Er, just wondering: is "Sauronman" supposed to be Sauron or Saruman? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

LOL! Well, since I'm neither Sauron nor Saruman, I suppose it doesn't matter.

Is it Melkor?

He chose his own destruction already during the Music of the Ainur.
His name means 'He Who Arises In Might', so that would serve him better.

Silmaril

I'm going to say Gelmir of Angrod.
He went to Nargothrond with Arminas to warn Orodreth of "a great mustering of orcs and evil creatures". Turin spoke against him and Nargothrond was taken. The other Gelmir lived IN Nargothrond and was killed to provoke the defenders of Eithel Sirion. The stunt was very effective. Much more so than the warnings of the first Gelmir. thus...

Turin Turambar chose his own destruction by not going after Finduilas, and Turin I of Gondor's reign was very peaceful, which would have served Turambar much better.

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Ah, Finwe, you beat me to it. I just pulled out my copy of the Silm and was going to edit that in. Though mine was more along the lines of Turin under the name Mormegil, falling on his sword.....I imagine that you are correct, which is for the best as I could never have thought up another Who Am I? to post.

I think we need a clue right now! At least tell us in what age he/she lived. That would probably help a great deal.

No, I have a rather different clue in mind. The namesake referred to is an object.

All right, so this person chose his/her own destruction (not death) and his/her namesake was an object that could have helped them.

It is indeed Ultimate Joe.

I chose my own destruction- Melian offered Beleg his choice of weapons when he left to seek for Turin. Beleg chose Anglachel, which eventually was the sword that slew him.

My namesake would have served me better.- His surname is Cuthalion, the Strong Bow... perhaps a better choice of weapon.

Sure!

Loved by The Master- Master of Doom, that“s Turin
killed by The Father- of Dragons, that“s Glaurung, he destroyed Nargothrond and killed Finduilas
buried in The Hill- Haudh-en-Arwen, a hill, that“s her grave
daughter of The Second- her fathr is Orodeth, second in the line of Finarfin

I liked it! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Ah-hah. I was thinking only that she had been killed by the orcs who captured her. I'll try to remember to look at other connections next time. Btw, wasn't she buried in the haudh-en Elleth? The Haudh-en-Arwen was the burial place of Haleth, I believe. It was an excellent riddle, though.

My guess is from The Hobbit:
Perhaps Bard? Stunted meaning Dwarves, of course, as they felt the dragon's treasure to be entirely theirs, thus making any other claim false. Then of course there was the Arkenstone, which was, in a sense, stolen.

I would say Fram, who slew the dragon Scatha, inherited his treasure which was largely Dwarvish in origin, and was promptly killed by the Dwarves for his trouble.

Thank you, Gil-Galad. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I ruled for a time
In the place of a king
And made up lost time
