nope

Bilbo or Frodo, perhaps? Maybe Gandalf?

no

Gandalf?
Saruman?
Legolas?
Elrond?
Galdor?

Lyra you aare correct it was Legolas.

OK, its easy- but I don't have time for subtlety! (Revising Vietnam- aargh!)

I am beauty lost, but health recovered
My legend will never be uncovered.
Death I caused, though not by choice
I sing with an enchanting voice.
Two I have been, though one remains-
Tell me please, what is my name?

And btw I know remains and name don't rhyme, OK?

Gollum? If you think about it, it sorta fits. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ok, ok, now I know not all of these fit so great, but my head hurts right now.

Could it be Glorfindel, Luthien, or perhaps Galadriel.

I know some of those are a stretch.

None of them so far!

Nimrodel, both the elf-maid and the river.

Golum?

Could it be Perrigan Took?

Ooh, I think Annunfuiniel has it... or if not, it's a super good guess... blast, I've been trying to think of the answer for days now... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Yes, its Nimrodel.

I am beauty lost, the lost maiden but health recovered the river
My legend will never be uncovered.we don't know what happened
Death I caused, though not by choice she caused amroth to die
I sing with an enchanting voice. the river, or both!
Two I have been, though one remains- it was an elf and a river, now only a river
Tell me please, what is my name?

Annunfuinel, your go!

Thank you, Lyra! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
And thanks elven maiden Earwen for the reminder. I'm sorry but I have no riddle at the moment to offer you and I won't be around for a while so anyone can carry on.

ok i'll go and this might be easy

i am of gold
my brother of silver
put us together
and there is light so splender

Laurelin (brother is Telperion)

correct you are

Alright... really cheesy rhyme, but have fun [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

a daughter of princes
who never were kings
in a land by the sea
with a crest of white wings
yet my son rules a kingdom
and sits on a throne
in a country not mine
a land far from my home

findulas

nope, her sons weren't kings.

Arwen?
Her father Elrond was never a king, although his brother was. She is far from both Rivendell and Aman, in Gondor which is by the sea. The helmets of Gondorian soldiers have a crest of wings and her son Eldarion was king after Aragorn's death. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

wow... it fits pretty nicely, but that's not who I was looking for.

The wings refer to her original homeland

Strewth, I really thought I'd got it!

OK then..... is it Eärwen? The wings thing ( and your clue ) made me think of Alqualondë.
Wasn't she called "Swan Maiden" or something like that? Her son, Finrod Felagund became King of Nargothrond......see where I'm going here?

Earwen's father was a king...

Lothíriel, daughter of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth. She married Éomer and their son Elfwinë became King of the Mark after him.

Perfect [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

a place with princes that aren't kings that's by the sea with a crest of white wings-- Dol Amroth...

Whoever's first can continue...I don't create riddles quickly and frankly don't have time to do so right now. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

But I'll be back when I can! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I am pleased to announce that I have written a riddle. Ahem!

Beautiful and cruel,
Fiery and cold.
Conqueror of the victors,
I stand to the end.

Who am I?

Barazinbar the Cruel (Caradhras, Redhorn) - of the Mountains of Moria, the farthest west and north.

i beleive piosenniel has it

Indeed she does.

Welcome to the Downs, tulkas! Please keep posting!

Tulkas

Welcome! Since you also had the right of it, and I have not time today to craft a riddle - would you do the honors and pose the next problem for us?

well i'm quite new here, so here goes

Enchanted under the stars
Never to cross the sea
I became the father
Of a middle earth beauty

thingol

had a feeling that would be a little too easy, but well done. Over to you Earwen

mine easy to because its late and all I can think of.

married a man of the great stone city
were there lived a queen who loved her kittys
