#3 has nothing to do with sauron at all. Hint: Think Hobbits, the first part of the answer is in the riddle.

No to the palantiri. Hint: The days that are long gone are at the time of the War of the Ring.

Gone for a week, and not a single guess! Disgraceful.

Huge Hint: Galadriel created them, Gandalf brought them to... someone. Actually more than one person.

Oh my god, I think Carafin got Elf Girls!! Yay!!

Here are the riddles:

Christiana's:
The last in blossom
With elanor the first
Found not in evermind but in a diner
Overflowing with mirth the last to find it.
LFJTKHJ
DIHFTU
FENKPL
MZDEG

Carafin's:

A breath of cold
grips, and twists
Evil of old
burnt away like mists

Elf Girl's:
Forboding and strange
and then for a change
Merry and light
'most forgotten by might

Mirahzi's:
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

Nariel's:
They come late at night
With eyes shining bright
Beware, for they leap
When you fall asleep
But vanish at sign of first light

Menelvagor's:
Of days long gone
but little remains
sharp sound, bright light
brings many gains.

None others correct.

Nope, not Gollum.

Oh, by the way, when you think of fish, think of sea/ocean/big body of water.

No, just the sea/ocean/big body of water in general.

Sorry if I've confused you.
Nope, it's not a castle, a stronghold, nor a fortress.
