The rangers are not part of this riddle. Also, it is not necessarily a battle horn. Keep guessing! |

Could you give us a hint on the use of the word "range?" It's stumping me and my two guesses have already been rejected...

Could it be the Entwives? Tending gardens and caring for the land? Well, it's a guess anyway... Nice riddle, EllethValatari!

Good guess, but no! You're thinking in the right region of ME though...

*musters up another guess
Okay, is it Theoden? The "last horns blowing" could refer to Theoden hearing his last horns, or something like that...as for "at the end of his range," Theoden was killed at the Fords of Isen, which at the border of Rohan, therefore, at the end of his territory or range of power. *crosses fingers*

That is creative thinking, but it's not even near. Except that the solution To Theoden would be clear. |

They had reached the maximum range of their retreat and/or the Hornburg is located at the end of the White Mountain Range...

While this is also incorrect, in some ways this is the closest guess yet. And even though NEL is right about who died at the Fords, Theodred too, would be able to easily answer my riddle.

Tom Bombadil, bidding the hobbits goodbye. He says, "Tom's land ends here; he will not pass his borders." That's certainly the end of his range, and of course his loud singing away could be likened to a horn blowing. That's my guess. Until I can think of a better answer, this one will stand, but by heavens, I doubt Theoden or Theodred would know this.

KEITH K's Riddle Information. All guesses are incorrect, and there are some hints included below. I find it easier if I don't have to scroll up and down the page looking for things that have already been guessed.

Thanks Midge. A good proactive and helpful step.
My 2nd guess that it was the Hornburg itself was omitted from your list. But, I don't think it adds much value anyways. I will make a 3rd guess... The Horn of the Mark carried by Merry Brandybuck.

I am quite confident that I know the answer now, due mostly to standing on the shoulders of giants (my fellow riddlers)!
Mt. Mindolluin upon which sits Minas Tirith. It is at the end of the White Mountain range which in Elvish is called Ered Nimrais which translates as Whitehorn Mountains. Great riddle Keith! |
