No, no no and no..... but you´re thinking in the right direction, exept for Tigerlilly, that is.

the phantom · 02-25-2003, 12:07 PM

how about words, or speech

Manardariel · 02-25-2003, 12:49 PM

Closer.....

the phantom · 02-25-2003, 12:55 PM

song?

the real nazgul · 02-25-2003, 04:33 PM

i would post a riddle-if any of them were not already known [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sindafalathiel · 02-25-2003, 06:23 PM

Poetry?

Quote:

Powerfull without a sword
Caressing and sweet without a hand
thin air filled with life
and magic fills the land

Poetry can move you powerfully, making you see the world in a new light.
Poetry is often written to a boyfriend/girlfriend.
When poetry is spoken, it seems to fill everything with sadness, or happiness, greif, or anger, whatever the poem is about.
Poetry can tell a story of a magical place.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 02-25-2003, 06:53 PM

A rhyme?

Manardariel · 02-26-2003, 09:51 AM

the phantom, I´ll give it to you. I was looking for music, but song is fine as well.

the phantom · 02-26-2003, 10:13 AM

Thank you. You are much too kind! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Look in the North, and you will see me,
Go to my left hand and you will find the sea
On my right hand over river and mountains
You'll see the green vale with the musical fountains

Where am I?

Garen LiLorian · 02-27-2003, 11:06 PM

The Havens? Only works if the Shire has "musical fountains"...

Samwise · 02-27-2003, 11:10 PM

Mirkwood? (as usual, no idea...)

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 02-27-2003, 11:11 PM

Valinor? Don't laugh at me, I'm horrible at geography but...Lorien?

Annunfuiniel · 02-28-2003, 08:05 AM

This one is quite confusing. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
But are you in Bree (or somewhere around there [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) or in Swanfleet??
Hey, had to try something! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

the phantom · 02-28-2003, 01:02 PM

Nobody found me yet, but Garen LiLorian is close with "the havens" and Lady_Bain is close with "Angband".

(my most specific directions are to the musical fountains, so once you know where the musical fountains are, you should be able to get it)

[ February 28, 2003: Message edited by: the phantom ]

Annunfuiniel · 02-28-2003, 03:08 PM

You might be in Nargothrond (exept you can't for it's forever gone)... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 02-28-2003, 05:20 PM

Hmm.....Gondolin?

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-28-2003, 07:48 PM

Dor-Lomin?

It is in the north, has the sea to the west, and to the east, over the mountains and the river Sirion, Gondolin.

the phantom · 02-28-2003, 08:24 PM

The Saucepan Man has it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Go right ahead.

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-28-2003, 09:43 PM

Uh-oh. My first attempt at a riddle ...

The foundation of castles
Where darkening hordes lie
I give joy to young minds
As I mark time going by

What am I?

Samwise · 02-28-2003, 10:40 PM

Um. Imagination?

#3 Bagshot Row

Manardariel · 03-01-2003, 11:09 AM

"The old tales"?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-02-2003, 07:53 PM

Nope. Neither of those. It is something more tangible.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 03-02-2003, 08:04 PM

books? Records of history?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 03-02-2003, 10:07 PM

the Red Book of Westmarch?

Manardariel · 03-03-2003, 04:01 AM

I keep thinking it´s a building.. maybe Isengard?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-03-2003, 08:32 PM

No. It's not specifically LotR related.

Samwise · 03-03-2003, 09:30 PM

A library?

Lady_Báin · 03-06-2003, 06:17 AM

the halls of record at gondor?? way of i know but that is a toughy.

aragornreborn · 03-06-2003, 12:53 PM

It's not simply the earth is it?

It gives joy to my mind! And castles sit on it! By the way, if by some miracle I'm right, do I HAVE to think of a riddle?

WarBringer · 03-06-2003, 04:46 PM

i also think its the earth itself...

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-07-2003, 09:46 AM

WarBringer and aragornreborn - you are soooooooooo very close ...

... but no cigar! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Manardariel · 03-07-2003, 01:00 PM

Middle-Earth
The Stars
The Universe
Soil
I can´t decide... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-07-2003, 02:32 PM

I just need to say Rock! There, now I've said it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-07-2003, 06:23 PM

Soil ... Rock ...

Both very close.

Here's a clue - each line describes something that this is used for ...

Samwise · 03-07-2003, 08:48 PM

A mountain?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 03-07-2003, 10:30 PM

a mine?

lord of dor-lomin · 03-08-2003, 12:17 AM

grass?

the phantom · 03-08-2003, 12:23 AM

TheBladeThatWasBroken · 03-08-2003, 08:36 PM
