A symbol of sorrow I am,
Yet inspired valor upon the land,
Wet from both man and river,
Yet I was carried like a quiver.

Does the name of this "symbol of sorrow" perchance begin with the letter "N"?

What was your guess, I'm mind blanking on things starting with N

I thought Narsil fit 3 out the 4 clues (sorrow, valor, and quiver), so I thought I'd give it a try.

TrollinSun · Aug 13, 2022

I guess Narsil almost fits, but associated with a river is the key.

If a fail, I'll owe you beer,
Is it yet...The Horn of Boromir!?

TrollinSun · Aug 13, 2022

Yes! not my best effort, obviously a little vague minus the river but I'll do my best to come up with another one.
Eljorahir, you have any riddles to share? I feel like Gollum as I eat my tilapia for dinner and guess riddles on here. Hehehe

I wanted to ask, the "wet from man" part. That would be the moisture from the breath that sounds the horn? Or, did you have something else in mind? I can't remember if maybe Aragorn shed a tear at Boromir's death, that may have been your intent.

TrollinSun · Aug 13, 2022

Yes to condensation from your breath to blow the horn. I actually couldn't remember if aragorn cried in the books at Boromir's death (don't have a book on me), but I more thinking of Denethor sitting for two days with the horn in his lap.

Easy one

Youthful gift of Minas thrift,
stronger than a boar,
hoard reward, turning swords,
yet final bearing caused fear to soar.

I'd say Frodo's mithril shirt.
However, I can't decipher line #1

Might be an easy one…

I have cities but no houses, forests but no trees, rivers without water. What am I?

Rising and falling
In all observed ways that ever augment;
Never to be ceased
Upon the brink of day nor night.

Yet in all absence I am discovered,
Here to be seen beyond your reach,
Until here beyond
You come at last.
