Yep, that was an easy one.

Reading back over this thread, I notice that it came rather close to being shut down. I think maybe we should stick to riddles that follow a certain rhyming style, like in the book. I hadn't read that when I posted mine. Anyways, I think we should return to the point as soon as possible and try to make this thread be as Tolkien-related as possible, or I fear it will be cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.

Moving on, Gothmog, you're up!

I hope this one is close enough to the LotR-riddles. Though I must admit that I didn't come up with this right now, my fantasy is for the moment somewhat limited...

No legs have I to dance,
No lungs have I to breathe,
No life have I to live or die
And yet I do all three.
What am I?

Close Aragorn, but it's Enquaza that got the right answer. Well done!

Yay my first right answer ok.

I am the beginning of sorrow,

The end of sickness.

You cannot express hapiness without me,

yet I am in the midst of crosses.

I am always in risk,

yet never in danger.

You may find me in the sun,

yet I am never out of darkness.

Who am I?


I coudent think of anything more Tolkein related than that.
