Hehe.
 

Clues? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Clues, clues.
 

Alright, what I am looking for does (this time ;)) begin with an S, however, it is the lesser known name of the thing in question. And I don't think I'm overstepping by saying it is a Geographical Feature.

Can't tell you much more without blowing it.

:smokin:

Ship of Long Foam (Otherwise known as Cair Andros)?

Divider of the Great: Splits the Anduin.

Eases the Crossing: Um, I suppose it would make crossing the Anduin easier since it would be two narrower rivers rather than one wide one...

Must be well protected: It was guarded against the forces of Mordor by Gondorian soldiers, though the defenses were breached due to not enough men.

That's the one.
 

Bravo, bravo.

Thanks. Oh, wait, now I have to write one of these?!?!
 

;) Let's see...

The truth-speaker is sung of by the jester, yet feared by friend and foe alike.

WAGging again . . .
 

Malbeth?

Nope.

Anyone?

Saruman?
 

Just a wild guess.

If wrong, hints?

Nope.

The jester was named so in jest, and no where near where the solution is mentioned.

The third part (feared by friends and foes) comes from a specific instance in the text.

Aren't there two people? :confused:
The jester = Sam?
The truth speaker = Gandalf? (when he lamented him in Lorien).

My apologies - I forgot to say which one I meant! I'm looking for "the truth-speaker... who is feared by friends and foes alike."

Sam is correct; Gandalf is not.

Just a question: It has to begin with an M, right?

...Mithrandir?

Yes, it begins with M...
 

No, it's not Mithrandir.

Forgetting the rules . . .
 

Now you tell me. :rolleyes: :o :D

Nice going, birdbrain, with the Saruman bit.

You don't have to remind me.

Gee, I have it! Mumakil. :D

That was a good one!

Aye, that's the one!

Your turn, Evisse.

*poke*
 

Evisse?

*ouch*
 

A Wag.
 

Lúthien?

Being endowed with a high power

She is half-Ainu.

But helpless to the hands of fate

Tied to Beren.

Enriched the lore

Uh . . .

Awakened hate

Awakened the Oath of Fëanor through the Quest of the Silmaril, which was done for her.

Was granted love in final hour.

She died and rescued Beren before he was sent away.

Luthien it is! Your turn! :)

Lay of Leithian ;)

WAGs do work?
 

Wow. So cool. :D

A Lover of lore,
The Son of Star-foam
Ceded the Sceptre.

A Lover of lore:

Nólimon -- means most learned; surname given to Vardamir, Elros' son

--

Son of Star-foam:

Elros means Star-foam

--

Ceded the Sceptre:

Vardamir Nólimon was very old when Elros died, and he passed the Sceptre of Númenor immediately on to his son, Tar-Amandil

------------------------------------------

So my answer would be Nólimon since it needs to begin with the letter 'N'.

- E -

Spot on.
 

It is Nólimon.

Your turn. :)

Stone master / Aperture adept

A silver-fisted friend, indeed

Narvi?
 

The Dwarf who made the West-Gate of Moria, and friend of Celebrimbor?

'Tis so . . . continue on!

- E -

I
 

It came from the South.
Of unknown origin.
Given to the Wise.

Incanus, a name for Gandalf?

:)

Seregon?

Yups. Your turn. :)

N
 

It's sharp, it's protected, and it's surrounded by water.

*bump*
 

It took me a while to recall my answer.

Anyone?

....Numenor?

Hi! Welcome back!
 

Sorry, no.

Although you're on the right track. It's a place.

Thanks. So good to be back :)
 

As for the riddle, the Naith of Lorien? Naith means 'sharp'. Lorien was protected by Galadriel's Ring, and surrounded by Nimrodel, Celebrant and Anduin.

Capital!
 

Your turn. :)

Thankies!

Hateful hands built a shrine to death
which still claims lives.
All withers in its wake.
