Ok,thank you. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Here comes my little riddle

I am were it is cold

The ones I harbour
Are filled with hate

Eruanna · 03-16-2003, 11:46 AM

The Misty Mountains?
Or maybe Caradhras?

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 11:59 AM

Or Thangorodrim?

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 12:49 PM

No and no [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 03-16-2003, 01:31 PM

i was thinking of the barrow downs but they arnt taller than trees right?

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 03:30 PM

No don't think they are taller the threes
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 03-16-2003, 03:41 PM

Orthanc?
Barad-dur? I'm thinking tall [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 03:49 PM

you think tall, but not tall enough [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-16-2003, 03:54 PM

Carn Dûm - high, cold, filled with hate, "Misty".

[ March 16, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 03:56 PM

Nope but you’re getting warmer

Eruanna · 03-16-2003, 04:03 PM

Angband?

Tar-Palantir · 03-16-2003, 04:04 PM

Cloudyhead? The name fits well, and harbors Khazad-dûm.

Maybe the High Pass above Rivendell - where the Dwarves and Bilbo got captured. It is "Misty" all around.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-16-2003, 06:49 PM

Mount Gundabad?

It's in the north, and therefore cold, part of the Misty Mountains, and chief stronghold of the hateful Orcs.

Estanesse · 03-17-2003, 03:19 AM

That's right Saucepan Man [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-18-2003, 08:02 AM

A man is called
Missing the head of Arnor
But with the skill of Dwarves

Seven times seven
A seat for the faithful servant
Who drew level with the Master

What place am I?

Rochelle · 03-18-2003, 08:55 PM

Hmmm this is a tough one, but it makes me think of Minas Tirith.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-22-2003, 09:32 PM

I can see what you mean, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Eruanna · 03-24-2003, 06:05 PM

Are you talking about the Citadel,the Tower of Ecthelion above the Court of the Fountain in Gondor?....through the seventh gate of the seventh circle, carven kingly heads in the stone, seat of the stewards....it seems to fit but I'm probably way off!!

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-24-2003, 08:16 PM

No that's not it. You need to look north-west.

Annunfuiniel · 03-25-2003, 01:50 AM

Is it the Shire? "Missing the head of Arnor", does that refer to that the hobbits still waited for the return of the king or just that they didn't resemble the men of Arnor? Anyway, they preferred living underground like dwarves and they dug the Great Smials. And Sam was chosen major of the Shire seven times for seven years at a time.
So, Shire is my guess. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-25-2003, 07:54 AM

Ooooooooh! So close, Annunfuiniel, especially on the seven times seven. Keep going ... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-25-2003, 09:07 AM

Bag-End, Underhill?? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
I don't even know why I'm answering this 'cause in case I miraculously happened to be right I haven't got the time to think of a new one... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-25-2003, 12:16 PM

No, think about the seven times seven.

And the first three lines make up a cryptic clue.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-25-2003, 01:41 PM

Michel Delving?
It fits otherwise but I'm not sure about the " head of Arnor"-thing...(unless it's el- as in Elendil?) Sorry, I'm not feeling so good at the moment (I ate something that my stomach didn't approve), can't think straight... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 03-25-2003, 02:29 PM

I was thinking of Fornost.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-25-2003, 06:28 PM

Michel Delving it is! Well done, Annunfuiniel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

By way of explanation:

A man is called
A man's name: Michael
Missing the head of Arnor
Take away the first letter of Arnor (A): Michel
But with the skill of Dwarves
The skill of Dwarves is Delving

Seven times seven
A seat for the faithful servant
Who drew level with the Master
The Mayor's seat was at Michel Delving. Sam was mayor seven times for seven years each time. Sam was Frodo's faithful servant, but when he became mayor he drew level in status with the Master of Buckland.

Sort of works. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

So, the stage is yours, Annunfuiniel.

Annunfuiniel · 03-26-2003, 03:30 AM

Yes, it truly works now that you explained it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Oh, I have created a strong love-hate-relationship to your little riddles, Saucepan; at the moment the one in the "Who am I?" -thread is making me crazy!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Well, back to business:

I range from evil to evil
and host it as well
but refugees of goodness
and beauty on my both sides

Through my veins
I'm connected to great waters
sources of life
run from my shoulders
but I'm dead and cold

Some I let pass
some I hide
good or evil
I don't mind.

elven maiden Earwen · 03-26-2003, 09:43 AM

it reminds me ot the dead marshes

Annunfuiniel · 03-26-2003, 09:55 AM

Dead Marshes fit quite "nicely" but sorry, that's not the place I had in mind.

elven maiden Earwen · 03-26-2003, 10:05 AM

or the misty mountains

Annunfuiniel · 03-26-2003, 11:22 AM

Ah, too easy again I see! Or maybe you're just too good at these, elven maiden Earwen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] No further explanations needed I guess, so please proceed.

elven maiden Earwen · 03-28-2003, 06:16 PM

easy but
five stars in this land
western one I am
city and bay close to my name
the last lords son had graet fame
what star am I??

elven maiden Earwen · 03-30-2003, 04:58 PM

piosenniel you are correct

piosenniel · 03-31-2003, 02:40 AM

Where am I?

Wood first,
Stone succeeds,
Gleaming bronze
delays foul deeds.

Wrought iron
Bars the way;
Silver hinders
All it may.

Gold, its glimmer
Blinds the eye,
And meeting Steel
By steel you’ll die.

Portals guard,
Conceal the Way;
Yet Shadow did
Steal in and slay.

Eruanna · 03-31-2003, 03:53 PM

Gondolin?

piosenniel · 04-01-2003, 02:57 AM

Yes! The Seven Gates that guarded the Hidden Way into Gondolin'

Your turn!

Eruanna · 04-01-2003, 02:21 PM

OK, this is my first attempt so be gentle with me.... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Brought from the ruined city;
We know not from whence it came.
Left by the fallen master;
Set in a place of shame.

A silver horn called us
Echoing in the sky.
Compelled by the past
And a wish for peace;
We could not deny.

Faithless we were
Yet faithful came;
Summoned to the place of shame.

Where am I?
