Does it relate to the Riddle Game? Or should "much, much earlier" by taken even more literally than that?

It's later than the Riddle Game.

Edit because it's a new page:

I did not come for a present. I wanted to see if you saw you or not. That was a really wonderful story.

Silmarillion Early?

The Silmarillion was before the Riddle Game :wooper:

Aha, posts snuck in over the page.

So it's somewhere between the Riddle Game and the first Rivendell scene from FOTR. We've actually succeeded in narrowing it down quite a bit...

Does it relate to the gifts that Bilbo left for folks after the long-expected party?

No, before that.

About the Ring?

About the Arkenstone?

Said to another Hobbit?

No to all three!

To Smaug?

Eta
Ah, here it is.

I did not come for presents. I only wished to have a look at you and see if you were truly as great as tales say. I did not believe them.

That's the one!

Ok, next.

Among all pleasures, this is the most unexpected thing!

Is it Frodo about Bilbo?

Post by **Frelga** » Sun Oct 21, 2018 9:45 am

No on all accounts

Post by **Jude** » Sun Oct 21, 2018 12:52 pm

Is it from The Hobbit?
