the magical cats of queen Berúthiel?

We come in black and white (nine black cats and one white cat)
White as snow, black as the night (same)
We sailed south, upon the Great Sea (The queen was set adrift (exiled) by the queens husband with nothing more then her cats. She sailed into the far south.)
Where we went remains a mystery (Never heard of again, except in legends)

Noooooo, I didn't look this up *rolls eyes*

Good Job! The thread is yours!

Here goes number two...

Round a river east and west we’d settle,
we decided during a great westward travel.
But when darkness engulfed the land,
only the west would stand.
East moved north,
and would hide underground henceforth.

Wood Elves?

Da Skorpion · 03-13-2005, 11:25 AM

Nope.

The Naugrim?

Da Skorpion · 03-14-2005, 01:13 AM

Nope.

Marky Lazer · 03-14-2005, 04:26 AM

The Dead?

Round a river east and west we’d settle,
River Morthond?
we decided during a great westward travel.
But when darkness engulfed the land,
only the west would stand.
East moved north,
"if the West prove mightier than thy Black Master, this curse I lay upon thee and thy folk..." They got cursed by 'the west'
and would hide underground henceforth.
They now live under the White Mountains.

Nice try, different river

I'd say try to find an other word for travel, and then look further.

Marky Lazer · 03-14-2005, 07:18 AM

Another try...

Silvan Elves?

Round a river east and west we’d settle,
Great River Anduin
we decided during a great westward travel.
But when darkness engulfed the land,
only the west would stand.
East moved north,
the Elves of the Great Journey travelled westward through the lands of Middle-earth
and would hide underground henceforth.
They lived in underground dwellings protected by magic.

Correct

Round a river east and west we’d settle, (Lorien & Mirkwood)
we decided during a great westward travel. (The great journey)
But when darkness engulfed the land, (Sauron's might spread to Mirkwood and Lorien)
only the west would stand. (Lorien was protected by Galadriel and her ring, Mirkwood would be taken by the Necromancer whom in fact is Sauron)
East moved north, (The wood elves retreated to the north of Mirkwood.)
and would hide underground henceforth. (They lived in underground dwellings protected by magic)

The Perky Ent: I couldn't count your answer as correct because only the Elves of Mirkwood are wood elves.

All of you: Are my riddles ok like this?
