Something like Rhudaur?

They owned Rhudaur?

No, no, something more material.

Well, that's the first thing that occured to me

Hey, so what if... wasn't it some sort of cordial, they all had it? The miruvor of the Elves of Rivendell, the liquor of the Orcs, and a Dúnadan cordial - possibly remnant of the one used by Númenoreans?

I am not really sure if this is the right answer, I would probably need to give it a bit more thought.

Indeed.

You're good, Legate!
*is awed*

Legate of Amon Lanc · 08-25-2009, 02:09 PM

Actually, I am awed myself

I did not expect that much, it was just a thing that occured to me. But a very nice riddle, TM, indeed! (And thanks, Nerwen !

)

But, okay, so what about these folks - let's try Frodo Baggins and... Nienor Níniel. What do they have in common?

Running naked?
Frodo hopping around with his friends after escape from the barrow, Nienor running away from both Orcs and her Elven companions to Haudh-en-Elleth.

(P.S. I'm awed, too! And Might, that was really clever.)
