Okay, this is an odd question...
Arien is to Morgoth as Sam is to ________

She couldn't bear the light of the star-glass, just as Morgoth could bear the light of the sun.

Good, you're on the right track, but in that case I would have said "star-glass", not Sam...

Then it does look very strange and hard to make it fit to make sense. I can only think about Snaga

Okay, but that is only half of it but anyway the thread is yours. I was also thinking about the aspect that Morgoth was afraid of Arien, even though he was more powerful and she was, and in the same manner we could maybe say that Snaga was more powerful than Sam was. (Okay, it depends on how we define power. In fact, Sam would probably be more powerful in many ways.) But yes anyway, please take the thread.

Maybe Brandir.
Just as Saruman was the real master of the Men, although officially it was Lotho so did the Haladin no longer give heed to Brandir, but actually listened to Túrin.

No, no, not exactly. The matter with Saruman and Lotho was more complicated than between Túrin and Brandir, the similarity in this aspect is not very good. Try again.

Forweg the Outlaw. Turin killed him, and then ruled the fellowship of outlaws himself, similar to the way Saruman had Lotho killed before he took control of the Shire.

Ok, so Tol Morwen was left there after Beleriand sunk, meaning that I must find an island that remained after Numenor was destroyed.
Aha, the Isle of Meletrama, although this seems to rather be a myth amongst Dúnedain rather than a real place.

Nice to see this thread revived!
I'd have to guess it's Ar-Pharazon. Both he and Castamir usurped the throne of Númenor/Gondor from the rightful ruler Eldacar/Miriel.

I'd have to say Frodo Baggins.
The links are: Beren - Saruman - Mouth of Sauron - Isengard Frodo - Lobelia - Lotho - Bag End The order both times is: Rightful owner - rightful new owner - unrightful new or possible new owner - place of interest.

Perfect, agreed. Just for your interest, I would have accepted also one different solution of the riddle, which would be Argeleb II. (if we took Lotho's rulership as over the whole Shire, and here the unlawful ownership would be even more strongly underlined). But well done!
I should also say, funnily enough, when I was making this question, I was considering at one point to write an untraditional riddle with several blank gaps to fill (like: Beren - X - X / X - Lobelia - Lotho), and your links are basically the copy of that ![]()
