Goodness, me. I go away for a couple of days and come back to face all these tricksy questions!

Oh well, I shall do my best ...

Quote:

Is it where they found the survivor?

It's not the Misty Mountains (I'm thinking of Celebrian, but you probably have something different in mind).

Quote:

is it no mine it is a tomb

It's not Moria.

Quote:

Is it one who came back?

Hmm, this one again. Well, this time it's not Melian (who returned to Aman following the death of Thingol).

Quote:

Is it an enemy of the Enemy?

It's not Meriadoc Brandybuck.

Quote:

Is it a town in the Shire?

It's not Michel Delving.

Quote:

Does it have white horses?

Gah! I was hoping not to have to see this question again. It's not Meduseld (white horse banners).

Quote:

is it something that people came to see from afar places, but not a single man has seen it?

It's not the Master-Stone (of the Palantiri).

Quote:

Is it a steward of Gondor?

It's not Mardil Voronwe.

Quote:

is it an elvish realm?

It's not Mithlond.

I have a horrible feeling that I am going to see some of those questions again. I also have a horrible feeling that I am just staving off the inevitable, and that I will be forced to reveal the next 2 or 3 letters very soon ...

Hahaha! Yes:

Is it an enemy of the Enemy, that the Elves are glad to see?

Are you implying that Elves aren't glad to see Merry?

Evisse, you're not thinking of Mithrandir, are you? I gave him as the answer to an earlier question.

Assuming that you are not, who could it be? Malach Aradan? He spent a lot of time with Elves.

Well, it's not Malach Aradan.
