[Manveru]

(great riddle, Arv)

 

[Aulë]

Nose of a hound
Poison for an orc
Eyes of a hawk
And great knowledge of all growing things

Who am I?




(I didn't make this up myself- found it in a book)

 

[Manveru]

mr. gollum?

 

[Aulë]

mr. gollum?

Nope.
This isn't nessesarily an individual....

 

[Manveru]

hmm... well then...
Elves have sharp eyes, love all growing things and... aren't fond of orcs, but that about their noses... hmm... and closer?

 

[Aulë]

No- not Elves.
And going by species- you're getting further away.

no more shots then... taking the above quote into consideration, i haven't touched T-books for about six months...

It's not from a Tolkien book. It's from a riddle book.

 

[Manveru]

oh, yeah?! grrr... and it doesn't rhyme i'm out

Who am I?

QUOTE]Crumbs! Beorn? Though 'Nose of a bear' would be his 1st line.

'great knowledge of all growing things' is a stumper. I can't think of anyone who fits that category except perhaps Tom Bombadil, but the other bits don't match.

Hmmmm. (thinks...)

Hmmmm. (thinks...)

Nope, both guesses are wrong.

 

[Maeglin]

Ghan buri Ghan?

 

[Aulë]

Close.

But remember that I'm not looking for an individual....

 

[BlackCaptain]

The River Anduin?

 

[Maeglin]

I don't think the river is a who.
Well, if its not an individual...is it maybe just the wild men of the woods in general?

 

[Aulë]

Yep- Wild Men/Drúedain was what I was looking for.

Your go Maeglin/Glorfy!

 

[Maeglin]

Okay, I'm not very good at this, but here goes:

My father never would approve
of the things that I had done
I went out, and gazed upon the One

although he didn't care
I went out and fought many battles for him
even though he didn't notice
I did all for him.

Who am I?

 

[greypilgrim]

Faramir of Gondor

 

[Maeglin]

nope. I knew that would be the first guess.
