Wasn't it Maglor that cast his Silmaril in the sea and Maedhros that cast his (and himself aswell) in the fires?

'nother guess: Gothmog?

What about this little, easy, riddle?

It's always white,
Standing high and tall,
There live the great one,
Watching from this wall.

Is it Taniquetil?

Radagast The Brown · 06-03-2004, 06:37 AM

Yup.

It's been a long time since I read the Silmarillion, so I'm not sure of my answer; could it be one of the sons of Feanor that died in Dagor Bragollach (sorry I don't have his name)?

Beren3000 · 06-03-2004, 04:10 PM

here's a riddle (I know it's too easy, but it's my first try)...

Very high I used to stand
In the mid of proud starland
But if you now ride the sea
You won't see the head of me

What am I?

Radagast The Brown · 06-03-2004, 04:20 PM

Meneltarme? The mountain in the middle of Numenor.

Beren3000 · 06-03-2004, 04:24 PM

Yep (next time it wouldn't be that easy!)

That's what I said after my first time.

I came from the sky,
Yet I don't know to fly.
I murdered many, an Elf and a man,
I don't regret of killing any of them.

Beren3000 · 06-04-2004, 04:10 AM

Maybe snow from the Long Winter?

Radagast The Brown · 06-04-2004, 04:52 AM

Nope.

When I think of it now - it's extremely hard... but try it, after more 2 guesses, if wrong, I'll give a hint.

Väinämöinen · 06-04-2004, 05:22 AM

One of the Nazgul after losing their horses and getting those flying cratures?

***Valandil*** · 06-04-2004, 06:48 AM

Orc arrows?

Radagast The Brown · 06-04-2004, 08:50 AM

No, and no.... probably too hard, with not enough clues.

So i'll add this:

I was first a servant of a Dark Elf,
then of a Grey Elf,
and in the end of a man whom I killed.

***Valandil*** · 06-04-2004, 09:32 AM

Oh - don't worry about making it hard... that's the POINT (within reason).

Someone else will have to help me with the name, but it's now apparent that it's Turin's sword... the one he got from Thingol, with which he killed Beleg and Glaurung.

Beren3000 · 06-04-2004, 09:35 AM

I think its name was the Mormegil (I know Turin was named the Mormegil but this means "the black sword)...so?

Beren3000 · 06-04-2004, 10:51 AM

Try this one:

A fiery bright
Stone of white
In mountains shone
and halls of stone.

Arkenstone?

Väinämöinen · 06-04-2004, 11:01 AM
