the first one is the ocean

the others are not right yet - maybe you want to have another go?

#me passes by and looks curiously at the black board, then grabs a piece of coal and starts writing on a piece of pergament.

Dear Morgaine,

I would also like to give it a try, as I like riddles,too.
Could the second be greed and the third hope ?

Greetings to all in Trollsbane.

If you look at the second and third ones they could be money and time.

2. At my whim a country crumbles, from its ruin another stumbles, kill each other at my desire, ever-expanding, a new empire. Born to me are kings and queens, sacrilege for religious schemes. Many I ruin, thousands I devour, greater are those that i empower. What am I?

If a country runs out of money it crumbles, countrys are interdependan if one falls it have negative effects on others. Wars are usually based on money or things that can be used to make money. If you lose all your money you are ruined, but if you have alot you will be empowered.

3. Since the beginning, I am the after. But I am merely the revealer of hidden truth, the teller of what is to come. What am I?

Time has always been around it always will be. As time progresses hidden truths are revealed. And it is a well known saying "Only time will tell"

One hand have I, and four fingers. I am swallowed but not eaten. What am I?

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Mon May 27, 2002 10:52 am

Amethyst ring to the correct person

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Mon May 27, 2002 2:37 pm

@Jandro: nay my friend - you got it wrong

@Likwid Air: 2. riddle: i will give you a hint - does money itself kill? the riddle says that it destroys cities and kills people and that whole countries vanish and other empires are born... what would do such a thing?

3. riddle: since the beginning i am the after - so this sounds more like some prophecy?

and about your riddle - i still have to think hard.

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Tue May 28, 2002 11:33 am

Ahh morgaine nice to see you again. I honestly have no idea about the other ones

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Wed May 29, 2002 11:37 am

What about this one:

To unlock my hidden beauty you need many keys. But before you unlock me you need to open me. I am high on my right and low on my left when you face me. What am I?

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Fri May 31, 2002 2:52 pm

it is a book, isnt it?

@likwid: second was WAR and third was APOCALYPSE

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Sat Jun 01, 2002 8:49 am

Oh, now i see.

Nope wrong answer, what do keys have to do with books?

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Sat Jun 01, 2002 2:24 pm

@likwid:

i thought about the meaning of keys and locks in metapher
every good book has its hidden beauty that would make one go on reading.
so when you face a book on its beginning it is low at the left because you havent read much out of it and therefore high on the right.

but i will think hard. maybe you would give me a hint for the first riddle?

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Sun Jun 02, 2002 1:47 pm

I can see what you are getting at, but i am afraid that you are wrong. Think about the first statements as not metaphors but facts.

As for a clue for the first riddle:

You see this everyday, mainly in the morning, noon and dusk.

You have to get it now

P.S Check your messages.

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sun Jun 02, 2002 4:36 pm

The sun?

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Mon Jun 03, 2002 12:14 am

so the first one has to be a tube for brushing the teeth - and as for the second one... i am still thinking hard

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Mon Jun 03, 2002 1:02 am

Sorry. still wrong but toothbrush is still close, one hint:

Does a toothbrush have 3 fingers?

As for the second it is not the sun, keep thinking.

Korwin · Post by **Korwin** » Mon Jun 03, 2002 4:44 am

a fork

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Mon Jun 03, 2002 7:39 am

Correct, finally.

Good work Korwin, although it was an easy one. Try my second.

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 12:53 pm

Someone have guess...

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Fri Jun 07, 2002 12:45 am

i give up - i cannot think of anything else than the book - strange - but hopefully someone else will find the answer to this riddle

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Fri Jun 07, 2002 10:52 am

Hint: it is a musical instrument.

Bye the way Darkend blade says he is thinking about leaving illarion, is this true?

Drizzt Do Urden · Post by **Drizzt Do Urden** » Sat Jun 08, 2002 1:59 am

Drizzt passes the board and sees the large number of notes. He reads through all the notes... by reading the hint from Likwid Air a smile comes about his euphemistic face. He takes a piece of pergament and a feather and starts writing:

"Harpsichord - a wonderful instrument"

He directed his view briefly up to the starlit sky. A lovely melody sounds in his thoughts...He leaves a further riddle on the rest of the paper:

"It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Drizzt Do'Urden
Those, who call me a hero, often speak only of my combat skills and do not know anything of my principles, to which I use my swords. I accept their blindness as that, which it is."

With a smile he hangs the note over the others and disappears just as shadeful as he has come.

#me passes the board and sees the hint that Likwid Air left for her. #me reads through it and discovers Drizzt´s note. #me is happy to see Drizzt take part in this game of riddles. #me forms the magical words "it is the silence, my friend". #me smiles. #me walks away.

I got a good riddle...

What is greater than God,
More evil than the Devil,
Poor people have it,
Rich people need it,
And if you eat it you die.

Heheehe good luck

Guardian Angel · Post by **Guardian Angel** » Mon Jun 10, 2002 6:46 am

The answer is Nothing

A similar riddle was once asked already.

Likwid Air · Post by **Likwid Air** » Tue Jun 11, 2002 12:36 am

That riddle is so old, i am sick of people repeating riddles and asking ones from the hobbit, try and make up your own people.

By the way the answer is not harpsichord but a piano. So i suppose the answer is somewhat correct.
