Nope, the "ruler" part is still important.

King in particular.

If King is important and we are talking about burning...I'm thinking it has something to do with the Kings who would burn themselves...as Denethor did...'We shall burn as the heathen Kings of old.' These Kings were referenced to be those who were swayed by the powers of Sauron, but I don't know if we ever are told the names of these kings.

Therefor the only ruler I know that did 'burn' was Denethor...do we have a member DenethorII? Am I even on the right track?

Sorry for the double post, but I just thought of something...would it happen to be Gil-galad?

He was the high-king of the Noldor plus in his combat with Sauron, the heat from Sauron's body burned him...and if I'm not mistaken blew him to smithereens...could it be are own gil-galad?

Congratulations, Macalaure!

You get to continue the thread.

Finwe was indeed the answer! Though those all were some excellent guesses. Some of them almost convinced me that's what I really meant...

Wow! My first guess on this thread and already a right one!

Thanks Durelin.

Soon after the worst came to the downs, a goddess emerged.

Well, my first thought was "soon after Nogrod came to the 'downs, JennyHallu emerged", since she really joined just after him...

Anyway, I have a feeling I know what you're talking about, but I can't just come up with the name... back to research, that is.

Folwren, mainly because I'm a jerk I might take that clue and guess

Valier

She joined only a couple days after Fairychick and she is from Canada just like Mac so I can see the tie in that way too.

You have it!

Valier is the first major Downer to introduce herself on the Welcome-thread after Fairychick, who is the (unbanned) member with the worst reputation.

And 'Goddess' is more or less the translation of 'Valier'.

PS: You're making me curious, morm. What makes you think I'm Canadian (for I am none)?

My assumption was my conclusion.

Next clue:

I'm your worst nightmare, well not really.

Oh and thanks and sorry to Folwren.

Would that be Hookbill the Goomba? I recently had a nightmare about fraud Hookbill...but Hookbill in general really isn't a nightmare. He's a funny and creative guy.

I believe the Boggart is from Harry Potter. They appear as your worst nightmare, but then you can manipulate them so they are not.

Two guesses that's it?! Well, I'm glad somebody finally decided to ask for a clue at least.

Ok, this person doesn't have to do with an actual kaleidoscope. However, everything I said is about this person's character which is a HUGE hint in itself.

I do hope that more people will at least try this one

I believe she is referring to a RPG character that somebody has but not knowing many of those I do not have any idea as to who it might be.
