Well, that's what happens after being unable to guess your other riddle in that other thread.
The lines describe Turin, being the eldest cousin and Tuor the younger, upon the Pool of Ivrin where Tuor witnessed his cousins madness. Sadly, Turin did not even notice him...and as everyone knows, Turin asked Gurthang to slay him and he did, but Tuor's path was unknown at that time and nether did he know the great heights he would achieve.
Now I have to make a riddle! Have done haiku's but not riddles before...let's try this one. Hopefully wont be terribly difficult, or terrible in writing for that matter.
Older brother of my greater kin
but not diminished in legacy
I lie sleeping with the shadows
but not diminished in potency
The corrupted have defiled me
and my masters weep in their hearts
I had hoped my brother fared better
with our master's eternal art
