Here is another shot in the dark: 1) Calenardhon I dont get the '2 tens (20???)' reference, but lacking a head and a tail could be something about being sparsely populated before Cirion gave it to Eorl whereafter there came both men and horses (tails)... gosh it sounds lame...

Telchar - Normally, In Cryptic-ese, "lacking a head and tail" means you take off the first and last letters of the word referred to.

NightKnight · 10-26-2003, 04:20 AM

A wild guess would be Anórien at 1), as we need a vowel there. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-26-2003, 06:34 AM

4) Ulmo ?

Quote:

for the arising of the King of the Sea was terrible, as a mounting wave that strides to the land, with dark helm foam-crested and raiment of mail shimmering from silver down into shadows of green.

Voralphion · 10-26-2003, 08:34 PM

4) Nevrast? where Ulmo appeared to Tuor, and where Tuor got his helmet (headgear)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-26-2003, 11:54 PM

Sorry for the disappearance. Anywhen...

NightKnight is right!

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

Quote:

Uh...no! It doesn't begin in a vowel, and Anórien is not mathematical in any sense. Choose another Gondorian fief.

4) Nevrast?

No, sorry.

By the way, I repeat the clue for the password: Reverse Saucy.

NightKnight · 10-27-2003, 04:25 AM

Not a vowel, eh? Then the only letter that could work would be S, and the only place I can find is South Ithilien.

By the way, what does Epesse mean?

Turambar · 10-27-2003, 07:35 AM

Belfalas? Lamedon? Dol Amroth? Lebennin? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Epessë means "later name".

[ October 27, 2003: Message edited by: Turambar ]

NightKnight · 10-27-2003, 10:43 AM

Ocean of headgear could be Helm's Deep. As for later name, Aglarond?

Also, are both H and I in 3) parts of the password?

Turambar · 10-27-2003, 01:56 PM

Night Knight - another good solution!

Not sure on "Heren Istarion", but for the meaning of "Reverse Saucy", see p. 3 of this thread. (The answer to Sauceman's puzzle was the first letter of clue #1, the second letter of clue #2, etc.)

NightKnight · 10-28-2003, 02:49 AM

Then it's probably 1st letter in the 5th clue, 2nd in the 4th, etc. *Sigh*

My next guess is Lamedon for 1), since it has "me" in it.

You're correct!

I believe the password is Narog.

Gladly.

Two tens, the first with me(or I, which represents the number one)= 10+1 =11(eleven)
The second ten without me = 10-1 =9(nine)
Elevennine lacking a head and a tail=Levennin, or Lebennin

Tadah! (OK, that wasn't good, wasn't it?) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

1) Other confused moon between defeat and a half goblin with flowers.
2) No wooden bow edge.
3) High starts with back, before the right one river.
4) River stopped by white speaks at last note.
5) Muddled steel youngling.
6) Pointy Greek ship before cut king's chair followed by a note.

It's my first, and I hope it's a good one. A clue for the entire password would be gold.
