You may not get Saucepan back, but this thread will always call me out of retirement.

I think the answer you're looking for is Arod, the horse given to Legolas by Éomer, whose name is an anagram of road.

Girl comes after everyone returns, and also known as a big tragedy

The tragedy is the Akallabêth, which is all and A.K.A returning, followed by a girl called Bêth.
