Melkor does fit, yet he was not considered much of a craftsman - although he obviously coveted the craft works of others - leading to the sorrow of many.

Here's another little riddle for y'all to solve:

Dressed in white on a field of green,
I am seen where kings of men have been.

Semantics? Ha! You've been riddling with me long enough to know that I am a stickler for such things...

And yes, simbelmyne, the everwhite flowers that grow on the barrows of the Kings of Rohan is the correct answer as you well knew.

New riddles will be forthcoming. Perhaps I can create some tomorrow when I finally have a whole day off.

Here's a little riddle that ought to keep y'all busy for a bit..

Small to the big, and big to the small.
When trespassed against, then loudly it calls.

If I'm right, maybe I should start waiting 24 hours after Keith K posts them.

The two of us think too much alike.

Noodles and Ninnyhammers! I thought for sure that would stump y'all.

It was the wallet of William to be exact. Good one, Val.

No guesses today, eh?

Well, here's one that anybody with a book can solve...

Six Eggs & Ham or Ova easy, please.

Six eggs “fried, not poached” was spoken.
Ham on the side of eggs left unbroken.

Whose kingly breakfast is this?

Another riddle:

My appetite grows, Middle Earth is my bread.
For more than an age I’ve swallowed the Dead.

Durin of the Longbeards? (though I don't see how the last four words fit it)

They fit because he saw a crown reflected by the stars when he first looked in the Mirrormere.

In any event you are correct. Durin the Deathless is the answer to the riddle.

Plus, you are correct on the other two riddles as well.

Bravo, and many kudos to you for playing so well.

King of a great realm I died on the field,
With my sons, full grown.
One should have stayed behind but he came,
In disguise, and died alone.
After many sons of my daughter came one,
To take once more my throne.

Thassiscorrect... Ondoher!

The sons who died at the same battle as him were Artamir and Faramir. (this is in 1944 of the Third Age - and so is not the Faramir we all know and love)

His daughter Firiel was already married to Arvedui, who would become the last King of Arthedain. From them was eventually descended Aragorn - who would take Ondoher's throne... the next actual descendant of his to do so.
