Willow: #6 It has to be Dora Baggins. Please.

Elf Girl: You are talking about Middle Earth Lorien, not Valinor Lorien?

Elf Girl · 07-17-2002, 01:11 PM

Yes, ME Lorien.

Radagast The Brown · 07-17-2002, 04:40 PM

Carafin is your 2 one is the sea?

Willow Oran · 07-18-2002, 01:46 AM

Yup, #6 is indeed Dora Baggins.

I was hoping you people wouldn't think of the hobbit.

Our first performance of the Hobbit opens on Friday, Mirazhi, of course I'm gonna be thinking of it. By the way, if you don't come, I will hurt you.

Mirahzi · 07-18-2002, 02:09 AM

Elf Girl, has the answer got anything to do with the gifts that Galadriel gave the Fellowship?

Willow, is it this Friday? And I'd wager you're gonna hurt me even if I do come

Yay! Hobbit! I am coming to see it. I've heard a lot about it from Tano.

er, getting horribly off topic here...better say something riddle-ish, and quick!

No. They did not originate at the same time the Fellowship was there, and they are not physical objects.

Menelvagor · 07-18-2002, 09:51 PM

Willow, is your first one Gil-Galad's spear (the name of which I've forgotten

), the one he had at the last alliance?

(p.s.- I have returned to the riddling thread!)

Tanoliel · 07-19-2002, 02:22 PM

Yay! Kashka's back! (btw, at the time of posting, your post count is 666. I find that rather amusing.

)
Elf Girl, would I find the answer more in the Sil?

Menelvagor · 07-19-2002, 05:51 PM

The squinty-eyed cat really is evil!

Willow Oran · 07-19-2002, 09:46 PM

Yes, #1 is Aiglos, finally somebody got it, I even put the date of it's destruction in there.

Mirahzi · 07-19-2002, 10:35 PM

You're a tricksy one, you know that?

New Riddle:

Shining knights
In silent mail
They have no spears
Just tooth and tail

Dungons red
And caverns deep
Fire dwells
Without sleep

Shining jewels
In a velvet case
Unexplored
Is this place

Hint: Each verse is a mini-riddle, which must be solved in order to get the answer. All three are connected by the answer, in some way or another.

Menelvagor · 07-19-2002, 10:43 PM

Hmmm... Mirahzi:
No clue on the first bit.
The second part is Barad-dur? or Angband? Probably Angband, because of the last part...
The last makes me think of the Nauglimir and Menegroth, but that's just a guess

Mirahzi · 07-19-2002, 10:47 PM

Nope, not Barad-dur, nor Angband. And not Menegroth and Nauglimir either.

Menelvagor · 07-19-2002, 11:34 PM

Dang, I got all of it wrong.

Should I be thinking LotR or the Sil?
For the second part- Dol Guldur? Moria (although that doesn't make sense with the dungeons)?

Nariel Starfire · 07-19-2002, 11:37 PM

NOt gollum... Hint: They (plural) show up ONLY in FOTR

cassiopeia · 07-20-2002, 12:06 AM

Willow: #2 Is it the battle of Erui ?(finally found that in the appendices)

Mirahzi: Second part - is it something to do with Moria and/or the Balrog?

Mirahzi · 07-20-2002, 12:25 AM

The second part is not Dol Guldur nor Moria..
Hint: The answers to the three mini-riddles are general (not directly Tolkien), but the final answer is.

Menelvagor · 07-20-2002, 12:38 AM

Gah, I'm giving up for the night...

Radagast The Brown · 07-20-2002, 05:05 AM

Mirazhi, is the answer of all the three is... Orthank? Mordor?
