Haha Womdon dont feel bad, it was completely tough riddle! Andulinde is just
really really good, he makes them seem easy! Now we just have to see a riddle FROM him haha
pondering your latest...
and still pondering Bailo's...
Could it be sand and glass womdon? or sand and a window... *goes back to brooding over the fire*
Sorry Bailo, sand and glass is not the answer, but twas a good guess!
I assume plants/seedlings was wrong, so let me think...
I am best warm,
For warm I must be to make,
And come in many flavors,
which come from things that fall in harvest,
But I am not baked or made like a cake
Upon second thought, I believe the answer to your riddle just may be... Tea?
First off let me apologize for not saying plants/seedlings is wrong, I was pondering your current riddle ;)Quote:

Ahh, right on! Boy I'm having fun with this riddle thread today (don't tell the boss).
And Bailo, I thought that riddle was quite good, I may tell it to a few friends of mine to see if they can figure it out. I drink tea every morning so I should have thought of that quicker methinks.
Here's a quickie that just popped in my head (sorry if I'm inundating you guys with these)
Saved first by the white, and last by the young,
I've no patience for the treacherous tongue
Lol never really posted but always watched (I'm horrible at riddles) I found one I might be able to answer. :p
Is it eomer?
Woops :P I thought i got it mixed up, just about to edit it after looking it up on wiki. I feel slow right now lol
I think you might have Eomer mixed up with his pops, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The answer is indeed Theoden, king of Rohan. Eomer/Theoden, close enough ;)Quote:

Womdon, your riddle from before- I have it!
Though brothers, they are very different. As different as NIGHT AND DAY!
Night falls and day breaks
Excellent, elvyen, night and day indeed.
Here's another riddle... This one may appeal to the fans of the lore
I am he who led bravely to my death
Led the strongest of my kind in glory
Though those who we fell lay claim to my name
Twas for them that the battle was gory
The hammer of wrath wrang loud and true
Yet now I am but myth and story
could the answer be Ar-Pharazon?
No, it's not Ar-pharazon, but good guess
Womdon, I really liked your night and day riddle, especially. Not sure about the latest one.
But I'm going to jump into the water and post one! My first posted riddle! I'm so excited. :P Hopefully it doesn't suck.
two heirs unannounced to a valiant dream
a thinly veiled pair, we're a brilliant team --
with backs to the wall and strong courage frayed
i take up your slack while you lend your aid
who are we?
Andulinde, I must admit I'm envious of your forum title... I'm curious how you got it??
As for your riddle, I'll venture a guess: Is it Beren and Luthien?
/looks at andulinde's forum title... By Durin's Beard! I want it! How did you acquire such a thing? Now I'll start pondering your riddle... probably not Elladan and Elrohir, right? I'll keep thinking.
Well, it's not Beren/Luthien, nor Elladan/Elrohir. Elvy, I expect you to get this right off, ok?
And re: the forum title, I got it for winning a riddle game hosted by +Turbert a few months ago, outside Crickhollow on Nimrodel. Elvy was there! and should have bested me, but I snatched the victory away at the last moment. ;)
Fraktyl, and others, who won the contest on other servers, also have the title.
arggh... I wish I knew when these events were going on. Is it possible to foretell them, or do I just need to be lucky and be on at the same time as a dev in the same area? Are they on every server?
Could the answer to your riddle be Turin and Beleg? I can think of many different pairs of people who were "a brilliant team." It would seem to me that many would fit this riddle. Perhaps I'm just missing something here...
I've been watching this thread for a little while, and it peaked my interest. So I put together a simple little riddle to throw into the mix. Bear with me, as it's my first riddle, and I'm afraid it may be a little too vague...
I hold my fortune with no lock and no key,
Secured with no knob or no latch.
You felt joy when my fortune was heroes set free,
You are irked when my fortune is black.
No, it was simply announced in Regional about 10-20min before the event. Devs have said that if they posted it on the forums, it would crash servers as thousands of people descended on Crickhollow, etc.Quote:

Andulinde, for your riddle I believe the answer is... Eowyn and Merry.
And Dav16, welcome to the riddle thread! I'm a relative newcomer too. I believe the answer to your riddle is... an Egg.
<crosses fingers> :D
Well now, Womdon, that is a very good guess. As it makes sense of 'heirs unannounced,' 'thinly veiled,' and the last two lines. It is not, however, what I was thinking of. The very last line is the payoff; it is a very particular reference (to something rather different from what people have been thinking).Quote:

Darn, I thought I had it that time. Maybe I'm thinking too lore-centric.. hmmmm.
Well, I've still got hope for my egg guess on Dav16's!
The boss is all over me today , i finally have a chance to check the thread.
Andulinde, what a cool sounding riddle, and congrats on your first one! I want this one, bad. I have a feeling its something not someone. a simple and profound solution is somewhere in there, and i want it badly. One of us will get it soon, no more hints!
Welcome to the thread, Dav16! (at least to the participation aspect of it hehe) Cool riddle, ill ponder it just in case womdon's guess is wrong, though it does sound right hehe
For andulinde's riddle would it be merry and pippin?
