But the elves' rings did not come from Sauron, and he did not offer them friendship in exchange for "the least of rings" like he did to the dwarves. Remember, that is why they came to Rivendell - they wanted to know why Sauron wanted the "least of rings."


Here's a nice chestnut: a little clumsy and long-winded, but my first attempt at this sort of thing.

Sunlight, Moonlight
Before Sun or Moon
High-Elves Inspiration

Treasure taken
From the High-Elves Land
They burn the Evil Hand

Strife among Kin
Begetter of Woe
Beginning of Sorrows

Heirloom of Half-Elven

Anyone up for another riddle? I might have made mine a little too obvious, but here it goes:

Old these beasts of wisdom are;
Wardens o’ weald near and far
Their power quickly grew
Lest evil would burn and hew
There was a man of many colour
Who drew their wrath and dolor
A fortress of steel once stood tall
Now no longer after his downfall


A Elbereth Gilthoniel
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-díriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, sí nef aearon!

Ha! Can I do one?
