You put this one up to grab my attention, didn't you, Beard? My answers:

Frodo
The Red Book

If these aren't the answers, perhaps you put in that last line to throw me off.

Actually no! I didn't. I am actually quoting something in there, not swiping it off you! Nice try though

The Ring! The Ring! It is, yesss, isn't it, WhiskersofBloomers, my preciouss, isn't it? Lost to knowledge, the bearded one says, yes, my preciouss. But remember. Remembered because we found it. Yess.
(Has anyone guessed the Ring?)

Yes, two people have guessed the ring. But no, it's not the ring! (You're on late!)

Aha! You did reply to my riddle. Hmm. No, not the sun, though the sun and the answer to my riddle are so interconnected, that it might be said that the sun is a good enough answer.

Is it the last fruit of Laurelin? Or Laurelin itself?

As for mine, no one has guessed it yet. Remember, it's not an emblem, emblem is only slightly closer!

Can't anyonone guess my riddle? I thought it was easy...

my 300th post! Yahoo!

***Earniel*** · 03-30-2002, 04:47 PM

So many riddles, ack they hurt my poor brain!

An eagle soaring through the skies
Carrying destiny upon its wings
Swiftly in silver it flies
As the crown it flings

Thorongil?

"The mark of splendor
Lost to knowledge,
Newly remembered."

Anduril?

Nope!

Menelvagor · 03-30-2002, 05:49 PM

Geez, I'm giving up on ElfGirl's.

My brain hurts too.

***Earniel*** · 03-30-2002, 05:55 PM

I've made one up myself. *glowers proudly*

She speaks no word
yet her calls are heard
to surround, advance, retreat
always moving, never sweet

Her lonely sight is cleared
her anger better feared
fighting her grants no gain
the mountains she cannot reign

You'll probably guess it in a minute but it was fun making. I got two other ones ready and waiting!

Um elf girl, the moon?

Yes, mine gave up long ago... *another vessel pops*

Hey! Elf girl, I think we're ready for the answer now!

Anduril?

Nope. A clue: not really a sentient being, per se.

I agree with Beard, the Sea?

***Earniel*** · 03-30-2002, 06:33 PM

Told you, you'd guess it in a minute, Gollum would have slit my throat by now. Although I shouldn't have put in "fighting her grants no gain" as Beardofpants will probably have remembered the 'too mercyful for Saruman-thread'

But very good of the two of you!

Here's another one:

Voices heard but unseen
always there have been
beginning but not the end
from up to down they went

Alright, come on, expose me for the lousy riddler I am!

Ah, that's a tricksy one. A waterfall/spring?

Nimrodel?

As for mine, it's not the moon. I'm sure someone can guess it, I'm not posting the answer!

Elf Girl · 03-30-2002, 07:26 PM

Oh, and here's a hint: The answer can be found in bk. 2 of FotR.

Elrond? Elbereth? (Grasping at straws...)

Shadowfax?
