Would people like an additional hint? Some of you are close!

[Eamila Bolger]

Is this man belonging to the Rohirrim?

I'd like to guess some more, before getting an additional hint! Especially now we are so close!

[Eldy Dunami]

13. This character is not one of the Rohirrim, but he may (or may not) be from a related people.

(I'll hold off on the additional hint for now, then. )

[Eamila Bolger]

Is this Fram, one of the Northmen and therefore ancestors of the Rohirrim, who killed Scatha the Worm? And who was disrespectful against the Dwarves when he wouldn't give them their lost treasure, but gave a necklace of dragon's teeth to them instead?

[Eldy Dunami]

@Eamila Bolger is correct! The answer is indeed Fram son of Frumgar, for the reasons you mention.

Your turn!

[Eamila Bolger]

Yay! Very nice one @Eldy Dunami, I had to dig in some information to get to that! Tyrion's F was helping me big time there!

Let's see... I am going for...

What am I?

Clue: locked up

[Elvheimdros]

Would this thing be considered precious by most people/beings/characters in Middle Earth?

[Eamila Bolger]

Wow, hard question. I am not really sure. 'Precious' might be the wrong word... and 'most' leaves a lot to argue as well. Let me say it this way:

1. This thing would probably not be considered precious by 'most' people/being/characters in Middle Earth but to many it definitely would. There are who think it is, but also who probably don't think so.

[Afird Splitax]

Is this thing locked up in the Third Age?

[Lailyn]

Nice one Ea!
Does anyone ever steal this item?

[Dwim]

Is this thing consumable?

[Eamila Bolger]

2. Yes, this thing is indeed locked up in the Third Age.
3. Yes, I guess one could say that this thing was stolen at least once.
4. No, this thing is not consumable.

[Dwim]

Was this item one of a set of similar items?

[Eamila Bolger]

5. No, this item was not one of a set of similar items.

[Elvheimdros]

I'm not sure about the rules or ethics of trying to retroactively clarify a question, but by "precious" I was thinking "valuable" rather than personal/emotional/cultural attachments - I suppose you could still have varying value across Middle Earth...

For my actual next question:

Is this thing mentioned in connection with (meddling in ) the affairs of wizards?

[Lailyn]

Was this item made by Men?

[Eamila Bolger]

@Elvhhelm that was what made me wonder what to answer ;-) In that case: Yes, it is precious/valuable!

6. This thing wasn't really mentioned in connection with the affairs of wizards.

7. This item was indeed made by men.

[Afird Splitax]

Is this item shaped like a star?

[Eamila Bolger]

8. No, this item is not shaped like a star.

[Elvheimdros]

Does this thing have its own name?

[Eamila Bolger]

9. Yes, this thing has a name of it’s own!

[Afird Splitax]

Was this thing locked up in a Mountain?

[Eamila Bolger]

10. No, this thing was not locked up in a Mountain.

[Elvheimdros]

Is this Herugrim, Theoden's sword, apparently locked away by Wormtongue?

[Eamila Bolger]

Yes! You are right, @Elvhhelm ! This is indeed Herugrim, 'locked up' in Grima's chest, where more things that had been lost were found. Therefore also my short doubt about it being stolen: of course Grima referred to the fact that the King had asked him to store it away, but the King would not have meant for him to store it with his own belongings.

Your turn!

[Elvheimdros]

Nifty!

Clue: command
Who am I?

[Eamila Bolger]

Nice!

Is this a person who acts on command?

[Elvheimdros]

1. Yes, this person is known as following orders (but is capable of thinking for themself).

[Lailyn]

Nice, Elvh!
Is this person an elf?

[Elvheimdros]

2. No, this person is not an elf.
