 Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2004 4:05 pm Post subject: LOTR riddles |
 |
|
Hiya! I know there's some LOTR trivia going on!  *waves* and i created some riddles...
These were honestly written by me....there's only 5 of em so far...but hey the way i figure....if you get it right...I'll send you 1 of 2 things:
1.) A picture or 2 of your fave LOTR guy (if it can be found...)
-Or-
2.) I'll write a ficlet for you w/ your favorite LOTR guy....is that okay?
So here's the first one:
I lost my mother to the sea
And my father to the sky
My brother left to live.
Who am I?
That's it. this is one of them that you have to really know the books...the father one might be a little obscure but I have faith! |

Well after chatting with sindohte I am pleased to say that she has obtained her prize lovingly.
And now for the next winner who will recieve...as i've mentioned before a ficlet starring THEM and Elf/Man or whomever of their choice OR pictures of their fave guy.
Next Riddle:
I fear for my life
and others to come
I fear for my wife; and I fear for my son.
Who Am I?
Hint here...don't think to...modern.
take care and good luck! |

Nah, how about Isildur? He and his 3 oldest sons were killed at Gladden Fields, while only his youngest son Valandil survived because he was in Rivendell with his mom.

Now the challenge. Explain in what way that riddle applies only to Arathorn and not others... 
There are quite a few married fathers in the books
