Well, its in the valley of Azanuilbizar. Is that what you want. The only body of water I see there is Kheled-zaram, and can't quite tell, but it looks like the Silverlode flows out of it.

Ok, I'll re-phrase it a bit more:

What was the name given to the icy-cold source of the river Silverlode.

Hint: It rises from a natural well in the Vale of Azanulbizar.

Sorry, my attempt at a little humor... I did say I was goin to give a tough one though! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ok, how about a little riddle thrown in?

I have been stepped on in the past
but truly conquered never
Tis not my protectors
far hearing and far sight
That keep the intrepid yonder
The roaring voice around me keeps most from the test
And men of the past do all of the rest

Where/What am I? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Soooooo close, Lindolirian. I can see my minor flaw, but have changed the wording so as not confuse - try again!

And for fun, can you name all the elements?

I was heavily considering submitting Rauros myself! Hmm...perhaps its Emyn Muil?

I have been stepped on in the past
{It has been a pathway...}
but truly conquered never
{No true paths have been made...}
Tis not my protectors
far hearing and far sight
That keep the intrepid yonder
The roaring voice around me keeps most from the test
{Rauros...}
And men of the past do all of the rest
{The dead marshes...}

I have never been stepped on in the past
(No one has ever set foot on Tol Brandir)
but truly conquered never
Tis not my protectors
far hearing and far sight
(Amon Hen and Lhaw)
That keep the intrepid yonder
The roaring voice around me keeps most from the test
Rauros)
And men of the past do all of the rest
(Dead Marshes)


I'm guessing Tol Brandir because no one has set foot upon it, and the roaring voice of Rauros is around it, and Amon Hen and Amon Lhaw are on either side. It also has a good view of the Dead Marshes.

It was that "My roaring voice" that made me think Rauros last time, but now the change makes me certain its Tol Brandir.

Very good Lindolirian! Your turn.

But you missed two clues:

I have been stepped on in the past
but truly conquered never

- men have walked on Tol Brandir, but the summit has never been reached, too steep

And men of the past do all of the rest
- the Argonath

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*

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]
