Erm... I'm guessing this is what it looks like: 1. Stars 2. Sun 3. Moon 4. Laurelin and Telperion 5. Tops of mountains, or ... more stars? 6. Maybe Valar? Or Evil? Stanzas to a song? Which song? Chambers that make up a building? Obviously it's something to do with Elves. Not on a Gondorian emblem, or elvish holidays. It is one thing made up of six different parts, not six different things that have something in common? I can't remember what Val is good at... unless that was a hint to say that it was from around the time of Valandil. Which I am not very good at either. Okay. Giving up momentarily. [menacingly] I'll be back... [/menacingly]

Huh. I missed my window, but I wouldn't have known that anyway.

Congratulations, Val.
The last line was a bit off - "The Powers that never sleep" bring to mind Evil powers, not the Valar. The Valar sort of sleep all the time. But I am proud of incorporating "Heavens cold and steep" - it is stolen right from "the Hobbit". |

Those goofy Elves and their six-day week. I should have known that. I'm becoming a slacker reading so much non-Tolkien lately that I no longer grok the Elves.

You don't grok the Elves? I'm confused, DPR!

I'm more of an adventurous Brandybuck than an Elf, I'm afraid.

Sorry, my bad.
I can't really define 'grok' for you unless you can speak Martian. But if you read Heinlein's "A Stranger In A Strange Land" you will begin to grok, but not in fullness. It won a Hugo, so you know it's good lit. You'll never look at someone offering you a glass of water the same way again.

Not the greatest Wiki entry but it's close enough. I would still recommend the book when you have time.
Apologies to all for the OT. Back to riddling.

Okay. I'll remember that.

Still looks like one of the gifts from Galadriel to the Fellowship. Which one I don't know...
