[ >>> zpět <<< ] Odpovědi na hádanky na truhlách temných elfů DAY NIGHT The light one breaks but never falls.
His brother falls but never breaks.
HANGMAN Swollag, the famous moredhel craftsman,
guarantees his work until the end of time.
FIRE The chill of its death, You may soon mourn. But though it dies,
It cannot be born.
RAIN You see it about in field and town, It cannot get up,
But will oft fall down.
THE DEAD They feel no pain, No sorrow, no greed. They have no anger,
No hatred, nor need.
SMOKE Though easy to spot, when allowed to plume, It is hard to see,
When held in a room.
EYES Be you ever so quick, With vision keen, By your eyes, We are
never seen. Unless, perchance, It should come to pass, You see our
reflection, In a looking glass.
RING A precious gift, this, Yet it has no end or beginning,
And in the middle, nothing.
SHADOW Silently he stalks me, Running as I run, Creeping as I creep.
Dressed in black, He disappears at night, Only to return with
the sun.
GLOVES Buckets, barrels, baskets, cans;
What must you fill with empty hands?
ARROW It flies without wings, Strikes without beak, teeth, or talons.
It has no eyes in its pointed head,
but it can kill birds in flight.
STAIRS Up and down they go, but never move...
CANDLE He gets short when he gets old. He goes out then it gets cold.

slow it down. A thousand soldiers cannot beat it,
it can knock down trees with a single push.
BLOOD Moredhel brothers, make it rain, Kingdom rivers, crimson pain!
RIVER An untiring servant it is, carrying loads across muddy earth.
But one thing that cannot be forced,
is a return to the place of its birth.
SWORD With sharp edged wit, And pointed poise, It can settle disputes,
Without a noise.
ICE Power enough to smash ships and crush roofs.
Yet it still must fear the sun.
ALCOHOL Today he is there to trip you up, And he will torture you tomorrow.
Yet he is also there to ease the pain,
When you are lost in grief and sorrow.
DELEKHAN Death to our Enemies! no Living adversary shall
Escape the new King of these isles.
He will lead usto glory And provide Newlands for our people!
TREASURE Moredhel And Pantathian, Guarding Our Lid,
Did Close Her Ever So Tightly.
HOLE It can hold you, But you cannot hold it. And the more you remove,
The bigger it will get.
RUST It can pierce the best armor, And make swords crumble with a rub.
Yet for all its power, It can't harm a club.
VICTORY With this one thing alone, you will have defeated
even the strongest foe.
EYE TO EYE Three fools did once sacrifice, To win a contest long ago.
Dobe Oyle, a Kingdom lad, gave his blood to start.
A goblin man, Ethorat, hacked out his dying heart.
Sou Oyle, Dobe's sister, won, she cast away her soul.
THORN He got it in the woods and brought it home in his hand because
he couldn't find it. The more he looked for it the more he
felt it. When he finally found it he threw it away.

What must you add to make it weigh fifteen?
HAIR Kingdom fools are born without, A lot of this, there is no doubt.
EGGS They go up white, but come down yellow and white.
NOTHING We love it more than life. We fear it more than death.

you are ready to see what waits on the other side.
CHEST At last you may solve this.
MILK You can spin, wheel and twist. But it can turn without moving.
BARD Who works when he plays, and plays when he works?
DIE Prince Arutha, from his lofty perch, Will find our troops without
a search. His men will fall, his castle too,
And then what will Prince Arutha do?
SILENCE Names give power. Magic to control. But what is broken,
by naming it?
WRONG The language of men, can be mastered.
But what Kingdom word is always pronounced wrong?

PEACE Widows and orphans, Parents and kin.
This is disturbed most by riots and war.

It runs clear around castles, without taking a step.
SUNSHINE Never resting, never still. Moving silently, hill to hill.
It does not walk, run or trot, All is cool where it is not.
NAME Passed from father to son, And shared between brothers.
Its importance is unquestioned, Though it is used more by others.
NOISE What goes with a wagon that doesn't benefit the wagon,
but the wagon cannot move without?
COFFIN The one who made it, didn't want it. The one who bought it,
didn't need it. The one who used it, never saw it.
COLTS What has a mare, That the cow has not?
OUTSIDE This side of a wolfhound has the most hair.
CANDLE Its orange eye blinks. The burning tears flow.
But what its sorrow is, None may ever know.

Only at rest, Do they touch the ground.

often shed on her behalf, Yet never has she broken a heart.
SPIDER In all the world, none can compare, To this tiny weaver,
his deadly cloth So silky and fair.
BREATH You can see it in winter, never in summer. Even though it is
as light as a feather, the mightiest moredhelin the North
can't hold it for long.
YESTERDAY Every creature in the world has seen it.
But to their dying day they'll never see the same one again.
BOTTLE Kingdom soldiers will look like it, When the headsman gives them
a lop. For then, like it, they'll have a neck,
But not a head on top.

That grips our deadly swords so strong?
HORSEMAN Six legs, two heads, two hands, one long nose.
Yet he uses only four legs wherever he goes.

SNAIL Bloodless and boneless it travels about. Yet it never leaves home.
BELL You hear it speak, For it has a hard tongue. But it cannot breathe,
For it has not a lung.
SHOE Has a tongue, But never talks. Has no legs, But sometimes walks.

It sits on four legs, And smokes a pipe.

When they escape, You itch all day.

Yet he always works, And never romances.
PATH All across the countryside, to front doors he travels.
But you never invite him in.

push will do. Some in the road would have fought and soon died,
Were it not close at hand, to let them inside.
SURF Pounds all day, Beats all night, Never rests.
WATERFALL This old one runs forever, But never moves at all.
He has not lungs, nor throat, Still, a mighty roaring call.
DICE You can count on them, though some would rather curse them.
You can speak dear to them, though well all know 'tis just in vain.
LOGS They have not lips nor tongues, Yet lead them green to the pit,
And as they die you will hear, Them sputter, hiss and spit.

As battles are joined without egress,
Save comfort in the earth's caress.

horse. Since neither wanted to spur his mare,
What must they do to make it fair?
WALNUT A box beneath a tree, Inside some tasty meat.

PIPE Its tail is round and hollow, Seems to get chewed a bit,
But you'll rarely see this thing, Unless the other end is lit.

sees only rarely?
GLAMREDHEL Where once there were three, Now only are two, Ancient kin ours,
Whom we sent to their doom.

SAWDUST A carpenter left some wood, Would not take it back.

Staring back at me.

And start to dance.

No less, no more.

Like a sharply spoken command, Or a tiny vessel upon the seas.
