Um. I'm no good at riddling, but I'll try.
A clear, bright star where stars are none, From the land of light down into night Shining true to guide the two. Ok. Pretty easy. But it's the best I could do.

I reckon so, too.
I'll reiterate mine and add another: Out from the West Predecessor blest A fair pale glow No kin to show The heirloom of ancestry Now shines inconsistently Passed from race to race Cohort of evil it did face As red as fire it did appear Now it's gone, far west of here They're both fairly tough, but you can do it! Come on, or else I'll do more.

Oh, is that first one Aragorn, Nibs?
and by the way, for F.B.-B. (I think you posted this one), Arwen gave the elfstone to Galadriel to give to Aragorn if he passed through Lorien. (It came from Galadriel to her daughter Celebrion to her daughter Arwen, back--temporarily--to Galadriel, who then gave it to Aragorn in token of Arwen's love.) -tano

Narsil/Anduril, Nibs, for the first?

Good going on the second one, Tanoliel! Right on! However, the first remains. Aragorn and Narsil are not correct. Let me give you a hint: for the last two verses, think Silmarillion. I said this was a toughie, if that is how you spell that word.

Hey, that's not fair! I haven't finished the Sil yet! What part of it? *sigh* Oh well. At least I got Narya right.

Nope. Sorry. Closer, though.

Nazgul, yes! Angmar, well, no, but you practically have the answer in your sentence! The Witch Realm of Angmar. And since few people have studied the maps to the degree that is needed to see the answer to the last, no one is likely to get it. Lothlorien is where northern Germany is now. An interesting congruence is the Elbe/Elf River where the Silverlode was. Another riddle ... hmm... Dreams, visions while you search Rooted past, lofty perch. Where am I to thine eye? Winter passes unpassed. Call unto them at last. Where now then, my young friend? Bleached stones and lightened self. Elf, yes, and yet not elf. Who am I to thine eye? In my hand, in my heart, In the wood, given art. Mastery: what does it be? There is a seperate answer for each section, but they all link together. Have fun!

Beardydil! It is good to see you here. But what do you mean by quoting me and saying nothing? Haha. Have you tried a song yet? You should ... Maybe we could collaborate.
Anyway, I hope to see more posts from you soon, my friend. (P.S. Could you please explain your signature? It has me baffled.)

Wait! Nibs's riddle: Whichever elven ring Galadriel had, I forgot which one it was... er, the Ring of Adamant, that's frustrating I can't remember he name...
