Finwe · 01-23-2004, 11:51 AM

Could it be Pippin?

Gandalf was described as a steward, and Pippin is definitely his friend.
Pippin was indeed an extraordinary man (another definition of "prince") and was called Ernil i Pheriannath ("Prince of the Halflings") in Gondor, effectively making him a "Prince."
He was definitely mixed up in the War of the Rings.
He was also swift and bold in rescuing Faramir and realizing that he would have to defy the orders of Denethor to do so.

Celegorm · 01-23-2004, 12:49 PM

Since Finwe said, Gandalf was described as a steward, I got a new idea:

Shadowfax!?
He is a friend of Gandalf and "belongs" to Theoden. He is a heir of the great Horses of old.

symestreem · 01-24-2004, 01:09 PM

Finwe is correct. It is Pippin; the "swift" part was actually a play on the word Peregrin, since the peregrine falcon is swift indeed.

Finwe · 01-24-2004, 09:15 PM

Ha, ok.

Old am I,
An enigma am I,
Oldest,
Without a parent,
Yet light-hearted am I,
and singer am I.

Samwise · 01-24-2004, 09:37 PM

Tom Bombadil?

Eorl of Rohan · 01-27-2004, 08:37 PM

Yeah, either Tom Bombadil or Treebeard, though since he sings it's Bombadil by my opinion

Finwe · 01-27-2004, 08:46 PM

Samwise got it. Tom Bombadil it is.

Samwise · 01-27-2004, 11:10 PM

Really?? Okay, a new riddle....hm...

One of thirteen,
surprising, the locks
one of a key to a future
that many may believe has ceased.

Eeep...hope this is right....

Eorl of Rohan · 01-27-2004, 11:15 PM

I was too late on the last easy puzzle, but I'll get this one, by Illuvatar!

Eorl of Rohan · 01-27-2004, 11:16 PM

thirteen, thirteen, what does that remind me of? The number of dwarves who went with Bilbo, if I recall Hobbit? And there was this map and key of Thorin.

I don't have much hope on this one, but is it Thorin?

One of thirteen,
surprising, the locks
one of a key to a future

Nope....

Eorl of Rohan · 01-27-2004, 11:27 PM

I knew it. Can you at least tell us where it is from? What book? Becuase I'm going to have no idea if it's from lays of Bereliland

Samwise · 01-27-2004, 11:30 PM

Well, this should make it easy, but I can never think of hard things...it's from Return of the King.

Eorl of Rohan · 01-27-2004, 11:33 PM

locks - that brings only two things to my mind. Galadriel's locks of hair - and the paths of the dead, where there is a locked door that someone could not unlock.

Am I just stupid or am I ignorant? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Probably both.

[ 12:35 AM January 28, 2004: Message edited by: Eorl of Rohan ]

Samwise · 01-27-2004, 11:36 PM

Mmm...no, but the person is female.

I have to get off, but I'll be back on tomorrow. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Eorl of Rohan · 01-27-2004, 11:39 PM

That settles it. There are only very few female characters of note -

Eowyn, Arwen Evenstar, Ioreth the healer...

It must be Eowyn. It must be. But why?

01-28-2004, 01:55 AM

Must Be Eowyn? Why? Is there anything in her with "13" on it?

Eorl of Rohan · 01-28-2004, 02:08 AM

The problem is the the first two lines I cannot understand, and last two lines cane be either eowyn and Ioreth.

Eowyn, becuase it is foltold that no man would kill the witch king and she did. And also.

Ioreth, who said that The hand of a king is a hand of a healer and so the rightful heir will be known.

What beats me is the word thirteen.

Evisse the Blue · 01-28-2004, 07:34 AM

My guess would be Goldilocks, Sam and Rosie's daughter.

One of thirteen, - Sam and Rosie had 13 children
surprising, the locks - the fact that she had golden locks was a surprise to hobbits
one of a key to a future
that many may believe has ceased - hint to the fact that hobbits still exist, but are very good at hiding from the Big Folk? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 01-28-2004, 07:59 AM

Too me its Beren, Warden of the keys

One of thirteen,-the first Beren, which was where he took hsi name from was with his father and other men as "outlaws" or dorthonion
surprising, the locks-warden of the keys
one of a key to a future-gaves keys to saruman
that many may believe has ceased.-saruman was no longed ally?

i have a strange feeling that this Beren was a female

Samwise · 01-28-2004, 08:05 AM

I'll have to ask you to bear with me for a couple of days, till I think of the next one: it's exam period for me; but I won't let that get in the way of coming up with a new riddle asap! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Evisse the Blue · 01-31-2004, 05:03 AM

He sought to wrench away my precious treasure
I sent him to his doom: measure for measure.
he lost yet won,
I gained naught, yet gave in
Pride and anger brought about my end
The ones most dear to me I lost
But this time to a friend.

Eorl of Rohan · 01-31-2004, 05:10 AM

Deagol first came to my mind, who found the ring and lost it to a friend, but then pride and anger does not fit.

Maybe precious treasure is a silmaril or Naugrafarig, not the one ring? I'd have to think about this one.

Precious ONES... MAybe it signifies Feanor? But then, Morgoth Bauglir was his greatest enemy, so the last line doesn't fit.

Thorongil · 01-31-2004, 05:22 AM

Maybe it was Thingol.

Beren wanted Luthien, his precious treasure.
He sent Beren to Angband
Beren lost his arm, but won Luthien
And his pride and anger made the Dwarves kill him.

I can't get the rest to fit in.

[ 6:26 AM January 31, 2004: Message edited by: Thorongil ]

Gil-Galad · 01-31-2004, 11:07 AM

Denethor II, steward of gondor? maybe?

Evisse the Blue · 02-03-2004, 08:28 AM

Thingol it was.

Quote:

. try it! not that hard at all - you got most of it already! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thorongil · 02-06-2004, 03:33 AM

I still can't get it to fit, but here is the next one:

I have a bad reputation
And a hurting nose,
I'm not very friendly,
especially not with the husband of Rose.

Who am I?

Shouldn't be too difficult.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-06-2004, 06:54 AM

It is Bill Ferny.
Sam hit him on the nose with an apple when the hobbits left Bree with Strider. Bill was a mean hombre

Thorongil · 02-06-2004, 07:09 AM

Yes, you couldn't exactly call him Mr. Nice guy...

YOur turn Luthien.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-06-2004, 07:13 AM

This is probably pretty easy...but I'm still rubbing the sleep out of my eyes [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Taking leave of elves
Four instead of two
Heavily burdened
Yet, I'm not depressed
Who Am I?

Elentarimir · 02-06-2004, 09:31 AM

Is it Frodo?

Taking leave of elves - Leaving Rivendell

Four instead of two - Merry and Pippin coming too, instead of just him and Sam?

Heavily burdened - He carries the weight of the ring.

Yet, I'm not depressed - He's happy to have his friends with him?

Arestevana · 02-06-2004, 09:44 AM

I will guess Bill the pony:

Taking leave of elves- he left Rivendell with the fellowship
Four instead of two- He has four legs instead of two
Heavily burdened
Yet, I'm not depressed-

Quote:

So Bill was going as the beast of burden, yet he was the only member of the Company who did not seem depressed.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-06-2004, 05:07 PM

You are correct, Arestevana [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

There were many servants of Aulë, but I think you mean Sauron

Amathoronion · 12-06-2002, 07:31 PM

correct since none of the orther servents of Aule where major charctors Sauron would be right.Your turn

Tower of Moon and Shadow · 12-06-2002, 07:34 PM

I may be wrong but i belive that Sauron is a servant of Melekor [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 12-06-2002, 07:51 PM

He was a servant of Melkor, but his original master was Aulë.

Anyway here is mine:

I originated in Dor-lomin, my father was imprisoned in the 'Iron Prison', i married my sister, and I mistakenly killed a great compainion of mine

I am...
