Is it Celebrian?
Born of gold and silver - her mother was Galadriel and her father Celeborn Linked morning and evening - linked Galadriel to Arwen Freed from darkness but not shadow - She was healed after her ordeal, but the joy of living left her Left love for light - left for Valinor instead of staying with Elrond Reunion was eternal separation - she was eternally separated from Arwen |
Absolutely spot on...... Poor Elrond really was torn in all directions wasn't he? Always felt I would have liked to have known more about Celebrian .....
|
Me too! So much could have been said between the two of them...
Born of love between the fairest, I destroyed my father's dearest. I created a desire, I am a tormenting fire, Still my heart is black. I put the story on its track. |
Fëanor?
|
Correct! :)
|
We're 2 of the 5
Came across in the 3rd Are we even alive? Of us there are few words. |
Alatar and Pallando the 2 Blue Wizards (with Saruman, Gandalf and Radagast forming the 5 Istari) who came to ME in the Third age and disappeared into the far East never to be heard of again..?
|
Very correct! :D
|
*bump*

Star-browed, the lonely bride
wept bitterly, admidst the sheep Tree-lord would not home abide; He roamed too long across the deep. An easy one....but rhyming after a fashion...... |
yet another bitter love story...
Erendis pining for Aldarion.
|
Is there any other kind?
Yep .... my limited knowledge of Elvish translates Erendis as lonely bride, known as Elestirne because of the jewel she wore, living in the sheep lands of Emerie... Aldarion = lord of trees... :) All yours...... And it was a seriously dysfunctional relationship - but I always think people who think that Tolkien is a boy's own adventure writer should read this one..... he really knew people :rolleyes:
|
yep, very disfunctional, very realistic ;)
Uprooted and lonely,
Yet a joy to behold, A home for latecomers From the days of old. |
Well since noone else has had a shot... Tol Eressea - the lonely Isle that was transport and home to the elves...
|
That's probably right, but I'll guess the other one. Numenor
|
Mithalwen has it.

Balrog's bane,
Came back again- Twice aided a flight From the forces of night Person of might Clad in white light. |
Gandalf?
killed a balrog came back after death Gwaihir(i think) flew him from orthanc and he was saved by the eagles in the hobbit he was strong and he was gandalf the white boy if this is wrong i will cry |
this seems so obvious that i'm certain there is some trick here. :)
but I'll take the bait: Gandalf Balrog's bane, ---- obvious Came back again- ---- obvious too :) Twice aided a flight From the forces of night ---- aided the fellowship to escape from the wolves and from the Balrog Person of might ---- obvious Clad in white light. ---- obvious. |
ew we cross-posted that stinks
you're right though it almost seemed too obvious to me as well |
Right, I'll go for the less obvious one- was it Glorfindel?
Balrog's bane- killed the Balrog he fought with on the mountain peak. Came back again- was reborn and a part of Elrond's household (though this isn't certain, that's true). Twice aided a flight, from the forces of night- he helped Frodo escape the Nazgul, and aided the escapees of Gondolin. Person of might- described as an Elf-lord of the Firstborn, who has dwelt in the Blessed Realm. Clad in white light- was shown to be 'an Elf-lord revealed in his wrath', when the Nazgul tried to cross the Bruinen, as he was a shining white figure. I doubt this is the right answer, but I must cover all contingencies! |
another reason could be Echthelion
Balrog's bane- killed Gothmog, lord of the Balrogs Came back again- the stewards of Gondor took his name, so he was kind of reborn Twice aided a flight, from the forces of night- well, back in beleriand he helped get Gondolins troops back to Gondolin and stalled aganest evil forces in the courtyard Person of might- described as an Elf-lord of the Firstborn, who has dwelt in the Blessed Realm. Clad in white light- Elf-Lord! pretty strong! |
2 people fell into the "Trap for Heffalumps" :p ...... Gandalf... far too obvious and the flight clue would be a little weak... not what you associate him with- Fingolfin is right on all counts.... Glorfindel was the one I meant - Ecthelion well I think the clues would have been too tenuous.... although I am a bit sneaky and like to be subtle, once you know the clues fit quite tidily. Incidentally, and because it bears on this... JRRT decided that Glorfindel of Gondolin and Glorfindel of Rivendell were the same and Glorfindel had been exceptionally returned to ME for a purpose... to aid Gandalf in the fight against Sauron (HoME) :D

Thanks, Mithalwen.
With foilage as dark as the night, Refused to listen to the Darker One in his plight. He fought and retreated, Bruised, but not yet beated. Created a haven, yet lost my wife, Had a daughter yet death took her life. Sundered from father and mother, He is forever separated from his brother. |
Turgon me thinks?
|
maybe even Hurin?
|
Could it be Elrond?
|
ill say fangorn it used to be so vast and prt of it fought the hobbits
seperated from its brother lost his wife the daughter is the only clue throwing me off |
I would have said Elrond but I can't explain the first 2 lines.... :confused:
|
Sauron tried to convince Gil-Galad adn Elrond to help him with his rings, but they would not lend an ear
|
Perky Ent has it! It is indeed Elrond- foilage as dark as night (Elrond had midnight hair); refused to listen to the Darker One in his plight (he and Gil-galad refused to listen to Sauron when he disguised himself as Annatar).
|
Yay! My dead giveaway was the last bit
Quote:
Faced the noble, killed the rescuer. Killed the vain, and retreated into darkness guarded by stone, and weilded a dwarfs favor. My kin saved the light, and retreated from it. Killed by the one born twice more, I ruled with a firm grip It's probably easier than I think. Have fun! |
Turin Turambar?
|
Turin? No.
|
Maeglin maybe? or one of the sons of Feanor?
|
Maeglin? Nope. And it isn't a son of Feanor either. Definitly not.
|
Are you Carcharoth?
|
Nope
|
Sauron?
|
No, but you're getting close ;)
