kashka: the ents/huorns at Helm's deep?
elf girl:the hair Galadriel gave Gimli?
willow:Ummm... the ring of air...Vilya?

Claenoic · 06-03-2002, 10:17 AM

Yep, that's right! I can't believe it, I thought it was hard... Another riddle for ya!

Ever pillared, not from stone,
The ceiling light, a yellow tone,
In days of glory, rich and fair,
But someday it will not be there.

Easy, but the best I could come up with in five minutes.

Menelvagor · 06-03-2002, 02:50 PM

Caenoic: Lorien? (wonderfully worded, btw)

Hm... hintses: what is white?

Christiana · 06-03-2002, 09:02 PM

Hey, will someone post the riddles again?

Mirahzi · 06-03-2002, 10:05 PM

Is there a difference between Lorien and Lothlorien? Or is the Loth- part just extra..

Menelvagor · 06-03-2002, 10:26 PM

Lorien is also a place and a person in Valimar, but in Middle Earth Laurelindorinan was shortened to Lothlorien was shortened to Lorien. I think it's a mortal thing, mortals don't want to waste ther time with long names.

My answer was the ME version.

Tanoliel · 06-03-2002, 11:29 PM

willow: is it Maglor?
Kashka:um...i'm still stuck...any hintses at all?
elf girl: how do you mean, not accurate? humph. go on and make it hard, then.

Oooo...is it the sheath for Anduril? Like a house to the reforged sword...

Willow Oran · 06-03-2002, 11:42 PM

Yay!!! Tano you got it right, after I told you where to look it up in the book... But you guessed it. The answer was Maglor.

Menelvagor · 06-04-2002, 01:31 PM

Death tree is a rewording of something.

Claenoic · 06-04-2002, 01:59 PM

Thank you Menelvagor. And yes that's right. Next riddle:

Over stone, under star,
Oh light child, you see afar,
War, peace, rivers fair,
Things of light, things of air.

Another easy one. Solve!

Congratulations, evil friend! Here is a new one, I tried to make it hard:

Forboding and strange
and then for a change
Merry and light
'most forgotten by might

Menelvagor · 06-04-2002, 08:51 PM

Claenoic: a palantir?

Elf Girl: Theoden? I haven't a clue.

Mirahzi · 06-04-2002, 08:57 PM

Claeonic, is it the Eagles?
Elf Girl, is it 'hobbits'?

Christiana · 06-04-2002, 10:03 PM

Claonic-a star?

Tanoliel · 06-05-2002, 01:28 AM

oh, pooh. um...geez, i'm still stuck. the clever rascal has no idea, and she is very annoyed aout this.

death tree called to death's door...if i didn't know i was about ents, i would say it was gandalf being called to stop denethor's pyre...
elf girl: is it Frodo and/or Sam? or hobbits in general?
Claenoic: Pip looking in the palantir? I guess that because it's the obvious one, but the wording seems too light for the evil things he saw.
hmmm...must cogitate somemore...

Menelvagor · 06-05-2002, 10:45 AM

Claenoic's:

Over stone, under star,
Oh light child, you see afar,
War, peace, rivers fair,
Things of light, things of air.

Elf Girl's:

Forboding and strange
and then for a change
Merry and light
'most forgotten by might

Mine:

Death tree called
to death's door,
white calls red
to make no more.

Claenoic · 06-05-2002, 12:09 PM

No one has gotten it so far. The Palantirs are a good guess, but not the right one. And I think I've come up with a conclusion. Mine are the easiest.

Elf Girl: Is it the crossing of the mountains made by the hobbits?

***Earniel*** · 06-05-2002, 02:02 PM

Fne! Me being in the middle of nassssty exams is no reason for you to forget my riddle! Fne....

A day's remembrance so to say
a separation on intent, yet a
new beginning in every way

Jador · 06-05-2002, 03:06 PM

Divorce!

***Earniel*** · 06-05-2002, 03:13 PM

Um. No. It's Middle Earth-related.
