Well, the only individuals Luthien knew that could be called 'proud' are Celegorm and her father, and none of them shares a name with anyone.
Unless.... *wanders off to check something*

I bet you don't know what I am thinking at all, for what I am thinking is a name-play of sorts.

My guess is a dead end. The possible candidate I had was never rescued.

Guesses do that sometimes. Any other thoughts?

Well, I thought about Dior and Celegorm, both being called 'Fair', but neither of them was imprisoned. Then I thought about Dior and Elured, both having sobriquets of the same meaning, but while imprisoned, Elured wasn't rescued. Then I thought about Beren, who was both humble and imprisoned, but neither of his two namesakes was prideful, and both of his namesakes are the same race as him.
I feel I am so close, but I can't see it....

Well, I had no idea about the riddle as a whole, but once Urwen got us to the right general area:
'Greycloak' is used as a name for both Luthien's dad (Thingol, Sinda-Collo in the Quenya) and Gandalf (Greyhame). Gandalf was also imprisoned in a high place, like Luthien - and rescued by his buddies Radagast and Gwaihir. It's a shame the structure of the riddle didn't let you mention that they both knew Gwaihir, come to think of it.  hS |
