Re: The Riddle Game
That's right.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Re: The Riddle Game
Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
I joined the sun and moon to conquer the Abhorred,
And he in mortal death indeed did groan.
Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
A cleaver of iron and retriever of peerless light did I
conceive and shape and temper, fit and hone.
Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
Who birthed a dragon trumping truly Angband's own?
Know ye and be sure t'was I alone.
Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
For I hold great renown.

Yes. He was a good smith.

Re: The Riddle Game
Where into a mirror he was gazing,
I stand where once did the father,
When he saw that a crown he was wearing,
And he wore it ever after.

Oops! got my wires crossed! I was thinking Celebrimbor with Sauron and the creation of the rings of power.

Re: The Riddle Game
A couple more good guesses, but there is one that can fit the riddle even more precisely.
