So I latched onto “Deck” and looked into ships.

The Alcarondas is a ship with Golden Masts (though I admit I can’t find the other colors)

It’s the ship that anchored at Valar when the last king of Númenor challenged them.

Taking memories if metaphorical could mean the sinking of Númenor.

Deck me out in fiery colours:
Gold and red and yellow too.
Feed me well with times and places;
Your memories I'll take from you.

In contrast to the colours, the first line is pretty much just there to fill space and make an observation about the colours.

I don't think it's giving too much away to say that the answer is a class of people, places, or things, and the colours are three specific examples.

Oh, I think I may have it.


It's dragons.




Deck me out in fiery colours:
Gold and red and yellow too -
Glaurung is gold; Smaug is red
Feed me well with times and places;
Your memories I'll take from you. -
Glaurung, as he did with Nienor

It is not dragons; dragons were a red (or gold, but probably not yellow) herring that I've been trying so hard not to rule out until someone said it. So thank you!

To the best of my knowledge, Glaurung is the only instance of actual memory theft in Tolkien. So the question becomes: how can you 'take' someone's memories without taking them away?

Via a Palantir or Mirror of Galadriel?

Sorry, but these are only instances I can think of.

Of course, there is Pensieve, but it's not Tolkien thing.

Is it books?

The Red Book Of Westmarch
The Golden Book Of the Eldar
The Yellow Book I can’t find a specific one.

But it fits the rest pretty well and you said slightly metaphorical so that would work too.

The Golden Book of Tavrobel was written by Eriol/Aelfwine in the 'ending' of the Book of Lost Tales; and yes, apparently there was a Golden Book of the Eldar too, occupying a similar place in a later version of the story. And Yellowskin was apparently the name of the Took family diary, which was over 900 years old at the time of the War of the Ring.

The idea being that books in Middle-earth were mostly historical, being filled with dates and locations - and also with the memories of the writer, particularly in the Red Book.

Over to you!

I watch the thief sneak

The thief is Bilbo and the lizard is Smaug. This would make the speaker Roac, who sounds like 'rock'.

You’re wrong but only by a hair. Roac doesn’t knock.

I debated including the last two lines might’ve made it too easy. That’s ok though. Absolutely correct

This was all I could think of.


Come, let's traverse a hidden path
Where brambles and trees grow near the strand
You'll give me your oath
And I'll give you your land


(It's far easier than my previous one)

Could be Thingol and Haleth, with the first couple of lines referring either to Brethil or to Nan Dungortheb; the latter two would be the part where the Haladin guard the crossings in exchange for the right to live in Brethil.

Nope. You've already said the answer recently. Because I'm cheeky like that. If you need a hint, you're looking at it.

Or Eol to Aredhel.

Actually there's a whole bunch of 'they met in a forest and wound up getting married' stories in Tolkien...

As for the 'Second House' business... it looks like Cirion is actually in the second line of the House of the Stewards: the ninth steward died without a son, so the stewardship passed to his sister's line.

So I'm thinking Eorl to Cirion, upon Halifirien.

If this is correct I don’t want it I’m quoting it specifically because it’s not my thinking but it fits

Oh, um... I suppose? Here we go then:

Purple the heather that grows on the mountains,
Blue for the mirror that stands all alone.
Green for the jewel, the sigil of honour,
Yellow the crown of the lord of my own.
Orange the standard of he who rules over,
Red for the fire that burns to the bone.


One answer.

I'll take that as a yes.

Galadriel? Celebrimbor designed the original stone as a gift for her.

You shouldn't take it as either a yes or no; it's an explicit abstention.

Not Galadriel - nor 'Brim either.

Unrelatedly, I quite like the idea that the Elessar Galadriel gave Aragorn came from Celebrimbor. It makes her whole gift-giving thing a massive insult at Feanor - she gives the dwarf what she refused him, she gives the Hobbit the light of the things he refused to give anyone, and she gives the Man a present she got from his grandson. (Come to think of it, I doubt Feanor would be happy with her giving out lembas to all and sundry, either.)

I am still taking it as a yes, because Elessar is the only green stone in existence.

And I like this interpretation of them unfriends.

Lothlorien, maybe?


Purple the heather that grows on the mountains,
Blue for the mirror that stands all alone. - Mirror of Galadriel
Green for the jewel, the sigil of honour, - Elessar
Yellow the crown of the lord of my own. - Celeborn's crown, obviously
Orange the standard of he who rules over, - Sauron, the master of all three rings
Red for the fire that burns to the bone. - Mount doom

This would work (but is wrong).

Quote:

The Elessar is a green jewel, you are correct on that.

Quote:

Does he wear one? It's Galadriel's name that refers to a crown (ie, her hair), but she wouldn't be a lord.

Quote:

The standard of Sauron is black blazoned with a red eye. It has no orange.

Quote:

Orodruin is a loooong way from Lorien.

The only orange standard is that of the Glorfindel of Gondolin, who doesn't rule over anything.

Tarn Aeluin?

Purple the heather that grows on the mountains,
Blue for the mirror that stands all alone. - the lake of Tarn Aeluin is filled with mirror-like water, and surrounded by the mountains where heather grows
Green for the jewel, the sigil of honour, - Elessar, from which Aragorn, the descendant of Barahir, took his moniker
Yellow the crown of the lord of my own. - Barahir could be the 'lord' of Tarn
Orange the standard of he who rules over, - I can't find Barahir's standard, but I assume it to be orange
Red for the fire that burns to the bone. - A reference to Dagor Bragollach, and the rivers of lava Morgoth sent forth
