Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
The only other answer that has all four elements listed is Gandalf. If he's not correct either, then I am drawing a blank.

Who said the answer has all four elements?

I know you're about to say "You did!", but no, I didn't. Reread the riddle and think about what it actually says.

If the riddle doesn't have four elements, then why did you include these four lines?

Are we supposed to read upwards or downwards, like in your 'grey stone' riddle?

I have a feeling we are supposed to get 4 answers, then put them together for a speaker, and THEN answer the question. But I can't get the right combination yet. Am I on the right track?

That is what you are supposed to figure out, yes. To my mind, that's the difference between riddles and trivia games: riddles are tricksy.

Oh, I liked that one. No. (It's not so much that I try not to have a style, but that I can't even remember my previous riddles well enough to form one.)
