First stanza sounds like Turin to Dorlas, but the second one sounds like Eol to Turgon.....

And Eol and Turin have one thing in common: Anglachel. Turin was named after his black sword as well.

That's a pretty good linking of themes, but not right I'm afraid.

Keep going! (I promise this one doesn't have a huge error - I made particularly sure to check stanza 2 to see who the addressee was.)

Still sounds like Turin/Eol......

But based on your response, I am somewhat close.

It could be Aragorn addressing Faramir, Eowyn and Ioreth.

This is very close, and in fact names at least one correct person, though not in the correc place.

Maybe Eowyn? Though this only provides context for the first stanza.....
