No, not the Nandor... I said earlier "IT'S not a person". Just tell me if this is too difficult.

OK. The weapon is not enchanted, and as for the other one- this is HUGE. Really. Enormous.

Ah... close with wind (Lord=Manwe) and water (Lord=Ulmo). Sibling... sibling... It's probably SO very obvious. Like... light or something. Bound within Arda. There's probably light without Arda, though. And if there isn't, it doesn't explicitly say that. What does it explicitly say is bound within Arda? Not a race... you said it's an IT. So... IT is bound within Arda.. is probably explicitly stated that it's bound within Arda.. otherwords it's not outside of Arda... which is.. what? What exactly is Arda? I'm checking.

It's not the Music of the Ainur, is it? I don't think that fits, though.

You could say, "No, that's not it," if that's not it.

Uh... Does that mean it has something to do with the Beginning of time, like the firstish part of the Silmarillion? A simple yes or no will do. Because if it's yes, then we can rule out the other things from other books... it shouldn't give away too much; I've been looking at that point of view and I can't think of anything.

Well... no, not exactly the beginning of time... not that far away from it, though.

A Riddle

Precious treasure carried far
settled score from journey's scar.

Both old and new kept close within,
hidden deep and touching skin.

Earniel's Riddle

From the earth we all are fed.
Yet some who walk will eat no bread.
And when their hunger starts to grow,
they fuel their strength with H-2-O.

Earniel's Answer:

SPONGES? I can't decide if it is an animal in general, an animal specific to Middle-Earth (or indeed, all of Eä!), or a race specific to Middle-Earth...

These are Middle-Earth creatures that our resident expert, Earniel, will happily identify for you if ever she gets here. Thank you for guessing!
