Who Am I?

[Amathoronion]

I am the servent of Aule of the Valar Do you know my name????????????????????????????????

[Pallando B.C]

There were many servants of Aulë, but I think you mean Sauron

[Amathoronion]

correct since none of the orther servents of Aule where major charctors Sauron would be right.Your turn

[Tower of Moon and Shadow]

I may be wrong but i belive that Sauron is a servant of Melekor smilies/confused.gif

[Pallando B.C]

He was a servant of Melkor, but his original master was Aulë.

Anyway here is mine:

I originated in Dor-lomin, my father was imprisoned in the 'Iron Prison', i married my sister, and I mistakenly killed a great compainion of mine

I am...

[WarBringer]

Easy...Turin

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Pallando, that was rubbish. You were obviously just being lazy...

[Legolas]

Just a note - Saruman was a Maia of Aule too. smilies/wink.gif

[Pallando B.C]

* Pallando laughs at Gwaihir the Windlord *

It probably was a bit lazy, but it was meant to be a easy question, for the newly deceased member.

I'll give you an Ultra Hard one when I get my chance, if your so picky about being lazy smilies/smile.gif

Anyway, WarBringer was correct and Legolas was also, but WarBringer will continue the tread.

[Amathoronion]

[Diamond18]

Ëol?

[the real findorfin]

Yep!

[Diamond18]

Like a bird in a cage I was caught,
But bravely in battle I fought.
I was like frost not touched by the sun,
Now The White I am called by one,
I am what you think I am not.

Eowyn! The way, way, best person in ME.

[WarBringer]

sorry aboout that everyone... on vacation, and i should have said that... anyway, i will continue the game, although it has continued without me...

I find something long forgotten
I am short in stature, favored by the old.
I was killed by a friend, by a stranglehold.. who ami I?

[Nurumaiel]

Is it Deagol?

~Nurumaiel

[Diamond18]

Manardariel was right, it was Éowyn (or Éowyn/Dernhelm, really.)

But thanks for falling for my little "White" red herring, mordor136. smilies/biggrin.gif (Remember that Faramir called her the White Lady of Rohan smilies/wink.gif )

[Manardariel]

OK, cool.Is it my turn now? Or stil WarBringer´s?? I´m a bit confused....

[ December 12, 2002: Message edited by: Manardariel ]

[Pallando B.C]

You go, Manardariel.

[WarBringer]

yes, you go. My question was answered so its your turn now.

[Manardariel]

Guess this:

Faithful a brother,
Bold, wise and kind,
a Captain admired,
and love do I find.
Who am I???

[WarBringer]

You are Farimir!

[Amathoronion]

Hi everyone have you all been enjoying yorselfs??I am new here so I am just trying to keep up good questions everyone!!! smilies/wink.gif

[Manardariel]

You have it, WarBringer. Go for it! smilies/smile.gif

[WarBringer]

i'll do mine again as a riddle-
Deciever of Kings
But weaker than death
Befriender of evil
and the shadow among many colours
Who am i?

[Pallando B.C]

Ohh, I will say Sauron

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

and the shadow among many colours

I say Saruman.

Although I am probably wrong smilies/biggrin.gif

[Manardariel]

Tricky... maybe a Nazgul? You know, a SHADOW among many colors... and shadows sometimes are black... and king...

[LePetitChoux]

Wormtongue! (Is it?)

[WarBringer]

LePetitChoux, it is wormtongue, you are correct!Your Turn!

[WarBringer]

Whenever your ready(i'm very hasty)

[Quellelithion]

HUAN IS SO COOL!!! too bad he died, lol

[Pallando B.C]

Although I like Huan to, only post Questions and/or answers please!

[lathspell]

Sorry, I know it is not my turn! If any object to this I will try and answer something first, but do any of you know the answer to this riddle:

Through darkness I came to light
and after light there again was dark
but in this second dark
there was always with me this single white spark.

There are two answers possible as far as I know. one is Frodo. The Stabbing at Weathertop being the first Dark, Elrond and the healing being the Light. Mordor being the second dark and The Phial of Galadriel being the single bright Spark.
Yet this is not the answer I am looking for. My bro couldn't answer it, so now I wanna know if you ppl can smilies/smile.gif

Good luck.
greetings,
lathspell

[hobbitlass]

Eowyn comes to my mind. The first dark was her depression and the sickness from stabbing the witch-king. The light being from Aragorn when he heals her. The second darkness when she slips back into her depression and the little spark being feelings for Faramir. That's my guess.

[lathspell]

Well, I must admit that you did some nice thinking, but it was not the one I was looking for.
Try look into the Silmarillion.

greetings,
lathspell

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Just a guess. Was it Beren? Like, after wandering he came to Doriath and met Luthien, and then when he accepted his challenge to get the Silmaril, he always had Luthien there for a light.

Probably wrong though. Just a guess.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
Aylwen

[lathspell]

You're guess is right, Aylwen Dreamsong!

Good job

greetings,
lathspell

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Alrightie then...Sorry it took me so long..LoL I forgot I tried to answer it so0o0o.

Anyway, I'm not so good at this kinda thing, so here goes:

I am a sister to two, and knew Gandalf the Grey very well.

Easy I know. Like I said, I am no good at this type of quiz thing, so bear with me.

Sorry again for taking so long. Thanks for the reminder, Beren87

Aylwen

[Beren87]

Thats what us addicted people with no lives and a cable modem are here for Aylwen. smilies/biggrin.gif

Is it Galadriel?

[ January 02, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

No, It's not Galadriel. I suppose it was very open wasn't it? But if it isn't Galadriel, there aren't really too many others it could be.

Keep trying. smilies/biggrin.gif

Hahaha
Aylwen

[Beren87]

Is there any signifigance in saying "Gandalf THE GREY", as in, not the white?

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Yes, there is...sort of... smilies/biggrin.gif

Aylwen

Edit: Wanna hint? The person's window looks out beyond the Walls of the Night

[ January 02, 2003: Message edited by: Aylwen Dreamsong ]

[Manardariel]

I would have said Faramir, but he´s not exactly FEMALE.... Arwen?
She has two brothers and probably knows Gandalf as GREY pretty well, but just meets him once or so as white.. just guessing, though.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

No...good guessing though smilies/biggrin.gif

Hahaha I'm stumping you all. (Just Kidding).

Keep trying!!

Aylwen

[lathspell]

I think it is that Vala... *trying to think hard*...

Nienna, sister of the Feanturi (Irmo and Namo or Mandos and Lorien) and here house is in the West of the West, the windows looking out from the walls of the world. She knows Gandalf, I guess better as Olorin, for his ways took him to Nienna oft in his youth and from her he learned pity and patience.

greetings,
lathspell

[Mandos]

may i have a go at this? i just finished reading the Silmarillion.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Awww! I thought I'd stumped you for a minute. Oh well. Correct.

Aylwen

[Mandos]

is it Elbereth, aka Varda?

[Mandos]

i guess not.haha sorry i didnt see that

[Manardariel]

Bringing this up to the top..., *push* *shove* There!

So, lathspell, your turn!

[Manardariel]

Lathspell? Lathspell? Are you going to post?? I´ll just do a new one, ok?

In twilight I love
and I ride through the darkness of death
To renew the Sun.
who am I????

Have fun guessing! smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Is it Arien?

[Manardariel]

Nope!

[Sindae]

is it Aragorn? he passes the paths of the dead and I think Minas Anor means city of the sun. That would be my guess...

[Manardariel]

Correct. And I thought it was hard. *grumbles disgrunlted*

[Sindae]

well since aragorn is all i think of it wasn't that hard for me... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sindae]

OK...here comes my riddle:

in exile I build
the most beautiful garden
light in the dark
to those that wander

it's a person I want.

[akhtene]

Is that Galadriel? As Lorien means 'garden' (I think smilies/confused.gif )

[ January 10, 2003: Message edited by: akhtene ]

[Sindae]

ts...that was fast. Yes it IS Galadriel...
well congratulations! smilies/wink.gif

[Iarwain]

I have an eager spirit, a jealous brother am I. At my death, no body was left. My children carried a burden to their deaths, which I brought upon them. My eager charge brought upon me isolation and doom. Who Am I?

[Manardariel]

I´m almost sure you´re Feanor.

[Iarwain]

yep, go ahead smilies/smile.gif

[Manardariel]

Ok, let´s see....

Eyes that see
traveling feet
I followed hope
In darkness deep

[ January 12, 2003: Message edited by: Manardariel ]

[the real findorfin]

It could be Bilbo when he gets lost in the Misty Mountains?

[Aratlithiel]

Sounds like Gandalf when he looked for Thrain in Dol Guldur

[Manardariel]

Nope.
Maybe I should say

Eyes that see
travelling feet
I followed "hope"
through darkness deep.

Better?

[Beren87]

Well...it could be referring to Gollum following the ring, which would seem to him like hope.

Could be Frodo following the phial of Galadriel through Shelob's lair.

Could be Shelob herself following them, because they were her last hope for food.

[the real findorfin]

Yes, I'd have to go for Frodo as well. Hope being the Light of Earendil of course.

[Aratlithiel]

Hmmm..."eyes that see" is throwing me off...

Could it be Legolas following Aragorn (the hope of Men) through the Paths of the Dead?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

i dunno tuor? looking for the light in the tunnel of the noldoli, just a guess :\

[Manardariel]

Aratlithiel- correct! Your turn.

[Aratlithiel]

OMG! I got one?!?!?!?! I wasn't prepared for this. I'd like to thank the academy...oh, sorry. Different fantasy.

This will be easy because I totally s#*k at this...

I challenge the Black
when darkness falls
And so find destiny
upon the walls.

[Frofro]

This looks like fun!
Gotta be Eowyn smilies/smile.gif

[Aratlithiel]

I actually had Faramir in mind when I wrote it but after I went to bed last night I realized it could be either one, so your turn, Bill.

[Frofro]

Thanks, Aratlithiel. I was hoping to get it right, because I had a question in mind.
I am grey, my name is grey, and grey sits astride me: who am I?
Part of this is tricky, so don't be fooled!
smilies/tongue.gif

[the real findorfin]

Shadowfax!

[Frofro]

Yay! You got it! Shadowfax is said to be white, but white horses are known as grey. Shadows are grey, and Gandalf the grey(at first, anyway). Your go! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Frofro]

You gonna ask a question? smilies/frown.gif

[Pallando B.C]

Don't be so Hasty Bill, he/she has a bit of time before he/she has to respond. Just double-check the Rules of the Quiz Room (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000386)

[the real findorfin]

For many ages they shall wait
Their task to guard and keep the gate
To pleasure and to joy
It is their life, it is their fate

Who is it???

[Pallando B.C]

I can't recall the name, but is it the people that Isildur banished and Aragorn set free whilst on the Paths of the Dead?

[lathspell]

Just a guess: The Silent Watchers

[Aratlithiel]

Silent Watchers was my first guess to but I can't reconcile them with pleasure and joy.

The Dunedain?

WAITing for the return of the king
GUARDing the Shire
?????????????????????

[Russandol]

Mandos & Vairë ?

[the real findorfin]

all good guesses, but think of a more metephorical gate. (as in not a gate at all)

[Pallando B.C]

Círdan?

[the real findorfin]

Pallando BC got it!

[Pallando B.C]

Ok, Beware of the EASY riddle...

In a Land of Stone we are set to gaurd,
a Mighty Prince whose will is hard.
A specified task, we are set,
to make sure he lives long yet!

Who/What am I descibing?

[the real findorfin]

The Guard of Faramir, Prince of Ithilien (in Gondor - land of stone)

[Pallando B.C]

Yes, The White Company it is. Your Turn.

[the real findorfin]

In Elder days my life was set,
In bliss and splendour I did dwell,
But shadow came and overswept,
And in that land my tower fell.

The tree did fail,
My daughter fled,
my heir upon the trail,
but they were caught and were then trapped,
but saved by might of mail.

For then a hero fey and strong,
Strode forth toward his doom,
For he saved the fleeing throng
and smote down all evil,
But fell toward his tomb.

My gardens are now barren,
My fields are now lost,
and now they live beneath the sea,
and there to ever dwell you'll see,
the ruin of my ost.

[ January 21, 2003: Message edited by: the real findorfin ]

[Donlammenion]

would the hero be huan and the person not quite sure yet but im thinking

[the real findorfin]

Nope, not Huan.

[Aratlithiel]

Thingol

[the real findorfin]

Nope, Thingol is incorrect as well.

[Manardariel]

Fingolfin(Galadriel´s father, I mean- I always mix up those "Fin-s"...)
or
Elendil/Isildur

[Ultimatejoe]

It's Turgon is it not? The hero that falls towards his tomb is Glorfindel, although his body was eventually picked up by the Eagles. Turgon died when his tower (upon which he stood) fell.

Gondolin along with the rest of Beleriand sunk.

[the real findorfin]

UJoe got it, I was very pleased that it took so long. Gooo ME!!

[Ultimatejoe]

Gonna make a shot at poetry... cover your ears and wash your eyes:

I awoke with stars and water,
and I passed in the night.
Strong and fell I stood,
but overmatched in might.
My line is never forgtten,
for valour and for plight.
By both hair and heart,
their fires burn most bright.

What's my name?

[Beren87]

Finwë?

[Ultimatejoe]

I knew it was easy, but I didn't think it was THAT easy.

[Beren87]

WOW! There was no way I thought I was correct. That was just the first elven-lord I thought of. That was strange.

Ack, and now on to the prose.

Father of Kings
I stood tall
I stand against evil
which causes my fall
A might supreme
I fought against
To my death
from a lack of sense

Wow, so horrible. What I get for attempting to rhyme. But anyway, there you go.

[Entmoot]

Is it Elendil?

[Beren87]

Nope, its not.

[Ultimatejoe]

That'd be Fingolfin.

[the real findorfin]

Finwe, maybe its to do with his fall in front of Formenos.

[Ultimatejoe]

I doubt he'd repeat the last riddle.

Father of Kings
I stood tall
I stand against evil
which causes my fall
A might supreme
I fought against
To my death
from a lack of sense

Fingolfin is father to Fingon and Turgon (KINGS not king), he stands against Morgoth, he falls to his death in the pit carved by Grond, a might supremem is again Morgoth, and it says that he was basically nuts when he rode to the challenge; hence the "from a lack of sense"

[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: Ultimatejoe ]

[Ultimatejoe]

Hello?

[Beren87]

Sorry, was having computer problems. You are absolutely correct!

[Ultimatejoe]

Huzzah! Lets see if I can craft a harder one..

I've rode many miles,
for the sake of kin;
And many more I'll travel,
With tidings and with twins.
My path is ever dark,
but with you I do not care;
My fate will come with daylight,
and with dawn comes the heir.

Who am I?

[Beren87]

Halbarad?

[Ultimatejoe]

Damn, yeah.

[Beren87]

Haha, was just a hunch, and then I looked it up.

Watch the lang. btw, Admins don't like that.

A small one I am
and yet only one way
A friend of Sams
I helped some get away
I led the rebels till
nearly the end of my day
Imprisoned I was
But with help I got away

I give up at rhyming I swear...

[alaklondewen]

Is this Bill the pony?

[Manardariel]

Fatty Boldger!!

A small one I am- a hobbit, duh
and yet only one way- because he´s FAT
A friend of Sams- easy
I helped some get away
I led the rebels till- rebels against Sharkey
nearly the end of my day
Imprisoned I was-
But with help I got away

[Ultimatejoe]

Nice...

[Beren87]

Bill the pony! my, that was humerous, I truly did laugh.

But, Fatty Bolger is correct.

[Manardariel]

Thank you!
Ok, here´s mine........

Powerfull and full of grace
a child loved by many

Who am I???

[Aratlithiel]

Ummm...that could be a ton of people. Could you narrow it down a little?

[Manardariel]

Actually it couldn´t be. But fine.

Beautiful and full of grace
a child loved by many
most blessed of all in Arda
most powerfull in song

[Beren87]

Hmm...Luthein?

[Manardariel]

Yeah! Just courious, could you have answered it before?

[Ultimatejoe]

Powerfull and full of grace
a child loved by many

Luthien, Arwen, Maeglin, Finrod, Fingolfin, Gil-Galad, Galadriel, Finduilas, Elrond, Elros, Maedros (or Maglor, I always get them mixed up...) Legolas (by contemporary tastes) Aragorn II, just about every elf who didn't "wake up."

[Aratlithiel]

Actually it couldn´t be. But fine.

Looking for a smilie icon sticking out it's tongue so I can send a raspberry to Manardariel. Darn! Couldn't find one! LOL.

[Beren87]

Good lord I was right!

Ah, i have no time as I'm studying for finals.

I give it out to whoever wants to ask one!

[Manardariel]

Oh, fine, you guys have me!!
*throws hands up*

One of you 2 can go.

[Beren87]

Ah, I do so love snow days

My family escaped one ruin
only to live in another
Many around feared me
for I was the lady, no other
By one I was hurt
even as I try
I could not go out
Now I say goodbye.

I officially hate this topic smilies/tongue.gif

[Manardariel]

Galadriel or Ninior (sp?)?

[Beren87]

Nope, its not Galadriel.

[Ultimatejoe]

My family escaped one ruin
only to live in another
Many around feared me
for I was the lady, no other
By one I was hurt
even as I try
I could not go out
Now I say goodbye.That's quite the rhyme there... Celebrian is the only name that comes to mind. But nobody feared her. Idril is my only other guess.

[Ardwenna]

Could it be Eowyn?

[Manardariel]

It´s not Eowyn...or is it? Wait, that could be... or maybe Nineor, Daughter of Morwen&Hurin?

[Manardariel]

Shelob it is!

[Russandol]

This poetry lark is hard work! smilies/eek.gif

How about a haiku instead?

I stand by my friends
Laughter is my herald
Better late than never.

Too easy!

[Beren87]

Tulkas?

That wasn't a true Haiku by the way, 6 syllables in the second and third lines (Depending on how its read one could say however).

[elven maiden Earwen]

gandalf

[Ultimatejoe]

Beren has it I think.

Haiku can be broken down by syllables as 5, 7, 5. Traditionally they are almost exclusively imagery poems, usually pertaining to nature.

[Russandol]

I was less rigid to the Japanese structure and only adhered to the 17 syllable rule. It's hard enough to come up verse in this thread as it is!

But Beren has it with Tulkas.

[Beren87]

I most defenitly agree Russandol.

Oh dear, my turn again...I'm beginning to hate this game.

An ambassador to view beauty
I was sent back to lead
But there I fell in love
and then that girl I wed
So I founded a kingdom
and ruled a bunch of elves
for this they changed my name
I also made some Dwarves delve


There you go!

[lathspell]

Thingol, I supppose... or should we call him Elwe Singollo.

[Beren87]

That would be him!

[lathspell]

Great!

Twice escaped; it was her
that I helped wherever she went.
I was faithful to my master,
yet I forsook him in the end.

Good luck.

[the real findorfin]

Huan??

[lathspell]

Very good, Findorfin!

Proceed

[Ultimatejoe]

Do we have to do this in rhyming form?

[Beren87]

As long as its prose, I don't think so.

[Ultimatejoe]

Dude, prose is the opposite of rhyme.

[Manardariel]

Yes, whatever.
Findorfin, you have a game going on here! *bump-a-bump-dump*

[Beren87]

Yes...that is what prose is. So it can be rhyming or in prose form.

well here goes anyway


i have fought for my country city
which was under seige

my gleaming armor in the sun shall bring joy to those in need of help
who am i?

[Pallando B.C]

Aragorn. Or You?

[lathspell]

Faramir, I think

[Gil-Galad]

very close both of you he fought with them but it think thats the only hint i can give for now

(its hinted in 3rd book)

[Gil-Galad]

(also think armor)

[Annunfuiniel]

Eomer?

[Manardariel]

Imrahil or Erkenbrand, me thinks...

[Gil-Galad]

it was imrahil with his armor good job your turn!

[Manardariel]

YAY! ok, let´s see....

I am proud
they call me to be one I am not
I am like a shadow
they took my little ones and pushed them into terrible destiny
I am dead
and a dead thing reminds of me

On lands now forgotten

This is hard... So I will tke a random guess!!

Arathorn??

[Tar-Palantir]

no and no. smilies/smile.gif

rest assured, I will throw out a clue before too long. But it took me at least an hour to come up with that one, so I need to enjoy all your pain and suffering. hehehe...

[the real findorfin]

Earendil!

The heights bit is the hint, because Earendil flew in the sky in Vingilot??

[Annunfuiniel]

I just throw in another name: Eärendur.

[Tar-Palantir]

no and no.

I'll add a hint tonight if nobody gets it. smilies/smile.gif

My feet in life stepped
On lands now forgotten
Númenor
My children are nameless
3 who's names Tolkien never gave us
Save one King begotten
Meneldil third King of Gondor
I have never been alone
In duty, death and life
Died with his father in the last alliance, ruled alongside his brother, stands in memory as an Argonath with Isildur
Not in one way but two
Did I rise to great heights.
Ruler of men and as an Argonath he is REALLY tall

Anárion is right! Good job Annunfuiniel. smilies/smile.gif

[Annunfuiniel]

That was great one, Tar-Palantir! It's not easy to step in your boots but I'll have to try something...

I have served with my words
one high and one higher
but my eyes aren't on birds
for another is my desire
and last one more clue
I'm not forever true.

Ok, that's quite terrible (I hate that bird line!) but it's the best I could do.

[Beren87]

Hmm..Wormtongue? I don't think that's it, but its an educated guess.

[Tar-Palantir]

I would also guess Grima first, but maybe it's Smeagol?

[Annunfuiniel]

Yes Beren, Grima Wormtongue it is despite your doubts. smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Just the part about birds threw me off.


I walk not on up
Feared by many am I
dead but not decayed
I can't be told to die

[Rochelle]

Is it the paths of the dead? ...more or less the people IN the paths of the dead? *lol*

[Beren87]

Nooope, that wasn't what I was aiming for.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Nazgul

[Tar-Palantir]

A Barrow-Wight

[Annunfuiniel]

Morgoth's spirit?

[Manardariel]

Beren? Beren87??? There´s a game going on here, remebember?? G-A-M-E!
smilies/wink.gif

[Beren87]

Oh it hasn't been that long, heysus.

Tar-Palantir is correct!

[Tar-Palantir]

Cool. *Tar does the macarena for a few minutes* - heeeeeyyyyyy macarena...

I have walked
I have crawled
and I've never been chicken

I have sailed
I have ridden
and I've been bitten

I have climbed
I have faught
and I've worn others' clothes

I have spelunked
I have flown
and I've survived the foulest of foes

Do you know who I am?
Two more clues to be sure?
Je n'ai jamais été nu et
Je déteste porter des chaussures

fun, fun, fun, I hope you enjoy. Bonne chance!

[Elfhelm]

Oh, I wish I knew French! smilies/rolleyes.gif

Perhaps porter is a cognate? Is it Samwise Gamgee?

[Beren87]

Umm...I think it was something about being naked and with shoes...

[Tar-Palantir]

Hey I spend alot of time on these - you have to at leat pretend not to know for awhile!! smilies/wink.gif

I have never been naked and
I hate to wear shoes
- those were the other clues, but I just realized that he did get naked at the BD. guess it all worked out?

Your turn Elfhelm smilies/smile.gif

[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Gil-Galad]

i was actually thinking Gollum becasue he crwaled and walked some bit and survived the foluest of Mordor and was nearly naked

[Elfhelm]

Well, I'm kinda tired, so this will be in prose:

I fought against my people at an elven port, I gave the Healer a stone of Gondolin, and I turned down a chance to rule Middle-earth. Who am I?

[elven maiden Earwen]

Galadriel.

[Gil-Galad]

Glorfindel?

[Manardariel]

*bump-da-bump-da*

[lathspell]

Just calling this thread into life again, maybe Elfhelm has been overlooking it.

[lathspell]

Well, it has officially been ten days now.
I'll ask a new one:

Tall I stood,
but he was laid to rest
between the mountain-roots.
After a long, long test.

Or so I thought, till he was caught
And I had to do my very best.

[Annunfuiniel]

Could it be Elendil? Dunno...it might be...then again...might not... Go figure! smilies/wink.gif

[Malva Headstrong]

Could that be Denethor?

[lathspell]

No, not the answer I am looking for

[Manardariel]

"The mountain roots" make me think of Moria:
Are you Gandalf and he is the Balrog? Or perhaps the other way around?? smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/smile.gif

[Annunfuiniel]

How about Ar-Pharazôn and Melkor/Sauron?
Have to keep on trying! smilies/smile.gif

[lathspell]

Yes, you have a name to keep high, Annunfuiniel smilies/wink.gif

No right answer yet, but keep thinking

[Tar-Palantir]

Tulkas and Morgoth?

[Eruanna]

Is it Sam, when he thinks that Frodo has been Killed by Shelob?? The "tall" part doesn't fit,I know. Unless it means in spirit or courage. smilies/smile.gif

[lathspell]

You're correct, Eruanna. And indeed not everything that was written was to be taken literally.

Well done.

[Eruanna]

Ok, thank you. This is probably too easy, but it is my first attempt!
smilies/rolleyes.gif

"An enchanted land
I girdled round,
In the Thousand caves
I can be found."

[Tar-Palantir]

Could it be ...ummm... Melian of Thingol who had a daughter named Lúthien who married a man who recovered a Silmaril which eventually brought about the fall of Thingol causing her to ...ahem...lower her girdle and abandon Doriath?

[ March 13, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Eruanna]

Gosh, four minutes, Tar-Palantir! I'll try harder next time. smilies/wink.gif

[Tar-Palantir]

Thanks. Here is another one.

Welcome precious earth bound child, we met you first in your father's songs

and mother's smile by mountains wild, it's in this place you now belong.

Sadly you know of all these things and remember the gardens of years gone by

for you were born under silver sky to taste the land and breeze on high.

So sing one day to all of us, the songs you learned in lost days fair,

bring legend to life and words to trust, with wisdom, patience and strength, all shared.

[ March 14, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Manardariel]

Luthien? Or Elrond, perhaps?

[Malva Headstrong]

Galadriel?

[lathspell]

Arwen, I think

[Gil-Galad]

Melian?

[Tar-Palantir]

no, no, no

It is not a woman.

[Annunfuiniel]

Eärendil?

[Manardariel]

Thingol?
Turgon?
Finrod?
Finwe?
Tuor?
Dior?
Feanor?

Hint, perhaps?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

this sounds silly, but it's not the White Tree is it?

[lathspell]

Treebeard perhaps

[Tar-Palantir]

a hint perhaps?
A hint? I don't give no stinkin' hints! Besides, tons of clues in there. smilies/smile.gif

Lathspell has it, it's Treebeard.

Welcome precious earth bound child, we met you first in your father's songs
- Earth bound = no Valinor to go to. Father's song = Eru's song

and mother's smile by mountains wild, it's in this place you now belong.
- Mother = Yavanna (growing things). Place you belong = Fangorn

Sadly you know of all these things and remember the gardens of years gone by
you know of all these things = knows the old tales, was around at the waking of elves and men and dwarves. Gardens gone by = Entwives.

for you were born under silver sky to taste the land and breeze on high.
silver sky = before the sun and moon, under the stars. taste the land = tree. breeze = tall tree

So sing one day to all of us, the songs you learned in lost days fair,
sing the song of lost days fair = Treebeards song of the list of peoples (I forget what it's called right now)

bring legend to life and words to trust, with wisdom, patience and strength, all shared.
This whole section referes to the war of the Ring and the help at Isengard and Helm's.

[lathspell]

I live in the dark,
not one little spark
can lighten my home,
where light cannot grow.

[Annunfuiniel]

Is it *shudders* Shelob?
Oh, and it's ME again, lathspell! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gil-Galad]

yah Shelob or Ungoliant
