Just to re-iterate the only riddle left standing. I'll make one up again soon.

Noble Elf Lord · 08-05-2008, 02:58 PM

Here goes...

Bound within Arda
Forever without a king.
Always has a lord
To the lost one I'm a sibling.

Hope this is not too easy. Just felt like riddling.

Noble Elf Lord · 08-10-2008, 04:10 AM

C'mon, people, throw guesses! There's no progress here.

Midge · 08-10-2008, 09:03 PM

You know, I think in general, things we think are too easy are really hard. They just seem easy because we start with the answer and describe the answer to make the riddle.

I need to think about your riddles, Noble. Gimme some minutes.

The Balrog?

***Earniel*** · 08-13-2008, 07:11 AM

I'm thinking Elrond instead...

***Valandil*** · 08-13-2008, 07:32 AM

Or maybe Galadriel? (in a similar vein)

Noble Elf Lord · 08-14-2008, 02:01 PM

No right guesses yet. And... well... the guesses really aren't anything like the answer.

Keep trying, though!

***Earniel*** · 08-14-2008, 02:06 PM

Well then, how about a hint?

Noble Elf Lord · 08-14-2008, 02:38 PM

OK. It's not a person. And: bound within Arda... just think what you can fit in there!

Midge · 08-14-2008, 03:41 PM

The wind?

Not sure how that fits with the sibling part, though...

Noble Elf Lord · 08-15-2008, 11:07 AM

Not the wind, but you are kinda getting closer... Sort of. In a way.

The last sane person · 08-15-2008, 09:04 PM

Wild stab in the dark, but is it a Silmaril?

Noble Elf Lord · 08-16-2008, 01:59 AM

Oh gosh, you stabbed the wrong thing!

And Silmaril moved away grom the right answer. Good guess though.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 08-16-2008, 12:19 PM

I can only think of 'water' as they 'always had a lord' in Ulmo. I don't see how the sibling thing fits, though.

Midge · 08-17-2008, 09:47 AM

That was my train of thought with the "wind"... only the lord was Manwe.

You're getting closer...

Midge · 08-19-2008, 04:44 PM

The Sun?

Noble Elf Lord · 08-21-2008, 11:12 AM

No, not the Sun. Again, you're getting colder.

Finarfin-1 · 08-29-2008, 12:24 AM

The Nandor/Green Elves?

The Elves are bound within Arda.
After Denethor's death they took no King ever again.
They took Thingol as overlord once they moved into Ossiriand.
The Nandor are Teleri, Thingol was lost for an age. One could say they were siblings of his, being of his blood.

If not the Nandor/Green-Elves, then how about the Elves whose elvish name meant The Forsaken People, who later became the people of Doriath?
