Yey! Ok, here's your new puzzle:

I'm all alone, aloof
my companions long gone
my name stands as proof
that changes have been done.

Oh, and thank you Turambar for your compliment! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Yours is great too, somehow authentic...

Estanesse · 03-05-2003, 01:42 PM

I'm not sure, but is it Lothlorien

I'm all alone, aloof
my companions long gone- in the fourth age the galadrim no longer life in Lothlorien

my name stands as proof
that changes have been done. - The first name of the golden wood was Laurelindorenan
In later days the elves make the name shorter, calling it Lothlorien

Annunfuiniel · 03-05-2003, 02:21 PM

Well, that seems to fit! But sorry, it ain't the answer I'm looking for. Keep on trying pals! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 03-05-2003, 04:25 PM

Mirkwood?

Tar-Palantir · 03-05-2003, 05:42 PM

The Old Forest.

Why are we all guessing of the woods? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-06-2003, 12:03 AM

Yep, stop guessing woods 'cause it ain't one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rochelle · 03-06-2003, 08:11 AM

Hmmm...perhaps Isengard?

Lord Elessar · 03-06-2003, 12:24 PM

well if you have a look at the name i would think it must be Lonely Mountains

Tar-Palantir · 03-06-2003, 01:08 PM

Tol Eressëa

The Last Homely House

New Row (Bag-End)

Amon Rûdh

Amon Sûl

Aylwen Dreamsong · 03-06-2003, 05:35 PM

Meneltarma?

Annunfuiniel · 03-07-2003, 01:17 AM

All wrong! Hmm, maybe I have been too vague...
But Aylwen, getting close!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-09-2003, 12:31 PM

The Sundering Seas.

Rochelle · 03-09-2003, 12:36 PM

Minas Morgal/Ithil?

Annunfuiniel · 03-09-2003, 01:58 PM

No and no.
Hint: this place is surrounded by Ulmo's element.
No trick here, I just want this thing to move on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-09-2003, 02:16 PM

It is a hard one Annunfuiniel!
Is it Númenor? I can’t fit it with your verse, but it’s close to Meneltarma [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ October 12, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

Rochelle · 03-09-2003, 02:18 PM

Hmm..perhaps an island? Númenor ?

Tar-Palantir · 03-09-2003, 02:34 PM

Tol Sirion - because that is where the old Minas Tirith was built?

Annunfuiniel · 03-09-2003, 02:56 PM

You are half way there! Yes, it's an island but no it's not Númenor.
Last hint: the place isn't what it used to be but something else has changed too...

Rochelle · 03-09-2003, 03:14 PM

This is definatly a tricky riddle *lol*

I'm going to go with Almaren.

Annunfuiniel · 03-11-2003, 01:55 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] You really don't have to go that far back in time! And it's something that still exists, look at the maps and you'll find it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-11-2003, 03:03 PM

Himling, used to be Himring - which means changes have been done

Annunfuiniel · 03-11-2003, 03:14 PM

Well hooray, we have the winner! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Makes sense now does it? Himling stands quite alone surrounded by the sea, those "companions" that are gone are the other hills and mountains that were lost in the sea and T-P got the name and change part right.
So the stage is all yours, Tar Palantir! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-11-2003, 07:03 PM

Okely, dokely... I chopped up the Lizard King to make this one interesting for you, helps to sing it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

House upon the hill

Evil lying still

Shadows of the peaks

Witnessing the wild breeze

C'mon baby hide with me

Let's hide

The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill

Rich are the rooms and the beauty there

Strong are the arms and the family fair

And you won't know a thing till you get inside

Salix · 03-11-2003, 07:41 PM

Strange, makes me think of Moria.

elven maiden Earwen · 03-11-2003, 07:57 PM

Edoras

Pallando B.C · 03-12-2003, 02:48 AM

Ilmarin maybe?

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 02:55 AM

Or Gondolin?

Narya · 03-12-2003, 06:47 AM

I would say Gondolin, too.

"evil lying still" - could refere to Maeglin

"and you won´t know a thing till you get inside"
- this one fits very good into the context of Gondolin

Quote:

Yes Annunfuiniel! Tis indeed Gondolin, I had one more verse that was perfect, but I didn't want to make it *too* easy.

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 02:25 PM

Oh gosh, that means it's my turn again! Yeah, it's [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] but still [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] , if you know what I mean. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Yep, here we go:

A land that once was
but isn't any more
and once it bore, alas
the ones that live in lore
and in legends as well
for their fates changed
and so these two could dwell
this land 'til things arranged
and they bid world farewell

There, have fun!

[ March 16, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

Turambar · 03-12-2003, 03:12 PM

Well Numenor is the obvious guess.

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 03:20 PM

Haha, maybe so but it's not the right answer! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-12-2003, 03:42 PM

Beleriand

Annunfuiniel · 03-15-2003, 05:48 AM

No right answer yet. Hmm, think on a bit smaller scale...

elven maiden Earwen · 03-15-2003, 04:17 PM

i dont no Rivendell or Lothlorien

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 01:25 AM

No, though they fit too quite nicely - exept for the last line, Valinor is still in the world, isn't it? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 03-16-2003, 02:49 AM

I am now feeling silly even saying it [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] - but I will, is it Aman?

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 03:56 AM

No, it's not Aman either, but no need to feel silly. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I altered one line slightly to make it more specific. Hope that helps! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 06:28 AM

Are those two Beren and Luthien
If so my answer would be Tol Galen

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 06:41 AM

You found it, Estanesse, well done! (Dor Firn-i-Guinar was the name of Tol Galen while Beren and Luthien dwelled there.) Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
