No.

Damn guess it ain't in the air then 🤔
Minas Ithil?

Shining from above,
In years long past,
Dancing through the skies
To weave radiance anew.

Greatest of all,
Gazing from afar,
Though lesser than some,
And yet ne'er forgotten.

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

No.

 

[Eljorahir]

Shining from above,
In years long past,
Dancing through the skies
To weave radiance anew.

Greatest of all,
Gazing from afar,
Though lesser than some,
And yet ne'er forgotten.

Halley's Comet?

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

No.

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

Tilion, the moon

 

[Eljorahir]

Varda?

 

[Vorondil]

The sun.

No, no, and no; although @Eljorahir is close.

 

[CheriptheRipper]

Thorondor?

Maybe weave is a clue. If so, it's either Elrond (you know...Hugo Weaving). Or Vaire.

Eonwe? Ilmare?

Whilst nifty I do think that's a bit farfetched lol
Nice link though

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

Eonwe? Ilmare?

Varda, thou art correct! 'Tis Ilmarë.

Shining from above, (from high above upon Taniquetil)
In years long past, (since the Ainulindalë)
Dancing through the skies
To weave radiance anew. (she was a guardian spirit of the stars)

Greatest of all, (greatest of the Maiar)
Gazing from afar, (watching upon the peaks of Taniquetil)
Though lesser than some, (lesser than Eonwë in arms)
And yet ne'er forgotten. (never forgotten by the Valar)

Would you guys like me to host another riddle (am I becoming the Official Riddle Host now?), or should I let another have a go? Personally I prefer writing them rather than guessing....

 

[CheriptheRipper]

I do love yours, but as it's rightfully Elbereth's turn it's up to her?
Do wonder what she'll be able to come up with 👀

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

Rightly spoken; I shall grant her a chance.

 

[Vorondil]

If Elbereth does not wish to go next would you mind letting me go next as I have managed to write another. Obviously it depends whether Elbereth wants to go or not.

 

[Áramandë Amaniel]

If Elbereth does not wish to go next would you mind letting me go next as I have managed to write another.

Such a chance I shall also grant thee, if such circumstances indeed happen.

Let us wait and see.

Doesn't seem like Elbereth wants to 🤔
