Who Am I? - Page 25 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Fingolfin II · 08-21-2004, 01:32 AM

Thanks Perky. I was actually going to give reasons, but since you've done them for me....oh well.

I am one of the true half-elves. Who am I?

Three answers here.

Morsul the Dark · 08-21-2004, 01:36 AM

this wrong since its too obvious

Elrond?or wait do we need all three?

and actually Dior would make most sense i guess

Dior elrond elros?

Fingolfin II · 08-21-2004, 02:44 AM

Nope, sorry Morsul

.

The Perky Ent · 08-21-2004, 05:49 AM

Earendil?

Fingolfin II · 08-21-2004, 06:36 AM

That's one of the answers. Now I want two more

.

The Perky Ent · 08-21-2004, 07:29 AM

Dior, Earendil, and Eldarion!

NightKnight · 08-21-2004, 12:14 PM

Eärendil, Luthien and Galador.

Fingolfin II · 08-21-2004, 06:43 PM

NightKnight is correct

.

NightKnight · 08-22-2004, 04:18 AM

I am the last living of the first who saw the light. Who am I?

The Perky Ent · 08-22-2004, 08:49 AM

Is it Indis? She's the youngest living Vanyar that survived?

NightKnight · 08-23-2004, 01:44 PM

Your reasoning is way off, but not your answer.

The Perky Ent · 08-23-2004, 05:40 PM

Alright...so I go now? Alright!

The faithful and steadfast

Morsul the Dark · 08-23-2004, 05:41 PM

lets see

I know a few people meeting this qulification let us start with the nost obvious

Sam

The Perky Ent · 08-23-2004, 05:49 PM

Nithagope! (Nope!)

Morsul the Dark · 08-23-2004, 05:52 PM

Was that gibberush? if so ill say
Farhasmirshamalala(Faramir)

The Perky Ent · 08-23-2004, 05:55 PM

Don't you mean Fithagar ithaga mithagear? (Faramir!)

Nope!

Morsul the Dark · 08-23-2004, 05:57 PM

moving along

Gandalf

The Perky Ent · 08-23-2004, 05:58 PM

Nope!

Fingolfin II · 08-24-2004, 12:42 AM

Sam?

NightKnight · 08-24-2004, 05:47 AM

Actually, you weren't right, so my question still stands. I was just saying that you were close.

The Perky Ent · 08-24-2004, 04:23 PM

Hmm...no Indis? Oh well...

Valier · 12-17-2005, 10:58 PM

I will guess shadowfax?

Urwen · 03-13-2010, 06:04 AM

Is it Hurin? Thalion=Steadfast.

The Might · 03-13-2010, 06:42 AM

I guess that five years later we could just as well restart the thread with a new question.
And since you probably got it right anyway, go ahead Urwen.

Urwen · 04-23-2010, 01:10 AM

I dwelled in shadow
of a shadow.

I used to weep
yet now I live with sheep.

I wasn't a hater
now I dwell in water.

Who am I?

Pitchwife · 04-25-2010, 02:27 PM

No idea, but since you're the one who's asking, it's probably Tar-Miriel

Seriously, the only thing that rings a bell is sheep = Erendis (or possibly Ancalime), but I'm not sure how the rest of the riddle fits either. With all of Númenor, including their graves, being submerged, you can I suppose say they now dwell in water; the 'shadow of a shadow' remains puzzling.

Urwen · 04-25-2010, 02:33 PM

You are correct with Erendis. Shadow of the shadow is other name for story
'Aldarion and Erendis'. Your turn!

(And as for 'the water', Erendis died in water.)

Pitchwife · 04-25-2010, 02:42 PM

*insert light bulb smiley*
Ah, I quite forgot about that title. Nice. (Poor Erendis, btw - considering how she loathed the sea, it must be hard for her to be buried at the bottom of the ocean now...

But then again, her true self is with Ilúvatar, I guess.)
Thanks, I'll try to think of something; give me a day or two.

Pitchwife · 04-29-2010, 02:57 PM

OK, here goes:
I am one of two and of seven, the last and the first. Who am I?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-01-2010, 12:49 AM

Durin is boring and probably not correct, right?

Galadriel · 05-01-2010, 03:31 AM

No harp is wrung, no hammer falls,
The darkness dwells in Durins halls...

Urwen · 05-01-2010, 11:04 AM

Or maybe Amras?

Pitchwife · 05-02-2010, 04:00 AM

Durin is anything but boring and not quite unfitting the description either, but unfortunately not correct.
Urwen, you've almost got it.

Urwen · 05-02-2010, 04:10 AM

Amrod?

Pitchwife · 05-02-2010, 04:17 AM

Yep, it's Amrod (aka A/Umbarto). Can you explain why?
Anyway, the thread is yours.

Urwen · 05-02-2010, 04:25 AM

Right.

My father and five uncles died. My sixth uncle is alive but gone. Who am I?

Pitchwife · 05-02-2010, 04:37 AM

Celebrimbor?
Father = Curufin (according to one version of his pedigree), five dead uncles = Maedhros, Celegorm, Caranthir, Amrod and Amros, sixth uncle = Maglor (not reported to have died, but came never again among Elves).

(And the explanation for my last one was: youngest of Feanor's seven sons = born last, one of two twins, first of the seven to die = burnt with the ships in Losgar.)

Urwen · 05-02-2010, 04:40 AM

Carry on.

Pitchwife · 05-02-2010, 04:48 AM

Is that a yes?

Urwen · 05-02-2010, 05:47 AM

It is!
