I mean specific persons - good question, Telchar, cause this makes for a good hint!

Rohan, because the Teleri people did not settle there.

I’m probably wrong…………(I think it’s also got something to do with Beleriand and Elwe Singollo)

Yeah, you're wrong, because it's not about people as a whole race but about individuals.
Elwe Singollo does indeed have something to do with it. And this is a big hint.

Lol, that's so fun, because it's actually staring you in the face. You guys are probably looking so hard that you fail to see the obvious. Think about the individuals for whom those places meant ... something. Rememebr that Rohan is the OPO.
And I could give a more specific location for Gondor: Minas Tirith.

I feel so 'one track minded...'

The only thing I can come yo with is that no kinsman of Thingol ever lived in Rohan...

Does it have anything to do with people(all related to Thingol, naturally)falling in love/getting married/etc.? Thingol and Melian in Nan Elmoth, Beren and Luthien in Neldoreth, Aragorn and Arwen in Minas Tirith, and let's see...Nobody in Rohan.
*thinks a bit*
Wait a second! Aragorn and Arwen didn't meet and fall in love in Minas Tirith! Now my answer is useless!

*yells and screams and bangs head against wall*

I'm about to take a cue from Denethor and torch myself if this isn't solved soon...

Come on, what is it? We're all stumped.

Meneltarmacil, you got it! Yeeeeah!
::jumps up and down throwing confetti above stumped barrowdowners::
Even if you got the Minas Tirith one wrong, as you yourself admited. It was Eowyn and Faramir who fell in love in Minas Tirith. You got the reason right, so it's your turn.

The easy answer would be - there was never a palantiri on Amon Hen... but that probably too simple?

Thanks guys! I did have the extra clue of it just being to do with 1 person though...

Anyway, my tolkien knowledge pales in insignificance compared to most barrow-downers', so its probably really easy, but i've given it a shot:

HELM'S DEEP
MINAS TIRITH
ISENGARD
THE SHIRE


I know two of the answers were in the last question, so please don't heckle me for lack of imagination!

This seems a bit of a stretch, but Theoden, Legolas and Gimli went to all of these locales at some point but the Shire.

They did indeed! However, good guess as it was, I'm afraid its not the answer I was thinking of. That really would have been a bit TOO similar to the last quesiton wouldn't it?

But keep trying! It's not that hard.

Is it Minas Tirith because Saruman never tried to take it over?

Isengard was given to him.
He took over the Shire.
He attempted to take over Helm's deep.

The Shire was built on land that belonged too Arnor, so when the Halfings came, the king of Arnor granted them land in return for thier allegiance, so th Shire sent some archers they never saw again... so the Shire is the odd place out becasue it beloned to Arnor, only oen htat sent aid too Arnor before its downfall and i'll think of more....

sorry, neither were what I was looking for, so here's a clue:

You could substitute Isengard for Weathertop.

let's see where that gets you!

that may be true, but still not what I want!

I thought weathertop was quite a good clue, cos there aren't many things that we know about it!

well, good luck!
