Not quite right. A student of the Dunedain such as yourself should have gotten this one long ago. I will await the light bulb in your head to to start flashing. Be sure to duck when you try to smack yourself in the forehead when the solution occurs to you. Then go find SGH and thank her for her suggestions.

OK then - my OTHER choice

... the emblem of the White Tree, the Seven Stars and the Crown on Aragorn's standard as made by Arwen... ??

Very nice riddle, LCoU. The answer would be Numenor, if I'm not mistaken.

nuts, you guys really don't know the answer. Perhaps this riddle was too hard. Oh well, it came from the chapter Minas Tirith, in the Return of the King. If you want to find the solution, search there.

Just in case you missed my riddle:

Colder than the coldest.
Hotter than the hottest.
Wiser than the wisest.
More foolish than the bigest fool.

What is it?

New Riddle:

A living man who has no name.
Guarding death’s door is his claim to fame.
Where in the war he too was slain.

Old Riddle:

Pure and white.
Without stain or blight.
Soaring with pride
at a great height.

keith, your new one is the guard slain be beregond at the tombs

spinning webs of unlight
to shield from view the dark might
taking jewels and all i see
to eat, and consume, all for me

Beren3000 · 03-18-2005, 02:57 PM

Right again LCoU! He was called the "Porter".

Last Child of Ungoliant · 03-18-2005, 06:30 PM

black is my raiment
black is my nature
the terror of the east

New Riddle:

Eldest is she, of all in her house.
And she ought to be known as
“the Mouth of the South”.

no, that would be too obscure even for me

. SGH was on to it with the standard idea, but no one has been able to solve it completely as yet.

How about the "White Horse Upon Green"? The standard of Rohan.
