That it was. Proceed.

Rochelle · 02-27-2003, 01:59 PM

Alrighty here goes...

Unique I am in shape and in size,
The envy I am in anothers eyes.
All around me I see nothing but green,
the tall lonely oak is not all to be seen.
Thankful I am, I was nobody's bane,
yet after they left, the enviers came!

I think it's fairly simple *lol*

This makes me think of the Sackville-Bagginses and their uncanny desire for Bag-End.

Quote:

yet after they left, the enviers came!

After Frodo left, Lobelia got the hole.
I say it's Bag-End.

Rochelle · 02-27-2003, 08:38 PM

Bag-End it is! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 02-28-2003, 12:27 PM

By the hands of the hired
Was I wrought from the rock
A great wealth was payed
But much more was sought
Sorrow was the result
Of the hairy ones greed
The desire of a prize
Caused many to bleed
Of all that had lived
In this place once held dear
The greatest of all
Was a beast mortals feared

yikes! Guess this will be a speed round! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 02-28-2003, 12:34 PM

Khazad-dûm, I presume. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 02-28-2003, 01:15 PM

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Where is the dunce cap? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Sorry, I just got excited for a second there - it won't happen again, scout's honor...

Turambar · 02-28-2003, 01:27 PM

Nargothrond?

Tar-Palantir · 02-28-2003, 06:09 PM

Yes, oh Master of Doom, you are correct. You should know, you are the one who slew the filthy beast! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Pity about your sister though... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

proceed.

River that flows from the home of "the oldest living thing that still walks beneath the Sun", past the scene of a famous battle.

Annunfuiniel · 03-05-2003, 10:07 AM

River Limlight/Limlaith, it flowed from Fangorn forest where the ents still dwelled and passed the Field of Celebrant.

Turambar · 03-05-2003, 10:23 AM

Correct, Annunfuiniel.

P.s. I like your avatar.

Annunfuiniel · 03-05-2003, 12:17 PM

Yey! Ok, here's your new puzzle:

I'm all alone, aloof
my companions long gone
my name stands as proof
that changes have been done.

Oh, and thank you Turambar for your compliment! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Yours is great too, somehow authentic...

Estanesse · 03-05-2003, 01:42 PM

I'm not sure, but is it Lothlorien

I'm all alone, aloof
my companions long gone- in the fourth age the galadrim no longer life in Lothlorien

my name stands as proof
that changes have been done. - The first name of the golden wood was Laurelindorenan
In later days the elves make the name shorter, calling it Lothlorien
[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-05-2003, 02:21 PM

Well, that seems to fit! But sorry, it ain't the answer I'm looking for. Keep on trying pals! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 03-05-2003, 04:25 PM

Mirkwood?

Tar-Palantir · 03-05-2003, 05:42 PM

The Old Forest.

Why are we all guessing of the woods? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-06-2003, 12:03 AM

Yep, stop guessing woods 'cause it ain't one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rochelle · 03-06-2003, 08:11 AM

Hmmm...perhaps Isengard?

Lord Elessar · 03-06-2003, 12:24 PM

well if you have a look at the name i would think it must be Lonely Mountains

Tar-Palantir · 03-06-2003, 01:08 PM

Tol Eressëa

The Last Homely House

New Row (Bag-End)

Amon Rûdh

Amon Sûl

Aylwen Dreamsong · 03-06-2003, 05:35 PM

Meneltarma?

Annunfuiniel · 03-07-2003, 01:17 AM

All wrong! Hmm, maybe I have been too vague...
But Aylwen, getting close!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-09-2003, 12:31 PM

The Sundering Seas.

Rochelle · 03-09-2003, 12:36 PM

Minas Morgal/Ithil?

Annunfuiniel · 03-09-2003, 01:58 PM

No and no.
Hint: this place is surrounded by Ulmo's element.
No trick here, I just want this thing to move on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-09-2003, 02:16 PM

It is a hard one Annunfuiniel!
Is it Númenor? I can’t fit it with your verse, but it’s close to Meneltarma [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ October 12, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

Rochelle · 03-09-2003, 02:18 PM

Hmm..perhaps an island? Númenor ?

Tar-Palantir · 03-09-2003, 02:34 PM

Tol Sirion - because that is where the old Minas Tirith was built?

Annunfuiniel · 03-09-2003, 02:56 PM

You are half way there! Yes, it's an island but no it's not Númenor.
Last hint: the place isn't what it used to be but something else has changed too...

Rochelle · 03-09-2003, 03:14 PM

This is definatly a tricky riddle *lol*

I'm going to go with Almaren.

Annunfuiniel · 03-11-2003, 01:55 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] You really don't have to go that far back in time! And it's something that still exists, look at the maps and you'll find it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-11-2003, 03:03 PM

Himling, used to be Himring - which means changes have been done

Annunfuiniel · 03-11-2003, 03:14 PM

Well hooray, we have the winner! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Makes sense now does it? Himling stands quite alone surrounded by the sea, those "companions" that are gone are the other hills and mountains that were lost in the sea and T-P got the name and change part right.
So the stage is all yours, Tar Palantir! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-11-2003, 07:03 PM

Okely, dokely... I chopped up the Lizard King to make this one interesting for you, helps to sing it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

House upon the hill

Evil lying still

Shadows of the peaks

Witnessing the wild breeze

C'mon baby hide with me

Let's hide

The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill

Rich are the rooms and the beauty there

Strong are the arms and the family fair

And you won't know a thing till you get inside

Salix · 03-11-2003, 07:41 PM

Strange, makes me think of Moria.

elven maiden Earwen · 03-11-2003, 07:57 PM

Edoras

Pallando B.C · 03-12-2003, 02:48 AM

Ilmarin maybe?

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 02:55 AM

Or Gondolin?
