Ah, but that was only my second riddle solved. The first was Sophia's, and I wouldn't call that quick or easy in the least. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Thanks for the compliment though. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It is incredible that I've been writing so many riddles lately. Here's another.

'Twas greed, indeed;
Corruption of sorts,
the force that pushed the fleets from port.
Arrogance, a foolish crime,
had led our people forth,
this time.

But I at least have seen the cause,
Indeed, his sweetened tounge it was.
From Minas Tirith did he come,
that sickly fruit, the clever one.

And now, away from home we go,
The final seeds our boats do tow.
The last sons of the greatest men,
we sail away, begin again.

Who am I?
