It's the seed-cakes. (Prepared by Bilbo for his after-supper morsel, but given in the end to the first dwarf who arrived at his home).
Over to you!

I will make a riddle, but I am not sure whether anyone would even try answering. I practically had to beg people to solve my last two.....

I have to go on an errand, and I'll make one when I get back. But please try to solve it, people. It's no fun otherwise.

This one is inspired by one of Nerwen's recent riddles.
Love for two people tore me The one I loved abandoned me Those I didn't know tried to save me My corrupted kin slew me.

Close, but no cigar. It's that person whom Gwindor loved.

But orcs slew Finduilas, and Turin slew himself.

Exactly. Orcs are corrupted Elves, hence they are corrupted kind to Finduilas (and other Elves)

Interesting. I assume this is another of your silly riddles.
If so, that fox?

And the only real couple mentioned in HoME along with an animal are Beren and Luthien, who had a son, Dior.

It is not in HOME. You had the right book to begin with. I was just joking about how it couldn't be the fox and there isn't even an obscure reference anywhere in HOME that says it was.

The Brandywine river?
I took them both - According to the talk in the beginning, some believe that she pushed him and he pulled her with him; others say he is responsible, but the true culprit is the river itself. But left their son; - well, it did Ask not of me Why this was done.

And don't ask the Brandywine why Frodo wasn't in the boat but his parents were and had to die. No doubt Frodo was just 'meant' to be orphaned and adopted by an uncle who owned a demonic piece of bling. Your turn!

Another parent-esque riddle
In the land of light I was laid to rest on that day I created a being of great might But the price was to fade away Yet I was content He would be renowned My life was spent I was laid to rest in a mound My choices I do not regret For he is someone they won't forget Even so, I sometimes wish That he has stayed in this land's bliss Alas, different was his fate Driven by his ire And now it's too late Fire shall die by fire

A beautiful poem, Urwen.
But every line screams Miriel, laid to rest in Valinor, talking of Feanor, so the answer comes very quickly (unless there is some trick or subterfuge and it's something else!)

Yes, indeed. I wanted to use 'fire died by fire' line, and I then remembered the talks I've had on discord.

Turn ye back and seek for me
South of the woodland dell Amid the dark and murksome trees Guarding the road to Hell Unfortunately, my geography is pants. Rhosgobel is near Beorn's, isn't it? A friend to all, afeared of none - no enemies I can think of Dealer in wings to those who'd fly - friend to birds and beasts A fool or wise man - either one - Radagast the Fool! / accounted one of the Wise.
