RIDDLES IN THE DARK




Welcome members to the first edition of the "Riddles in the Dark" thread. The basic idea of the thread is a riddle-based trivia thread. And because it is very similar to trivia the rules are also the same: Just as in trivia we will have different topics. At the end of the time period, the thread will be closed and a new one opened, with a new topic.

Here's how it works:
1. You take a stab at the current riddle.
2. If your guess is correct, you get to post the next riddle.
3. If your guess is wrong, the riddle stands.
4. If you do not wish to post a riddle after a correct answer, you may yield the floor to whoever wants it.

Rules
*Riddles can be asked on any topic that has to do with the world of JRR Tolkien.
*Wait for the riddle asker to confirm your guess, even if you are sure it's right, before posting the next question.
*All forum rules apply.
*Any of the above rules broken will result in penalty which can be found in the FAQ.
*Have fun!
*Only if a new riddle is not introduced within two days after the previous was answered correctly can someone else post a new riddle.
*And a last rule, please keep the riddles clear and simple. Try to avoid any very old or complicated words as not all members have the same level in English. And also try to make sure that the words in the riddle only apply for one answer, as there are cases were certain things are valid for more then one place or character in Middle-earth.
*It would be nicer if the lines of the riddle would rhyme, but this is not compulsory.
