Alcarillo 08-14-2005 01:59 PM

Nope. It's more literal.

the guy who be short 08-14-2005 02:06 PM

Land of the Dead That Live - the island where Beren and Luthien came back?

Alcarillo 08-14-2005 02:30 PM

Yep, your turn.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-24-2005 09:07 PM

*poke*
 
Mr. Short?

Marky Lazer 08-29-2005 12:28 PM

Well, it's not my turn... sue me... :D

We come in black and white
White as snow, black as the night
We sailed south, upon the Great Sea
Where we went remains a mystery

the guy who be short 08-29-2005 02:42 PM

You know, technically you should wait for 10 days, but I'll let it slide seeing as I forgot about the existance of this thread. :p

Numenoreans?

Marky Lazer 09-12-2005 07:12 AM

I'm afraid that is not what I'm looking for...

Marky Lazer 09-16-2005 07:31 AM

Hint: there are ten of them.

Telperaca 09-16-2005 08:39 AM

It's the people who go to the Grey Heavens??

Gil-Galad 09-16-2005 05:02 PM

Barahir and the outlaws?

Marky Lazer 09-19-2005 03:13 AM

Both not correct.

Think about spies...

Marky Lazer 09-22-2005 03:55 AM

Another hint: Tarannon Falastur.

Now, it's easy enough, surely?

Koneko 09-22-2005 05:02 AM

Queen Beruthiel's cats?

Marky Lazer 09-22-2005 06:44 AM

Very good! Thread is Koneko's!

Koneko 09-22-2005 01:06 PM

Crud. I didn't expect to be right... uhm... can someone else do a riddle? -_-;;

The Perky Ent 09-22-2005 08:59 PM

hehe happens to the best of us! I've got one...

Thrice have we survived the end
Music engraved in our name.
In the second, we lived proudly
Light led the music
Now we are a relic of the past
Music heard no more.



Sorry it isn't that good. I'm not at my poetic peak :D

Gil-Galad 09-22-2005 09:23 PM

sounds like the Elves of Lindon, or Greenelves

The Perky Ent 09-22-2005 09:36 PM

You are indeed close, Gil-Galad (hehe especially with your name), but that is not the answer. Well...at least, the answer is part of the answer you gave :D

I thought it would be harder :(

Gil-Galad 09-22-2005 09:50 PM

him... Laquiendi?

The Perky Ent 09-22-2005 09:56 PM

....um...no

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-29-2005 07:43 PM

Guessing . . .
 
Moriquendi?

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-29-2005 08:02 PM

Lindar ?

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-08-2005 05:40 PM

*Bump*
 
Perky ?

Marky Lazer 10-19-2005 05:59 AM

Two bumps? Time for a new one. I'm not sure if does one works, but let me give it a try anyway...

To use as bait
For a nice fish
Can’t speak of hate
Yes, nice that is

Morsul the Dark 10-25-2005 09:17 AM

is it that simple?...it cant be it never is...

A worm?

Rombout 10-27-2005 11:33 AM

...
 
Is it from GOllem?

Gil-Galad 10-27-2005 07:34 PM

hmmm...Deagol?

Marky Lazer 10-28-2005 02:33 AM

Not correct yet. Though Morgul is on the rigt way.

Rimbaud 10-28-2005 02:42 AM

Wormtongue?

Marky Lazer 10-28-2005 05:52 AM

Spot on!

Rimbaud 10-28-2005 06:11 AM

Short and sweet
 
Root and branch protect him
His name sprung from their doughty limb
.

Valesse 11-01-2005 09:08 PM

Perhaps Quickbeam?

Morsul the Dark 11-03-2005 08:31 AM

for some odd reason though i doubt its right it just sounds like tom bombadil

Gil-Galad 11-03-2005 07:48 PM

Old Man Willow?


(is it me or did i already post here and it dissapeared...)

Gothmog 11-04-2005 05:40 AM

A far-fetched idea...Legolas Greenleaf? As leafs literally are sprung from the limbs. "Root and branch protect him". Hmmm...Well he is one of the woodelves.

Rimbaud 11-08-2005 03:11 AM

None of the above, I'm afraid. It's a very literal 'name-related' clue.

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-08-2005 05:02 AM

Thorin Oakenshield ?

Rimbaud 11-08-2005 05:29 AM

Perfect
 
That is correct, well done, and your turn!

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-08-2005 04:18 PM

arrgh I kind of hoped I was wrong! I am no good at these kind of things, so don't expect anything of my "riddle"

Among faithful I was, yet shunned by all
Placed high over vale yet in the ground

Morsul the Dark 11-09-2005 08:26 AM

Gandalf? his fellow isatari shunned him by turning on him or not helping he becAame gandalf the white in moria in the ground?
