That's it Valandil.

You solved it. No, perhaps not 'great' forts. Maybe I should have written 'white forts'. Or something else.

Thanks, but Count Comfect actually said it first.

Yes, another mistake I made. *sigh*

Next time, guess even if you're not sure.

So here's another riddle -

He loved the daughter of the King,
But was captured in a war,
He came back with a friend,
And her love was no longer his.

Och! I remember the guy but forget his name!

Shall I beat around the bush and name his friend and his love?

No.

Of course you can. Maybe someone else will know his name from your clues.

***Valandil*** · 07-13-2004, 12:27 PM

The friend (and then rival) was Turin Turambar. I think the girl's name was Finduilas.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 07-13-2004, 12:52 PM

Gwindor.

***Valandil*** · 07-13-2004, 12:59 PM

THAT's the guy! Poor fella oughta at least get a dog named after him or something!

Ethnic Cleansing in Middle-Earth
Discriminated by their racial kin
Forced to move and westward wend.
Banished from their homes back east
Just because they were the least.
A long wall then became their home
before once more they’re forced to roam.
Slain and hunted by usurpers new
their race had dwindled to a few.
Banished from their home once more
they eked out life in days of yore.
Returning to their prior home
the final remnant was alone.
This last settlement was in vain
as now a third race had him slain.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 07-13-2004, 01:42 PM

The Petty Dwarves?

Radagast The Brown · 07-13-2004, 01:53 PM

It is Gwindor, yes.

I'm a present given
From a King to a Lord,
Bright like the stars
That shines in the sea.

Not certain who among Elves gave them, but the palantiri?

Nope.

The Elves in Tol Eresea gave them to the Lord of Andunie (you probably know this part though).
