Alcarondas- the Castle of the Sea, perhaps? Generally ships are female.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-01-2005, 03:38 PM

In my "here she be" and other female implying drawl, I was simply in a pirate-type mood. The answer is a male.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-02-2005, 01:53 AM

Ciryaher? As far as I can tell, "cirya" might be related to "cair" -> ship and "her" is almost certainly "heru"-> lord.

?

Sophe

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-02-2005, 07:07 PM

Círdan?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-07-2005, 07:03 PM

Sorry I took so long... plum out forgot what my answer was! I had to go back and look it up to remember. Haha... should be a rule against that...

Sophia's got it with Ciryaher.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-08-2005, 02:28 AM

Wæfre

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-08-2005, 08:33 PM

Eriol?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-08-2005, 10:03 PM

that's the one.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-08-2005, 10:15 PM

A toughie here (I think):

Máhan.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-10-2005, 09:09 PM

Anyone?

Even if you just ask for hints, please?

Gil-Galad · 02-10-2005, 09:18 PM

i know it, i just forgot...it sounds so familiar too!!!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-10-2005, 09:41 PM

I know a Mahal, a Mahtan, and a Mahanaxar...?

But no Mahan.

Sorry, Nilp, you got me.

Sophia

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-10-2005, 09:42 PM

Who sits on Máhanaxar?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-10-2005, 09:44 PM

So the Valar. Or more specifically, I would guess Manwe?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-10-2005, 09:49 PM

And not just Manwë.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-10-2005, 10:17 PM

Quote:

mâchan supposedly means "authority, authoritative decision" (WJ:399). The source of Quenya Máhan, one of the eight chiefs of the Valar, though the translation Aratar was more usual. It is an element in Mâchananaškad "Doom-ring", Ring of Doom, adapted to Quenya as Máhanaxar or translated as Rithil-Anamo. (WJ:401)

So, the Aratar.

Tough indeed, Nilp.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 05:31 PM

But you still got it.

Take the thread. You certainly earned it.

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 02-22-2005, 04:10 PM

Sopia, dear, don't make me start a countdown...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-24-2005, 02:13 AM

Many apologies.

Alright, this is will be rather a back handed question as I can't think of anything obscure that hasn't been done. Follow my wanderings until you find the person referenced, then provide me with an alternate name for them.

His father was not Lorindol, nor his son Eluchil, yet his name he shared with the father of one greater than himself. And though the greater, he is in one way less.

Nothing cryptic in this. Just clues. Find an alternate name for the one referred to as Greater in the riddle and the thread will be yours.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-07-2005, 02:28 AM

Am I to assume that the person you want is from the First Age?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-28-2005, 08:12 PM

(Many thanks to the Inktomi Slurp Spider for reminding me of this thread.)

Enedwaith, let's start with a simple one:

Bronweg.

Reads like of "brown egg."

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 07-31-2005, 12:32 AM

Voronwe.

Sea-wing

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-31-2005, 07:51 AM

Eärrámë.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-08-2005, 07:53 PM

Súthburg.

Alcarillo · 08-08-2005, 07:58 PM

The Hornburg.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-08-2005, 08:18 PM

Your thread.

Alcarillo · 08-08-2005, 08:29 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-08-2005, 09:09 PM

Wildman of the Woods.

Alcarillo · 08-08-2005, 10:07 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-09-2005, 11:33 PM

Sorry, arcticstorm.

Alcarillo · 08-09-2005, 11:56 PM

Wolf-folk .

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-10-2005, 12:01 AM

Gaurwaith.

Alcarillo · 08-10-2005, 12:04 AM

Not quite. The Gaurwaith are called Wolf-men. Hint: bad guys

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-10-2005, 12:15 AM

I forgot my Sindarin, sorry.

Gaurhoth.

Alcarillo · 08-10-2005, 12:17 AM

Um, think of bipedal bad guys. First age. They're only called Wolf-folk once.

Joy · 08-12-2005, 09:55 PM

It was the Easterlings (Brodda and his crew)

Alcarillo · 08-13-2005, 02:43 PM

Joy got it.
