Hey! Good to see you back Turambar. How ya doin'?

But I am afraid that I must demand of you an explanation for your answer.

Turambar · 10-26-2004, 05:35 PM

Well I tried to post a picture of a seagull but that doesn't work on BD. And M (besides being a decent old movie) is the Roman numeral corresponding to 1,000.

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-26-2004, 07:27 PM

That'll do for me.

All yours ...

Magic risers about the swift ones' home.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-15-2004, 11:28 PM

Hint, please?

"About" = scramble pointer; "swift ones" = swift fliers.

E: And "risers" might be considered a bit of a stright clue, in addition to being part of the anagram ("magic risers").

The answer is Crissaegrim.

An anagram of "magic risers", and home to Thorondor, King of the Eagles, and his kin.
