That could be many things... Melkor

The White makes me think of either Gandalf or Saruman. According to the movies, couldn't one say that Saruman the White gave life to the Uruk Hai, definitely dark beings/things?

Not the best of guesses, but I have to think a bit more to come up with something better...

You are both right. I had Saruman and the Uruks in mind, but I did not think of Melkor!

Well pick one of us then to shoot out the next question

Gil, you seem to have one in mind... :p ;)

You can have it, Gil... You answered first and as Ninja said, you seem to have one in mind :) For me, it would take days to come up with something that I'd like to post here...

thanks, i shall bring back my old one that nobody at all attempted to anwser

left, right, left
used for death, and for tools
left, right, left
after me comes my head


remember, its a dwarf, and think, what does "left,right,left" apply to?

Dáin II Ironfoot ?

i made it too easy for you rune... but explain why you think its Dain Ironfoot!

Well, the left, right part is of course reffering to feet.

Iron is used for weapons aka death and for making tools.

The last part I could never figure out, that is why I did not guess the first time.

the last part refers to his some, Thorin Stonehelm, you can figure out the rest...

I cannot think of anything, so it has to be something ridicules.

Joy with an unknown past, that not even the great can rule.

How about... Tom Bombadil?

Of course it is, sorry I could think of no better.

Score 2 for the ninja. How about this...

I saw my master, but not his successor. You can see my prey, but only ab the domen.

sounds goofy, but pretty easy.

need a hint? it's daughter lives near her master's apprentice.

random guess...Turgon

Nope. Another hint: think jumanji. or do you want the answer?

The answer is... *********!
Last hint. My next post will be.... THE ANSWER :D

Well, it doesn't quite fit the number of stars in there, but I'll take a crack at it anyway... is it Samwise? I'm fairly sure it's wrong, but since there are no other ideas...

How about Ungoliant? The master=Morgoth, his successor aka apprentice=Sauron. The daughter=Shelob. I dont' quite get the "ab the domen"-part, but it may hint about the abdomen...

Correct! now, to clear something up: you can see my prey, but only ab the domen. as in you could see her dead prey at her abdomen.
Do you have one in mind?

Sorry I'm late!
 

Oh, sorry, I just noticed that I was the reason this thread died! I'll get you a new one, but I can't guarantee the quality of it... Here it goes:

Two legs left
One all right
Befriended with him whose fate
was dark as the night

Pretty easy, I think. Good luck!

Hmmm... keeps making me think of Gothmog because in the film hs is shown having a limp in his leg, plus he was alligned with the Witch-King...

Sorry, that's not it... It's more of a book-riddle than a movie-riddle. Plus, it would be a bit too obvious if I gave you a riddle with the answer Gothmog :) Not that I'm in any way related to that 3rd age scum ;) Keep guessing!

Book-wise eh???


well i got To Beleg mainly for the last to verses cause they relate to Turin.

Or Brandir, but he was not Túrin's friend, actually...

Correct! And Legate, I didn't think of Brandir until you mentioned him, but he almost fits too... But Sador is the correct answer, the thread is yours mhagain!

Cirdan perhaps

Makes me think of Arwen. But at the same time I get the feeling that I'm not thinking wide enough...

I have an idea

It might be Durin VII

He was there at the end of the third Thorin (descendant of Thorin III Stonehelm)
He was the last Durin
The Elves didn't see him again
And as some creatures in ME believe, Dwarves return to stone after their death, explaining the last verses

Radagast even maybe?

Tom Bombadil
still, I'd guess he was the only one of his kin as well

Treebeard?!??? (okay we are at the point of making up nonsenses now)
