Okay. It could be the Seven Rings of the Dwarves. I'll bet Sauron had his pants on when he handed them out!

This is another excellent, yet incorrect, guess.
Hint: This is a The Hobbit riddle. Quote:
Wild guess: The pipe-weed that Merry or Pippin (can't remember which) recovered at Isengard that Saruman later took from him on the road. |

Presented clothed, hiding covered, dwindling slowly, traveling longer,
bringing bitterness, stirring anger: jealousy. trickery, mockery. gone. Getting warmer, but no! Same type of situation, though...

OK - then it's Bilbo up in the tree in Mirkwood, seeing the emperor butterflies at the treetops - at a location where the ground sloped up all around (so he couldn't see far) - and the Dwarves were impatiently calling up to him to tell them what was going on.

Yes, actually, it is. It was presented "clothed" in a leaf, it was "hiding" with Frodo and Sam as they traveled through Mordor, it dwindled slowly because it was so filling, it traveled longer because it dwindled slowly, Gollum hated it and thought all Hobbit food was bitter, or at least it made him bitter, it made him mad,
and then that built in with his jealousy of Frodo with the Ring caused him to take it, mock Sam, and throw it away.

Only you can lead them through; awake the allegiance owed to you.
To answer this riddle, you must identify "you" and "through" what that person can lead them. Riddle on, Riddlers!

I'll go with the obvious - you=Aragorn and through the Dwimorberg.

Correct! Easy riddle

I should note that it is not so much as a toll, but rather a fee. In any case, it's a cost. As traders, the Dwarves might know of it, but Gandalf and Bilbo definitely would. Thanks for trying. Please guess again. |

Here's the question: In the books did Gollum throw away the Lembas? If so can you please point me at the passage. I know he did in the movie but I have no recollection of it occurring in writing. When I was thinking if Lembas was the answer to the riddle I recalled the movie scene and the trickery/mockery that it represented but, could not (and still can't) recall or find the passage in the book where this happens. As a matter of record, I have no issue with scenes from the movie being part of a riddle - it will open up some additional creative options. I think it makes our sandbox that little bit bigger.

Sure he did. He crumbled them all over Sam. And then he through the rest down the mountain. And that's what made Frodo tell Sam to go home.
I SAW him do it... I KNOW he did it!!!

Oh. I was expecting that to be a wrong guess. I'm on a roll of wrong guesses lately.

Gandalf and Bilbo know it and it potentially costs something (at least until it becomes toll-less). It is probably in the Shire if Bilbo knows it and would predate the war of the ring (eliminating the redecorating done by Saruman) A complete and total guess... The Free Fair held during Lithe on the White Downs. Hobbits were "free" to set up "booths" to buy and sell things during the fair.
