No, I mean super tricky. But before I make it, I have a question: will you at least try to guess it once it is made?
(Also, I definitely wouldn't get that Beruthiel reference. Definitely not. Because I am a dumb animal who cannot get the obvious.)

You're right, Beruthiel is a bit obscure. Maybe more like this: I am short, Shorter than a dwarf, I like riddles, But not dragons that snort...f. hS |

There's Saturday and Sunday too. And the riddle will be up in less than two hours, so that's plenty o'time.

I got one
Enemy or friend?
You get to choose For in the end We have nothing to lose We endured the harsh fall We endured the winter cold We endured it all And we learned that there are things more valuable than gold Alas, we were not to last The betrayal from within They came upon us hard and fast And brought us to ruin

Hmm. Stanza 2 could be referencing the Noldolante and Helkaraxe, which means someone of Fingolfin or Finarfin's following.
So who in that set were betrayed from within? Not Fiingolfin and Fingon - they died in battle, and it was Maedhros who was betrayed in the Nirnaeth. Not Angrod and Aegnor either, for the same reason. Not Finarfin or Galadriel, who weren't betrayed much at all. Turgon or Finrod - Gondolin or Nargothrond? My feeling is that Turgon was more enamoured of his treasure, which speaks against him (the gold line), but on the other hand, the betrayal and destruction of Nargothrond weren't all that closely connected. So I think I have to go with Turgon, or more generally his people. I admit I have no idea what's going on in the first stanza, though. hS |
