He is red. The images do not lie.
![]() Also, in a freaky coincidence, the site just spewed his quote. ![]()

A simple one:
Soul of flame, Dark my fame, Fateful is my name. My hair burns, My rage churns, As dark cloud my mood shows.

Easy. It's the dude who started it all (aka Feanor aka Curufinwe)

Thought Feanor would come up. But no! It's a different very easy answer.

That I did not expect to come up at all. No. Not even close. Look in other places for the answer. This riddle is supposed to be very straightforward, plus a tiny bit of poetic license.

Well, it does describe his life, and his rage towards Morgoth and co.
But if he's not it, how about Smaug? Does Smaug's hair burn? Cos if so, he's a perfect fit.

Because objects don't have hair? Nor do they rage.

Unless it's a 'living object', but only 'living objects' are Gurthang and Troll's purse.

So there's no mention of wings (
![]() In fact, given 'fateful is my name', I'd go so far as to specifically guess DURIN'S BANE. hS PS: Are those two really the only talking objects? It seems like the sort of thing Tolkien would use a lot... does the Ring speak in the books, or just the movie? |

![]() It is not Durin's Bane, but Huey is correct in focusing on the fateful name. And correct in assuming the literal dark cloud.

So you mentioned trees, which have hair (ie. leaves). A tree of some kind?

"A dark cloud rose above both Thangorodrim and Fingon's heart."

When did I mention trees in conjunction with this riddle? Not a tree. Nor Fingon's heart - if that is what you intended as the answer in your last post.

You did mention them in your 'talking objects' list earlier, though...

I would assume the classic fountain of lava coming out of the top of an erupting volcano.
Come to think of it, Pele's hair is an actual form of lava. hS |

Well, I was going to ask what I have in my pocket, but we all know that's a terribly unfair (not even) riddle, so I guess I'll just have to come up with something else. I'll make this easy on me and everyone else. It turns out I'm terrible at coming up with riddles.

Right, so it's either Sam or Beleg, and since not many people are familiar with Silm, my guess is Sam.

Never mind, I just thought of it.
I was brought forth And in turn, death I brought I spilled the wrong blood All because of love (Don't pay too much attention to the third line, it's a poetic description and was put there to complete the rhyme.)

Gurthang?
Specifically, before its reforging. [Checks] Anglachel, then. It was brought forth from Doriath by Beleg out of love for Turin, but was also the direct cause of Beleg's death (it woke Turin - and indeed, by spilling his blood). hS |

Nope. This one is factual, but somewhat sneaky. And I told you the third line is poetic, as in the speaker didn't technically spill blood, but...

Could it be the Arkenstone? Bilbo brought it forth from the Lonely Mountain, and because of love for Thorin stole it and started the Battle of Five Armies, which led to Thorin's death.

Nope. Here's a hint: stick 'em with the pointy end.

I like how you immediately solved my 'pointy end' password clue, but cannot draw the connection between that and this riddle...

Someone make one, please?
