More Riddles in the Dark

[Manveru]

My beauty was of great fame
That's what they said.
Due to 'fangs and flame'
All my bros got dead.

 

[Aulë]

Galadriel?

(Finrod and Orodreth killed by Werewolves)
(Aegnor and Angrod killed in the Dagor Bragollach)

 

[Manveru]

It is Lady G.

BTW: wasn't Orodreth killed in the sack of Nargothrond... when Glaurung (both 'fangs and flame')was having fun?

whatever... you're right and you're up, Aule.

 

[Aulë]

Whoops- yep, you're right.



The last of my kind,
But I am yet half.
Food I went out to find,
Before I sent the doomed one on his path.

 

[Gandalf The Grey]

Mîm the Petty Dwarf.

 

[Aulë]

Correct. Your go.

 

[Gandalf The Grey]

Thanks Aulë ... will think up a riddle after I get back from church today.

 

[Gandalf The Grey]

And now, without further ado ... silly or not, here it comes!

My first half inside a round oven is planted
Growing gold without sunlight until scent is granted
My second half with the first, Halflings will take
So "half" it and eat it too, fresh-baked __________ !

 

[Eledhwen]

Cake!

Bilbo's speciality.

 

[Gandalf The Grey]

I'll accept your answer since you mention Bilbo, Eledhwen ...

... for indeed it was he who was noted for that particular sort of cake known as "seedcake!"

Awaiting your riddle,

Gandalf the Grey

 

[Eledhwen]

This one is a bit easy, so I want the person and the place.

Half height pigsfoot was my early form.
I watched a hilltop battle storm
Where met we foes of terror and death
Who were cowed by the name of Elbereth.


Edit: I shall be away from the internet over the Easter weekend. There's only one character to fit this (If you haven't read HoME, try to get it without the first line).

 

[Manveru]

hmm... a little clash at weathertop... gandalf "dancing" around black sheets? but who watched it?
(is it plain enough that i haven't read "history..."? )

c'mon... i'm sure somebody read that somewhere...

 

[Ambartur]

Wow, I haven't been to this thread in forever...

My guess would be the hobbits, or more specifically Frodo, looking at Gandalf's battle with the Nazgul atop Weathertop, then being attacked themselves on Weathertop.

 

[Gothmog]

Aragorn aka Strider. (His charater started out as a Hobbit called Trotter)
He watched the fight on Weathertop between Gandalf and the Nazgul from the Midgewater Marshes and later, with the Hobbits, met the Nazgul in the dell below the ruins of Amon Sul.

Is that correct, and enough?

 

[Manveru]

enough for me to see i'm a little (just 12 volumes of HoMe + some UT; not so far really ) behind

Absolutely correct. Your go.

 

[Gothmog]

Ok. I'll give it a go.

To reflect on the future
Is my purpose to be
I'll show you much
But what may you see?
As a guide I am dangerous!
Should you listen to me?

 

[Manveru]

Galadriel's Mirror?

 

[Gothmog]

Even quicker than I expected.

Yes. Your go.

 

[Manveru]

taking into consideration that i'll be offline for nearly whole week (and having nothing in mind to post as a riddle, anyway), i'll give a go to whoever wants it...

first come, first served

have fun
