[Almarëa Mordollwen]

@Tarawen has it! Éomer is the answer.

From the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Return of the King:

Stern now was Éomer's mood, and his mind clear again. He let blow the horns to rally all men to his banner that could come thither; for he thought to make a great shield-wall at the last, and stand, and fight there on foot till all fell, and do deeds of song on the fields of Pelennor ...

[Winddancer]

@Almarëa Mordollwen's got it! Hob Hayward worked at the Hay Gate at one time, thus the clue.

From "The Scouring of the Shire":

'Come along!' said Merry, recognizing one of the hobbits. 'If you don't know me, Hob Hayward, you ought to. I am Merry Brandybuck, and I should like to know what all this is about, and what a Bucklander like you is doing here. You used to be on the Hay Gate.

You're up, Alma!

[Almarëa Mordollwen]
