Alcarondas- the Castle of the Sea, perhaps? Generally ships are female.

Feanor of the Peredhil 02-01-2005 03:38 PM

Nope.
 
In my "here she be" and other female implying drawl, I was simply in a pirate-type mood. The answer is a male.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-02-2005 01:53 AM

Out on a flimsy translation limb...
 
Ciryaher? As far as I can tell, "cirya" might be related to "cair" -> ship and "her" is almost certainly "heru"-> lord.

?

Sophe

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-02-2005 07:07 PM

WAGgin' it.
 
Círdan?

Feanor of the Peredhil 02-07-2005 07:03 PM

Sorry I took so long... plum out forgot what my answer was! I had to go back and look it up to remember. Haha... should be a rule against that...

Sophia's got it with Ciryaher.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-08-2005 02:28 AM

w00t.
 
Wæfre

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-08-2005 08:33 PM

Eriol?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-08-2005 10:03 PM

*nods*
 
that's the one.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-08-2005 10:15 PM

Thanks!
 
A toughie here (I think):

Máhan.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-10-2005 09:09 PM

Ummm . . .
 
Anyone?

Even if you just ask for hints, please? :(

Gil-Galad 02-10-2005 09:18 PM

i know it, i just forgot...it sounds so familiar too!!!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-10-2005 09:41 PM

I know a Mahal, a Mahtan, and a Mahanaxar...?

But no Mahan.

Sorry, Nilp, you got me. :p

Sophia

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-10-2005 09:42 PM

A hint, then.
 
Who sits on Máhanaxar?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-10-2005 09:44 PM

Well, it's the Ring of Doom (original version)...
 
So the Valar. Or more specifically, I would guess Manwe?

:confused:

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-10-2005 09:49 PM

Well, not just any Valar.
 
And not just Manwë. ;)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-10-2005 10:17 PM

Ardalambion knows all, and after much searching, tells all...
 
Quote:

mâchan supposedly means "authority, authoritative decision" (WJ:399). The source of Quenya Máhan, one of the eight chiefs of the Valar, though the translation Aratar was more usual. It is an element in Mâchananaškad "Doom-ring", Ring of Doom, adapted to Quenya as Máhanaxar or translated as Rithil-Anamo. (WJ:401)
So, the Aratar. :D

Tough indeed, Nilp.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-13-2005 05:31 PM

Blame Ardalambion!
 
But you still got it.

Take the thread. You certainly earned it. ;)

Celebriel Esgaledhel 02-22-2005 04:10 PM

Paging again...
 
Sopia, dear, don't make me start a countdown...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-24-2005 02:13 AM

Goodness, I forgot!
 
Many apologies.

Alright, this is will be rather a back handed question as I can't think of anything obscure that hasn't been done. Follow my wanderings until you find the person referenced, then provide me with an alternate name for them.

His father was not Lorindol, nor his son Eluchil, yet his name he shared with the father of one greater than himself. And though the greater, he is in one way less.

Nothing cryptic in this. Just clues. Find an alternate name for the one referred to as Greater in the riddle and the thread will be yours. ;)

Nilpaurion Felagund 03-07-2005 02:28 AM

Sophia?
 
Am I to assume that the person you want is from the First Age?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-28-2005 08:12 PM

Way more than 10 days.
 
(Many thanks to the Inktomi Slurp Spider for reminding me of this thread.)

Enedwaith, let's start with a simple one:

Bronweg.

Reads like of "brown egg." :D

Celebriel Esgaledhel 07-31-2005 12:32 AM

Voronwe.


Sea-wing

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-31-2005 07:51 AM

Eärrámë.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 07:53 PM

Taking over . . .
 
Súthburg.

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 07:58 PM

The Hornburg.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 08:18 PM

Looks good.
 
Your thread. :)

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 08:29 PM

Thanks
 
Golug

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 08:45 PM

Noldor.

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 08:47 PM

Yep!
 
Your turn.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-08-2005 09:09 PM

Thanks!
 
Wildman of the Woods.

Alcarillo 08-08-2005 10:07 PM

Túrin.

arcticstorm 08-09-2005 09:23 AM

Turambar

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-09-2005 11:33 PM

Alcarillo got first.
 
Sorry, arcticstorm.

Alcarillo 08-09-2005 11:56 PM

Thanks
 
Wolf-folk .

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-10-2005 12:01 AM

Gaurwaith.

Alcarillo 08-10-2005 12:04 AM

Not quite. The Gaurwaith are called Wolf-men. Hint: bad guys

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-10-2005 12:15 AM

D'oh!
 
I forgot my Sindarin, sorry. :o

Gaurhoth.

Alcarillo 08-10-2005 12:17 AM

Um, think of bipedal bad guys. First age. They're only called Wolf-folk once.

Joy 08-12-2005 09:55 PM

It was the Easterlings (Brodda and his crew)

Alcarillo 08-13-2005 02:43 PM

Yep
 
Joy got it.
