Very good!
You are right! It's the Elessar. It is nice that the two of us start ruling this forum as well... but when you weren't watching, someone else stole the first one from us. Okay, now seriously. For those of you who might be confused, the riddle refers to the Elessar as a thing, which was of interest for both the Kings of Edain and the High Elves (in UT, it is said that Elessar was made in Gondolin and went to Elwing and Eärendil, then there is a story of Galadriel wishing the Elessar were there). In UT there are two versions of how it came to Aragorn, one of them is that it was the original Elessar brought back from the Undying lands (where it was left by Eärendil), the other is that this Elessar is a different one made by Celebrimbor for Galadriel. And the last verses refer to Aragorn, as he had Elessar twice: he possessed the stone, and Elessar, of course, was his name by then.
TM it's your turn now.
