**The Saucepan Man** · 10-15-2004, 09:43 AM

Well, I'm not giving another letter since that would give it away. And that, in a sense, is another clue.

arcticstorm · 10-20-2004, 06:32 PM

Nob?
worked at the prancing pony
"nob, he came and told me that two black men were at the door"--butterbur

a doorknob is used to open a door

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-21-2004, 02:48 AM

You are most correct, arcticstorm. Well done.

The chronicler in question was Merry, whom Nob found after shouting at the black figures stooping over him. The other clues you got spot on.

The thread is yours ...

arcticstorm · 10-23-2004, 07:47 PM

B
This name is shared by man and beast, he chose the place of his abuse after being released at the black chasm

HerenIstarion · 10-30-2004, 02:29 AM

Bill the Pony, I suppose?

arcticstorm · 10-31-2004, 12:56 PM

quite correct HerenIstarion

HerenIstarion · 11-01-2004, 01:20 AM

Thanks

L is the next.

Give me, please, the name of the one who made many refuse, father of the first of the three of the same name

Turambar · 11-02-2004, 10:41 AM

Lenwë?

He was the leader of the Nandor, part of the Avari ("refusers") who abandoned the Great Journey, and the father of Denethor, after whom two Edain were named.

HerenIstarion · 11-02-2004, 02:37 PM

Indeed

As I can't recall no names starting with ë, I suggest you offer us a next test with a capital e

cheers

Turambar · 11-02-2004, 04:34 PM

E:

His lineage was questioned by some, though he sounds like one who rode an elf-coach.

HINT: Gondor

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-18-2004, 10:09 PM

Eldacar?

Turambar · 11-19-2004, 11:45 AM

Correct - good job.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-19-2004, 11:32 PM

Between the seer and hearer, the taker of the repented, found in the longest.

HINT: Wait for it.

NightKnight · 11-20-2004, 10:19 AM

Rauros!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-22-2004, 12:54 AM

Your thread, NK.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-06-2004, 02:34 AM

Herr NightKnight von Schweden, wo sind Sie jetzt?

NightKnight · 12-18-2004, 01:16 PM

Ich bin nicht hier, nicht viel, so jemand anderes sollen fortschreiten...

In English: Anyone can have it.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-10-2005, 10:08 PM

In the twilight, Ainu-educated, with slumbering desire for the Sea.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-12-2005, 11:14 PM

Elwe Singollo?

In the twilight: leader of the Sindar- elves of the twilight
Ainu-educated: learned from Melian, his wife
Slumbering desire for the sea: Even though he had sea longings, he never sailed, finding enough of Valinor in the presence of Melian.

[edit] Since he's also Elu Thingol and that still begins with E I suppose I ought to include it.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-13-2005, 10:06 PM

The answer begins in S, which was the last letter of the previous puzzle.

But Elwë Singollo is eerily close. In fact, I think the correct answer is in your post somewhere.

Anywhen, welcome back!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-14-2005, 12:30 AM

How could I be so silly

.

Well then, let me modify my answer to Sindar , for mostly the same reasons as above.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-16-2005, 07:02 PM

Take the thread, Thunder Mistress!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-17-2005, 03:40 PM

Lone blossom, love struck and erratically following.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-17-2005, 09:57 PM

Lone blossom: Last blossom of Telperion.
Love struck: Loves Arien, Maia of the Sun.
Erratically following: Erratically follows Arien, so sometimes they show up together.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-17-2005, 11:00 PM

Very nice, O quick one! You may proceed.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-19-2005, 11:10 PM

The black, the mightiest, the fallen (literally).

I daresay, this one's quite a piece of lembas.

Nuranar · 01-19-2005, 11:22 PM

Ancalagon:

Surnamed "the Black,"
Mightiest of the dragon-host,
Fell "upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin."

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-19-2005, 11:25 PM

The thread is thine, fellow "Fall of the North" player!

Nuranar · 01-19-2005, 11:40 PM

Dearly-held payment, sheen of starlight, great in size.

*yawn* It's too late to be witty.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-19-2005, 11:52 PM

. . . Thingol rewarded [the Dwarves for their aid] with many fair pearls . . . One there was as great as a dove's egg., and its sheen was as starlight on the foam of the sea; Nimphelos it was named, and the chieftain of the Dwarves of Belegost prized it above a mountain of wealth.

TS 10

Nuranar · 01-20-2005, 09:08 AM

Your go!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-21-2005, 12:12 AM

The taunter with broken teeth and broken neck.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-24-2005, 09:51 PM

Anyone? Anybody at all?

Nuranar · 01-24-2005, 10:25 PM

Any one at all?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-24-2005, 10:39 PM

He was an Elf.

OK, that was three clues.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-25-2005, 02:52 AM

Saeros, it is!

Quote:

Now one there was in Doriath, of the people of the Nandor, high in the counsels of the King; Saeros was his name. . . [H]e taunted him. . .Then Turin in great anger took up a drinking-vessel, and cast it at Saeros; and he was grievously hurt (perhaps broken teeth?).

*************

Then Saeros fleeing in terror before him fell into the chasm of a stream, and his body was broken (body including neck?) on a great rock in the water.

-From the Tale of Turin Turambar, modifications by, of course, yours truly.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-25-2005, 09:02 PM

. . . could be found in Narn i Hîn Húrin, in the Unfinished Tales.

Nonetheless, you are correct!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-25-2005, 11:26 PM

My copy of UT is at my parents house. A serious impediment for me.

Divider of the Great who eases the crossing and must be well protected.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-26-2005, 09:16 PM

Sirion?

Divider of the Great: It divided Beleriand (the Great Land of the First Age of the Sun) in two?

Eases the crossing: Errrrrrrrr . . .

Must be well protected: In it is one of passes through Beleriand that Morgoth wanted to take, so it was well protected--until Bragollach, that is.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-27-2005, 06:15 PM

Nope.
