In the first
I was given to him by a foster mother
Though ultimately
I was meant for his blood brother

In the third
I was given to those who sought flame
Though they ultimately parted ways
Could you guess my name?

Lembas?

In the first

In the third
I was given to those who sought flame
Though they ultimately parted ways
Could you guess my name? -Galadriel gave lembas to the Fellowship of the Ring, whose goal was Mt Doom.

Yup.

Blood of two peoples made me.
He I trusted tried to undo me.
He that I hated saved me.
He that was loyal slew me.

Beleg? He trusted Mim, he was saved by Androg, whom he mistrusted, and his best friend killed him.

No. I thought someone would guess Beleg- but how would you explain the first line?

Turin then? He was born from Houses of Hador and Beor, he hated Brandir, who saved his life after he came to Brethil, and he was slain by Anglachel, which was loyal to Beleg.
