Er, just wondering: is "Sauronman" supposed to be Sauron or Saruman? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-25-2003, 09:13 PM

LOL! Well, since I'm neither Sauron nor Saruman, I suppose it doesn't matter.

lathspell · 05-27-2003, 02:38 PM

Is it Melkor?

He chose his own destruction already during the Music of the Ainur.
His name means 'He Who Arises In Might', so that would serve him better.

Arestevana · 05-27-2003, 05:56 PM

I'm going to say Gelmir of Angrod.
He went to Nargothrond with Arminas to warn Orodreth of "a great mustering of orcs and evil creatures". Turin spoke against him and Nargothrond was taken. The other Gelmir lived IN Nargothrond and was killed to provoke the defenders of Eithel Sirion. The stunt was very effective. Much more so than the warnings of the first Gelmir. thus...

Alas, my namesake would have served me better

though that's not really a namesake. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I tried.

Finwe · 05-27-2003, 05:59 PM

Turin Turambar chose his own destruction by not going after Finduilas, and Turin I of Gondor's reign was very peaceful, which would have served Turambar much better.

Arestevana · 05-27-2003, 06:06 PM

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Ah, Finwe, you beat me to it. I just pulled out my copy of the Silm and was going to edit that in. Though mine was more along the lines of Turin under the name Mormegil, falling on his sword.....I imagine that you are correct, which is for the best as I could never have thought up another Who Am I? to post. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-27-2003, 06:58 PM

Nobody's gotten it right yet. Tell me when a clue is necessary.

Sophia

Finwe · 05-27-2003, 07:01 PM

I think we need a clue right now! At least tell us in what age he/she lived. That would probably help a great deal.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-28-2003, 07:15 PM

No, I have a rather different clue in mind. The namesake referred to is an object.

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-28-2003, 07:26 PM

Is this person in LotR? Could it be Lotho? Unsure of how that would work, but hey, I'm trying [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Finwe · 05-28-2003, 07:35 PM

All right, so this person chose his/her own destruction (not death) and his/her namesake was an object that could have helped them.

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-28-2003, 07:53 PM

Arwen? For the Evenstar?

Hopefully,
~Menelien

Ultimatejoe · 05-28-2003, 10:09 PM

Helped who? Is it Beleg Strongbow?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-28-2003, 11:21 PM

It is indeed Ultimate Joe.

I chose my own destruction- Melian offered Beleg his choice of weapons when he left to seek for Turin. Beleg chose Anglachel, which eventually was the sword that slew him.

My namesake would have served me better.- His surname is Cuthalion, the Strong Bow... perhaps a better choice of weapon.

Sophia

lathspell · 06-02-2003, 12:59 PM

It´s been 10 days...here´s a new riddle:

Loved by The Master
killed by The Father
buried in The Hill
daughter of The Second
who am I?

Finwe · 06-11-2003, 10:48 AM

Finduilas?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 06-11-2003, 10:49 AM

Haleth?

Manardariel · 06-11-2003, 10:53 AM

*bows* All yours, Finwe! Good one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Arestevana · 06-11-2003, 02:06 PM

I'm confused! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Would one of you explain your reasoning?

Manardariel · 06-12-2003, 09:29 AM

Sure!

Loved by The Master- Master of Doom, that´s Turin
killed by The Father- of Dragons, that´s Glaurung, he destroyed Nargothrond and killed Finduilas
buried in The Hill- Haudh-en-Arwen, a hill, that´s her grave
daughter of The Second- her fathr is Orodeth, second in the line of Finarfin

I liked it! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Arestevana · 06-14-2003, 06:07 AM

Ah-hah. I was thinking only that she had been killed by the orcs who captured her. I'll try to remember to look at other connections next time. Btw, wasn't she buried in the haudh-en Elleth? The Haudh-en-Arwen was the burial place of Haleth, I believe. It was an excellent riddle, though.

Ok, it´s been 10 days- new riddle.

Survived a strife
I am a wife
a star is in my hand
Who am I?

Arwen Imladris · 06-21-2003, 11:11 AM

Survived a strife: The kin-strife?

Elestirnë? That sounds the best, it means 'star-brow'.

Gil-Galad · 06-21-2003, 01:05 PM

Maybe Galadriel? she had the phial of it and is married to celeborn and survived the strife of the Noldor

Manardariel · 06-21-2003, 03:48 PM

Gil- Galad, you are CORRECT! Though I neant Nenya, not the phial..... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 06-22-2003, 11:11 AM

well thanks

Of North i came, friend of south i am, enemy of stunted i also became for i slew the terror and claimed an unrightful treasure

who am i?

i have a feelign its too easy...

Manardariel · 06-22-2003, 11:20 AM

Beren? If you say Lúthien is the treasure....

Arestevana · 06-22-2003, 03:16 PM

My guess is from The Hobbit:
Perhaps Bard? Stunted meaning Dwarves, of course, as they felt the dragon's treasure to be entirely theirs, thus making any other claim false. Then of course there was the Arkenstone, which was, in a sense, stolen.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-22-2003, 07:29 PM

I would say Fram, who slew the dragon Scatha, inherited his treasure which was largely Dwarvish in origin, and was promptly killed by the Dwarves for his trouble.

Gil-Galad · 06-23-2003, 11:37 AM

The Saucepan man is correct as usual please do continue...

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-23-2003, 05:50 PM

Thank you, Gil-Galad. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I ruled for a time
