I'm looking for a specific building.

(in other words, it has a name)

*Bestowing a very odd look upon Telchar*

I wonder if you might have been hinting at "Edoras", which isn't a building, it's a city... where there is an infamous Golden building.

I've never heard of it referred to as "Meduseld the Golden" however, I'll hazard a guess on it [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img], guesses are free.

Meduseld the Golden-Haired?

Sophia

I figured someone would've got it by now. Then again, it always seems easy to the writer.

Here's a hint- the building has something to do with Sauron.

Okay, I'll restate what we know.

The word "golden" is correct. The building has something to do with Sauron.

Here's another hint- think Numenor.

The clue is-
Quote:
A building dedicated to Hador.
"Golden" is part of the answer, and the building has something to do with Sauron and Numenor.

Anyone?

Aha!

Is it Armenelos the Golden-Haired?

Armenelos was a city, but Sauron caused a temple to be built there.

The Temple of Armenelos the Golden-Haired it is.

(actually, because it was necessary to include the location with the building, I guess it was kind of hard)

Thanks Phantom. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This should be a fairly easy one.

Dwarven King's fortifications.

Surely it can't be that difficult. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The (nick) name of a Dwarven King merged with a well-known fortification ...

Revival anyone?

This thread was my favorite, and now that I'm back in town for a while here's hoping some old friends will come back to play it with me. Instructions (and plenty of examples) are on the earlier pages of the game.

Who's up for:
Beorn's river crossing at Ondolinde

Cheers. I didn't really expect to get it first time- 'A Shot in the Dark' so to speak . Hmm, let's see....
