Well, TM has been right all the time about one thing. The "kinsmen" refers to Noldor. Whether to only some group of them or to them all, I'll let you to figure out by yourselves...

Thinlómien · 03-28-2007, 02:07 AM

Need more hints?

Maybe Melkor "speaking" to the Noldor

You hate me, though you should love me, - of course they hate him
I killed many of you, that I see, - because of him many died
but without me
you wouldn't be
there. - this could mean two things...either Melkor is saying that without him stealing the Silmarils they would have never gotten kingdoms in Beleriand, or perhaps implying that had they not died because of him, they wouldn't have returned to Aman
I know you still look this way. - to Angband where the Silmarils were
Blame your kinsmen, I say. - Feanor and his sons for taking the oath

You're very close in some ways, TM, but you're wrong.

But it isn't that difficult since one person has already guessed this, (but doesn't want to post the answer here because he doesn't want to come up with the next riddle)...

i'm just going to go out and say... Feanor

if its right i'll explain it in next post

Thinlómien · 04-02-2007, 03:42 AM

No it's not right, but this whole thing is related to Fëanor.

Thinlómien · 04-11-2007, 02:08 AM

C'mon!

Do you need more hints?

Is it Glaurung?

You hate me,though you should love me,
I killed many of you, that I see, Don’t have to explain this part I think
but without me
you wouldn't be
there. After the last big battle the Noldor was defeated, but there defeat eventually pity’s the Valar enough to aid them against Morgoth.
I know you still look this way.
Blame your kinsmen, I say. Maybe the battle would have gone better for the Noldor if Orodreth would have send more man to help the sons of Feanor.
