Riddle ME this - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

elven maiden Earwen · 03-23-2003, 11:27 AM

nope

Manardariel · 03-23-2003, 11:40 AM

Bilbo or Frodo, perhaps? Maybe Gandalf?

elven maiden Earwen · 03-23-2003, 11:50 AM

no

Lyra Greenleaf · 03-23-2003, 02:15 PM

Gandalf?
Saruman?
Legolas?
Elrond?
Galdor?

elven maiden Earwen · 03-23-2003, 02:28 PM

Lyra you aare correct it was Legolas.

Lyra Greenleaf · 03-25-2003, 01:46 PM

OK, its easy- but I don't have time for subtlety! (Revising Vietnam- aargh!)

I am beauty lost, but health recovered
My legend will never be uncovered.
Death I caused, though not by choice
I sing with an enchanting voice.
Two I have been, though one remains-
Tell me please, what is my name?

And btw I know remains and name don't rhyme, OK?

merry03 · 03-25-2003, 04:05 PM

Gollum? If you think about it, it sorta fits. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

aragornreborn · 03-25-2003, 07:36 PM

Ok, ok, now I know not all of these fit so great, but my head hurts right now.

Could it be Glorfindel, Luthien, or perhaps Galadriel.

I know some of those are a stretch.

Lyra Greenleaf · 03-26-2003, 01:57 PM

None of them so far!

Annunfuiniel · 03-26-2003, 02:38 PM

Nimrodel, both the elf-maid and the river.
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

03-26-2003, 06:15 PM

Golum?

03-26-2003, 06:18 PM

Could it be Perrigan Took?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 03-27-2003, 02:37 AM

Ooh, I think Annunfuiniel has it... or if not, it's a super good guess... blast, I've been trying to think of the answer for days now... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lyra Greenleaf · 03-27-2003, 05:41 AM

Yes, its Nimrodel.

I am beauty lost, the lost maiden but health recovered the river
My legend will never be uncovered.we don't know what happened
Death I caused, though not by choice she caused amroth to die
I sing with an enchanting voice. the river, or both!
Two I have been, though one remains- it was an elf and a river, now only a river
Tell me please, what is my name?

Annunfuinel, your go!

Annunfuiniel · 04-02-2003, 12:42 AM

Thank you, Lyra! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
And thanks elven maiden Earwen for the reminder. I'm sorry but I have no riddle at the moment to offer you and I won't be around for a while so anyone can carry on.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-06-2003, 08:27 PM

ok i'll go and this might be easy

i am of gold
my brother of silver
put us together
and there is light so splender

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-06-2003, 10:24 PM

Laurelin (brother is Telperion)

elven maiden Earwen · 04-06-2003, 10:31 PM

correct you are

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-07-2003, 01:18 PM

Alright... really cheesy rhyme, but have fun [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

a daughter of princes
who never were kings
in a land by the sea
with a crest of white wings
yet my son rules a kingdom
and sits on a throne
in a country not mine
a land far from my home

elven maiden Earwen · 04-07-2003, 07:06 PM

findulas

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-08-2003, 01:42 AM

nope, her sons weren't kings.

Eruanna · 04-08-2003, 07:37 AM

Arwen?
Her father Elrond was never a king, although his brother was. She is far from both Rivendell and Aman, in Gondor which is by the sea. The helmets of Gondorian soldiers have a crest of wings and her son Eldarion was king after Aragorn's death. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-08-2003, 12:10 PM

wow... it fits pretty nicely, but that's not who I was looking for.

The wings refer to her original homeland

Eruanna · 04-08-2003, 12:30 PM

Strewth, I really thought I'd got it!

OK then..... is it Eärwen? The wings thing ( and your clue ) made me think of Alqualondë.
Wasn't she called "Swan Maiden" or something like that? Her son, Finrod Felagund became King of Nargothrond......see where I'm going here?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-08-2003, 01:21 PM

Earwen's father was a king...

Nuranar · 04-08-2003, 03:00 PM

Lothíriel, daughter of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth. She married Éomer and their son Elfwinë became King of the Mark after him.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-08-2003, 05:57 PM

Perfect [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

a place with princes that aren't kings that's by the sea with a crest of white wings-- Dol Amroth...

Nuranar · 04-08-2003, 08:44 PM

Whoever's first can continue...I don't create riddles quickly and frankly don't have time to do so right now. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

But I'll be back when I can! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nuranar · 04-11-2003, 12:23 AM

I am pleased to announce that I have written a riddle. Ahem!

Beautiful and cruel,
Fiery and cold.
Conqueror of the victors,
I stand to the end.

Who am I?

piosenniel · 04-11-2003, 01:58 AM

Barazinbar the Cruel (Caradhras, Redhorn) - of the Mountains of Moria, the farthest west and north.

tulkas · 04-11-2003, 05:32 AM

i beleive piosenniel has it

Nuranar · 04-11-2003, 08:34 AM

Indeed she does.

Welcome to the Downs, tulkas! Please keep posting!

piosenniel · 04-11-2003, 10:11 AM

Tulkas

Welcome! Since you also had the right of it, and I have not time today to craft a riddle - would you do the honors and pose the next problem for us?

tulkas · 04-11-2003, 11:25 PM

well i'm quite new here, so here goes

Enchanted under the stars
Never to cross the sea
I became the father
Of a middle earth beauty

elven maiden Earwen · 04-11-2003, 11:37 PM

thingol

tulkas · 04-11-2003, 11:46 PM

had a feeling that would be a little too easy, but well done. Over to you Earwen

elven maiden Earwen · 04-11-2003, 11:57 PM

mine easy to because its late and all I can think of.

fair and cold
my tale has been told
married a man of the great stone city
were there lived a queen who loved her kittys

who am I?

tulkas · 04-12-2003, 12:28 AM

i'm guessing finduilas

Nuranar · 04-12-2003, 05:41 AM
