The Riddle Game

[Alderic]

I'm not much of a riddler, but I'll give it a shot.


The strongest of five from forgotten shores
tainted was he by an evil lore,
defeated by the riders and the trees
he enslaved the little ones happy and free.


This is probably way too easy...but it's all I can come up with right now. I think I'll start practicing a bit.

[Jonathan B.]

Saruman?

[Alderic]

Yep.

[Peter Remling]

King in his own right
Subservient to none
White Friend of Gray
always seen on the run

[Jonathan B.]

shadowfax?

[Peter Remling]

Yes it is !

[Ernildir]

I am exceedingly fat,
Though when I came of great age,
Great riches I had,
And I walked on twelve legs.

[Alderic]

Bombur?

[Ernildir]

Correct. Bombur needed six Dwarves to haul him around when he was older. :p

[Cleddyf]

A serpent swam in a silver urn
A golden bird did in its mouth abide
The serpent drank the water, this in turn
Killed the serpent. Then the gold bird died.

[Ringulf]

An oil lamp!

[Ernildir]

Ever and ever upwards I climb,
Shadow and Light passed me through;
The conflict seemed a timeless time,
Until at last me they slew.

[Ringulf]

Hey Cleddyf, was I correct?

[Peter Remling]

Smoke ?

[Jonathan B.]

Ringulf, Yes you were.
