"You" is Pippin, who reveals the location of the Fellowship by throwing the stone into the well. "I" is Grima, who reveals Saruman's connection with Sauron by throwing out the palantir. Pippin picks up the palantir but doesn't get the appreciation he thinks he deserves (the entitled teenager ) So the final question: who is the bigger fool? (Kidding. You've answered all the actual parts of the riddle. I think both characters were quite foolish in their own ways, but Pippin was the luckier fool of the two as his blunders often turned to something good half by accident.)

Then solve this one
Twins are we
Imbued with his hate Our lives are very different Yet we shared the same fate One remained in the fires Where the turncoat was slain The other inside the earth Till the time comes for it to rise again

Explanation:
Twins are we Imbued with his hate -both made by Eöl out of meteoric iron and said to contain his "dark heart". Our lives are very different Yet we shared the same fate -perhaps in the sense of being ultimately abandoned? Or having all their wielders die? One remained in the fires Where the turncoat was slain -Anguirel, left in the ruins of Gondolin. The other inside the earth Till the time comes for it to rise again -Anglachel aka Gurthang, buried with Túrin.

I won't have time to come up with another one for a day or so. If you have one ready, you can go instead.

Anyway, this one is to draw your attention to yet another parallel I found interesting.
You, who suffered loss I, descended from your brother What were our thoughts When everything we loved was torn asunder? You, who cried out in despair Thus aiding the Enemy as he had planned He had once declared That you and your kin shall be damned Me, who had to watch As my home fell to ruin Yet he wasn't someone I could dispatch In silence, I had to endure You and I, we knew suffering, we knew pain Alone and in silence, when we lost it all Here at the end, everything we did was in vain The Sea had taken us, with its waves tall

'Descended from your brother' means we're looking at the Huor-Tuor line, which means the Halfelven and the Numenorean-Dunedain nobility. I'm... trying very hard to find someone other than Tar-Miriel who fits, but I can't. She's simply got too many connections - with Pharazon as 'someone I could[n't] dispatch', and the Fall of Numenor as a whole. So my answer is Tar-Miriel speaking to Hurin Thalion. And the 'reasons' are because we literally just had that conversation (and possibly you were trying to trick me and make me think you meant Nienor, not Hurin). hS |

The treasure is the inside of the egg, of course. The elderly are Gollum and Bilbo themselves. The lesson is learning the answers as they come.

The 'what have I got in my pocket' riddle? The answer is found after a long time by Gollum, but the treasure (The One Ring) remains hidden from him.

Well, in that case.....
Long will you think - But just as Bilbo was beginning to hope that the wretch would not be able to answer ere the elderly's lesson Comes to your mind to continue the session - Gollum brought up memories of ages and ages and ages before, when he lived with his grandmother in a hole in a bank by a river Puzzle me out, do as you are bid You may find the answer, but treasure stays hid. - "Sss, sss, my preciouss," he said. "Sun on the daisies it means, it does."

Is it specifically the part of the Riddle Game where Gollum has to find the answer to the egg riddle?
Long will you think ere the elderly's lesson Comes to your mind to continue the session -Gollum was stymied by the seemingly easy riddle, until he recalled a long-ago memory of (literally) teaching his grandmother to suck eggs. Puzzle me out, do as you are bid You may find the answer, but treasure stays hid. -He answered that riddle correctly, but could not find the treasure *he* cared about- the Ring. Edit: x'd with the last few posts- may have been answered already.

I will continue this, for now.
Large were we Born in the land of seafarers We were taken away Only to be killed by mighty flames If Nerwen decides to make his/her own riddle, it will replace mine, but for now, enjoy.

Nope, it's just that I am not sure what your pronoun is and I want to be on the safe side.

None ready at the moment. Are we doing a free-for-all until Nerwen reclaims her turn?

Lo! I have returned!
Forth I went to meet despair-
They said they'd wait 'til back I came. Yet here's another in my place- We're not the same, But no-one cares.

So it's someone who said they'd wait until someone else returns, but did not?
