Was this person from Gondor?
Beregond
12-18-2008, 12:18 PM
Yes, this person was from the realm of Gondor.
Meneltarmacil
12-18-2008, 12:23 PM
Male?
Beregond
12-18-2008, 12:30 PM
Yes!
(Only one "no" so far..)
Meneltarmacil
12-18-2008, 01:22 PM
Did he appear in LOTR?
Am I the only one asking questions now?
Beregond
12-18-2008, 01:31 PM
Yes, you're the only person asking about this third age male mortal from Gondor, in the Lord of the Rings.
Meneltarmacil
12-18-2008, 02:22 PM
Is this guy from the lineage of the Stewards?
Beregond
12-18-2008, 11:14 PM
Nay, you are astray.

Did this person live in Minas Tirith?
Beregond
12-20-2008, 10:40 AM
No, this third age male mortal character from LotR lived in the land of Gondor, but not in the White City.
Meneltarmacil
12-20-2008, 03:08 PM
Was it Imrahil?
Beregond
12-20-2008, 03:24 PM
Nay, not Imrahil by half. :)
Meneltarmacil
12-20-2008, 04:56 PM
One of those other nobles that showed up with their armies?
Beregond
12-20-2008, 09:38 PM
No, not one of them.
Meneltarmacil
12-20-2008, 10:08 PM
A ranger of Ithilien, perhaps?
Beregond
12-20-2008, 11:40 PM
To that I also say no. :)
Did this person fight during the Siege?
Beregond
12-21-2008, 09:23 AM
No, he didn't.
Meneltarmacil
12-21-2008, 05:47 PM
Would this happen to be the King of the Dead, then?
Beregond
12-21-2008, 06:18 PM
Nay, this person is living.
Was this person of military age during the War?
Beregond
12-21-2008, 07:55 PM
I...don't know. Kind of doesn't matter (hint hint). Not too young, certainly!
Beregond
12-30-2008, 12:29 AM
I refuse to go down in history as the thread-killer! Here's a hint - this person is...secretive.
And...this third age male mortal character from LotR who lived in the land of Gondor, but not in the White City, is NOT Imrahil or any Lord or Ranger. Nor is he dead. He did not quite fight in the Siege of Minas Tirith and was old, but not necessarily past fighting age. If there is one clue you should pay less attention to, it would be "Gondor".

OK, I've got something. Ask away!
Beregond

I'm just glad you got it right before I forgot it! :D

Correct, Firefoot! Please take over. (Sorry, Beregond...;))
Firefoot
02-18-2009, 02:13 PM

Pitchwife
07-05-2010, 01:33 PM
BG, it rather looks like Nilp has completely forgotten about this thread, and I haven't seen him on the Downs for quite a while anyway, so I don't think it makes much sense to ask him any more questions about the last riddle. So if you'd like to take over, just think of something/somebody new, and we can start firing our questions at you, OK? (If in doubt how this works, just read the very first post on this thread.)
Blind Guardian
07-05-2010, 02:04 PM

Is it in The Hobbit? - No
Did he live in the First Age? - Actually, scrap what I said above and make that a clear NO. I was just being nasty and allowing for a crazy theory which isn't substantiated by anything in the book. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
Did he take part in LotR? - Yes!!!
Is he a bird? - No
Ent? - No
Gollum? - No
Is he a wose? - We've established above that he's not a Man, which would include the Woses (or Drú-edain); therefore obviously No.
Did it help the fellowship in any way? - Yes, I think you could say he was helpful to some of them.
THere's only two yes answers.
Indeed. Makes me wonder when any of you folks last visited a farm, zoo or circus... (Yeah, that was a hint!)

Well done, BG - Fatty Lumpkin it is! Take the thread!
(To clear up the First Age ambivalence up there: considering that Bombadil has been around for a long, long time and we're never told how old Fatty was, I had that madcap idea that Iarwain Ben-adar's mount could perhaps have been some equally enigmatic long-lived beast along the lines of e.g. Huan or Thorondor; but there's really nothing pointing in that direction beyond his connection with ole Bombadillo, and nothing indicating that he was anything but a regular pony. Sorry if anybody was led astray!)

Oh, I could and I would, but the contrast between your guess and the character I'm actually thinking of was just hilarious; you'll understand when you see who it is. I didn't mean that there was anything wrong with your guess as such - sorry if it came across that way.
