*Bestowing a very odd look upon Telchar*
I wonder if you might have been hinting at "Edoras", which isn't a building, it's a city... where there is an infamous Golden building. I've never heard of it referred to as "Meduseld the Golden" however, I'll hazard a guess on it [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img], guesses are free. Meduseld the Golden-Haired? Sophia

I figured someone would've got it by now. Then again, it always seems easy to the writer.
Here's a hint- the building has something to do with Sauron.

Okay, I'll restate what we know.
The word "golden" is correct. The building has something to do with Sauron. Here's another hint- think Numenor.

Aha!
Is it Armenelos the Golden-Haired? Armenelos was a city, but Sauron caused a temple to be built there.

The Temple of Armenelos the Golden-Haired it is.
(actually, because it was necessary to include the location with the building, I guess it was kind of hard)

Thanks Phantom. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
This should be a fairly easy one. Dwarven King's fortifications.

Nope. That's not the one, I'm afraid.

Surely it can't be that difficult. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
The (nick) name of a Dwarven King merged with a well-known fortification ...

Revival anyone?
This thread was my favorite, and now that I'm back in town for a while here's hoping some old friends will come back to play it with me. Instructions (and plenty of examples) are on the earlier pages of the game.
Who's up for: Beorn's river crossing at Ondolinde Sophia

Cheers. I didn't really expect to get it first time- 'A Shot in the Dark' so to speak . Hmm, let's see....
Turin's mother from the Golden Wood.

I need a clue Fin II. This puzzle is aching my brain off. For anyone else who wants to give it a shot, I'm going to post all the relevant words I could think of:
Turin's mother Morwen Eledhwen Elfsheen The Golden Wood Lorien Lothlorian Laurenindorenan Lindorinand Land of the Blossom Land of the Valley of Singing Gold Dwimordene Valley of Gold Vale of the Land of the Singers There were also Stewards Turin I & II of Gondor, but I haven't yet found their mothers' names.

Really, Sophia, you give me too much credit. It's a pretty easy question, though unfortunately not as witty as the ones posed in this thread. It kind of makes sense, but in a subtle way; almost non-existent you could say. Anyway, I'll stop babbling and give you two clues-
1.) It doesn't make sense in the conventional way that you'd expect (i.e. Thorin III Stonehelm's Deep or Carrock of the Music of Water), but rather describes a general feeling. Hard to explain, hopefully this will help more- 2.) You mentioned both parts it in your list of names.

*looks pitiful*
more clue, more clue! I don't understand what you mean by "general feeling", and I can come up with some interesting rhymes, but no real before-and-after phrase...
Help me, FinII, you're my only hope! Sophe

By general feeling, I kind of mean- hmm what do I mean? Well, what I hope I mean is that you get this 'feeling' or you sense this when you go to this place. Believe me, there are no rhymes in this answer- when I came up with it, it seemed pretty random but yeah, it kind of fits. Anyway, the second part of the answer is "Lothlorien" (or Lorien).

Like a Nazgul on Weathertop she takes a stab in the dark...
Unwilling to let this thread be re-killed and re-buried, I thought I'd put forward:
Elfsheen of Lorien? Sense, nonsense, or has Sophia missed the point?

Since FinII pmed me to say the above was right, I'll put forward a new clue.
Evil Sorcerer's home, new residence of Symbolically Immortal Father

Close, Saucy. Very close. I approve of the reincarnation of your avatar.
I'm actually looking for the name and title of the "Father", rather than his home. I meant the Evil Sorcerer's fortress as his "new residence". Sophe

Nuranar, I will give it to you, even though I was looking for Dol-Guldurin the Deathless, because I overlooked the fact that Dol-Guldur and Barad-dur were both residences of the same evil sorcerer.

OK, so it was Monday, not Thursday... and it was geology, not cs lab... but at long last I've got something. I hope this is passable - it's the first time for me to do it. And many apologies for taking so long!
The inescapable horror of the Valar
