Both geographically and historically.

And of course, then neither of the answers you provided was the correct one.

i could say Hithlum... it was in the north and it was overrun eventually. it posed no threat to Morgoth what-so-ever besides covering that flank, but like i said it was over run and Easterlings populated it.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-01-2007, 03:49 AM

Yes, but it still guarded the flank and the it did what it was supposed to do. The fortress I am thinking of was never used in the way it was supposed to be used when it was built.

Well, in a Legate-like style I didn't wish to post to give you a chance.
But, then again you tried...

It's Barad Nimras, built by Finrod Felagund on a headland westward of Eglarest to warn in case Morgoth would ever attack from the ocean. As he however never did, it was never needed.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-01-2007, 12:14 PM

Of course, what else. Please continue

The Might · 12-01-2007, 02:22 PM

Well, hope this next one shall prove to be a little bit problematic:

Who sang while something blossomed?

That can be a lot of people. At least two Valier, one Maia and one Elf come to my mind. But I believe you can be referring to Yavanna and the Trees.
