The 7 gates of Minas Tirith defend the white tree (if this is correct, I was partly right the first time). The main gate and the the 7th gate face East (2) The 2nd, 4th and 6th gate face Southeast, (3) The 3rd and 5th gate face Northeast (2) Gates 2 through 6 are laid out in a switchback configuration.

Seven on watch over a sacred wood.
Two look East. Three look Southeast. Two look Northeast Quote:
In any event, the Seven Gates of Gondor do defend the tree, and you are correct once more, (as usual). Great riddling! Last edited by Keith K : 11-16-2010 at 07:41 PM. |

I am not getting anywhere with Wil's riddle (outside of little chimneys), but I do have another one of my own to submit...
Thirteen times around the sun After which youth is done. Also, the Rock Riddle is yet unsolved: Here's a pillar that can be found Where heavens crown the earthly bound. Now, where are the Riddlers of Entmoot? Come out! Come out! Riddling is fun and good for yer brain! |

Hello Midge, and well met! Thank you, for answering my call!
Thirteen times around the sun After which youth is done. Correct! Tweens it is! Here's a pillar that can be found Where heavens crown the earthly bound. Quote:
Well done, Midge! Thank you for participating! |

As far as a hint goes... Lesser known of the three Above a home to little people I should be Yes I should, this is a tough one. I have already mentioned that the "little people" are not hobbits. I will also let you know that "the three" are geographical. If another clue is needed I can help identify the "home" but, I'll let it rest with the 2 clues that are out there. Let me know if you want the 3rd clue. Good luck!

In that case I will guess Fanuidhol, one of the Mountains of Moria. Cloudyhead, if you prefer.

The 3rd clue is not required. Well done Mr. K!
Cloudyhead, Fanuidhol or even Bundushathûr is the answer I seek. The Dwarven city of Khazad-dûm was built under 3 mountains. Silvertine, Redhorn and Cloudyhead. Cloudyhead we don't hear very much about. In contrast, Silvertine was the location of the Battle of the Peak and Redhorn was the Mountain/Pass that stopped the 9 walkers from going over the mountains. It looks like we need more riddles!

Hm, could that possibly be the mirror Bilbo left to cousin (?) Angelica?

A quick guess...
The one ring Round... it's a ring... check Distort... Wearer perceives things differently.... check Bend the light... Wearer becomes invisible.... check Stretch the truth... long life and/or twists words... check A gift... Smeagol's birthday present... check Beautiful point... don't know... 5 out of 6 is pretty good.

Round I am.
My purpose to distort. I bend the light, and stretch the truth. A gift I am. Left to make a beautiful point... Quote:
Except that our resident Ent expert Earniel, has done even better by guessing correctly. Angelica's mirror is the correct answer. Jeeze, that didn't take long. Well done, Riddlers! |

I guess I could TRY posting one.
Late at night, A quiet invite. From a small height, O'er drapes of white, To the right, A foaming might, A shivery delight, A beautiful sight; A confusing plight. A squishy bite, An icky delight, Makes eyes bright, Makes fingers tight, A treacherous fright! I'm afraid I made it too easy, but I there were just SO many things that fit here.
