Since we're on a new page, I'll review:

Where Am I?
Clue: Lost


Previous responses:
1. No - not mentioned in The Hobbit.
2. No - not a river.
3. Yes - this place is accessible in the Third Age.
4. No. This place can be found.

New ones:
5. Yes - it is west of Rivendell.
6. People did not live precisely at this specific location, but people dwelt nearby, so overall that is a no.

I should have asked if any member of the Fellowship passed through here on their journey to Rivendell. Ah well, I'm going to take a stab with my guess for this round...

is it Tharbad? Where Boromir lost his horse on his search for Rivendell.

Is this place on the coast or does it border the ocean?

It is not Tharbad.
It is not Annuminas.

8. I'm going to admit I struggled to find a definitive answer in the 3 texts for this game. From my research online, it appears at least part of this location was part of Arnor at some point in time.
9. Yes, this is a coastal location.

Is it the Ice Bay of Forochel, in which the Palantiri of the North were lost?

Had the hunch for a bit, but with the hobbits not passing through I was quite certain. Anyway, it seems this task falls to me again. We've had who and where; let's go for what!

What am I?
Clue: death

3. Yes, this object is made of metal. (It is not curry though)
4. Yes, this object is mentioned in the Silmarillion

Thanks Balfur!

I'm going to go with a place this time, so guess away.

Clue: storage

Well, that's a lot of guesses. But the only correct guess is the Lockholes. They were previously used as storage-tunnels before becoming a prison.

I would have to say that could be a record! :lol: I'll have to tighten my clues up...

As soon as you said Shire @Dwim, my mind immediately went to Michel Delving. I was debating the Mathom-House vs. the Lockholes, but I went with my gut since the Lockholes were mostly storage before. Haha.

Alrighty folks, a new one for you! I really hope this one stumps people.

What am I?
Clue: Noldor

@Aerlinn, It was not made by Feanor.

I will give y'all a hint and say it is a very niche object.
