Alcarillo · 08-14-2005, 01:59 PM

Nope. It's more literal.

the guy who be short · 08-14-2005, 02:06 PM

Land of the Dead That Live - the island where Beren and Luthien came back?

Alcarillo · 08-14-2005, 02:30 PM

Yep, your turn.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-24-2005, 09:07 PM

Mr. Short?

Marky Lazer · 08-29-2005, 12:28 PM

Well, it's not my turn... sue me...

We come in black and white
White as snow, black as the night
We sailed south, upon the Great Sea
Where we went remains a mystery

the guy who be short · 08-29-2005, 02:42 PM

You know, technically you should wait for 10 days, but I'll let it slide seeing as I forgot about the existance of this thread.

Numenoreans?

Marky Lazer · 09-12-2005, 07:12 AM

I'm afraid that is not what I'm looking for...

Marky Lazer · 09-16-2005, 07:31 AM

Hint: there are ten of them.

Telperaca · 09-16-2005, 08:39 AM

It's the people who go to the Grey Heavens??

Gil-Galad · 09-16-2005, 05:02 PM

Barahir and the outlaws?

Marky Lazer · 09-19-2005, 03:13 AM

Both not correct.

Think about spies...

Marky Lazer · 09-22-2005, 03:55 AM

Another hint: Tarannon Falastur.

Now, it's easy enough, surely?

Koneko · 09-22-2005, 05:02 AM

Queen Beruthiel's cats?

Marky Lazer · 09-22-2005, 06:44 AM

Very good! Thread is Koneko's!

Koneko · 09-22-2005, 01:06 PM

Crud. I didn't expect to be right... uhm... can someone else do a riddle? -_-;;

The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 08:59 PM

hehe happens to the best of us! I've got one...

Thrice have we survived the end
Music engraved in our name.
In the second, we lived proudly
Light led the music
Now we are a relic of the past
Music heard no more.

Sorry it isn't that good. I'm not at my poetic peak

Gil-Galad · 09-22-2005, 09:23 PM

sounds like the Elves of Lindon, or Greenelves

The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 09:36 PM

You are indeed close, Gil-Galad (hehe especially with your name), but that is not the answer. Well...at least, the answer is part of the answer you gave

I thought it would be harder

Gil-Galad · 09-22-2005, 09:50 PM

him... Laquiendi?

The Perky Ent · 09-22-2005, 09:56 PM

....um...no

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-29-2005, 07:43 PM

Moriquendi?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-29-2005, 08:02 PM

Lindar ?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-08-2005, 05:40 PM

Perky ?

Marky Lazer · 10-19-2005, 05:59 AM

Two bumps? Time for a new one. I'm not sure if does one works, but let me give it a try anyway...

To use as bait
For a nice fish
Can’t speak of hate
Yes, nice that is

Morsul the Dark · 10-25-2005, 09:17 AM

is it that simple?...it cant be it never is...

A worm?

10-27-2005, 11:33 AM

Is it from GOllem?

Gil-Galad · 10-27-2005, 07:34 PM

hmmm...Deagol?

Marky Lazer · 10-28-2005, 02:33 AM

Not correct yet. Though Morgul is on the rigt way.

Rimbaud · 10-28-2005, 02:42 AM

Wormtongue?

Marky Lazer · 10-28-2005, 05:52 AM

Spot on!

Rimbaud · 10-28-2005, 06:11 AM

Root and branch protect him
His name sprung from their doughty limb.

Valesse · 11-01-2005, 09:08 PM

Perhaps Quickbeam?

Morsul the Dark · 11-03-2005, 08:31 AM

for some odd reason though i doubt its right it just sounds like tom bombadil

Gil-Galad · 11-03-2005, 07:48 PM

Old Man Willow?

(is it me or did i already post here and it dissapeared...)

Gothmog · 11-04-2005, 05:40 AM

A far-fetched idea...Legolas Greenleaf? As leafs literally are sprung from the limbs. "Root and branch protect him". Hmmm...Well he is one of the woodelves.

Rimbaud · 11-08-2005, 03:11 AM

None of the above, I'm afraid. It's a very literal 'name-related' clue.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-08-2005, 05:02 AM

Thorin Oakenshield ?

Rimbaud · 11-08-2005, 05:29 AM

That is correct, well done, and your turn!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-08-2005, 04:18 PM

arrgh I kind of hoped I was wrong! I am no good at these kind of things, so don't expect anything of my "riddle"

Among faithful I was, yet shunned by all
Placed high over vale yet in the ground

Morsul the Dark · 11-09-2005, 08:26 AM

Gandalf? his fellow isatari shunned him by turning on him or not helping he becAame gandalf the white in moria in the ground?
