Yey! Ok, here's your new puzzle:

I'm all alone, aloof
my companions long gone
my name stands as proof
that changes have been done.

Oh, and thank you Turambar for your compliment! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Yours is great too, somehow authentic...

Question

I'm not sure, but is it Lothlorien

I'm all alone, aloof
my companions long gone- in the fourth age the galadrim no longer life in Lothlorien

my name stands as proof
that changes have been done. - The first name of the golden wood was Laurelindorenan
In later days the elves make the name shorter, calling it Lothlorien

It is a hard one Annunfuiniel!
Is it Númenor? I can’t fit it with your verse, but it’s close to Meneltarma [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You are half way there! Yes, it's an island but no it's not Númenor.
Last hint: the place isn't what it used to be but something else has changed too...

Thumbs up

Well hooray, we have the winner! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Makes sense now does it? Himling stands quite alone surrounded by the sea, those "companions" that are gone are the other hills and mountains that were lost in the sea and T-P got the name and change part right.
So the stage is all yours, Tar Palantir! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Okely, dokely... I chopped up the Lizard King to make this one interesting for you, helps to sing it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

House upon the hill

Evil lying still

Shadows of the peaks

Witnessing the wild breeze

C'mon baby hide with me

Let's hide



The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill

Rich are the rooms and the beauty there

Strong are the arms and the family fair

And you won't know a thing till you get inside

I would say Gondolin, too.

"evil lying still" - could refere to Maeglin

"and you won´t know a thing till you get inside"
- this one fits very good into the context of Gondolin

Oh gosh, that means it's my turn again! Yeah, it's [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] but still [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] , if you know what I mean. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Yep, here we go:

A land that once was
but isn't any more
and once it bore, alas
the ones that live in lore
and in legends as well
for their fates changed
and so these two could dwell
this land 'til things arranged
and they bid world farewell

There, have fun!
