Elf Girl-Lothlorien? Is it a place(s)?

Elf Girl · 06-08-2002, 11:50 AM

Nope. *cackle cackle* It is not a place.

Carafin · 06-08-2002, 07:43 PM

Willow Oran · 06-08-2002, 11:15 PM

Carafin, Does your riddle refer to the Istari?

Mirahzi · 06-08-2002, 11:25 PM

Carafin, is it the races of elves (i.e. Noldor, etc)?

The Ringbearer · 06-09-2002, 02:40 AM

Can you post riddles anytime, or only if you solve a riddle?

***Earniel*** · 06-09-2002, 04:34 AM

Close Tano, but not entirely. I'll give a hint: the day I posted the riddle is of significance.

Ringbearer, you can post a riddle whenever you want.

Mirahzi · 06-09-2002, 04:44 AM

Earniel, is it the the eleventy-first birthday of Bilbo? (And the coming-of-age birthday of Frodo)

***Earniel*** · 06-09-2002, 04:50 AM

It is indeed.

Mirahzi · 06-09-2002, 04:51 AM

Yay for me! I'd like to thank the Academy.. and all the little people. Especially you, tano

Elf Girl · 06-09-2002, 09:04 AM

Reposting:

Menelvagor
Death tree called
To deaths door
White calls red
To make no more

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

Claenoic
One, then many
One once more,
Fire forging
Fire for war

Carafin
First two, then three
Five there were
Three were taken
Two destroyed
Three perhaps may be recovered
Two will never be restored

Mine has not been guessed. Hint: "merry" has nothing to do with Merry as in Merry and Pippin.

Kashka: Pippin looking into the Palantir?
Claenoic: The quest of the Ring?
Carafin: I haven't read all of the Sil...

Carafin · 06-09-2002, 09:27 AM

Tano you're close that's part of it

Elf girl could it be hobbits or maybe Ents?

Claenoic could it be Aragorns sword was it named Anduril = flame?

I myself have only read a little of the sil

sorry if any of these have already been guessed

Menelvagor · 06-09-2002, 11:23 AM

Carafin: the sons of Feanor? (wild guess- grasping at straws)

No right answers to mine yet. Hint: white is a person but red is a thing. I'm going to post the answer tomorrow: I'm going on vaction, who knows when I'll be near a computer.

Elf Girl · 06-09-2002, 03:23 PM

Nope, mine has not been guessed. Carafin, Elves?

Mirahzi · 06-09-2002, 05:16 PM

Claeonic.. is it the calling of arms to Gondor and the mustering of Rohan, etc, etc, etc.. ?

Carafin · 06-09-2002, 06:14 PM

still no correct geusses to mine and I am drawing a complete blank on the others

Tano was very close in geussing the silmarils but that is only part of the answer (specifically the part refering to the "three")
elf girl could it be tom bombadil, you know he's sorta strange and he's merry ...*grasping at straws*

Mirahzi · 06-09-2002, 06:19 PM

Carafin, is it the sources of the light of the trees.. Laurelin, Telperion, and the three Silmarils?

'Fraid not. "might" is a person, but "might" is not the answer. He/she is only involved in the answer. And, of course, "might" is mighty!

Claenoic · 06-09-2002, 07:02 PM

Whoever guessed Anduril was right.

A list, a rustle,
Fathomless green wells,
Deep voices from woods,
A sad farewell.

All of mine are simple. I expect it will be solved within a day. Get solving!

Get solving! __________________ Very Biased Alternate Script (but it's funny!):Click here! FREAK RAIN!!!!!!!! O.o Queen of prolonged unexplained absences and long, loooong car rides. Well, hullo everyone. As you can see, I don't hang out here muchly anymore. There's a good reason for this. Y'see, I've been hanging out at a different chatboard called Cardboardia. So far, I've been havin' a blast. Not that I don't love the TLA, but the magic of Entmoot is lost on me. So, as soon as TLA ends, so will my existance here, probably. Who knows though? I might stay. Highly unlikely however. This is a good bye in advance, then. Unless you want to join me and my group of friends at Cardboardia. Cheers!
