That is the correct answer! Thread is paavo's!

paavo · 04-01-2005, 03:07 PM

Don't expect anything grand since I am definately not a poet.

A lot have I seen
Long here I've been
Found my home near the half-grown
a good thing for the life of our own

(now that really sucks. I just wrote a poem before this one so I had no inspiration left. yes yes, excuses...)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-01-2005, 07:56 PM

Gandalf, who found himself "at home" in the Shire, Land of the Halflings?

paavo · 04-02-2005, 04:05 AM

...But no.

Gil-Galad · 04-02-2005, 08:05 AM

me thinks Tom Bombadil... who did live near Buckland

paavo · 04-02-2005, 08:37 AM

You thinks right.

Gil-Galad · 04-02-2005, 04:02 PM

Charged and fell, Weak but faithful, forgotton yet remembered.

Marky Lazer · 04-05-2005, 01:05 PM

From the second line, I'd say Boromir...

Marky Lazer · 04-13-2005, 05:28 AM

Gil-Galad!?

Gil-Galad · 04-13-2005, 07:14 AM

Nope, before Boromir...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-13-2005, 07:22 AM

Eärnil?

Gil-Galad · 04-13-2005, 08:31 AM

nope

i wouldn't mind reasons too...

Marky Lazer · 04-22-2005, 07:25 AM

bump?

Gil-Galad · 04-22-2005, 08:43 AM

Hint: it was during the Last Alliance

Este of Lorien · 04-22-2005, 12:40 PM

Isildur?

Gil-Galad · 04-22-2005, 03:26 PM

nope and please people reasons!!!!!

Amrod the Hunter · 04-24-2005, 10:27 AM

King of the dead (i mean the damned)?

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2005, 08:38 PM

nope...Hint: its an elf!!!

Amrod the Hunter · 04-25-2005, 06:16 AM

Well,only important elves during the Last Alliance were ELrond and Gil-Galad.Someone said Gil-Galad,so I'll say Elrond

Gil-Galad · 04-25-2005, 07:01 AM

again reasons!!! please people...if i don't get a reason i won't accept the anwser...

(its not elrond by the way)

Marky Lazer · 04-27-2005, 03:59 AM

Oropher then, he was slain during the War of the Last Alliance.
He's an Elf.
Remembered through his son Thranduil who survived the battle and returned to Mirkwood.
Faithful, because of his picking the side of good?

Gil-Galad · 04-27-2005, 07:11 AM

Oropher it was!

Charged and fell - charged the Black Gate and was slain
Weak but faithful - Orophers elves had no armour and charged head on, but were true to sticking with the Last Alliance
forgotton yet remembered - remembered indeed by Thranduil, even though no spken much of, hes still there

your turn!

Marky Lazer · 04-27-2005, 02:25 PM

Thanx...

Some think I'm a bird
Some think I'll land gently in the dirt
Some think I'm a stone
But what I can no one really knows

Gil-Galad · 04-27-2005, 06:14 PM

no wait Gandalf!

Marky Lazer · 04-28-2005, 04:06 AM

It is incorrect, and you were the one asking for reasons, weren't you?

Gil-Galad · 04-28-2005, 08:53 AM

Some think I'm a bird - friends with the eagles
Some think I'll land gently in the dirt - the brown, a nature lover
Some think I'm a stone - Saruman calls him stupid, like a stone
But what I can no one really knows - did not really have a purpose, or no one can see his purpose

Radagast the Brown

Marky Lazer · 04-29-2005, 12:58 AM

Good try, but not what I was looking for.

Evisse the Blue · 05-03-2005, 06:18 AM

A hint maybe?

Marky Lazer · 05-03-2005, 12:25 PM

If I do, I give it away probably... but because you asked that friendly...

Hint: an easy little question, but the more we examine it the harder it gets to answer it.

Evisse the Blue · 05-04-2005, 09:49 AM

Hmmm...The Elessar?

Marky Lazer · 05-05-2005, 07:27 AM

No...

bilbo_baggins · 05-05-2005, 07:41 AM

A dragon? A bird, yet not one, not a stone, yet not one?

Marky Lazer · 05-05-2005, 02:40 PM

I'm affraid it's not a dragon.

I'll try to come up with a good hint soon.

Marky Lazer · 05-08-2005, 12:09 PM

A hint then, maybe a bit obscure, but you have to do with it.

I 583

Gurthang · 05-08-2005, 05:40 PM

A Balrog because some think it can fly, some think it can't, and no one really knows for sure.

Marky Lazer · 05-09-2005, 03:42 AM

That is the right answer! Gurthang's thread!

Marky Lazer · 05-15-2005, 01:08 PM

Well, anyone then?

05-15-2005, 04:11 PM

We live in the Mountains, dark and damp,
Once we caught dwarves, they'd set up camp,
That night on the doorstep, we walked up the ramp,
And took the travelers out for a stamp and tramp.

Then a bright light, filled us with dread,
the dangerous flash, that made us like lead,
but we kept the dwarves, to the King we led,
when the Beater came out, and stoke him down dead!

We still live in Mountains, dark and deep,
we keep all travelers from their sleep,
along the shadows, swiftly we creep,
after revenge, the promise we keep.

Gil-Galad · 05-15-2005, 06:04 PM

seems to be most obvious Goblins of Moria...

05-16-2005, 05:11 AM

Right! Gil-galad's thread!
