I got two right, but I like guessing them more than thinking them up - can you guys make some more? Maybe I'll think of one later on today.

Made of stone.
Tall and strong.
All alone?
Or is Denathor wrong?

What is it?

Lotesse · 08-03-2005, 07:17 PM

Is it the Citadel in Minas Tirith?

me9996 · 08-04-2005, 08:23 AM

It's Minas Tirith (You were close enough)

You win:
All these smileys!

elixir · 08-11-2005, 01:42 PM

Pure as crystal
Bright as snow
Help to one
Who's all alone

brownjenkins · 08-11-2005, 01:53 PM

the phial of galadriel?

elixir · 08-12-2005, 04:35 PM

Yup!

Curubethion · 09-04-2005, 08:25 PM

Foe of foes,
Goblin's bane.
Fear and darkness
To darkness brang.
(Is "brang" a word???

)

durinsbane2244 · 09-04-2005, 08:55 PM

a balrog?

Curubethion · 09-05-2005, 05:50 PM

Good job! I thought that would be a tough one.

Curubethion · 09-06-2005, 08:20 PM

Haha...I just figured out why you got it, durinsbane2244! What was Durin's Bane? The balrog! Haha...

Curubethion · 10-04-2005, 10:45 PM

Friend of many,
Enemy of bad.
Many fierce allies
He did have.

Goblin's bane,
In Thorin's day;
His blows like rain
Made all foes pay.

littleadanel · 10-05-2005, 02:31 PM

Beorn?

I love riddles!

(even though I can't really make up one myself...

)

Curubethion · 10-05-2005, 08:42 PM

Yes, that's it.

***Valandil*** · 02-02-2007, 12:56 AM

* bumpiddy-bump-bump-BUMP! *

Anyone like to play?

(and will this summon back Keith K?)

me9996 · 02-02-2007, 05:04 PM

I'll play!

I'll do the next riddle sence we seem to be between riddles:

What has looks like a tree and won't leaf?

(I know, poor riddle, but I'm kinda pressed for thyme)

***Valandil*** · 02-02-2007, 08:48 PM

An Ent?

Let's try to get them rhyming... think of the "riddle game" Bilbo plays with Gollum.

Except that we aren't going to eat you!

me9996 · 02-03-2007, 12:07 AM

Yup, it's an ent. And I'll try to rhyme in the future

***Valandil*** · 02-03-2007, 09:56 AM

Let's try one:

In the shadows of night's edge,
I brew a heady ale,
Where dwelt once both Elves and Men,
Now I never see a sail.
