A riddle:
When it begins it is a delight to the ear, melodious, enchanting, enthralling and clear. Yet to each it sounds different for those who are near. |

Riddle:
Twelve and fifteen Never to see Swift-running stream Or sweet-grass sea. Dozen are paired; Three are alone; Three companions faired Well; but two roam. Who are the fifteen That fought? What are the twelve That rise not?

Here is a reposting of an unsolved riddle for this page: When Middle Earth is under night, there is a place where it is bright, and folk can see to their delight since they possess the liquid light. |

and another....
Unhidden Valley? Woods there were and woods there be. There also are woods to yet grow a tree. Among these last are woods foreboded, where nary a squirrel can go unnoted. |

We still have two riddles up that have not been correctly answered: 1) When Middle Earth is under night, there is a place where it is bright, and folk can see to their delight since they possess the liquid light. and 2) ‘Short‘-term gatekeepers for tower tall who dangle as witness to power’s fall.
