Riddles in the Downs

[Galadriel55]

No, once again. I would have accepted Rath Dinen if the actual object was the answer. As it happens, it is not. The answer, however, is right beside it.

Mith, House of Stewards is somewhat of a stretch, but you are looking for something that sits beside Rath Dinen. Not really a dweller, but something that is very close to it also.

I am leaving for 2 weeks in roughly 25 hours, so here is a HUGE clue:

It is right beside Rath Dinen. It lets you inside. What lets you inside?

The hallows and the single man is the porter at Fen Hollen

she's gone for two weeks. Do you want to do a riddle, or shall I?

As far as I see this, it was a riddle we pegged with shared contribution. I'd like to write one if you don't.

Kind Regards

It would be courteous to get confirmation first. Or at least wait for the 25 hrs. Are up. For myself I am not so confident it is solved.

[Mithalwen]

But in theory I am happy for you to take the turn.

Finally! That is correct. Fen Hollen is the answer. Here's some more detailed explanation:

Where she dwells with silence - next to Rath Dinen
A single man abides. - the porter
Though she's no great hostess - no parties there for you, duh
She will let you inside.

You are a man of stature,
You are among the best, - one of the Stewarts (or Kings before that)
And here, inside her kingdom,
You will lie down to rest. - die.

Unless you be her servant,
Her soldier or her slave, - the guards or cleaning party
She will not let you exit
To see the world again. - nope, you die there and stay there.


It's Mith's turn now (and no, Ivriniel, a riddle isn't solved until it's declared so by the riddle-maker - but you're right, it was a group effort). If she so chooses, she can pass the turn, though - but that's up to her.

Since I have a busy week and to encourage new participants, Ivriniel may take the turn. Have a good trip Galadriel.

[Ivriniel]

Mith, I'll post one. Are you going to pop in to check it out?

[Mithalwen]

Of course but don't panic if you don't get an instant reaction. Internet may be a few minutes a lunchtime only this week.
