I would say Gondolin, too.

"evil lying still" - could refere to Maeglin

"and you won´t know a thing till you get inside"
- this one fits very good into the context of Gondolin

Or Gondolin?

Yes Annunfuiniel! Tis indeed Gondolin, I had one more verse that was perfect, but I didn't want to make it *too* easy.

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 02:25 PM

Oh gosh, that means it's my turn again! Yeah, it's [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] but still [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] , if you know what I mean. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Yep, here we go:

A land that once was
but isn't any more
and once it bore, alas
the ones that live in lore
and in legends as well
for their fates changed
and so these two could dwell
this land 'til things arranged
and they bid world farewell

There, have fun!

Turambar · 03-12-2003, 03:12 PM

Well Numenor is the obvious guess.

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 03:20 PM

Haha, maybe so but it's not the right answer! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-12-2003, 03:42 PM

Beleriand

Annunfuiniel · 03-15-2003, 05:48 AM

No right answer yet. Hmm, think on a bit smaller scale...

elven maiden Earwen · 03-15-2003, 04:17 PM

i dont no Rivendell or Lothlorien

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 01:25 AM

No, though they fit too quite nicely - exept for the last line, Valinor is still in the world, isn't it? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-16-2003, 02:49 AM

I am now feeling silly even saying it [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] - but I will, is it Aman?

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 03:56 AM

No, it's not Aman either, but no need to feel silly. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I altered one line slightly to make it more specific. Hope that helps! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 06:28 AM

Are those two Beren and Luthien
If so my answer would be Tol Galen

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 06:41 AM

You found it, Estanesse, well done! (Dor Firn-i-Guinar was the name of Tol Galen while Beren and Luthien dwelled there.) Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 11:10 AM

Ok,thank you. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Here comes my little riddle

I am were it is cold
Taller then tree
Misty all around
The ones I harbour
Are filled with hate

[ March 16, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

Eruanna · 03-16-2003, 11:46 AM

The Misty Mountains?
Or maybe Caradhras?

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 11:59 AM

Or Thangorodrim?

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 12:49 PM

No and no [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 03-16-2003, 01:31 PM

i was thinking of the barrow downs but they arnt taller than trees right?

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 03:30 PM

No don't think they are taller the threes
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 03-16-2003, 03:41 PM

Orthanc?
Barad-dur? I'm thinking tall [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 03:49 PM

you think tall, but not tall enough [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-16-2003, 03:54 PM

Carn Dûm - high, cold, filled with hate, "Misty".

[ March 16, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 03:56 PM

Nope but you’re getting warmer

Eruanna · 03-16-2003, 04:03 PM

Angband?

Tar-Palantir · 03-16-2003, 04:04 PM

Cloudyhead? The name fits well, and harbors Khazad-dûm.

Maybe the High Pass above Rivendell - where the Dwarves and Bilbo got captured. It is "Misty" all around.

[ March 16, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-16-2003, 06:49 PM

Mount Gundabad?

It's in the north, and therefore cold, part of the Misty Mountains, and chief stronghold of the hateful Orcs.

Estanesse · 03-17-2003, 03:19 AM

That's right Saucepan Man [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ March 18, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-18-2003, 08:02 AM

A man is called
Missing the head of Arnor
But with the skill of Dwarves

Seven times seven
A seat for the faithful servant
Who drew level with the Master

What place am I?

Rochelle · 03-18-2003, 08:55 PM

Hmmm this is a tough one, but it makes me think of Minas Tirith.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-22-2003, 09:32 PM

I can see what you mean, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Eruanna · 03-24-2003, 06:05 PM

Are you talking about the Citadel,the Tower of Ecthelion above the Court of the Fountain in Gondor?....through the seventh gate of the seventh circle, carven kingly heads in the stone, seat of the stewards....it seems to fit but I'm probably way off!!

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-24-2003, 08:16 PM

No that's not it. You need to look north-west.

Annunfuiniel · 03-25-2003, 01:50 AM

Is it the Shire? "Missing the head of Arnor", does that refer to that the hobbits still waited for the return of the king or just that they didn't resemble the men of Arnor? Anyway, they preferred living underground like dwarves and they dug the Great Smials. And Sam was chosen major of the Shire seven times for seven years at a time.
So, Shire is my guess. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-25-2003, 07:54 AM

Ooooooooh! So close, Annunfuiniel, especially on the seven times seven. Keep going ... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-25-2003, 09:07 AM

Bag-End, Underhill?? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
I don't even know why I'm answering this 'cause in case I miraculously happened to be right I haven't got the time to think of a new one... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-25-2003, 12:16 PM

No, think about the seven times seven.

And the first three lines make up a cryptic clue.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-25-2003, 01:41 PM

Michel Delving?
It fits otherwise but I'm not sure about the " head of Arnor"-thing...(unless it's el- as in Elendil?) Sorry, I'm not feeling so good at the moment (I ate something that my stomach didn't approve), can't think straight... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 03-25-2003, 02:29 PM

I was thinking of Fornost.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-25-2003, 06:28 PM

Michel Delving it is! Well done, Annunfuiniel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

By way of explanation:

A man is called
A man's name: Michael
Missing the head of Arnor
Take away the first letter of Arnor (A): Michel
But with the skill of Dwarves
The skill of Dwarves is Delving

Seven times seven
A seat for the faithful servant
Who drew level with the Master
The Mayor's seat was at Michel Delving. Sam was mayor seven times for seven years each time. Sam was Frodo's faithful servant, but when he became mayor he drew level in status with the Master of Buckland.

Sort of works. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

So, the stage is yours, Annunfuiniel.

Annunfuiniel · 03-26-2003, 03:30 AM

Yes, it truly works now that you explained it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Oh, I have created a strong love-hate-relationship to your little riddles, Saucepan; at the moment the one in the "Who am I?" -thread is making me crazy!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Well, back to business:

I range from evil to evil
and host it as well
but refugees of goodness
and beauty on my both sides

Through my veins
I'm connected to great waters
sources of life
run from my shoulders
but I'm dead and cold

Some I let pass
some I hide
good or evil
I don't mind.
