Well, in the Tale of Years in the Appendices, it says 'passing of the Ringbearers and end of the Third Age.' That's what I've always assumed to be the indicator.
They have 25th March as New Year's Day in Gondor, though, once the Ring is destroyed. Confusing, eh? ... Finarfin DOES sound like someone who would drink tea, you know. ;) Fingolfin is more the lager chap, I'd say. Feanor probably had a lethal home-brew of his own making. |

I know. ;) No worries.
Isn't 8 stars? (Above Cuivienen). 4. Idril and Tuor ... Earendil ... Elros ... Aragorn. Or is it the other Minas Tirith, perhaps ... the First Age one? |

Lineage:
Elwe - Luthien - Dior - Elwing - Elros - ... - Aragorn? |
5. QUENYA, which means 'language?'

Maybe something to do with Ingwe?

I was being very precise with both the start and end points of the lineage in question. hS |
Oh, wait. Telperion to White Tree of Gondor?

11. Eye (six of his titles contain 'eye' and I counted)

1. Creation? (The Ainur).
Loving Urwen's 'eye' guess! |
5. Tongues or words, possibly in elvish?
|
Sorry: AINULINDALE for 1, which I think means creation?
(Vernacular). |

Golden treasure:
Gold rinG ? Well, it's between two GG's! |
1. ARDA? Or world?
|
Unless golden treasure is EGG, as in Bilbo's riddle. GG and an E from ... somewhere ... but written differently, (ie jumbled).
Or YOLK, the golden treasure within the same 'riddle egg' - the YOKE that might be between two horses, written differently? Ot does it occur between the 'thirty white horses' riddle and another riddle that maybe mentions a horse in one of the lines? (Although I don't think there is one). |
10. Spirit or fea? (Sent into the One Ring).

Is 13 TREES - Telperion and Laurelin, 'replaced' once to my knowledge by unmagical versions - were they 'replaced' again? (Very weighty inverted commas).
I know we've had TREE already, but there could be a cunning plan to have another, unexpected, arboreous clue! :D ... More treeishness: 2. - Many warriors had this; 3/4 is what there are 3/4 of HELM. 75% of warriors had one. 3/4 of HELM is ELM. 3/4 of the Ents in the battle at Helm's Deep were spirits who had taken the bodies of ELMS as opposed to other trees. I tried …. |

I struggled a bit with this one; if it's any help, I wanted to name Feanor and Turin as relevant warriors, but wasn't sure they were really useful. hS |
OK ... could 13 be LIGHTS? The Lamps of the Valar, replaced by the Two Trees, replaced by the Sun and Moon?
I think you're being over-generous regarding my grasp of the 3/4 aspect in clue 2! |
A bit of a random guess for 6, but - East Wind?
Also, 10. MOUTH? ^.^ |

I am beating my head over 11. The only answer that gets triggered by 6 is "Gollum's teeth". I've gone over various countable things that Sauron could have six of, down to "letters in a name" and other silly things. Could he have had 6 forms/shapes/bodies? I can't list that many *known* ones, and I guess they aren't entirely countable as he could change his shape at will in his early days and who knows how many he went through. I have a feeling that "by another title" is cue for a punny answer based on his other names... |
I can help make the clues easier. The password is 'Written symbols'.

Did Feanor write an ABC book for the Tengwar letters, and use symbols of these things because they had the right initials? :D
(Lame even by my standards). |

11. The Biggest (with his Big Bosses; I presume he had six of those.)
|
11. BODIES?
Vampire, snake, another animal I can't remember, Annatar, real Sauron pre- Akallabeth, rebuilt but maimed body in the Third Age? |
