Unfinished Tales?
Wait - are we in Cirion and Eorl here? Gondor summoned the Rohirrim through a combination of the Red Arrow and the beacons, which were lit by fire, so that could explain the second stanza. And Gondor gave up a huge chunk of land to the Rohirrim, which could be the price of the third.
As for the 'Second House' business... it looks like Cirion is actually in the second line of the House of the Stewards: the ninth steward died without a son, so the stewardship passed to his sister's line.
So I'm thinking Eorl to Cirion, upon Halifirien.
