Riddle Thread - White Tower's First Ever Aes Sedai/Der'Manshima Appreciation Week

[Ithillian Turambar]

Rhuidhean?

 

 

*posts for Nya*

[Nyanna al'Meara]

Ithi, this may inflate and/or make uncomfortable your English ego, but just for this I will worship you forever.

 

Now, how to put this...I believe I know the answer, buuuut...there are various options to express the whole idea. Hm.

 

Rand's (fail) jokes? Or should that be Rands humour? Or Rands attempt at Aiel humour?

 

(this is one guess) >.>

[ElusiveAthena]

*rolls around laughing*

 

In a nutshell! (That was very nice of you Ithi).

 

Well done Nya (again). You're very good at this game!

 

Riddle Eleven:

 

I am the breaker of wills, the tamer of spirits and the thief of trust. My sword was drawn in your defence, but turn your back in peril, for I plan to ride and spur the untamed mare.

[Leala]

That sounds like Moridin....

[ElusiveAthena]

It does, but it's not...

[Wildfire Sedai]

Rand??

[ElusiveAthena]

It's a character, but not a *main* character.

 

As I've said before, check carefully in the riddle for clues as to the identity. One important step is finding who the "you" is referring to, which should give a clue.

[Leala]

Rahvin?

[ElusiveAthena]

Not a Foresaken, dear. *smiles beguilingly*

[Daruya]

I'm stumped . . .

[Leala]

Argh.

 

Um.

 

Captain Mellar?

[Daruya]

Ooooh, good guess, Leala! I've been wracking my brain but couldn't think of anything. Mellar fits, though! *waits to see if Leala is correct*

[ElusiveAthena]

YES!! "Hanlon" would have been fine as well. Well done Leala. I would like to give points, but instead, I'll sprinkle some glitter over you...

 

*Leala's hair becomes a silvery mist of glitter*

 

Riddle Twelve: Shame is white.

[Leala]

Yayayayayay! And I'm shiny again!

 

Hm. I'm guessing streith for this one.

[ElusiveAthena]

Streith is good, but that was an answer to one of my earlier riddles. So no...

[Leala]

Ah. Good to know. :) I'll wait for someone else to guess, then.

[Daruya]

Gai'shain robes?

[Nyanna al'Meara]

Yay Leala!!! :D that was a nifty one!

 

Woot Dar... :)

[ElusiveAthena]

Correct, Daruya! I'm having to think quickly here... Kept on my toes constantly *dances up and down on the gravel*

 

My voice can be discord or lovely to hear,

I sing of the sagas; heroes without peer.

Silver my dress, with adornments of gold,

Priceless in value, though easily sold.

The cherished companion of a man, (not his wife),

And I've stayed with him constant, the love of his life.

Although I have no hands to grasp him, slim hips

I exist but to feel the touch of his lips.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Ooh! Is it Tom's flute?

[Elgee]

The Horn?

[Leala]

Oo! Those are both really good!

[ElusiveAthena]

Ithi got it right, but the "Horn" is a good guess (although it is pure gold, not silver with gold adornment).

 

Riddle Thirteen:

 

My lips are red as passion, but

My eyes are cold as winter's heart.

A cloak of black is my embrace,

My song obscures my hideous face.

Listen - you will give me your whole,

You smile; my kiss drains you of soul.

[beanie]

Draghkar!

[Leala]

Dementors! No, wrong sould-draining monster. xD Cyan's answer looks good, though. :)
