Yes! Carafin got it! It was indeed the three messages. (Gimli's being the merry and light one.)

New riddle:

Shadows feed on only light,
After darkness naught can be but bright.
A calling on the lady might,
Brings joy and happiness in sight.

Mirahzi · 07-29-2002, 04:40 PM

Elf Girl: Does it have something to do with Ungoliant? Or the Phial of Galadriel? Or Elbereth?

Menelvagor: Is it the elves? Or one of the elven swords (Glamdring, etc)?

cassiopeia · 07-29-2002, 09:36 PM

Mirahzi: Third part - is it a pearl?
Elf girl: Somthing to do with Luthien?

Mirahzi · 07-29-2002, 09:41 PM

Nope.. not a pearl. Hint: By 'unexplored' I mean that the subject has not been.. well, explored.

Remember, each of the subjects lead up to a final answer..

Menelvagor, is this a person?

Yes, sort of, but it's also more of a legend... (major hint, oh well )

Quote:

Menelvagor: Is it the elves? Or one of the elven swords (Glamdring, etc)?

no & no, sorry.

Elf Girl: I agree, something to do with Shelob and the Phial of Galadriel?

Mirahzi · 07-30-2002, 12:53 PM

Menelvagor: Is it Luthien and Beren? The Silmarils? The Two Trees?

Nariel Starfire · 07-30-2002, 02:03 PM

NO right answers yet HUUUGE HINT:
It's the first time that Legolas's bow is said to sing in the books

Radagast The Brown · 07-30-2002, 03:09 PM

Menelvagor, is it Elendil? his sword? or maybe Isildor? Anarion? Gil Galad?
Elf girl, is it Ungoliant and the silmarls?

Tanoliel · 07-30-2002, 03:28 PM

Nariel, is it wargs?

Menelvagor · 07-30-2002, 07:12 PM

No right answers to mine, remember, the days that are long gone are at the time of the War of the Ring.

Mirahzi · 07-30-2002, 07:17 PM

Right then.. Menelvagor, is it the mallorn trees? Hobbits?

CarpeDiem · 07-30-2002, 07:37 PM

Out from the West
Predecessor blest
A fair pale glow
No kin to show
The heirloom of ancestry
Now shines inconsistently

I'm replying to this - sorry if I'm doing something or other wrong here, but I'm new to this whole entmoot deal, etc. I'm guessing that the answer is Gandalf. Am I right?

*May the road rise up to meet you and all that.*

Menelvagor · 07-30-2002, 09:40 PM

Welcome to the moot, Carpe! Who posted that riddle? If I'm not mistaken, it think it's already been solved, make sure your reading the last pages of the thread for the most recent riddles.

Sorry, Mirahzi, the legend is one person.

Mirahzi · 07-30-2002, 09:57 PM

Argh.. ok.. legend. Person. Legendary person.. Personal legend?

Is it Frodo? Sam? Merry? Pippin? Bilbo?

Menelvagor · 07-31-2002, 04:12 AM

Well you've got the right race!

Gah, you kinda said the answer... just morph it over an age.

Mirahzi · 07-31-2002, 04:20 AM

Argh.. drawing blanks..

Is it one of Sam's numerous offspring? Little Frodo? Elanor?

How does one morph something over an age anyways

Menelvagor · 07-31-2002, 04:49 AM

No, not any of them, you said the person in your earlier post, it's just not the right answer. Hint: the person has been dead a long time before the answer appeared. Gah, that was confusing even to me...

Elf Girl · 07-31-2002, 07:56 AM

The old Took? Bulllroarer?

No correct guesses on mine. Hints: First to lines are very obscure and not to the point. Also, joy and happiness were only "brought in sight", not reached, and soon they were no longer in sight.

Menelvagor · 07-31-2002, 12:27 PM

The mirror of Galadriel?

wrong for mine. I've changed my mind: the answer isn't really a person, it's a legend. (the person the legend was create around has been guessed though)

Mirahzi · 07-31-2002, 02:55 PM

Menelvagor: Is it the legend of Luthien and Beren (called the Lay of Luthien perhaps)
