And I found your orange too
http://tolkiengateway.net/w/images/8...Bor_device.gif This is the standard of Beorians, Barahir's people. There is your orange. |
Barahir would probably have used Beor's device, which per this page does actually contain some orange. But it's not the one I was thinking of.
(Whether the heraldry was in active use in Beleriand, or was created later and projected backwards, is a bit of an open question.) hS |

So Tarn Aeluin is the correct answer.
|
Wait, the lord of my own could mean the lord of its lord, ie. Barahir's lord, ie. Finrod, whose standard also contains orange. In which case, the jeewl line could refer to the Ring of Barahir.

The line of authority goes from Barahir (green) to Finrod (yellow, with his 'crown' of golden hair), to... who? And, y'know, where is Barahir lord of? hS |
There is a dark green jewel in the middle of said ring.

Do you know the answer to the riddle yet? hS |
After Finrod's death, it did go to Orodreth. And Barahir was the lord of Dorthonion.
|
Dorthonion then?

Let me have some time to make another one, then.

I liked yours. Now, for mine own:
Long ago, in lands of old I came to existence, with hair of gold The holder of my heart had golden hair too And our love was pure and true Long ago, we left the shores Of a land we called our home We did in on my behest, disappearing from all the tales But we helped provide hope in the times yet to come |

Good riddle! The first verse misdirected me to Valinor for a bit before I remembered the pictures.
"Oh my God!" I hear them cry (or perhaps my ears deceive me): All the gnomes, I think, and sigh, Yell "Codswallop!" when they see me. I am the front that grows on the trees, The box that makes some wheezy. Am I for beasts or am I quite sweet? Not sure - but I'm certainly easy! One answer, and you proooobably want to focus on the second half. hS |
Well, the only thing that grows on trees are fruits...
|

hS |
And also leaves. Leaves of Lorien?
|
Quote:
hS |
So I need to solve the box line too?
Let's see....I came across Debain (wheezy) Gnome upon consulting google... |
VirtualBox.
|
So Leavirtual or something?
|
Noldor are sometimes referred to as 'gnomes'.

Finglas, also known as Leaflock? Locked box could make some people wheezy, especially when they're locked inside of it. :p
|
So something that Noldor don't think of as very valuable, that start with lea or leaf?

Well, only fruits, leaves and flowers grow on trees.

Each line of the second half of the riddle, and each couplet of the first half, separately reveals the answer. So you've got six different ways to find it! :D hS |
Based on your wording, I think that certain capital letters spell the answer.
But in case it's not, does that half-line refer to the half of the name of whatever grows on trees? |

hS |
Because it says 'Front', as in front half, or first half. Unless you only mean first letter.
|
I might be an idiot, but I just can't see what are the lines of the second stanza referring to.....
|

Quote:
Haaaaaang on. >_> You're not going to catch me out that easily. Two lines of the second stanza are (I guess) cryptic clues; the other two are (I suppose) straight. hS |
So all of the Noldor yell 'Nonsense' when they see the answer?
|
Quote:
hS |
So something which sounds like 'Codswallop'?
'Gods gallop'? Orome? |
