Still no, but you're closer in time period. No, I wouldn't consider Turin a descendant of kings, and that should be a fairly important clue.

Fair point, Dragon Maiden. And welcome to the Downs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK, no riddles. But to make it a bit more challenging, I am going to make the next question quite vague. Feel free to ask questions to narrow things down - but they must be ones to which a yes or no (or don't know) answer can be given (eg Are you a Hobbit? Are you male? etc). Feel free too to guess, but I won't accept more than one guess at a time. Anyone making multiple guesses will be asked to choose just one.

So, here's the question:

I live in Mirkwood. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Are you Galion?

He was the Elven King's butler, mentioned in The Hobbit. I don't recall any other Mirkwood elves actually being named.

I am not Eotheod.

I went to Rohan, but I am not of Rohan.

Yes, I am of the race of men.

Question

It seemed fairly easy to me with the questions already asked. He was the only person I could think of that was a man that went to rohan and wasn't Aragorn. Anyway here's my try at a puzzler

I knew many secrets but few could hear me tell them.
