Clever question... Kemen. It is the only one not found in the place-names of Numenor.

More? Hmm I'm not sure how to go about continuing on this track. Could I have a hint please? To be really useful, you might tell me whether you're talking about Numenor or not. =/

Staddle was the only one inhabited by Hobbits, as well as Men.

It's more of a geographic difference than a demographic.

Combe was the only one of the three that was in a valley?

Archet the only place in a forest or not on Bree-hill?

Combe, because it was nearest to teh South Downs?
Clearly, I am just guessing!

Combe is the only one that took its name from its location?
Combe lay in a deep valley, and "combe" was an old word for valley.

Ah! I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Meneltarmacil had it on August 2 with the fact that Archet was merely the only one in a forest. Sorry for all of you who kept working so hard on it.

Nevrast
Mithrim Gorgoroth Nurn These places really do not have much in common, but if you look at what three of them have in common, then it'll be really obvious why the fourth doesn't fit.

I'll say Gorgoroth, as it is the only region that does not contain a body of water (Linaewen in Nevrast, Lake Mithrim in Mithrim and the Sea of Nurnen in Nurn).

Absolutely right! You got that one really easily. Apparently, I am not that great at coming up with hard questions [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]... Go ahead, Saucepan Man!

Bag End

No river flows near Orodruin. Except its own rivers of lava, of course. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Nope. That's not the answer that I'm looking for.

Does that mean it isn't Orodruin, or just that the reason was wrong? I was thinking Orodruin, because it is the only one that is a place, not a home of some sort- all the others are lived in, that one is a volcano!

I just have this hunch about Orodruin and it might be that it's the only place that Bilbo's mithril coat did not go to. Maybe, maybe not...

Nope, neither of those is what I'm looking for. And Orodruin may be the odd one out ...
... but then again it may not be. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] By way of a hint, I have added another location: Anduin River Bag End Cirith Ungol Orodruin Rivendell [ September 02, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

Cirith Ungol because there wasn't very any major battle around there
Bag end- the uprising aganest Sharkey Orodruin- siege of Barad-Dur/ desturcution of the ring Anduin- taking of Osgiliath Rivnedell- aganest Angmar

Another hint, another location ...
Anduin River Bag End Cirith Ungol Goblin Tunnels Orodruin Rivendell That should help. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

No one was hurt while aruging over the Ring in Rivendell.

You have the location, Lindol, but not the explanation, although you are very close indeed.
A little more detail may assist: Anduin River - near Gladden Fields Bag End Cirith Ungol - just outside Shelob's lair and in the top chamber of the Tower Goblin Tunnels Orodruin - on the slopes and at Sammath Naur Rivendell

Rivendell is the OPO because...ummm...the Ring didn't change masters here. In all the other places it passed from someone to another.

At last! You are correct, Evisse. They are all locations where the identity of the Ringbearer changed, with the exception of Rivendell. Well done. The thread is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh. Thanks, Saucy. Oy - I'm really really weak at geography and places and such and ME is no exception, but - here's my humble attempt at a riddle:

Nope. Think of something that has to do with people.

Rohan because it was never inhabited by elves?
And yes, Gondor WAS inhabited by elves in the past. (think Edhellond)
