Terrible curse makes me think of Noldor... Still, oldest and strongest... Treebeard?

Hmm....it was Maedhros but I realised the same thing could apply to Feanor too, so it would be awfully pedantic for me to deny you the thread....*evil grin*. You're up .

Another riddle, yes.

The greatest challenge
By the high king of noldor
Against a dark king


I know it's too easy, but I'm tired.

Sorry for the slow response, forgot about this thread:

Ok for this you'll also have to say the situation.

Beheld the land of Arda,
So they looked around.

Nope.
Hint: check LOTR. The persons in questions are likened to the 'first Elves awaking...'

I'm sorry if i'm such a failure but I lent out my copy of LOTR to a friend, so I'm guessing now.

Oh my gosh I finally got it! Took me long enough... you know the ironic thing about that is that was one of my first guesses but I didn't think it was right so I didn't put it! Hmmm... that means I have to write a haiku...

Shining as sunlight,
and with the light of the stars,
now kept in the deep

Hope it's not too confusing!

Silmaril I've got it...

I know it, and I didn't think it was too confusing.

It's the Arkenstone

"It was like a globe with a thousand faces; it shone like silver in the firelight, like water in the sun, like snow under the stars, like rain upon the Moon!" (The Hobbit, Chapter XII Inside Information)

so it is "Shining as sunlight,/and with the light of the stars,"
and

"They buried Thorin deep beneath the Mountain, and Bard laid the Arkenstone upon his breast." (The Hobbit, Chapter XVIII The Return Journey)

so that it's "now kept in the deep"

hmm...I guess this means I've got to come up with a Haiku...give me a day or so, I'll have one by then.

Many Thanks.

hmm..

On second thought I guess it was rather hasty to assume I'm right. Sorry about that, it just seemed so clear that doubt (and common sense) couldn't make themselves heared over "Eurika!".

I apologise for assuming myself correct, and I'll wait for you to respond.


Many Thanks

Alrighty then...

Thanks.

Well...keeping with the string of potentially confusing Haikus, I feel this one to be a bit criptic...the only clue I feel I should give is that a lot of the phrases come straight from the book.

Gnawed, maimed, mocked are you
By the violent maggot-folk
As day sinks you rise

Good Luck!

hello...*echo* 'ello...*echo* 'lo...

It's been almost five days and no more guesses.

Do you guys want a clue? Because if you want one just ask, I'll gladly give you it.

A red sun rises...

The Sun? That's probably not it though, so I asks for a hint. And if that isn't nice enough I begs.

A hint

No need to beg, but it makes me feel powerful

Alright for I hint I'll tell you that it A) the first two lines refer to an object B) the third line refers to an event (yes you probably could guess this...but still) and C) both are known/associated with a place

It may not help a lot...but the three (object, event, place) are so usually spoken of as one that they're almost indistinguishable from each other...so if you hear the place name you'll probably immediately think of the object and event and likewise should you hear of the object or event.

1420!

Perhaps this:

The old king statue, its severed head crowned with flowers . . .

Quote:
Standing there for a moment filled with dread Frodo became aware that a light was shining; he saw it glowing on Sam's face beside him. Turning towards it, he saw, beyond an arch of boughs, the road to Osgiliath running almost as straight, as a stretched ribbon down, down, into the West. There, far away beyond sad Gondor now overwhelmed in shade, the Sun was sinking, finding at last the hem of the great slow-rolling pall of cloud, and falling in an ominous fire towards the yet unsullied sea. The brief glow fell upon a huge sitting figure, still and solemn as the great stone kings at Argonath. The years had gnawed it, and violent hands had maimed it. Its head was gone, and in its place was set in mockery a round, rough-hewn stone, rudely painted by savage hands in the likeness of a grinning face with one large red eye in the midst of its forehead. Upon its knees and mighty chair, and all about the pedestal, were idle scrawls mixed with the foul symbols that the maggot-folk of Mordor used.

Suddenly, caught by the level beams, Frodo saw the old king's head: it was lying rolled away by the roadside. 'Look, Sam!' he cried, startled into speech. 'Look! The king has got a crown again!'
