Fingolfin II 08-21-2004 01:32 AM

Thanks Perky. I was actually going to give reasons, but since you've done them for me....oh well.

I am one of the true half-elves. Who am I?

Three answers here.

Morsul the Dark 08-21-2004 01:36 AM

this wrong since its too obvious

Elrond?or wait do we need all three?

and actually Dior would make most sense i guess

Dior elrond elros?

Fingolfin II 08-21-2004 02:44 AM

Nope, sorry Morsul :confused:.

The Perky Ent 08-21-2004 05:49 AM

Earendil?

Fingolfin II 08-21-2004 06:36 AM

That's one of the answers. Now I want two more ;).

The Perky Ent 08-21-2004 07:29 AM

Dior, Earendil, and Eldarion!

NightKnight 08-21-2004 12:14 PM

Eärendil, Luthien and Galador.

Fingolfin II 08-21-2004 06:43 PM

NightKnight is correct :).

NightKnight 08-22-2004 04:18 AM

I am the last living of the first who saw the light. Who am I?

The Perky Ent 08-22-2004 08:49 AM

Is it Indis? She's the youngest living Vanyar that survived?

NightKnight 08-23-2004 01:44 PM

Your reasoning is way off, but not your answer. ;)

The Perky Ent 08-23-2004 05:40 PM

Alright...so I go now? Alright!

The faithful and steadfast

Morsul the Dark 08-23-2004 05:41 PM

Fingolfin II 08-24-2004 12:42 AM

Sam?

NightKnight 08-24-2004 05:47 AM

Actually, you weren't right, so my question still stands. I was just saying that you were close. :p

The Perky Ent 08-24-2004 04:23 PM

Hmm...no Indis? Oh well...

Valier 12-17-2005 10:58 PM

I will guess shadowfax?

Urwen 03-13-2010 06:04 AM

Is it Hurin? Thalion=Steadfast.

The Might 03-13-2010 06:42 AM

I guess that five years later we could just as well restart the thread with a new question.
And since you probably got it right anyway, go ahead Urwen. ;)

Urwen 04-23-2010 01:10 AM

I dwelled in shadow
of a shadow.

I used to weep
yet now I live with sheep.


I wasn't a hater
now I dwell in water.


Who am I?

Pitchwife 04-25-2010 02:27 PM

No idea, but since you're the one who's asking, it's probably Tar-Miriel:p;)
Seriously, the only thing that rings a bell is sheep = Erendis (or possibly Ancalime), but I'm not sure how the rest of the riddle fits either. With all of Númenor, including their graves, being submerged, you can I suppose say they now dwell in water; the 'shadow of a shadow' remains puzzling.

Urwen 04-25-2010 02:33 PM

You are correct with Erendis. Shadow of the shadow is other name for story
'Aldarion and Erendis'. Your turn!

(And as for 'the water', Erendis died in water.);)

Pitchwife 04-25-2010 02:42 PM

*insert light bulb smiley*
Ah, I quite forgot about that title. Nice. (Poor Erendis, btw - considering how she loathed the sea, it must be hard for her to be buried at the bottom of the ocean now...:( But then again, her true self is with Ilúvatar, I guess.)
Thanks, I'll try to think of something; give me a day or two.

Pitchwife 04-29-2010 02:57 PM

OK, here goes:
I am one of two and of seven, the last and the first. Who am I?

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-01-2010 12:49 AM

Durin is boring and probably not correct, right? :)

Galadriel 05-01-2010 03:31 AM

No harp is wrung, no hammer falls,
The darkness dwells in Durins halls...

Urwen 05-01-2010 11:04 AM

Or maybe Amras?

Pitchwife 05-02-2010 04:00 AM

Durin is anything but boring and not quite unfitting the description either, but unfortunately not correct.
Urwen, you've almost got it.

Urwen 05-02-2010 04:10 AM

Amrod?

Pitchwife 05-02-2010 04:17 AM

Yep, it's Amrod (aka A/Umbarto). Can you explain why?
Anyway, the thread is yours.:)

Urwen 05-02-2010 04:25 AM

Right.

My father and five uncles died. My sixth uncle is alive but gone. Who am I?

Pitchwife 05-02-2010 04:37 AM

Celebrimbor?
Father = Curufin (according to one version of his pedigree), five dead uncles = Maedhros, Celegorm, Caranthir, Amrod and Amros, sixth uncle = Maglor (not reported to have died, but came never again among Elves).

(And the explanation for my last one was: youngest of Feanor's seven sons = born last, one of two twins, first of the seven to die = burnt with the ships in Losgar.)

Urwen 05-02-2010 04:40 AM

Carry on.:D

Pitchwife 05-02-2010 04:48 AM

Is that a yes?

Urwen 05-02-2010 05:47 AM

It is!
