The Riddles

Solve these riddles and great power shall be yours. Fail to solve them and another may claim it for themselves.
The riddles shall be struck out as they are solved. New ones shall be made intermittently. Speculation is encouraged, but remember that this is a quest and you should be quiet in your considerations. It would not prove wise to allow others to pirate your thoughts and claim the treasure.



1:
Five there are, nestled under the path,
Fire and Shadow and the Crusher's wrath.
Piercer and Power also lie in waiting,
Bathed with light from the liquid fire burning.
Dancing shadows against gleaming green,
To spot the treasure your eye must be keen.
Not West, North, or South lies the chamber
Within the inner circle lies the bubbling danger.
To retrieve the five, your balance must be great
Lest you be bathed in the fire you so hate.

2:
Four there lie in the bone-chilling cold,
High in the air against a mountain old.
Seen from the place that takes its name
from the bare-handed warrior of Rohan fame.
A slippery ascent awaits those who try
To claim the treasure for which many would die.
When Crusher or Piercer or Power or Blade are yours,
A terror you shall be in the unending wars.

3:
Gray stone within white walls,
Miner and Architect hide behind the halls.
Lurking within a place rarely visited
Lie the two sets so greatly coveted.
Clouds swirl by the place of hiding,
Where only special Guards make their living.

4:
The great spur,
Like the bow of a ship.
Small leap forth and stop,
With feet upon the rock.
There lies but one,
Unlike the others.
With great patience,
The Doombringer awaits.
 
Solved the second.
The location named after someone from rohan has to be the tower and horn of Helm Hammerhand in the Hornburg.
From there you can see an anvil and chest at the slopes of the snow top of one of the mountains above the Keep of the Hornburg.

It was empty already :(
 
-_- I was gonna take that the next time it was Helm's Deep.
Cheating admins...

LAWL

I saw it as well but deduced it was taken by that time.
 
For the record, the one in Helms Deep was spotted before I even made the riddle. Just didn't want to leave it out.
 
It is funny that all 3 were solved within a day (more accurately 8 hours) of the posting.

And in my case I already immediately knew the area and headed straight for it; it took me less than a minute to find it after reaching that area. :D
 
Fire, Shadow, Crusher, Piercer, Blade, Power, Miner, and Architect have all been found.
The Doombringer still awaits discovery.
 
Solved number 4, easy peasy!
I didn't take the stuff as the game was still Minas Morgul.
Good luck getting it before me next game.
Tip: It's in the Edoras map
