The White Tree? Has that already been guessed? No, 'cause it wasn't lost to knowledge. Maybe I should read the Silmarillion now!

Ah! Elf Girl, I guessed the Elfstone right away...but everyone else got to it first...since I got here a bit late...

No, not the white tree... on the right track though.

aaahh! Okay, but you said I was on the right track, that' good. Could it be one of the Two Trees that Morgoth burned? Don't remember them...

Or is it something from Numenor? Yeah, I think that's it...could I find it in the appendices?

I don't know about the appendices, but it's a common enough reference in LOTR: specifically FOTR and ROTK. No, not the sceptre, nor the two trees of morgoth.

No... you were on the right track with the tree of Gondor...

Dear oh dear I turn my back on you guys for the night and you go all riddly and guessy (is that a word?) 4 new pages in 10 hours! Seems like I got some catching up to do....

Congrats for TC for guessing Elf girl's tantalizing riddle! Stupid me, to think I thought the Elassar was the answer to Beardofpants' riddle! Way to go TC! And all praise due to Elf Girl for the tough riddle.

to BeardofPants: TC is right, you post at an unbelievable speed. You reached the level of posts that I spared in 3 months in just one! Although TC's level of posting tops mine too. But I beat you both to 500! Woohoooo! I'm an elf lord now!
All bow before me! ahum.... allright random insanity attack is over. I was gonna say the answer to your riddle could be the little tree Aragorn found after his crowning, but since it's basicly the same as the white tree that Eruviel guessed. Well drat there goes my guess....

to F.B.-B. :I would say the old statue at crossroad too, somehow that's been in my mind as apossibility for nearly every riddle posted here. My mind's a trash can...

As for my own riddle, nope no correct answers yet. Keep trying!

Really what is Tater up to now? Is it because of the first of April?

Is it the seed, then, that Aragorn and Gandalf found behind the city?

No, on the right track, just ambling down the wrong path....

Oh, dang. I had to leave and look what I missed. *sniff* Anyway, I think someone should post them in order, and we can give our answers by number. Here they are. The order is random.


1)Eärniel's: The old two they hold
both warm and cold
their spirit shines bright
yet the hearts they divide

2) BeardofPants's: The mark of splendor
Lost to knowledge,
Newly remembered.

3) F.B.-B.'s: Ancient beauty to her bequeath,
Crowned with juniper branch and heath,
Evil stained, though good beneath,
Like jeweled sword in a rotted sheath
She rests beside the realm of yore,
The moon her light, the mount her door.
