Mount Gundabad? Mount means climb, gun is firearm, and I still don't know the rest of it.

But what of the D? You get dabad. I tried AD and DA, as well as scrambles of the whole thing, but I didn't come up with anything that made sense.

[Morsul the Dark]

I'm wondering if there's
a specific clue about the D.

climb: Mount
Fire Arm: Gun
Fishy Pitch: Abad
great city: goblin city

I think the d sort of falls into place with the context of the rest
Great work on this one G55 I only guessed at the reasoning for the end bit so I hope it's right because Your answer makes sense with it.

Edit: Actually Fire Arm against fishy pitch fired upon; like Gunned? phoneticaly gund?

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Fishy pitch is dab ad - a type of fish and a sales pitch. I was thinking of changing it to "fishy notice", but that would probably not have helped much. Anyway, all such mucking about aside, Galadriel has the floor.

Thanks, Squatter. Hopefully this one isn't too muddled.

Here's my guess:

Dell = a green land
A messed up signal = a code?
There was a code machine called the Enigma, and Elgar wrote the Enigma Variations. There is no apparent link between the machine and the composer but one of the Variations was called Nimrod.

So could the exiled lady be Nimrodel?

Even if right it still leaves me wondering about "in papers"...
