The Riddle-Game

let me know when you need a hint   

 

 

is it Aragorn?    

But what's up with the mouth but voice forgotten?

its Aragorn. he has a voice but he's been forgotten? idk   

Maybe Treebeard but the blood part doesn't quite fit.

I am gonna sneak in another riddle cos I am a rebel.   
probably be ignored tho.   

my arms touch the sky
my feet in the earth lie
long forgot
no one could find me
only a star could heal me
in a ring of white stone
cold to the bare bone
ash and dust
but now I live

Here's a hint: it's a thing/place as well as a person. Fair rather than foul

Fangorn, based on the first two lines. Don't quite get the last two lines.

good guess Halfy, its a hard one. could it be the Withywindle or Old Man Willow?

This kind of celestial anthropomorphism sounds more Greek than Tolkien.

  I dont know much about classical Greek literature, apart from the myths and legends so I dont know how that is.

Well, you know Atlas holds up the sky, you know Gaea was the earth, you know Helios is the Sun with Venus (was a different name I don't remember before being changed to Venus) being a bashful maiden chasing him, and I don't remember what goes on with the Moon.  The seasons change as Persephone goes in and out of Hades.

The closest you have in Tolkien is Earendil as a star.

Laurelyn and Telperion: the trees of Valinor.

In response to Mrs Figg's riddle (sorry Forest) I'm gonna guess the seedling of the White Tree that Aragorn finds at the end of LOTR.

And for Tinuviel's, is it the statues of the Pukel-men at Dunharrow?

nope! Think elves...

Nimrodel?

CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!
The mouth and source bits referred to the river the fellowship walks through in Lothlorien, blood being the people of Dol Amroth who are said to have elven blood thanks to one of Nim's maidens, and she's lost     

Can't believe you thought that would be easy.   

I bind some together, whether they wish it or not;
I come when I'm called, by thought or by knot;
I'm not lightly forgotten, perhaps magically begotten -
And while straight as can be, you will hope I'm not rotten!

Ooooooh! Sam's elvish rope!
