In that location also at a place previously left once more.

There and Back Again, a Hobbit's Holiday

There and Back Again, a Hobbit's Holiday

Quite right.
You're up.

[Itharas]

Heehee, these are fun!

The vital principle in humans, animating the body or mediating between body and soul, which results from the chemical process that gives a calx-like substance when applied to Fe.

Yikes a real brain bender for me! The only answer I can think of is Manwë. One of the great spirits, and his domain is the air I believe. Probably way off though...

[Osmunda]

My guess was Fëanor, soul of fire, but I'd have to ask a chemist to make sure fire is really the answer

And we have a winner! You're up Osmunda.

[Osmunda]

Wow, that was hard. I'll try to make an easy but twisted one

Exist, take place, belong.
Disjunction.

[Itharas]

Exist, take place, belong.
Disjunction.

Hmm, tricksy, very tricksy.

Ea, perhaps? The World that Is, to which everything belongs?

[Osmunda]

No, it's one word made by joining both definitions

[Itharas]

...okay...

Araphor then? "Exist=to be=are=ar-" and "Belong=for=phor"

[Osmunda]

No, it's easier, but you got the first half right.

Be+"Disjunction"

[Itharas]

No, it's easier, but you got the first half right.

Be+"Disjunction"

Beor, then?

[Osmunda]

Bëor

You are right!

[Itharas]

Well, that's a relief. I was running out of ideas.

Okay let's try this one.

A diminished form of a multi-paged communication in print form published at a regular frequency often featuring high definition images which may serve as a venue for budding creators in combination with accumulated facts, traditions, and beliefs about a particular subject.

Okay the only thing I can think of is the Red Book of Westmarch. It's probably way off though. This is a tough one for sure.

[Itharas]

No, not the Red Book.

Hmm, sounds like a mini-farmer's almanac.

Hope that helps someone decipher this puzzle....

[Itharas]

Wow I was not expecting this to be so difficult.

Anyway, here's a hint to keep things going...

Though the description is of a publication, the answer is the name of a character... not a book.

[bambubambubambu]

It's been another few days...perhaps another clue?

Have to admit this one has me baffled but good! Of course that's not exactly a hard thing to do...

[Boraxxe]

Maglor

Mag (short for magazine) A diminished form of a multi-paged communication....etc
lor (lore misspelled) ...in combination with accumulated facts, traditions, and beliefs about a particular subject


Edit: Maglor is one of Feanor's sons.

Wow that was a great riddle and answer. I was thinking 'mini' + ' Elle' (the fashion magazine) = Miriel. I know, ridiculous.

Haha, yup. You're up Boraxxe. xD

[Boraxxe]

Whew. That one took some head scratchin'.

Next one:

Transit is emphatically proscribed.

"You cannot pass"?

[Boraxxe]

"You cannot pass"?

Well, I guess that's close enough....I thought that one might be a bit too easy...
