Here are my guesses:
1)I have no idea... 2) I don't know about this one either 3) I agree, Moria I am writing another riddle, no. 4. Here the riddles are in order. 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. 4) Elf Girl's: Strangeness, Might sustsaining Pulls up and tall, It's power waning.

i don't think the answer to no. 3 is Moria, if you recall, it says "She rests beside the realm of yore", not she is the realm of yore. i do think it has something to do with Moria though.
no other guesses right now, i'll think on them some more. ![]() thank you everyone who has so far congratulated me on my lucky guess! ![]()

4) I know this is probably too obvious judging on your previous riddle, but is it ... Orthanc? (get us back on topic before a certain admin closes THIS thread....)

![]() No BeardofPants, the answer isn't the Valar. I'm quite pleased with myself here. no ine guessed my riddle yet! Now I know the trick is to keep it as short as possible and as vague as possible.

1)The old two they hold
both warm and cold their spirit shines bright yet the hearts they divide Umm, Laurelin and Telperion? Sorry I didn't check if someone tried this already.

You've guessed it Arathorn! Congrats!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes there are 3 silmarils TC, but I thought if I mentioned the number 3 it might get too easy. So instead I said "The old two they hold" meaning the light of the two trees Laurelin and Telperion whose light the silmarils have. I'll see if I can come up with a new one. ![]()

Sigh, sometimes I wish there was a webcam connected to the entmoot. I think I just missed a memorable moment. * considers* or not....
Writing riddles isn't so hard TC. You pick something you want to make a riddle about, you take some aspects of it, pour it in sentences and make then rhyme. Well now I've put it more simple than it is but that's the basic riddle. Nice and not too hard (see mine ![]()
