All hail the mighty Wrench!

Poison's son
In sunless place
Under his mother
Poison faced.

Explanation-

In Blessed Lands I came to be
Yet I left them behind
Abandoned we were
In our hour of need

Through impossible odds
We finally arrived on these shores
Where darkness dwelt

Actually, I was just kidding- but now it occurs to me that the answer might fact be Fingon's cousin Finrod.

Edit: and that was before you edited in "still a Fin", but thanks anyway.

Imrazor is indeed the answer, but you've only got part of the explanation.

So-

From the first descended
To one of the first I cleave. Family were "first settlers", and he married an Elf. ...

No. I get the reasoning, but if it was that I wouldn't have used "one of the first" to designate anyone from the second House of the Edain... and then, how does the Dragon-helm have "heirs"?

After I'd just guessed Glamdring? No.

"Cleave" is a funny word, almost a riddle in itself. "What word means its own opposite"?;)

Dear me, what a lot of weapon-themed riddles we've had lately!:eek:

Anyway-

To one of the first I cleave.
That which my name resembles
My heirs will never need.

Now, let's see... the talk of "harming" and "filling souls with fear" suggests something bad... but perhaps Urwen is being sneaky.

(Thinking aloud) Not a person. A weapon, perhaps? But why does it "disappear"?
