Goldberry was the One Ring's first name, and she dumped Tom Bombadil after he gave up immortality. This was because Rings can't live with mortals, and now Tom was mortal. Tom did not see the logic in this, and died of a broken heart and broken leg several years later. To this day, if in Middle-Earth one is called a "Goldberry", it is synonomous with our 'maneater'.
Who is Imrahil? (no really, who is he?)
