Bestowal

'You have proven yourself an expert riddle-solver. Bilbo and I have of late been contemplating a riddle of the most interesting sort -- one for which no answer is yet known. This riddle seems to bear on the lineage of the House of Elrond itself and may be of great import if it is solved.

'For once we cannot say for sure that the answer truly lies in Imladris, but it is certain that the riddle is concerned with Rivendell more than with any other place.

'Bilbo can tell you more, but I think for the full story of this riddle you will have to speak to others as well.'

Background

A final riddle that bears on Elrond's House in Rivendell is yet to be solved.

    The jewel of the moon,
    Enshrined in the water,
    From mother to daughter
    Is given a boon.

    Landfall on the morrow,
    The isles of the blest.
