Well, now I have this crazy idea, the answer is not a person, but the answer did belong to a person, moreover, the answer, I think, belonged to Isildur in the past and had previously belonged to Elendil. Which means that the answer is Narsil.

Therefore, it now becomes:

If you just said Yule/December/winter, I wouldn't have thought of it. But there are only that many events than involve Dunlendings.


Alright, here it goes. Hopefully it's at least a bit tricksy and not complete rubbish:


Will you take me?
I'm no beauty.


For I am marred,
My skin is scarred;
I never will
From all this heal.

Will you keep me?
I'm not strong, see.


From East to West
Many a success -
I shall list them
If you'll listen.

(Sauron coming from Mordor to Numenor)

Will you bring me?
I'm not happy.

(Not happy about Numenor downfall)

I could tell a dreadful story -
Death and darkness, fall from glory.
(Fall of Numenor)
Are they coming? No more going.
You can't watch the water flowing!
(This could also refer to coming of Eru, or maybe the fact that the Orcs are coming, and I think the second fact is more accurate. Isildur died while watching the flowing water, so he can't watch it anymore)

Will you give me?
Do not leave me!


(It was probably given to Ohtar after and later forgotten until the late
third age)
