“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

Topic: Riddles in the Dark II

Post Info
Eowyn Rohan peasant - Rank 2 Status: Offline Posts: 68 Date: Sep 7, 2006	RE: Riddles in the Dark II Permalink Closed I think I've got it: Aranruth, sword fo the Kings of Numenor, 'brother' of the scepter of the kings, it was lost when Ar-Pharazon sailed towards Valinor. The scepter was brought to Middle Earth by Elendil, in the 4th age Elrond gave it to Aragorn as he is a descendent of the kings of Numenor. Am I right? __________________ 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 7, 2006	Permalink Closed The answer you are giving is wrong, it is not Aranruth. However, you do actually mention the correct answer in your explanation. -- Edited by Celethil at 12:34, 2006-09-07 __________________ 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 8, 2006	Permalink Closed well, I know it isn't very fair of me as Eowyn already answered it almost perfectly, but... anyway, it is the sceptre of Numenor, the one Ar-Pharazon had after Elendil came to ME he took the Sceptre of Annuminas as the symbol for royalty and...eventually after the Downfall of Arnor it was passed down through the generations of the Kings of Arthedain and their descendants, the Chieftains of the Dúnedain, so reaching Aragorn __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Celethil Royal Guard of Menegroth - Rank 5 Status: Offline Posts: 617 Date: Sep 8, 2006	Permalink Closed That is CORRECT!!!!! The Elf of the Spray is Elros, there were three Queens of Numenor, the Sceptre of Kings is buried under hills in Valinor, and Annuminas is Sindarin for West-Tower. Thank you all for playing. __________________ 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 10, 2006	Permalink Closed wow, that was a great riddle...I'll need some time to make a good one __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Sep 12, 2006	Permalink Closed ah...I have to think... I saw as they both fell I saw as they came and went I wrote a song about that day To commemorate and to lament __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Sep 15, 2006	Permalink Closed no "both fell" that should be a small tip __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Olorin/Gandalf Chief Maiar Status: Offline Posts: 369 Date: Sep 17, 2006	Permalink Closed Could it possibly be reffering to Glorfindel vs. Balrog? __________________ ...But it was so that from Nienna he learned pity and patience.

Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Sep 17, 2006	Permalink Closed Although I don't think it fits in with the rest of the riddle, could that be the Two Trees? __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Sep 17, 2006	Permalink Closed yes, it was about the Two Trees, but who wrote it? that is the answer to the riddle __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
