My feet in life stepped
On lands now forgotten
Númenor
My children are nameless
3 who's names Tolkien never gave us
Save one King begotten
Meneldil third King of Gondor
I have never been alone
In duty, death and life
Died with his father in the last alliance, ruled alongside his brother, stands in memory as an Argonath with Isildur
Not in one way but two
Did I rise to great heights.
Ruler of men and as an Argonath he is REALLY tall

Anárion is right! Good job Annunfuiniel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That was great one, Tar-Palantir! It's not easy to step in your boots but I'll have to try something...

I have served with my words
one high and one higher
but my eyes aren't on birds
for another is my desire
and last one more clue
I'm not forever true.

Ok, that's quite terrible (I hate that bird line!) but it's the best I could do.
[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hmm..Wormtongue? I don't think that's it, but its an educated guess.

I would also guess Grima first, but maybe it's Smeagol?

Yes Beren, Grima Wormtongue it is despite your doubts. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Just the part about birds threw me off.


I walk not on up
Feared by many am I
dead but not decayed
I can't be told to die

Is it the paths of the dead? ...more or less the people IN the paths of the dead? *lol*

Nooope, that wasn't what I was aiming for.

Nazgul

A Barrow-Wight

Morgoth's spirit?

Beren? Beren87??? There´s a game going on here, remebember?? G-A-M-E!
[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Oh it hasn't been that long, heysus.

Tar-Palantir is correct!

Cool. *Tar does the macarena for a few minutes* - heeeeeyyyyyy macarena...

I have walked
I have crawled
and I've never been chicken

I have sailed
I have ridden
and I've been bitten

I have climbed
I have faught
and I've worn others' clothes

I have spelunked
I have flown
and I've survived the foulest of foes

Do you know who I am?
Two more clues to be sure?
Je n'ai jamais été nu et
Je déteste porter des chaussures

fun, fun, fun, I hope you enjoy. Bonne chance!

Oh, I wish I knew French! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Perhaps porter is a cognate? Is it Samwise Gamgee?

Umm...I think it was something about being naked and with shoes...

Hey I spend alot of time on these - you have to at leat pretend not to know for awhile!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I have never been naked and
I hate to wear shoes
- those were the other clues, but I just realized that he did get naked at the BD. guess it all worked out?

Your turn Elfhelm [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

i was actually thinking Gollum becasue he crwaled and walked some bit and survived the foluest of Mordor and was nearly naked

Well, I'm kinda tired, so this will be in prose:

I fought against my people at an elven port, I gave the Healer a stone of Gondolin, and I turned down a chance to rule Middle-earth. Who am I?

Galadriel.

Glorfindel?

*bump-da-bump-da*

Just calling this thread into life again, maybe Elfhelm has been overlooking it.

Well, it has officially been ten days now.
I'll ask a new one:

Tall I stood,
but he was laid to rest
between the mountain-roots.
After a long, long test.

Or so I thought, till he was caught
And I had to do my very best.

Could it be Elendil? Dunno...it might be...then again...might not... Go figure! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Could that be Denethor?

No, not the answer I am looking for

"The mountain roots" make me think of Moria:
Are you Gandalf and he is the Balrog? Or perhaps the other way around?? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How about Ar-Pharazôn and Melkor/Sauron?
Have to keep on trying! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yes, you have a name to keep high, Annunfuiniel [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

No right answer yet, but keep thinking

Tulkas and Morgoth?

Is it Sam, when he thinks that Frodo has been Killed by Shelob?? The "tall" part doesn't fit,I know. Unless it means in spirit or courage. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You're correct, Eruanna. And indeed not everything that was written was to be taken literally.

Well done.

Ok, thank you. This is probably too easy, but it is my first attempt!
[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

"An enchanted land
I girdled round,
In the Thousand caves
I can be found."

Could it be ...ummm... Melian of Thingol who had a daughter named Lúthien who married a man who recovered a Silmaril which eventually brought about the fall of Thingol causing her to ...ahem...lower her girdle and abandon Doriath?

Gosh, four minutes, Tar-Palantir! I'll try harder next time. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks. Here is another one.

Welcome precious earth bound child, we met you first in your father's songs

and mother's smile by mountains wild, it's in this place you now belong.

Sadly you know of all these things and remember the gardens of years gone by

for you were born under silver sky to taste the land and breeze on high.

So sing one day to all of us, the songs you learned in lost days fair,

bring legend to life and words to trust, with wisdom, patience and strength, all shared.

[ March 14, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Luthien? Or Elrond, perhaps?

Galadriel?

Arwen, I think
