“And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.” ~ The Silmarillion

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Aug 10, 2006	RE: Riddles in the Dark II Permalink Closed nope, I'd say it's the other white tree, the one that Aragorn found and planted in Minas Tirith, not the dead one __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland

Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Aug 24, 2006	Permalink Closed Okay, I researched a bit: Could it possibly be Vidugavia? __________________ What do you fear, my Lady? ~ A cage.

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Aug 28, 2006	Permalink Closed that is correct Eowyn you're next... I would however like if some other people would participate in this thread besides me and Eowyn... __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Aug 29, 2006	Permalink Closed ^ That goes for me, too!

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Aug 29, 2006	Permalink Closed no actually Gandalf only guided Aragorn of course Gandalf probably knew of the existence of that seed, but still it was Aragorn who found it and planted it as for the answer...what was that big eagle called...Thorondor __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Aug 30, 2006	Permalink Closed Actually no, I'm not speaking of a person or creature. __________________ What do you fear, my Lady? ~ A cage.

mouth of sauron Samwise Gamgee - rank 9 Status: Offline Posts: 2366 Date: Aug 31, 2006	Permalink Closed It looks like more clues are needed. __________________ My Master Sauron the Great bids thee Welcome....
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Aug 31, 2006	Permalink Closed strange I clearly remember having posted Thorondor as an answer 2 days ago, but it seems someone from the moderation team made it go away...or maybe I just have a bad memory anyway, Thorondor the eagle. __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Sep 3, 2006	Permalink Closed Thorondor is wrong... Okay, it really was a bit hard, I tried to change it:   I guard a city deep below; In mountains tall I stand; Elves and Dwarves helped building me In Hollin long ago. Not easily to pass am I, not even by those who know.     -- Edited by Eowyn at 10:39, 2006-09-03 __________________ What do you fear, my Lady? ~ A cage.

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Sep 3, 2006	Permalink Closed really good riddle Eowyn, I really had no idea... not so easy to think about the Gates of Moria, though now that I think about it it does seem obvious __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Sep 5, 2006	Permalink Closed ^ Well, thank you! Though it wasn't easy for me either, I nearly found no words for the rhyme! __________________ What do you fear, my Lady? ~ A cage.

Celethil Royal Guard of Menegroth - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 617 Date: Sep 5, 2006	Permalink Closed Graced by the touch of three ladies hands Beneath hills I lie beyond mortal lands By pride and greed my master was devoured, My brother came to rest in the West-Tower. __________________ Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda
Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Sep 5, 2006	Permalink Closed That's a tough one! I don't really have an idea what could be meant by this riddle. I thought of the palantiri, just because of the last two lines, but the first two don't match with that... __________________ What do you fear, my Lady? ~ A cage.

Celethil Royal Guard of Menegroth - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 617 Date: Sep 5, 2006	Permalink Closed It's not the Palantiri, although you are on the right track. __________________ Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda
Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Sep 5, 2006	Permalink Closed Well, could it be the Silmarilli? I believe at least the first three lines fit quite well, though I'm not sure about the last... __________________ What do you fear, my Lady? ~ A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them, and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.
Celethil Royal Guard of Menegroth - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 617 Date: Sep 5, 2006	Permalink Closed Its not a Silmaril and has very little to do with the Elves. __________________ Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Sep 5, 2006	Permalink Closed ok...so first I though about Anguirel and Anglachel, but it didn't fit because both the fate of Anguirel and Anglachel are unknown so I thought about Orcrist and Glamdring well...Orcrist does lie under hills Thorin was devoured by greed Glamdring did eventually end up in Valinor (maybe the West-Tower) and...the ladies...makes me think about the three trolls, but they didn't grace it... __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Celethil Royal Guard of Menegroth - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 617 Date: Sep 6, 2006	Permalink Closed Hmmmmmm. The West-Tower is not in Valinor, but the hills are. Let me know if you need a hint. __________________ Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Sep 6, 2006	Permalink Closed oh, the white tree __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Celethil Royal Guard of Menegroth - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 617 Date: Sep 6, 2006	Permalink Closed You are DEFINITELY on the right track, but wrong. You caught the reference to the brother in the West-Tower ( note the caps indicate proper name ). The other brother lies under hills beyond mortal lands.... hmmmmmm -- Edited by Celethil at 17:46, 2006-09-06 __________________ Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Sep 6, 2006	Permalink Closed ok, so its Telperion because, the White Tree of Gondor did eventually end up in Minas Tirith and his "brother", Telperion out of which the tree was made, lied in Valinor, after beeing destroyed by Ungoliant __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Celethil Royal Guard of Menegroth - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 617 Date: Sep 6, 2006	Permalink Closed Minas Tirith is the Tower of Guard and the Tree's master/mistress was not destroyed by pride or greed, nor is there an account of Teleperion being buried beneath a hill. Your Valinor - Middle-Earth connection is good though. This should make it easier... Elf of the Spray, my first master's name All his kin to me laid claim Graced by the touch of three ladies hands Beneath hills I lie beyond mortal lands By pride and greed my last master was devoured, My brother came to rest in the West-Tower. -- Edited by Celethil at 18:56, 2006-09-06 __________________ Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda
