Wisest of the wise are they oldest of the old knowing more than you or I they are hidden gold. not very good i know, probably will be guessed right away. no hints until there have been 4 or more incorrect guesses!

Everyone seems completely baffled by mine, so I'll post the answer:
"The mark of splendor Lost to knowledge, Newly remembered." Kingsfoil. The art of medicine lost to alchemists, newly rediscovered when Aragorn brought his knowledge to Gondor. The keyword is splendor = Kingliness. And it is similar to my Old man Willow rilddle, because they are both plants.

wow..i feel like such an amateur riddler. i guess i didn't make it cryptic enough. yeah, the answer was Ents. although when i made that up, i was thinking first of Ents, then of the Valar, then of the Istari (wizards), and also Tom Bombadil.

Purity twisted mutilated, darkened wrought to a new shape a mockery of the old. it doesn't rhyme. so what. i think this is also a dreadfully easy chestnut, i'm new at this!

Ok, it's my first riddle, I hope it's not too easy:
Brought by light, to darkness call, shades of grey shall come ere all. |

Menelvagor-
Shadowfax? I don't really know, it was just the first thing that came to mind. . .

to Elf girl: is it Minas Tirith?
to BeardofPants: I would never have guessed that. You're way ahead of me on the riddlescale. to TinuvielChild: See? You can do it! Once you've figured out how, it's easy. to Menelvagor: Gandalf perhaps? I'll see if my brain comes up with another one.

Nope, not Shadowfax or Gandalf.
I'll give you a hint: it's not a sentient being. *groans from Mooters- oh no, not another one of THOSE* |

Menalvagor--
If it's not sentient, then it can't be the Dead that Aragorn called from the paths of the dead. Darn, that was my next guess. Okay, I'll have to go think about it. Any clues as to what book/s it is from would be much appreciated!

Congrats TC!!
Menelvagor, that riddle isn't that easy (that or I'm an unbelievable no-brain) Oh no not another one of THOSE! Anyway is it.....ummm...*thinking*.....that shadow-illness Eowyn and Merry got when they got too close to the Witch King? Say, Elf Girl (woops nearly wrote grill) could it be Lothlorien?
