Question Sorry, Erenor.

I have to beg all your pardon, as the puzzle was constructed quite hastily. I shall give a better version of it.

A rare jewel well followed by beginning in every name.

Something ending with -ien, that much I can make out. But the rest is dizzy.

Thumbs up Mithalwen, you got it!

Silmarien it is!

A rare jewel well = Silmaril - il (sounds like "ill", something you're not if you're well).

The thread is thine, Wandering Wraith.

No that is absolutely perfect.... Couldn't resist since one of the first things my mother taught me about cryptic crosswords was that a flower was a river ....

Try another meaning of "light".

well light can be light in weight, as well as illumination (both either in literal or metaphorical senses). It can be a verb or a noun....

Syntactically it may either stand alone or refer to goblin alone or goblin could relate to home or all may be linked... hmm..... I can't help thinking that the use of goblin is significant since other than in "the Hobbit" Orc is the more common term.
So I had wondered if it might be Gondolin since I have an anagram obsession and it contains the letters of goblin "light" of one letter... but all this thinking aloud (and realising it is home not city ...) has given another idea

Light goblin home- Aglarond? The glittering caves. Goblins live in caves cos most of them can't stand the light and Aglar means shining with light?

The Eye I'm sorry Mithalwen.

Your only shots that scratched the target were:

Quote:

Yes, it is light as in "not heavy."

Quote:

Ja, it is in The Hobbit.

Eye I do believe that I have it ...

Gram?

Sounds like gramme, which is a measure of weight - a single gramme not being particularly heavy.

And Mount Gram was a home to Goblins.

Thumbs up Well, Saucie.

"Gramme" is "Gram" to Americans.

So, yes, I was thinking of that. The thread is thine.

Thanks Nilp.

Two countries separated by a common language.

Here's the next one:

Master gunner does not hesitate by lake.

Fairly straightforward ...

Thumbs up

Sorry.

The gunner (BOMBADIER) does not hesitate (say "ER"); rather, he stands by an L(ake).

Very clever. The clue, I mean.

Bumping up becasue I am still puzzling over it.... but haven't got very far (evidently) .....

Cannot even decide if I am looking for a jewel or an outlaw (though either, to me suggests I am looking for something from the Silmarillion and there is a suggestion of letters in reverse order .... but I am not sure that I am like Butterbur in being able to see through brick walls given time .... so Master of Doom ... are any of the trees I am barking up of the correct species?

You're on the right track - "translate" Jewelry promotion, run it backwards, and you'll have an outlaw from the Silmarillion.

White-Hand

Well, strictly speaking, anyone can ask a new question. But, since there have been only a few responses, it would be better to wait for Turambar to give another clue.

The answer is one of Barahir's band of 12 outlaws. "Jewely promotion" backward gives you his name.

Here are the twelve outlaws:

Beren , Baragund, Belegund, Radhruin, Dairuin, Dagnir, Ragnor, Gildor, Gorlim, Arthad, Urthel, and Hathaldir.

Eye Erendis?

Elvish woods, I hear = Eren (sounds like Eryn, Elvish for woods)
lady dwarf = Dis

The whole is Erendis, a lonely lady.

That is it..... a whole half an hour.... does that make it a good clue or a bad clue I wonder.... lol

NB Erendis means lonely lady/bride in elvish but that is probably trying too hard...

Thanks Mithalwen.

I would say that it was a good clue as it followed the usual conventions.

Next one should be fairly simple.

Wretched fellow is sad taking look around.

Taking a look can, of course, be "tour"ing, and turning around the spelling of that a bit, you get Tuor. One who took Tuor somewhere was Gelmir. When I started digging up information about Gelmir, it came back to me that the other Gelmir was indeed a wretched fellow, captured by Morgoth during the Dagor Bragollach and whose public maiming begain the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. Taking a look around while that was happening would make any wretched fellow sad.

So... is Gelmir close? Or should I give up entirely...
