well handsome is as handsome does I shall repeat my question(though for all watching for 10 days ill use my original post as the timer until i get a guess to confirm)

"Son of God bent on seeing a mouse"

boy and i was scared someone would have applied the 10 day rule by now. No guesses? there must be one or two? :eek: unless this is too hard for you? :rolleyes:

ok fine then may i reword the clue?

"The boy who cried wolf went and forgot what it looked like"
"Son of god bent aon seeing a mouse"

both clues to the same answer
hint:

(son of god, boy that cried wolf) were considered...

Well the only link that I can see between these two is that they were both shepherds.

So is it Shepherd of the Trees or Ent?

yes ents

also another thing both clues had in common
bent and went i used word in word

go ahead saucepanman

Thanks Morsul. :) Although, for future reference, it's best to indicate a word in word clue by preceding it with something like "found in" or "hiding within".

Eg "Boy who cried wolf forgot what it looked like when hidden in vent."

A-n-y-w-a-y, the next clue is the previous one, which remained unguessed:

Head-line writer produces article for exiled king.

*sits back and waits for unadulterated silence* :rolleyes: :D

that was my last guess which was not verified and ill use it again

No, not Gandalf.

I shall try Frodo

Frod is writing LOTR in the book...
and he offers the ring to Aragorn(I'm trying to remember if that was in the book as well.)

Or it could be Bilbo he wrote the Hobbit and he gave an article of clothin to Frodo who was master of Bag-End
master being a synonym*(SP?) for king

Nope. It's neither Frodo nor Bilbo.

Methinks it could be Elrond-
Head-line writer: He wrote down much lore, including the lines of many heads of houses
Produces article for exiled king: Gave Aragorn the tokens of his house

Nope, not Elrond either I'm afraid.

Hint: The exiled king is not of Middle-earth.

wow that completely destroys all my hopes of knowing it hehe so Sauron he was very well known and he was most likely a headline subject and he made to ring to serve his lord Melkos who was exiled from Valor

wow that is so wrong

You are correct Morsul.
 

That is so wrong. :p ;)

The only literal clue in the question is "head-line writer", although it's a tricksy one. The other elements are cryptic clues (and require a reasonable knowledge of twentieth century European history). :smokin:

By the way, that lasy post was intended to provide a hint. But don't be put off if you know little of modern European history. You should be able to get it by thinking of a "head-line writer", but you will need to think a little bit laterally.

Grima wormtounge I know nothing of moern Euro history I think you mean the king of Germany after WWI but I forgot his name

but Grima gave news to Theoden he didn't write it but he told him...

wait if I'm thinking of the right king he may have been Hapsburg(its aAustria but I'm oin to something I hope) Burg=hornburg= helm hammahand...

Hama?
or Grima?

No. Sorry, Morsul. :p :D

I need a few more guesses before I give any more hints.

:mad: dont stick your tongue out at me! just kidding let's see...

looked up laterally didn't help me...hehe

king euro history...

hgeadline writer using the definition of laterally I'll say

Sam? brought news to Merry and Pippin about Frodo who he is equal to?

Nope, sorry. Not Sam either.

OK, here's a BIG hint. You have to think both laterally and literally. Who was literally a head-line writer? :D

Saruman? I'm sure wrote about the ring and such and gave all his notes headlines

Bilbo Is the only one i know that wrote head-lines or titles

Question.
 

He wrote headlines in Arda? Or in Europe?

accroding to saucepan man

article for the exiled king is the europe bit

the headline writer is ME


The Saucepan Man:

The only literal clue in the question is "head-line writer", although it's a tricksy one. The other elements are cryptic clues (and require a reasonable knowledge of twentieth century European history).

Nope. Not Bilbo or Saruman.

OK, here are some BIG clues:

Think of a head line writer.

As for the cyptic clues, the article is grammatical in nature and the exiled king was South-East European in origin.

:smokin:

Azog.
 

The "exiled king" was King Zog of Albania.

Azog wrote on Thrór's head.

Tricksy, Saucepan. :)

I was looking at that name too about five minutes before you answered but I didn't know he had any relation to ME I did't know that one.... sadly at work I had thought up an awesome clue but I shall wait for my next turn

Bingo!
 

Well done, Nilpaurion. :)

Naughty of me, I know, to use an exiled Albanian king as part of the clue, but I do enjoy the occasional bout of tricksiness. ;)

Sorry, Morsul. Better luck next time.

Take it away, Nil ...

Thank you, Saucepan the man!
 

Don'tcha worry, Morsul mah man, I'm-a lay it easy on you.

So there's this dude, an' he was, like, just waitin' for me, man, y'know what I'm sayin'? So then, I pass him, an' then he started shoutin' like crazy.

Photographic equipment without age is missing, man.

I just, like, say, "Whatevah, dude."

I'll wait for the next one thanks that is utterly weird...

unless...wips out elvish dictionary

kodak=kuduk which is hobbit for hobbit and their age of orign is unknown so theyre ageless and now they are not to be found

Hobbits will be my first and perhaps last guess

I'm sorry, man.
 

But the "photographic equipment" is general, not a specific brand. :)

Beren or Camlost

Camera is lost beren is a man the age is throwing me

and I thought I was sly with kuduk

Yes!!!
 

Camera (photographic equipment) - era (age) + lost (missing) = Camlost, or Beren.

Good job, Morsul! :)

Here's my cryptic clue perhaps to easy but I think it sounds cool

"deep into that darkness peering long I stood there wondering fearing doubting, for 20000 leagues under the sea that Cursed word repeated again and again and I began to wonder would this be my tomb?"

I used a a bit from Edger Allen Poe's the Raven for anyone that actually cares :rolleyes:

OK this is the second puzzle up here that I made and it is the second one that has been ignored.do I make them too hard? :p

I'm looking for a plce...maybe that was confusing If i wanted a place or person

It's a place

I'm not familiar enough with The Raven to know when it leaves off and your clues pick up! That's what's confusing me, although I'll keep trying...

It is part of the clue (and the quote ends at doubting)

Taunts Players come on its not as hard as it looks its long yes but simple

Sorry, Morsul.
 

I'm not learned in the lore of Pôe, so I can't answer.

And I'm already drowned in readings as it is . . .

It doesnt matter that its from poe merely a cool quote and I figured Id let everyone know in case they were curious...

as for the answer it has its own meaning

tralalala did i stump you all? or are you ignoring my? its mainly entirely a strait clue except two things

A hint.
 

So, it is a place. Is it a tomb?
