No ents Azalea.

A good one BoP, never would have guessed that one.

Menelvagor: Nimrodel?

Elf Girl: a silmaril?

BeardofPants · 04-11-2002, 05:45 AM

Earniel: You say it is a race... is it a mortal one, or a divine one? ...

My latest guesses: Men? Dwarves? Ainur? er...

Elf Girl · 04-11-2002, 07:27 AM

Menelvagor:
Not to come where piliager rests
opon the shadow way
light is brought to deaths dark door
thus the winds doth sway

Elf Girl:
Ever-changing, dark and bright,
The stars are mastered by the one,
Who causes joy and fright.

Eärniel:
wildfaced
yet menminded
stepsraised
the twokinded

I'm re-posting them on the new page. Yes, I'm sure mines not the moon, and it's not a Silmaril. As for a hint: The last line describes an episode that involves the answer to this riddle, whereas the whole riddle is a thing.

Good guess, but not right. The line about the piliager refers to a very specific line of Aragorn's.

None of those I'm afraid. Mortal or divine...now what shall I say? *glares at newly bought hintalarm as it glares mutely back* Well it's a.... *glares again at silent hintalarm and whispers* mortal race *hintalarm starts blaring, Eärniel choves it in a drawer*

A specific line of Aragorn's? There is more than one Aragorn? *remembers* Hey yes there was! Just what are we looking for here? A person, place, event,thing? hint, any chance on a hint?
I'll try a guess anyway. Umbar?

Elf Girl: a palantir?

Menelvagor · 04-11-2002, 01:51 PM

It's a thing.

Nope.

Elf Girl · 04-11-2002, 06:54 PM

Oh, and here's a hint: the whole riddle is literal. Nothing is a metephor. *a package that the mailman has just delivered from Granny goes off, sounding suspiciously like the broken hint alarm*

BeardofPants · 04-11-2002, 07:00 PM

Elf Girl: The Sun?

Elf Girl · 04-11-2002, 07:04 PM

No. Remember, it has nothing to do with the sky. *now-unwrapped hint alarm gives it's repeated-hint noise*

TinuvielChild · 04-11-2002, 10:06 PM

if everyone has made their guesses on my "obvious" riddle, then i will post the answer. it's the letter "e"!

***Earniel*** · 04-12-2002, 03:34 AM

Elf Girl:fire?

Menelvagor: a feänorean lamp?

TC: didn't know that one, must remember it to use on sister

Elf Girl · 04-12-2002, 07:57 AM

Nope. Hint:It's only in Tolkien's works. *hint alarm goes off*

***azalea*** · 04-12-2002, 09:26 AM

Menelvagor: Is it the Silmaril that Earendil wore, the Flammifer of Westernesse?

Menelvagor · 04-12-2002, 06:02 PM

Nope, not a silmaril or a Feanorian lamp.

Hint: your thinking of the light in the wrong way.

*hint alarm buzzes mildly*

Hey! When did I get one of those things?! Get it away!

***azalea*** · 04-12-2002, 06:16 PM

Kingsfoil?

Elf Girl · 04-12-2002, 06:48 PM

Not kingsfoil to mine, but I'm not sure who that was meant for. Here's a hint: *glares at hint alarm Granny sent* Think water. *hint alarm goes completely berserk*

BeardofPants · 04-12-2002, 07:07 PM

Galadriel's Mirror? Has that been said?

Elf Girl · 04-12-2002, 07:11 PM

You're right! Good for you! I'll think up a new one and post it as soon as I can.

BeardofPants · 04-12-2002, 07:25 PM

Gah! That was one of the first answers I thought of, but I thought it was waaaay of base. Oh well....
