Yay!! I got it the general idea!! But you're killing me with specifics.. I haven't even read the Silmarillion.. but is it the elves/Ainur being pretty depressed at the destruction?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 01:27 AM

Arr. I haven't read the entirety of the Sil. either, yet. . .not gotten to the destruction of the trees, anyway!

Nit-picking, thy name is Tano

Is it Nienna mourning the deaths of the Trees after Feanor denies the Valar the Silmarils? In the book it says that she went up to where the Trees had stood and with her tears washed away the dfilements of Ungoliant.

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 02:13 AM

Ngh.. curse you and you're reasonable replies that are specifically tailored to the question..

Elf Girl · 05-27-2002, 07:55 AM

O Evil one, am afraid that neither you nor Christiana, nor anyone else is right. Hint: I invented it.

Elf girl: Your accursed eagle thing?

Elf Girl · 05-27-2002, 11:06 AM

No. New hint: I invented it, then more people starting posting avout them because they were funny.

***Earniel*** · 05-27-2002, 11:12 AM

I got it I got it I got it!!!

HINT ALARMS!!!!!!!

Elf Girl · 05-27-2002, 11:15 AM

Very good.

Next riddle:

From gold to black
And then to green
Brings joy and healing
ere few springs seen

edit: oops.

Menelvagor · 05-27-2002, 11:21 AM

*hits self over head*

Of course, hint alarms! That's genius!

Er, for the next one, athelas? Myllern trees?

Elf Girl · 05-27-2002, 11:22 AM

I'm afraid not. *cackle cackle* A bit, bit close though.

***Earniel*** · 05-27-2002, 11:28 AM

Uh-uh, this isn't going to be another one of those hard nuts, is it?

Elanor?

Elf Girl · 05-27-2002, 11:33 AM

Yes, it is. Elanor is not correct. No hintses.

***Earniel*** · 05-27-2002, 01:29 PM

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 03:54 PM

Elf Girl: Something to do with Athelas?

Tanoliel · 05-27-2002, 10:03 PM

bingo, willow.
(did you know that frodo's original name was bingo? scary.)
Anyway, yes, you got it, it was Nienna weeping over the trees. But Mirahzi gets a point in my book too. So good job the both of you.
Heh...hint alarms. Just like you, evil..er...ELF girl.

Mirahzi · 05-28-2002, 12:55 AM

Elf Girl, is it that river that runs near Lorien.. forgot the name

At least this one's not as evil as the last

***Earniel*** · 05-28-2002, 06:07 AM

Elf Girl: Ithilien? Lothlorien? mmmm probably not, it sounds too easy....

Elf Girl · 05-28-2002, 08:33 AM

The river's name is Anduin, and no one has guessed my precious riddle. Hint: The "healing" is not metaphorical, but it does not heal any person.
