Thanks NEL.
I came up with a little riddle of my own that I would like to post, if I may. Sun and Moon From ground to sky Unshining, unmoving One in East, one in West The great border passing beneath |

I think it's high time I posted another one. I need to sleep now currently, though. I'll try tomorrow.

That's the one.
This riddling thing is a little trickier than I realized. I thought I had come up with a riddle with one answer, but your first answer fits just as well as mine. Well, maybe I'll try again sometime. |

Here is an easy one
Hidden star in a coal-black tower That the world lost hope to recover Yet one day It found its way To the one who rose in power |

The path from Power to Doom
Over nothing does it loom Yet it goes high and wide To solve this, step aside! Poor rhyming, I know.

Is it not Sauron's highway M1 (Barad Dur -Mt.Doom), perchance?

Sure, one would know that road if one has to to send an orc crew to repair it every second week! Imagine the cost...
Good riddle - congratulations, NEL! |

This thread has stopped on it's running tracks.
Created before it's true time A deadly dirge it did chime For the Southern Northerners Who now lay in rocky graves

Sorry, no. This was mentioned only a few times, IIRC.

... This has been left out for a long time. I forgot how fun riddling was. The warning bell of Buckland? The only thing I can think of that was created before a true time were the dwarves. I'm stuck. And I have homework. Check that: is it the bomb that Saruman created? If its true time is like... not in ME years, because bombs are more industrial... and the Southern Northerners in the rocky graves are the Rohirrim who were killed when it exploded and rained the stone wall on top of them. The dirge would be the noise it made when it went off. This makes sense to me. Is it the answer?

Yay! I'm a hero and savior! (fortunately for everyone, not THE Savior... ).
I am a terrible riddler, but I'll post one soon, if I can find the time. I miss riddles... they are pretty fun. I kind of have impressed myself, that I got one that no one else did.
