Another one:
Presented clothed, hiding covered, dwindling slowly, traveling longer, bringing bitterness, stirring anger: jealousy. trickery, mockery. gone.

You got it! Yes, it's about Denethor...he was in the White Tower, then he was under skies covered by Sauron's clouds, and then he became depressed because he couldn't get ahold of the ring and saw no other way to overcome Sauron, then he killed himself. Good riddling!

Here's a new one for y'all to have fun with.
I was not born to be a seer. Or oracle to make things clear. So writing is my best device for sending out so much advice. Some sure think I'm way to brash, and what I write is naught but trash. Good luck, riddlers! Last edited by Keith K : 05-19-2010 at 06:09 PM. |

The Petty Dwarves have a history similar to these words. Not sure how the presented clothed thing fits though. I just wanted to guess something while I was here.

Thanks Elleth and Wilhelm.
I forgot that I had posted a riddle earlier: Dark crowns in a giant green bowl, Impatient sounds far below For which Midge answered: Quote:
I think Petty Dwarves is a better answer, but this could also apply to Gollum, though the “Presented clothed” part is a problem here too. Last edited by CAB : 05-19-2010 at 08:45 PM. |

Frodo's aunt Dora Baggins...who apparently wrote many letters containing much advice, for which she received a trash can from Bilbo at his party.

I can give a hint, but I want to see if anyone else has a guess.

I'll post this again so you don't have to scroll all the way up:
Presented clothed, hiding covered, dwindling slowly, traveling longer, bringing bitterness, stirring anger: jealousy. trickery, mockery. gone.

He entered clothed, then lost some items after being taken captive and hid in Orc disguise, he dwindled under the power of the ring, the route was lengthened by the march towards the Black gate and the rest of it can all be tied back to march to the volcano and the encounters with Gollum (including "gone" when gollum falls into the crack of doom).

Yes, Keith, it does. But no, it's not the Light of the Simarils, or anything to do with the Simarils. As I said earlier, it's an LoTR quote
