Here comes the next riddle:
Elanor, Rosie, Frodo, and Merry. Goldilocks, Pippin, here is my query: Who are these people, and tell me whether, there is a reason they’re listed together? |

They are listed together because they are all the children of Sam Gamgee.

Another brother riddle....
These two renowned brothers, explorers both, crossed the brown river, eyes wide with hope. To carve a new home from the wide empty spaces, sent by Argeleb II, who gave his good graces. |

A New Riddle I have composed for y'all....
Two Signs Young but old. New birth from ancient beginning. Sign of a new age, Replacing a withered past. Sign of fading and departure, Laid gently to rest. So much was saved, So much must pass away. Scion of the eldest, Ripens and bears fruit. To raise once again A fountain to glory. |

Here's an easy riddle....
Ambassador of Middle-Earth, Kindred to Elves and Men. Parting shadows in his path, A message for to send. To those who dwell beyond the wave, And watch us from afar, He was returned to Middle-Earth As hope born on a star. |

Hmm Keith K.... I'm not very good at this game, but your latest riddle sounds like the you are speaking of the Star Gil-Estel. So I'll say, Earendil?

Here's some clues: The fountain referred to is one in the Court of the King in Minas Tirith. The first stanza refers to one sign, and the second stanza refers to the other sign. The third stanza refers back to the top one. To answer the riddle you must reveal what each sign was. (Hint: both signs are from the same origin, one being a descendant of the other) (does this make it even more confusing?) The entire episode can be referenced in The Return of the King.

It refers to the White Tree(s). The old one which stood in Minas Tirith was withered, a sign of death and the passing of an age, and the the young one found by Aragorn after he became King of Gondor, a sign of renewal and life. They were the seedlings of one of the Two Trees which gave light to ME before Morgoth destroyed them (I forget which on it was, though).

Who are we?
A remnant of an ancient race We are said to be. Folk call us strange and befriend us not, Yet aid we give to thee. For in our far-off land that lies beyond the mighty bay, We feed and shelter those poor souls Whose paths have gone astray. We run with bones upon our feet, On lands with little sod. Our wheel-less carts go to and fro Where strangers seldom trod. |
