Glóin: Son of Gróin, and father of Gimli Elf-friend, Glóin accompanied Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins on the Quest of Erebor, and years later was present with his son at the Council of Elrond.

As he considered this riddle:

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

Iron Hills, the source of the bulk of the Dwarf Army in the Battle of Five Armies.

Jewels of Fëanor: A name for the Silmarils, from Fëanor their maker.

Sorry, that is all I could find! Let me try to make this work.

Feanor has another name: Curufinwë, which means skillful, which is almost the same as Curunír (Saruman) which means 'Man of Skill'. Saruman was in the same order as Gandalf who was in the hobbit. Whew!

Heh, nice one Arwen. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

K is for Kili-A Dwarf of the party.

Edit: Woops, I misread her post, wrong letter!

Ungoliant: The evil creature of spider-form who was Melkor's accomplice in the Darkening of Valinor, and who fled with him to Middle-earth. The most famous of Ungoliant's children, though, lived far to the south and east of the Ered Gorgoroth, on the borders of the land of Mordor. This was Shelob, who haunted a network of tunnels watching the pass of Cirith Ungol, eking a living on the hapless Orcs of Sauron. She had offspring of her own, too, smaller than she but with a cruel intelligence, that spread throughout the Ephel Dúath and north into Mirkwood. It was creatures like these that Bilbo encountered in The Hobbit, and through fighting them that his sword acquired its name Sting.

V is for Valinor, the undieing land across the sea

Wargs: The ferocious and intelligent race of wolves that lived in the northern Vales of Anduin, and probably elsewhere in the north of Middle-earth. They aided the goblins when they were chasing Bilbo and Co.

X is for Xylographs, or wood engravings, such as Beorn may have had in his home. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

This may be a teensy little bit random, but Yule is a Hobbit festival!

Z

Zaragamba - Hobbitish for 'Oldbuck', the family which became the Brandybucks and settled Buckland - through which Bilbo and company passed on their way east to The Last Homely House

NEW TOPIC: Lines of Tolkien Poetry

A

At night they dance beneath the roofless sky,
When naked elms entwine in branching lace
The Seven Stars, and through the boughs, the eye
Stares down cold-gleaming in the high moon’s face.

Book of Lost Tales I – “The Trees of Kortirion”

One of Bilbo's favourite bath songs, as sung by PIppin- "A Conspiracy Unmasked", FOTR.

"Silver flow the streams from Celos to Erui
In the green fields of Lebennin!
Tall grows the grass there.In the wind from the sea.
The white lilies sway,
And the golden bells are shaken of mallos and alfrin
In the green fields of Lebennin,
In the wind from the sea!

D

He battled with the Dumbledoors,
The Hummerhorns, and bumblebees,
and won the golden Honeycomb;
and running home on sunny seas
in ship of leaves and gossamer
with blossom for a canopy,
he sat and sang, and furbished up
and burnished up his panoply.

Ere iron was found or tree was hewn,
When young was mountain under moon;
Ere ring was made, or wrought was woe,
It walked the forests long ago.


Gandalf's Riddle of the Ents.

Faithful servant, yet Master´s bane
Lightfoot´s foal, swift Snowmane

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Grey as a mouse...

"Hey dol! merry dol!ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong!hop along! fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom.jolly Tom,Tom bombadillo!"

In western lands beneath the Sun
The flowers may rise in Spring,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing

With a ping and a pang the fiddle-strings broke!
The cow jumped over the Moon,
And the little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the Saturday dish went off at a run
with the silver Sunday spoon.

That was the best I could do, sorry!

The world is grey, the mountains old,
The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dum.
But still the sunken stars appear
In dark and windless Mirrormere;
Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

Faithful servant yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane.

Mourn not overmuch! Mighty was the fallen, meet was his ending. When his mound is raised, women then shall weep. War now calls us!

Slim pickings for J
Well done !!!
Fair winds

To NORTH there lay the Land of Dread,
whence only evil pathways led.

O

He twinkled his feet as he thought of the meat,
Of the punch and the peppery brew,
Till he tripped unaware on his slanting stair, And fell like meteors do.

Q? How about I make one up. Terribly sorry everyone.

The Queen of the magical cats
She was a dark and mournful Queen
to Tarannon Falastur she married,
On whom she would lean.

She owned ten marvellous and magical cats,
Hey, at least they were not bats!

She set them to spy
But that made her cry

She was set adrift on the Great Sea,
Gee, I am glad I am not she!

Well done Arwen [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
