And I found your orange too
![]() This is the standard of Beorians, Barahir's people. There is your orange.

Barahir would probably have used Beor's device, which per this page does actually contain some orange. But it's not the one I was thinking of.
(Whether the heraldry was in active use in Beleriand, or was created later and projected backwards, is a bit of an open question.) hS |

So Tarn Aeluin is the correct answer.

Wait, the lord of my own could mean the lord of its lord, ie. Barahir's lord, ie. Finrod, whose standard also contains orange. In which case, the jeewl line could refer to the Ring of Barahir.

The line of authority goes from Barahir (green) to Finrod (yellow, with his 'crown' of golden hair), to... who? And, y'know, where is Barahir lord of? hS |

There is a dark green jewel in the middle of said ring.

After Finrod's death, it did go to Orodreth. And Barahir was the lord of Dorthonion.

A line of authority goes up. In this case, to Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor and Finrod's direct superior. His standard has orange flames in it.

I liked yours. Now, for mine own:
Long ago, in lands of old I came to existence, with hair of gold The holder of my heart had golden hair too And our love was pure and true Long ago, we left the shores Of a land we called our home We did in on my behest, disappearing from all the tales But we helped provide hope in the times yet to come

Good riddle! The first verse misdirected me to Valinor for a bit before I remembered the pictures.
"Oh my God!" I hear them cry (or perhaps my ears deceive me): All the gnomes, I think, and sigh, Yell "Codswallop!" when they see me. I am the front that grows on the trees, The box that makes some wheezy. Am I for beasts or am I quite sweet? Not sure - but I'm certainly easy! One answer, and you proooobably want to focus on the second half. hS |

Well, the only thing that grows on trees are fruits...

Noldor are sometimes referred to as 'gnomes'.

Finglas, also known as Leaflock? Locked box could make some people wheezy, especially when they're locked inside of it.

So something that Noldor don't think of as very valuable, that start with lea or leaf?

Well, only fruits, leaves and flowers grow on trees.

Strictly speaking you've left off bark (and a whole bunch of animals if you want to get picky - do squirrels grow on trees?). But yes, the thing that half-line refers to is a type of one of those three things.
Each line of the second half of the riddle, and each couplet of the first half, separately reveals the answer. So you've got six different ways to find it! ![]() hS |

Based on your wording, I think that certain capital letters spell the answer.
But in case it's not, does that half-line refer to the half of the name of whatever grows on trees?

Because it says 'Front', as in front half, or first half. Unless you only mean first letter.

I might be an idiot, but I just can't see what are the lines of the second stanza referring to.....

So all of the Noldor yell 'Nonsense' when they see the answer?

So something which sounds like 'Codswallop'?
'Gods gallop'? Orome?
