Yeah. You do one Beren. You haven't done one in a while.

Beren3000 · 08-27-2004, 04:09 PM

Ok, here's one:

Among my peers the strongest,
Among my brethren the oldest.
For my song I was exiled,
And my deeds my Father riled.
To hope no longer returning,
In my endless ire burning.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-27-2004, 04:18 PM

Faramir

Beren3000 · 08-27-2004, 04:19 PM

No, Faramir was not the oldest of his "brethren".

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-27-2004, 04:20 PM

Faramir?

Beren3000 · 08-27-2004, 04:21 PM

Why did you repeat the guess?

HINT: the riddle is not as straightforward as it sounds.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-27-2004, 04:31 PM

Didn't mean to.

Could it be Feanor

Beren3000 · 08-27-2004, 06:12 PM

Not Feanor, he wasn't "exiled for his song".

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 08-27-2004, 06:17 PM

How about Maedhros?

Beren3000 · 08-27-2004, 06:20 PM

Again, the answer is no. Forget Feanor and his sons.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 08-27-2004, 06:23 PM

OOH, OOH, how about Morgoth?

Beren3000 · 08-27-2004, 06:27 PM

Bingo!

Haradrim · 08-27-2004, 07:20 PM

T.D.- Half my riddle refers to him. But the answer to the riddle is a group of people he is a part of.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-28-2004, 02:55 AM

The Gondorians then.

Haradrim · 08-28-2004, 06:03 AM

They wait for those with real power. And Boromir was one to be

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-28-2004, 10:31 AM

The Stewards waiting for The Return of the King and that is my last guess.

Beren3000 · 08-28-2004, 04:00 PM

Token of friendship, yet of strife,
From Gondor to Rohan lies its path.
Devised to save Gondor's life
And spare Minas Tirith a bloodbath.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-28-2004, 04:08 PM

The Red Arrow

Beren3000 · 08-28-2004, 04:17 PM

Indeed! (And what a nice avatar, I might add

)

Telcontar_Dunedain · 08-28-2004, 04:25 PM

Thanks, Mercutio did it for me.
