MEPBM - riddle From: Patrick F. McGehearty <patrick@convex.COM> Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Just for followup to my earlier requests for ideas on the riddles: For the riddle: > A Numenorean name was his to bear > A city once known as Lond Ernil fell to his care. > Having victory there he brought battle to field and gate > And in victory again did he give his daughter to mate. Answer: Imrahil For the riddle: >A gentle being made mad by ancient power > From the sun did he cravenly cower. > A miserable life of full of fearful loss > An extended life, but at what cost? > Following them, ever did follow he > Til he found a peaceful end to his long misery. I have tried: Smeagol, Frodo, Hurin, and Turin I have not tried: Gollum I would think Gollum should be covered by Smeagol, but I'm going to try it just to confirm, unless someone has a better idea? - patrick Up
