No, not Beren. For #2, one of the "thefts" is related in LotR, the other in the Silmarillion.

Salix · 10-09-2003, 01:59 PM

2) Morgoth?

Turambar · 10-09-2003, 05:47 PM

Nope. Hint for #2: Akallabeth.

Voralphion · 10-09-2003, 07:36 PM

2)Isildur.

1)Pippin

1) Lindir

Turambar · 10-10-2003, 07:04 AM

Lindir and isildur are correct!

Re-posting this page:

(1) Lindir (Reluctant literary critic, refused to count sheep)
(2) Isildur (Purloiner of tree-fruit and jewelry)
(3) Nobottle (Dry town of the Shire)
(4) Arwen (Queenly new raiment of the night)
(5) Eonwë (One we would follow as general, teacher or messenger)
(6) Yielded to a friend, I hear.
(7) Epessë (Call me (this) later)
(8) Nameless Land (But . . . what do you call Mordor?)

I'm not sure if I know what you mean by 'embedded clue', but-
5) Elwe

Turambar · 10-10-2003, 08:24 AM

A "embedded clue" = a scramble or "word within words", within the clue.

Elwë is not correct for #5. Hint: Ainu.

miellien · 10-10-2003, 10:23 PM

#4- Evenstar? The "queen" and "raiment of night" (star) seems to fit to me.
#6- Legolas? Yielded the contest of the orc-count to Gimili.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-10-2003, 10:48 PM

#4 is Arwen, reversed...

Quote:

New raiment

Is #4 Orome?

Turambar · 10-11-2003, 06:32 AM

Arwen is right, good job finding the embedded clue.

The embedded clue for #5 is an anagram (scramble). I think you were guessing Orome for #5 - not correct, but the answer is an Ainu.

Hint for #7 - this is a tough one. It's an Elvish word.

[ October 11, 2003: Message edited by: Turambar ]

Finwe · 10-11-2003, 08:32 AM

5) Eonwë (general, teacher, messenger of the Valar during the First Age)

7) mellon (you would call someone you met "mellon" later, once you had gotten to know them as a friend)

Turambar · 10-11-2003, 08:10 PM

Eonwë is right for #5 (anagram of "one we").

Mellon is not right for #7, although it is closely related to the answer to another clue.

HINT for #7: Galadriel.

[ October 11, 2003: Message edited by: Turambar ]

Finwe · 10-11-2003, 08:20 PM

6) Maedhros? (He yielded the High Kingship to Fingolfin, a "friend.")

7) Galadriel (she was initially called Alatariel and Nerwen by her parents, but she was later called Galadriel by Celeborn)

8) Land of Darkness?

Turambar · 10-11-2003, 10:06 PM

Very close for #7 - there is an elvish word for such later given names.

For #8 - another way of referring to Mordor is what I'm after.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-12-2003, 07:11 PM

Is #7 epessë?
Is #8 Nameless Land?
Is the Password Linaewen?

Good job, Nilpaurion.

Linaewen was the marshland in Nevrast where many sea-birds lived.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-13-2003, 08:32 PM

Thank you, Master of Doom *bows*

By the way, here's my bit...

1. A land in Gondor, two tens with and without me, lacking a head and a tail.
2. He created thepresent moment ahead of cruelty.
3. They were many, but only three did something.
4. Epessë of the ocean of headgear.
5. Hidden elf ends in fish's top valley.

By the way, what's #6? I'm stumped there...

Turambar · 10-14-2003, 06:17 AM

#6 was West Gate (of Moria), which opened to the word mellon = "friend".

E: isn't it Will Truman?

By the way, Istari?...Not quite. The whole group. Two words.

Finwe · 10-15-2003, 07:10 PM

#3: The Wizards or The Maiar?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-15-2003, 08:17 PM

No...both are Elvish. Quenya, in fact.

Turambar · 10-16-2003, 12:53 PM

Heren Istarion ?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-16-2003, 07:03 PM

No, but you're on the right track. "Hidden Elf" means he's of Gondolin...the rest are cryptic

Arestevana · 10-20-2003, 06:34 PM

Nilpaurion-
Is it to early for me to guess?
Assuming Aule is the answer to number two, is the password be Turin or Mahal?

Turambar · 10-20-2003, 07:05 PM

What does he mean by two tens in #1? Can't be XX? Twenty? Score?

Or for that matter, "with or without me"? A U2 reference? :P
