I was looking at Thorins Map when I came up with that little riddle. The Withered Heath is one of those far away places that only appear on maps and are not mentioned in the text. Places like that seem to fire my imagination. I see Dragon dens scattered around, sorta like a breeding ground.

Thanks for the welcome Valandil. It is good to see you again too!

As an active player in middle-earth’s affairs
of all that happens I am aware.
I gather my news from different streams
and render my will through commanding dreams.

Radagast The Brown · 12-20-2003, 04:46 PM

Ulmo?

Keith K · 12-20-2003, 05:42 PM

Ulmo is correct.

Christiana · 12-22-2003, 06:32 PM

Hint: it's not only effective in middle earth

***Valandil*** · 12-22-2003, 07:30 PM

Eru? aka Iluvatar...

Christiana · 12-22-2003, 07:54 PM

Nah
Hint: not a person ((least i don't think so)

Falagar · 12-22-2003, 08:19 PM

I'm not good at making poems, but is it the Imperishable Flame (aka Ëa)?

Christiana · 12-23-2003, 05:58 PM

Rosie Gamgee · 12-23-2003, 08:57 PM

Sorry fer not gettin' back to ye!!

In the first post 1 is indeed Merry in Bree, 2 is Weathertop, and 3 is the Elves of Mirkwood.
In the second post Beorn is right for #1. #2 and #3 haven't been guessed yet. I'll re-post 'em:

#2
I got my tea;
They'd just have to pout.
But it was not my relatives
That were without.

#3
Battle-scarred, time-worn
I lay there still.
Many hands my insides adorn
Belong to those they came to kill.
I am found among a ruin
My insides described aloud
My words are yet repeated
And the fear of them enshroud.

Sorry again about not posting!!

Christiana · 12-23-2003, 10:53 PM

some random gueses for #3:a Great Ring?Saruman?Is it a person?

Rosie, Beor guessed 'barrow downs' for this one on 12-10... was that correct.

No need to apologize. We appreciate you posting the challenges!

Rosie Gamgee · 12-30-2003, 06:13 PM

Yer both wrong. #3 is not a person, btw. I can't believe I may be stumping you guys!

I don't know if this has been guessed before, but is it the Book of Mazarbul?

Rosie Gamgee · 12-30-2003, 09:29 PM

Yup, yup.

Christiana · 01-01-2004, 03:58 PM
