Terrible curse makes me think of Noldor... Still, oldest and strongest... Treebeard?

Keep thinking of the Noldor ;).

Galadriel?

Nope. Keep trying :).

Fëanor?

Hmm....it was Maedhros but I realised the same thing could apply to Feanor too, so it would be awfully pedantic for me to deny you the thread....*evil grin*. You're up :).

Righto
 

Judas to oath lords
Follower of the fourth son
He sounds swift, but who?

Ulfast?

Quite correct, well done. All yours!

Lifted
 

The riddler's riddle deriddled let's riddle another riddle, eh.

Eh... That was too riddling for me. ;)

Another riddle, yes.

The greatest challenge
By the high king of noldor
Against a dark king

I know it's too easy, but I'm tired.

Finrod?

Nope.

Myself (Fingolfin)? :)

Of course.

Sorry for the slow response, forgot about this thread:

Melted in the Fire,
Corrupter of the mighty,
Item of desire.

The One Ring?

Yep.

Ok for this you'll also have to say the situation. :)

As the First Elves once
Beheld the land of Arda,
So they looked around.

The awakening of the firstborn (Elves) at Cuivienen.

Nope. The event is said to be similar to that one, but it's not it.

(btw, cute avvie you got :D )

Thank you!

The return of the Noldor to Middle-Earth?

Nope.
Hint: check LOTR. The persons in questions are likened to the 'first Elves awaking...'

I'm sorry if i'm such a failure but I lent out my copy of LOTR to a friend, so I'm guessing now.

The fellowship looking at Moria, specifically Dwarrowdelf? (The big city)

Nope!

Another hint: it's in TTT

up, thread!
 

Big hint: It happens near a forest.

Merry pippin and fangorn?

Exactly! :)

Oh my gosh I finally got it! Took me long enough... you know the ironic thing about that is that was one of my first guesses but I didn't think it was right so I didn't put it! Hmmm... that means I have to write a haiku...

Shining as sunlight,
and with the light of the stars,
now kept in the deep

Hope it's not too confusing!

reviving quiz threads...
 

hello?? Anybody?

I've got it...
 

I know it, and I didn't think it was too confusing.

It's the Arkenstone

"It was like a globe with a thousand faces; it shone like silver in the firelight, like water in the sun, like snow under the stars, like rain upon the Moon!" (The Hobbit, Chapter XII Inside Information)

so it is "Shining as sunlight,/and with the light of the stars,"
and

"They buried Thorin deep beneath the Mountain, and Bard laid the Arkenstone upon his breast." (The Hobbit, Chapter XVIII The Return Journey)

so that it's "now kept in the deep"

hmm...I guess this means I've got to come up with a Haiku...give me a day or so, I'll have one by then.

Many Thanks.

hmm..
 

On second thought I guess it was rather hasty to assume I'm right. Sorry about that, it just seemed so clear that doubt (and common sense) couldn't make themselves heared over "Eurika!".

I apologise for assuming myself correct, and I'll wait for you to respond.


Many Thanks

Well you're right, go ahead Shelob the thread is yours.

Alrighty then...
 

Thanks.

Well...keeping with the string of potentially confusing Haikus, I feel this one to be a bit criptic...the only clue I feel I should give is that a lot of the phrases come straight from the book.

Gnawed, maimed, mocked are you
By the violent maggot-folk
As day sinks you rise

Good Luck!

Re:
 

Could it be a Troll?

Sorry, but it's not a troll.

Keep Guessing.

hello...*echo* 'ello...*echo* 'lo...
 

It's been almost five days and no more guesses.

Do you guys want a clue? Because if you want one just ask, I'll gladly give you it.

A red sun rises...
 

The Sun? That's probably not it though, so I asks for a hint. And if that isn't nice enough I begs. :D

A hint
 

No need to beg, but it makes me feel powerful :D

Alright for I hint I'll tell you that it A) the first two lines refer to an object B) the third line refers to an event (yes you probably could guess this...but still) and C) both are known/associated with a place

It may not help a lot...but the three (object, event, place) are so usually spoken of as one that they're almost indistinguishable from each other...so if you hear the place name you'll probably immediately think of the object and event and likewise should you hear of the object or event.

Perhaps this:

The old king statue, its severed head crowned with flowers . . .
