Saruman, I guess?

Elf Girl · 01-28-2003, 09:23 PM

If that guess was for me, than no. The key line is "will new evil create".

Christiana · 01-28-2003, 11:28 PM

Sauron?Melkor?

Radagast The Brown · 01-29-2003, 04:24 PM

El;f Girl- the battle in Helm's Deep?

Keith K- Angband?

Elvedans · 01-29-2003, 05:19 PM

Is the answer to the riddle that said something about Storage and tunnels and birth being a prison something about the tunnels under Isengard where the Uruk Hai are made?

Elf Girl · 01-29-2003, 05:30 PM

No one has been right on mine, but now that I think about it it's a really bad riddle.

Good guess, but it is incorrect.
Hint: The prison is a Third Age one. Disregard First and Second Age ones.

Elf Girl, is the answer to your riddle the Uruk Hai? Or the man-orcs that Saruman experimented with? Or maybe even the rings that Saruman was making in secret?

KK:Barad-dur?The prisons of Dol Gulder?

those who would fight

Is it Bag End (as in scouring of the Shire) ?

Elvedans · 01-30-2003, 01:56 PM

Oh I know, it's the Old storage tunnels at Michel Delving - renamed The Lockholes because they were used as a prison for rebellious hobbits!

Lotho the hobbit with a face full of pock-holes
sends all his neighbors off to the Lock-holes.

Lock-holes it is! Great job Elvedans with honorable mention to zimrahil.

Zimrahil, welcome to the moot! Feel free to post a riddle in this thread any time you wish. See you around!

Keith K · 01-30-2003, 06:08 PM

Another riddle 'a la Keith K' is on the way....

Tools of war
above the fire.
Found in homes throughout the Shire.
Useless items of little worth
exchanged as gifts back and forth.
If any hobbits want to see 'em
in Michel Delving there's a museum!

Welcome to the Moot zimrahil!

zimrahil · 01-31-2003, 08:32 AM

People , thanks for your welcoming words.

Never realised there were forums like this about where people love Tolkien's works as much (if not more) as I do

Cannot even remember how I stumbled across the Entmoot, but glad that I did.

So much material to read here, its stopping me from reading the Sil again

Radagast The Brown · 02-01-2003, 03:56 PM

K K, that's hard... wild guess: Narsil?

Yes.

New riddle:

Meager to the small ones,
Expected to the tall ones,
but after long and tired wait,
More will come, when the questions abate.
