This is mostly off the top of my head since I havent given myself a lot of time to think it over. Too much LOTRO! Hehe.
Also I have no idea of its difficulty. Here goes:
Tall I was raised on an arm of black Fingers I have but a body I lack With my grip of stone I hold naught In cunning and malice was I wrought To the North I'm turned purposefully But with my master there I'll never be White I was in days of pride Red I turned when broken I lied
Who/what am I?

Well, this question has sat here for a week already, so I'll answer it. Even though I just asked one a couple questions ago! Oh well. Here is my answer: I'm not really sure which ideas you consider main so I'll go ahead and say all the ones I remember 1. Sending the Ring over the Sea. However, this was quickly dismissed as the Lord of the West would not have received it, as it was Middle-Earth's problem (although they should have gotten rid of Sauron when they had the chance). 2. To throw it into the Sea, and make the lies of Saruman true. But, no one knows what dwells in the Sea and the Ring probably wouldn't have stayed safe there forever. 3. To entrust it to Tom Bombadil. He has the power to resist the enemy for a time, but even getting him to take the ring would take everyone asking him at once. But he would not understand the need. Also, he would not be able to guard the Ring forever, and eventually he would fall and the Ring would be recovered by the Enemy. 4. To use it. Boromir was dead set on this, but it was quickly shot down. Not really a main idea I don't think, but I included it for completeness. That's all I remember.

That's correct Eonwe! Some day I'd love to hear your thought processes for figuring it out (if it didnt just come to you instantly hehe) but for now: It's your turn to ask a question! P.S. Eonwe, Tol Brandir is the right answer, but it's not really in between the pillars of the Argonath. The Argonath is at the northern end of the lake, Nen Hithoel, and Tol Brandir (aka the Tindrock) is at the southern end. On either side of the river from Tol Brandir lie the hills of Amon Hen and Amon Lhaw, West and East respectively. Don't worry though, I won't dock you points

OK here it is! I tried to make this riddle a bit trickier than the last one, let me know if you need a hint But you guys are pretty sharp, I doubt you'll need one: No man am I and no man is me, Two arms ever embrace me, But no being has visited me. Tall I stand, but without feet Yet still I wade the River deep. Ages old I've weathered like stone And but for the birds, alone. Who or what am I?

Saruman was able to sway others with his voice. Even when it was waning, this power was still dangerous. When King Theoden spoke to Saruman, even though he was able to resist it, some of his Riders were still convinced that Saruman was in the right. And after Gandalf had broken his staff and cast him from the Order, and Treebeard had released him from Isengard, I believe Gandalf still warned everyone that he still possessed the power of his voice and could do great harm.

That's a sizable question there Phar I wonder why no one has attempted it yet. Off the top of my head I can easily name the three 'breeds' of Hobbits: Stoors Harfoots Fallohides But the other information I have not committed to memory. Maybe I'll get half credit!

Has this seemingly innocuous question stumped people? Guess I should let Varda answer it then
