Still no, but you're closer in time period. No, I wouldn't consider Turin a descendant of kings, and that should be a fairly important clue.

Sophia

Gil-Galad, son of of Fingon, sent to Falas?

perfect... a rough translation of Erienion is Son of Kings, isn't it?

Sophia

Actually, it's "scion of Kings" but your close. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I somtimes liked water,
but soon my kind did not
I saw something pretty,
but death's all I got.

Are you Deagol?

Me personally? Not really. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

But that's the answer to the riddle, your go oh majesty of shiny-pans!

Can I make a point. This is a no riddles thread! So cna we keep it to just statements and not riddles please.

That's what I get for not paying attention.

Good point Dragon Maiden, and Welcome to the Downs! Please check out the Quiz Room Rules stickied at the top of the Quiz Room if you plan on participating here or the Quotes room.

Fair point, Dragon Maiden. And welcome to the Downs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK, no riddles. But to make it a bit more challenging, I am going to make the next question quite vague. Feel free to ask questions to narrow things down - but they must be ones to which a yes or no (or don't know) answer can be given (eg Are you a Hobbit? Are you male? etc). Feel free too to guess, but I won't accept more than one guess at a time. Anyone making multiple guesses will be asked to choose just one.

So, here's the question:

I live in Mirkwood. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Are you male?

Are you an Elf?

Yes to both questions.

I am a male Elf living in Mirkwood. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Are of some sort of nobility?

Legolas/ Thranduil?

~Menelien

I was already here. I was Belethcuwen, but I had to change my email account so I thought I might as well change the whole thing.

Good question ... No.

Which one? You can only guess one at a time.

Are you Galion?

He was the Elven King's butler, mentioned in The Hobbit. I don't recall any other Mirkwood elves actually being named.

Bingo, Eruanna, I am indeed the wine-swilling butler. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ok, following the same rules:

I went to Rohan. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nice and easy eh? lol
Hmm. Gandalf?

No....not Gandalf. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eotheod?? Founder of Rohan

Are you of the race of Men?

Are you Rohannesse?

I am not Eotheod.

I went to Rohan, but I am not of Rohan.

Yes, I am of the race of men.

Are you Aragorn?

(I know its the obvious one, but I had to ask ... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

You're of the race of men, are you male?

Sophia

Halbarad? Leader of the gray company to Rohan to serve their lord in his need.

Hey, good guess from very few clues, Tinuviel.
Halbarad it is. Well done, please continue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It seemed fairly easy to me with the questions already asked. He was the only person I could think of that was a man that went to rohan and wasn't Aragorn. Anyway here's my try at a puzzler

I knew many secrets but few could hear me tell them.

Are you animal or vegetable? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Man or Elf?

Animal to the first question and neither to the second.

Are you Shadowfax?

No

Are you Mandos?

Are you one of the "Free People" (Elves, Men, Dwarves, Ents, Hobbits)?

No and no

Are you Shelob? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Were you alive at the time of the War of the Ring?
