You guys are narrowing in on the answer, but let me know if you'd like an additional clue. 
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

by Eamila Bolger
I would like a hint, because I cannot think of any or the men of the Edain in the First Age who meets all these criteria so I am a bit stuck :-D
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

No worries, this is a very minor character. 
This character's "return" was controversial, and was preceded by a hotly contested debate.
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 6:00 pm
by Drífa
Yes, there are many Edain in the First Age that have left and returned
Does this character have brothers?
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2020 8:36 pm
by Eldy Dunami
19. No, this character did not have any brothers.
(I might also specify that for this character's role in the story, leaving and returning are not necessarily two different things.)

Hm, does this character die at the hands of a fellow Edain?
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

by Eldy Dunami
20. No, this character did not die at the hands of a fellow Adan (my inner pedant insists on using the singular form of Edain 
).

Hm, then was it Bereg of the house of Bëor?
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2020 6:52 pm
by Eldy Dunami
@Drifa, that's correct! It was indeed Bereg, one of the leaders of the anti-Elvish discontent among the Edain at Estolad, who (unlike Amlach) led a contingent of his people back to Eriador.
Your turn!

Cool! I kind of figured it would be Bereg. Thanks!

2. Well, I am probably as old as time, but age is not relevant in this case.
I had to rethink the answer to this question, my apologies : Is this a naturally-occurring object rather than something created by artisans/builders of any race?
3. Yes, this is a naturally-occurrence object rather than something created by artisans/builders of any race.
4. Nope, I wasn't made per say.
5. No sorry, not the Long Night.

No I wasn't sure I was allowed another question or not. If so then - is this thing related to water? If not, ignore me.

The rules says that we are not allowed after we guessed, but since we are such a small group... let's just all keep guessing!
Is this thing lifeless, or living?

It could be related to water.
It is lifeless but it involves life.

It depends. Sometimes it is as short as an inch worm and other times, it can be 100 football fields long.

what
Is this ... actually a discrete object, or it is a class or set of objects, encompassing multiple different physical things within Middle-earth?
I've been absent from this thread largely because I have no idea how to parse answers like "some are bigger and some are smaller" in the context of a game where we're (presumably) trying to figure out what a specific item is.
