Oh no, certainly I wouldn't argue against a race of germs being considered a singular entity in the context of your riddle. |

Two species friendship proved to last
Remembered from a distant past. Yet good advice went by unheeded causing strife that was not needed. Then a stolen treasure traded for supplies to those blockaded. (their leader certainly felt jaded) Nonetheless no food was sent and a fight was called when none was meant. Quote:

Here's a little quick one:
I'm at the end of my range, the last horn blowing. |

I reckon The White Riddle is now open to all. Val needs some help with it. It concerns the Dunedain. Good luck!
The White Riddle Pure and white. Without stain or blight. Soaring with pride at a great height. |

Also, I seem to have a riddle from long ago that was never solved.
The Middle-earth Algebra Riddle 2(Grubb) + Burrowes = x What is the relationship? |

Boromir's last winding of his horn? (on the borders of Gondor)

Nope. But that is a fine guess! I can't say for certain that this horn ever blew. I mostly needed the "blowing" part for rhyming purposes. Not to say that there wasn't blowing. There very well probably was. I just can't prove it.
Thanks for trying, please give it another blow, er I mean go. Next! |

I'm not so sure on this one. It sounds like Ulmo with Tuor. The end of his (Ulmo's) range being the sea shore. Ulmo did blow the horn though, didn't he? He certainly “sounded” it. |

Correct on the Algebra Riddle. The Shire firm of Grubb, Grubb & Burrowes was contracted to sell off all of Bilbo's stuff. Great guess on the Last Horn Riddle. You make a nice point. But you are not even close. I'll give y'all some clues to help narrow it down. This is a LOTR based riddle. You don't need any other books. The key words to focus on are last horn. End of my range is helpful as well. Knowing a bit of Elvish would be useful, but not necessary. Next! |

I'm at the end of my range, the last horn blowing.
"range" can refer to arrows...perhaps? I don't know the answer to the riddle, though Haha Valandil, I guessed the same thing at first: Boromir's last blowing

Another thought...could it be Aragorn? "range" made me think of a "Ranger," which he was, and when he took his place as King of Gondor he was "at the end of his range." The "last horn blowing" could then refer to the last battle horn, because when he was crowned king the battle against Sauron was over...

Here's a short one:
Because of me, The shortened are lengthened, because of me, the wounded are strengthened, because of me, the hungry are full and after I've passed, the norm is restored. Good luck riddlers!

This 'horn' one is tough. Sometimes the short ones are, since they give so little to go on. And sometimes can even get ambiguous. I thought the algebra might have been that group/firm - but didn't recall the names.

I will say that it has nothing to do with arrows of any kind. Thank you, for your guess, Elleth. Please keep thinking and try again. |
