Serutan?

Urwen · 05-08-2023, 04:03 AM

and as for 1, it's BARD+QV/ER/VR.

Oh, I know, it's Darber, the less known relative of Beren. He didn't just have one elven wife. He had two! You see, Nimloth and Finduilas never died. He took them with him.

Pervinca Took · 05-08-2023, 06:26 AM

1. Poet hailed Queen Victoria in confusion?
2. Steamy and hot! Stir it well for her, and extract nothing.
3. Shift around raven country to arrive here?
4. Roast rat!? In consternation, find him!
5. Why, we ask, does she disturb the famous water?
LAURELIN: Are they rhymefully quarrelin' under its branches?
SERUTAN: Mud spelled backwards, according to the Harvard Lampoon.

Sorry, 1 is a bard, but 'bard' is not an element. VR is, though.

Urwen · 05-08-2023, 08:09 AM

Is it a Tolkien bard? Or a specific bard? Cause the only bards I know of are Daeron and Maglor, neither of which has both V and R in their name.

Pervinca Took · 05-08-2023, 12:11 PM

It's a poet. A Tolkien poet.

He only wrote one poem before he was killed, but I think it was a pretty significant one.

Also, 'hailed' is one of the elements.

Urwen · 05-08-2023, 12:54 PM

And that one poem interests me a lot. He is Dirhavel (HAILED+VR)

Urwen · 05-08-2023, 01:56 PM

And 3 must be VERNA (from RAVEN)

Urwen · 05-08-2023, 02:17 PM

Now I wonder, does CALION mean 'roast' somehow?

Pervinca Took · 05-08-2023, 05:04 PM

DIRHAVEL: Poet hailed Queen Victoria in confusion?
2. Steamy and hot! Stir it well for her, and extract nothing.
3. Shift around raven country to arrive here?

5. Why, we ask, does she disturb the famous water?

Not Calion. That clue is much easier than you are making it.

No to Verna. For raven, choose a specific raven.

Urwen · 05-08-2023, 05:31 PM

About 3, is the raven Roac/Carc?

Urwen · 05-08-2023, 05:32 PM

And for 4, is it just ROAST RAT rearranged?

Pervinca Took · 05-10-2023, 03:08 PM

Yes to both.

Urwen · 05-10-2023, 03:42 PM

Cardolan (ROAC LAND)

Urwen · 05-10-2023, 04:04 PM

And 4 is Tarostar.

Pervinca Took · 05-10-2023, 04:29 PM

DIRHAVEL: Poet hailed Queen Victoria in confusion?
A Steamy and hot! Stir it well for her, and extract nothing.
CARDOLAN: Shift around raven country to arrive here?

Excellent work!

(Y + EVIAN)

P.S. I am assuming the stress falls on the first syllable of Dirhavel. I get tired of reusing answers I've used before and trying to write different clues for them.

Urwen · 05-10-2023, 04:30 PM

The password is DACTYLS, perhaps. In which case, Y must be Yavien.

See above.

One to go!

Urwen · 05-11-2023, 05:17 AM

I cannot find an anagram for steamy and hot, sorry.

Pervinca Took · 05-11-2023, 12:57 PM

Maybe you forgot to extract nothing?

Urwen · 05-11-2023, 01:59 PM

Even then, I get STEAMY HT, and that doesn't lead anywhere either. Of course, there is MAY, but the rest of the letters are STEHT, which doesn't translate to a hobbit surname.

Pervinca Took · 05-11-2023, 03:06 PM

It's not a *surname* you want.

All you need is STEAMY HT.

Urwen · 05-12-2023, 03:41 AM

There are no names that contain those letters, are there? Unless it's an alternate name.

Pervinca Took · 05-12-2023, 03:54 AM

It's an obscure hobbit first name, but I have used her before. When I needed a colour in one of the 'different shades' passwords that Huey gave me ideas for with his original 'rainbow' one.

Think 'semi-precious stone.'

Urwen · 05-12-2023, 03:57 AM

Amethyst?
