The ear.

Nay, but very intelligent look on the riddle.

The horn of Boromir.

Another answer that could fit is a sound wave. When plotted on a 2d cartesian graph or in 3d modelling it creates a cave yet the frequency itself is the shell that carries or represents the sound.

In the Silmarillion Appendix, it states that ëar means "sea", which is where we find sea shells 🐚🌊

Interesting! While I do not doubt the veracity of your statement, this is not the answer I am looking for to the riddle.

Periling another guess, how about.... the mouth of Sauron.

If not, I would ask a clue, in which of Tolkien's books is this answer mentioned, or is the answer something irl?

The riddle is not in any way related to Tolkien's world. However, (and here is another hint): It too is from something fantastical.

Nay but good guess.

Okay, long time in coming, but here's my riddle (as I answered the riddle to Eljorahir's first question):

There is a cave, which makes no sound, and a shell, which carries the sound. What is this?

Spoiler: hints

The cave is representative of a being. It is from something fantastical.

Is it a genie's lamp?

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

Is it a genie's lamp?

Nay, it is not.

I've been notified it's time for another hint... The riddle refers to something from Disney.[/SPOILER]

Is it Ariel losing her voice, and the shell Ursula used to contain said voice?

This is correct! Congratulations, gwanunig nîn! 🎉
It is your turn!

Yay! 🎉

…Can I relinquish my turn to someone else? I’m horrible with creating riddles. 😅

Indeed you may. I was thinking my riddle was going to be dead forever... And it wasn't even I who created it! 😂

Good! You hear that, people? Next turn’s up for grabs!! 😂

Hehe, when you mentioned it had to do with Disney, my mind immediately picked up on the “shell that carries sound” part, knowing it to be from The Little Mermaid. Good riddle! (Our other games have been rather stagnant too, lately…)

Here's a riddle:

Denethor called three of his servants to the great hall. Denethor blindfolded each servant, and then placed a hat on each servant's head. Denethor said truthfully to the servants, "You are wearing either a white hat or a blue hat, but at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. When you remove your blindfolds you will not be able to see your own hat, but you will see the hats of your two fellow servants. The first servant who can step forward and announce the correct color of his own hat, and the logical reason for how he determined the color, shall be a freeman. If you choose not to answer, you will remain my bondservant. But if you simply guess your answer or state your logic incorrectly, I will decapitate you. Now please remove your blindfolds." The three servants removed their blindfolds and looked at one another, but none stepped forward as none of them knew the answer immediately. The servant in the middle, whose name was Peregrin, saw that the other two servants were both wearing blue hats. He pondered this for a few minutes and then stepped forward to correctly announce the color of his own hat, and the correct logic for his decision. What did Peregrin say to Denethor?
