

Enjoy

Haradrim · 08-21-2004, 01:38 AM

Beren 300- The ring waiting underneath the Misty Mountains for signs of Sauron.

Mine- another hint- Its not underneath a mountain. More like a really really really small mountain.
