The Riddle game

[Tilion]

Well thats why I thought you could be half right because Morgoth was the one that lured the evil forces to his call. But everything else goes with the citadel of Utumno. But any how I dont have a riddle and need some time to think one up so we will go head with yours for now and pretend mine was never posted (to be honest it was a pretty bad riddle anyway). And yours has hitten me flat footed but with a bit of research I might get it.

 

[BlackCaptain]

Citadel's cannot lure people, unless it is Minas Morgul. It is never stated that Utumno 'lured' people. It was the lies of Morgoth that lured forces to his cause.

Is it the Ford of Bruinnen?

 

[Gandalf White]

Yep, yep. You're up, BC.

 

[BlackCaptain]

Sharpest, quickest, lightest still
Hundreds upon hundreds I have killed
Fate was wrought, for heirs to the throne
I being their symbol, when destroying bone
Now a new age, after long at rest
I shall once and for all be put to test,
The time is past for games and jest,
And return to glory, oh hope of the west

Pretty weak, and i couldn't use its actual term used in the book somewhere in this poem... Not too easy I hope

 

[Gandalf White]

Don't worry, this isn't easy at all...

Uhhhh.....I'd have to say Narsil, also known as Anduril, but that is merely a shot in the dark.

 

[BlackCaptain]

Ah yes... i knew it was easy. I really gotta work on my poems instead of wingen them

 

[Gandalf White]

A finger of stone
As a finger of doom
Marks the way
To this throngs tomb

Short and easy... It's my bed time.

 

[Manveru]

Is it a hand (I guess it's white) that shows the way to Saruman's stronghold? That one, which Gandalf, Theoden and co. saw on their way to Saruman?

 

[Gandalf White]

Nope.

I may have to revise this poem, as it was several hours past my bedtime and isn't terribly clear. As a hint, though, all I am looking for is what is described in the last line (hence, the italics), the first 3 merely state a landmark, you could say.

 

[Gandalf White]

This should give it away...

Death will not come
Though they have been killed
This tomb is their home
Until the oath is fulfilled

 

[Aulë]

Would that be the Paths of the Dead?

 

[Gandalf White]

Bravo! Pray, post the next stumper...

 

[Aulë]

Protector of the coppice is our fame,
Creation of the giver of fruits,
We take no greater delight when in flame,
Than to crush Orcs with our mighty roots.

 

[Gandalf White]

Ents, perhaps?

 

[Aulë]

Yeah,
What gave it away? the 'roots'?

 

[Gandalf White]

Yeah, the "roots," coupled with the "flame." Then I looked up the word "coppice" and had it.

Ok, been sitting here for 10 minutes, at 2:35 in the morning and can come up with nothing...so....it's now been 20 minutes. Rather hastily put together, but I need sleep.

I delved to deep
Yet not in stone
True, I made
But longed to own

Longed to own
What I could not make
I studied hard
'Twas my mistake

 

[Beleg]

Saruman?

 

[Gandalf White]

Yup, you're up!

 

[Beleg]

I give my turn to anyone else who has a riddle at hand.

 

[Gandalf White]

I don't want to hog, so I'll let someone else post...
