How about the elves of Lorien? Specifically, singing about Gandalf's death. Not sure about the one color, though.

Gil-Galad 07-20-2004 04:09 PM

Hint: First Age

Niluial 07-20-2004 05:32 PM

Maybe the Nazgul? They wore black cloaks with hoods yet beneath their bodies were invisible. Their song could be their screech? I’m probably very off.

Gil-Galad 07-21-2004 09:42 AM

Hint: look at last hint

drigel 07-21-2004 10:33 AM

The Green Elves of Ossiriand ??

Gil-Galad 07-21-2004 10:38 AM

must give reasons...

drigel 07-21-2004 02:08 PM

sorry im a newbie to this game :) looks like fun though

unseen: secretive forest dwellers

one color: green - see above as to why

Singers of Joy and Doom: that was tough - a reference to Teleri in general? I dont remember the Laiquendi being exceptional speakers.... or mabye Lanthir Lamath?

Gil-Galad 07-21-2004 02:16 PM

The place where the Green-elves lived was called Lindon, Lindon meaning Land of Song, so the Ossirian are good singers, anyway you can go now

drigel 07-21-2004 02:32 PM

ok - good one! Lindon i always associated w/2nd and 3rd ages but your right!

my 1st attempt disclaimer - gonna be lame
