Anyone ever have this riddle?
Greedy and cruel with dwarven hoard,
which in turn caused death by the sword.
One of the greats in the grey of the Third,
not much more of him has ever been heard.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Fred

Hi all,
since we've been on the subject of riddles, how about this
straightforward looking one that's not on the bobbins site.
He was grey to most
and white to the rest,
but to the little host,
his other name was best.
It's in a 4th age game
I thought it was pretty obvious as Gandalf but I tried that and got
response (...stood forth and answered, "Gandalf." Nothing
happened. The walls seemed as if they were still waiting..). The
artifact is still at the location and I've got another character
there with the rumour for the encounter.
The other top names would be Mithrandir or The white rider but I
can't see how the little host would like those names better than
Gandalf. I'm tempted to try something like Gandalf the grey as a
longer version of the same thing.
Anyone have a definate answer on this. If not I'll keep trying and
let people know how I do.

Might be another little host other than the hobbits.
I think the dwarves call him something like Tharkun. Don't recall
exactly.
Was Tom Bombadil small, I've always thought of him as little, and
have a feeling he referred to Gandalf as his original name, Olorin.
I agree it looks like Gandalf.

Hi,
many thanks to you and Adrian for getting back to me. I like the
idea of the Dwarven name given Gandalf's role in the
hobbit. 'Little' host could refer to the size of the members rather
than the number in the group. I'll have a scout through the hobbit
tonight.
I'll either go for that or Mithrandir and let people know what I
come up with.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi all,
Gordon was on the right track. It was the Dwarven name, THARKUN, which
was the right response.
Cheers,
Chris
