Riddle help needed.

Okie, been twisting my/our brains over this one:

They say it was part of a man,
and that it was for those who went by sea.
Where once radiance, then it did wan
Leaving unending evening for all to see.

I'm thinking it might be one of the two trees of Valinor, who once
extinguised by Melkor turned everything into evening/night. It's not
Calcirya, the pass in which the light passed onto Tol Eressea.

Anyone know the answer to this one and care to enlighten me? :slight_smile:

Posibly Mindon Eldalieve, the Tower of Ingweon Tuna used as a
lighthouse...dark, light, dark, light...get it?
Polo

Maybe, but there is no writing of the light in the Mindon waning,
which to me tends to rule it out..

Okie, been twisting my/our brains over this one:

They say it was part of a man,

A man's name given to a place. (?)

and that it was for those who went by sea.

Straight translation I would say.

Where once radiance, then it did wan
Leaving unending evening for all to see.

Light house, maybe.

I doubt very much that it would be the trees.

聽聽Oystein, I don't KNOW the answer but I have some ideas. I am NOT going to broadcast the results of my research to all and sundry so if you want my ideas pls reply to me privately.

聽聽I say the same to anybody who wants help with a riddle - I will help you, if I can, as an individual, but no way will I broadcast the result for any lazy b* to pick up.

聽聽Richard.
