A milestone am I, and I sit in the middle,
where three come together to create this riddle. Quote:
I do believe that all riddles have now been matched with their solutions. I will see about writing some more soon. Anyone else feeling a bit creative? Have at it! |

My apologies to Thurin for claiming credit for his insight.

Actually, I just rechecked and found that the riddler's back that Thurin credited is likely to be Wilhelm! You were indeed the first to sUggest the proper context of the words " End of my range". It is fitting that you finished it off by providing the solution. Kudos!

A New Riddle:
Twelve that walk the earth unshod. Three whose job to to stay on guard. Six to see my lands stay free. Can you tell me who they be? Even though they're not my race. They fearlessly protect my place. To answer correctly you must interpret each line that has a number. The key number that will help solve everything is "three". Good luck, riddlers! Last edited by Keith K : 05-16-2010 at 05:01 PM. |

Here's a quick one. Hopefully a bit tougher than my previous efforts...
Cold as ice

So, what's cold as ice in Middle Earth? barrow wights nazgul wind/weather mountain waters I can't think of any of these coming in sevens. Hmmm. Dunedain like to do stuff in sevens. Barrow wights aren't very nice. Some Dunedain are Barrow Wights, so the answer must be Barrow wights. I dunno. Next!! |

A new one.
Once high upon White, Clear roads in my sight, but now covered skies Weltschmerz clouds my eyes, This no one can revive, I must go to die.

As I'm writing this I'm remembering that Farmer Maggot had 3 dogs who protected his crops... Fang, Grip and Wolf! 12 legs and 6 eyes belonging to the 3 dogs that protect the Maggot farm is my guess.

Hey Keith,

I could see that riddle taking a month of Sundays to solve - Solving it on the first attempt must be a Karma thing after how you kept us all agonizing over the Methedras riddle. Cheers Wil

First an Exporter
Then a Traitor A leader too... Tricked he was And finally murdered Who is he? The explanation of the answer is an important part of solving this one.

No, and for the same reason as Keith K's guess. The riddle suggests a readiness to die, but not necessarily for a good reason.
