Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

Due to this being a new page, I will answer both new questions and compile the list of answered questions/hints.

@Elvheimdros, it is not said whether it was made in Middle Earth, or the Undying Lands, but it CAN be assumed it was made in Middle Earth because of who owns it.
@Boromir88, there is no reference to anyone other than a Noldor using it.

Comprehensive list of hints:
What am I?
Hint: Noldor

1. It was produced by the end of the First Age.
2. It is not specifically a weapon.
3. It is not the Feanorian Lamps.
4. It was not made by Feanor, as far as we know.
5. It is a very niche object.
6. It was made by the Noldor.
7. It is assumed to be made in Middle Earth.
8. There is no reference to any but a Noldor using it.

Is it the Mirror of Galadriel? I think that would classify as a niche object and only Galadriel is able to command it's visions.

Does this object belong to one of the high kings of the Noldor?

@Boromir88 it is not the Mirror of Galadriel, but yes it was wielded by one of the High Kings of the Noldor @Aerlinn!

Is it Turgon's staff of doom?

Well, well, well. I'll be damned. Good job @Dwim! I thought it was gonna take a little longer than that to guess it, but I suppose once the question about High Kings was asked that narrowed it down quite a bit. I'll take 11 hints/guess though. Well you're up then friend!

Nice! Thanks Ta'leus. You're right, the high kings question did narrow it down quite helpfully. And more so when you said it was "wielded".

For the new round I will try to be a bit more cryptic with my clue after my last effort.

Who Am I?
Clue: Forgotten

Would a well-read but otherwise average hobbit, in the fourth age, be likely to know who this person is or recognize their name?

1. No, a well-read but average hobbit in the fourth age would probably not know of this person.

Is this character a human?

Is this an Elf?

Are they in the Silmarillion?

2. Yes, this character was a human.
3. No, this character is not an elf.
4. No, this character is not in The Silmarillion.

Are they mentioned in the appendices?

Would this person disapprove of a lumberjack contest on who can topple the most trees in a certain amount of time?

5. No, this person is not mentioned individually in the appendices.
6. No, there is no reason to think this person would disapprove of a lumberjack contest.

Does this character converse with any of the four hobbits in the Lord of the Rings?

Does this character have a noble lineage?

7. No, this character does not converse with any of the four hobbits in The Lord of the Rings.
8. Yes, this character presumably has noble lineage.

Is this character a female?

9. No, this character is not female.

Well I can't get the very recent reading out of my head, and so it can't be the Lady Tom speaks of who formerly owned the brooch he took. Is it the Prince of Cardolan who some say died in the war with Angmar and was buried in the barrow the Barrow-wight captured the hobbits in?

Is this person alive during the events of LotR?

Does this person "directly" enter the story, or do we know of them only by references from other characters?

No, it's not the Prince of Cardolan.

10. No, this person is not technically alive during the events of The Lord of the Rings.
11. Yes, this character does directly enter the story.

Is it The King of the Dead?

Yep, that's it! Congrats @Lailorn!

I had a feeling answering that question like that could give it away. But I knew if I just said no he was not alive that it could be too misleading.

Your turn!

Ah good job @Lailorn!

Thanks, Dwim! I was trying to confirm my suspicions with my last question...

Who Am I?
Clue: Sun

Is this person mortal?

Does this person appear in the Silmarillion?

Does this person have "anar/anor" in their name?

Is this person a child of Illúvatar (Elf/Man/Hobbit)?

Did this person exist before the Sun existed?

1. Yes, they are mortal.
2. No, they do not appear in the Silmarillion.
3. No, they do not have anar/anor on their name.
4. Yes, they are a child of Illuvatar.
5. No, they did not exist before the Sun.

Does this person appear in The Lord of the Rings?

Is this character human?

6. Yes, this person is in LotR.
7. Yes, they are human.
8. Yes, there is a scene related to a rising or setting sun.

*Debates which of the Rohirrim arriving at 'dawn' could it be? Makes decision* Is it Theoden? Arriving at the Pelennor at dawn and "His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shown like an image of the Sun..."

It is not Theoden even though that is an excellent quote to support your case!

Is it Erkenbrand?

Is it Elfhelm?

Drat, I seem so close yet so far away lately. Well, I only assumed it was the Rohirrim for their habit of arriving to battles at dawn. But maybe that's wrong, so I'll ask...is this person from Rohan?

9. Yes, they are from Rohan!

But it is not Erkenbrand or Elfhelm.

Did this person fight in any of the battles at the Fords of Isen or the Battle of the Hornburg?

Is it Ceorl? They meet him at sunset.

Is it Éomer? In the third chapter of The Two Towers, Pippin first gets a glimpse of Éomer's men at sunset, but the Rohirrim do not attack the Uruk-hai until the following sunrise.

TTT, III 3 wrote:The Sun’s limb was lifted, an arc of fire, above the margin of the world. Then with a great cry the Riders charged from the East; the red light gleamed on mail and spear.

10. They did not fight at Fords of Isen or the Battle of Hornburg.

It is not Ceorl or Eomer.

Narrows it down but still leaves me with a few guesses Was this person a King of Rohan?
