Aah nerts, I was so sure the "sleep but didn't rest" referred to Merry, Pippin and Frodo being lulled to sleep with the Old Willow being the singer. Well played.

Thanks
@Lail, the fact that this place had been built by someone of unknown race was what led me to think it was Tom B's house.
I'm going to stick with the locations theme.

Since we've reached a bit of a standstill, I'll give a clue and say that this place was home to two characters with onomatopoeic names.
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

I am not sure if this matches your clue, but is the place Ravenhill, the last place the Dwarves camped before going to the Doorstep?
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 9:42 pm
by Dwim
@Eamila Bolger, yes, the answer is indeed Ravenhill.
The two onomatopoeic characters were Roäc and Carc who both lived there.
