Riddling. - Page 16

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.

TinuvielChild · 04-01-2002, 04:12 PM

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!

TinuvielChild · 04-01-2002, 04:18 PM

hey guys, i'd like to post a riddle but i can't seem to make it rhyme...i'll do some rearranging and get back to you on it.

TinuvielChild · 04-01-2002, 04:20 PM

oh and the sunglasses appear to be gone from the Ent...Tater says that he thinks it was Nolendil that was behind it.

1) One of the Valar god/goddess couples?

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....)

The big mellyrn in Caras Galadon? The mellyrn Sam planted? any mellyrn?

***Earniel*** · 04-02-2002, 05:29 AM

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.

Elf Girl · 04-02-2002, 08:10 AM

No one has guessed mine. Mellyrn are closer.

Arathorn · 04-02-2002, 08:24 AM

1)The old two they hold
both warm and cold

Umm, Laurelin and Telperion?

Sorry I didn't check if someone tried this already.

***Earniel*** · 04-02-2002, 11:12 AM

No Arathorn not Laurelin and Telperion, but you're close.

Arathorn · 04-02-2002, 11:17 AM

Illuin and Ormal, then? (the Lamps of the Valar)

***Earniel*** · 04-02-2002, 11:34 AM

Arathorn · 04-02-2002, 11:44 AM

The Silmarils?

TinuvielChild · 04-02-2002, 02:55 PM

weren't there 3 Silmarils???

***Earniel*** · 04-02-2002, 03:00 PM

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.

Arathorn · 04-02-2002, 03:04 PM

*makes V-signs with his fingers and does this Rohirric jig* Hooyaa!

TinuvielChild · 04-02-2002, 03:06 PM

i don't even want to know what Arathorn means by the Rohirric jig....

TinuvielChild · 04-02-2002, 03:08 PM

and i probably ought to say, before anyone begs me for riddles, that i'm better at answering them than creating them, which says something about my riddle-creating skills!!! (to spell it out: i suck!)

***Earniel*** · 04-02-2002, 03:37 PM

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

) Give it a try sometime.
