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. :grin:

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. :clap:

The two onomatopoeic characters were Roäc and Carc who both lived there.

You're up!
