Arossiach is on the same "longitude" as the Eastern boarders of Doriath...
Is it in Feanor's son's realms?

Is it sentient? - No
A living creature/organism? - No An object? - No Is it smaller than an elf? - No An event? - No A place? - Yes Is it in ME? - Yes West of the Misty Mtns? - Yes. In Eriador? - No Was is on the surface in the third age? - No Ummm a realm? - No, not according to Tolkien...it sort of fits the definition though.... Did dwarves, elves, or orcs create or improve it? - Way to be precise, ....hmm, well both elves and orcs were there at points, and there was some form of elvish settlement... West of Sirion? - No Tol Sirion/Tol-in-Gaurhoth? - No, Sorry Was it inhabited by the Noldor? - Yes West of the Arossiach? - Judging by the blurry little map I have, no, but I can't be entirely sure on that one.... Is it in Feanor's son's realms? - Yes...in fact, though Tolkien never calls it a realm...well, it is guarded by one of them....

Is it a "large (ish)" region? (rather than, eg a city)

I better stop for today, since it's already tomorrow, and my brain is starting to malfunction.

No...smaller region then that I believe, and the word guarded was a clue.

Very, very close, but still the wrong brother. The place I'm looking for though, is right by Himring.

Yes, he is. ...so, you have three choices left: Maglor, Amrod, or Amras for the brother....

Lothlann?
Amrod and Amras are out, since they are nowhere close to Himring - too far south. I don't know!!! Lothlann wasn't really any brother's!!!

No, not Lothlann...here's a hint, it has the brother's name in it. (and yes, you're right that Amrod and Amras are out)

Yes, it is!
I wasn't expecting it to be that difficult...did I mess up somewhere?

Ah, see I'm far more likely to remember something out of the Sil then say, LotR or TH. I've read the Sil more, and I tend to gravitate towards it and discussions of it...which reminds me that I need to go over to DA and answer some comments....
Living thing?

Living thing - not really
Object - no Sentient - in a way Undead - no You were probably confused how it's not a living thing but sentient. It's somewhat similar to, say, a forest: it's not really a living thing, but it's kind of alive... So I changed the answers to be less confusing.

Duh, of course not - the Watchers would qualify as objects, wouldn't they? Think before you type, Pitch.
Is it natural?

Object - no Sentient - in a way/you could say so Undead - no Silent Watchers - no Natural - as in, not crafted? As much as I'm tempted to confuse you all, I won't. "It" is natural.

Present in more than one age?
I was thinking the Girdle...but that wouldn't really be natural....

Connected to Elves - yes, very!! Present during the first age - yes Present in more than one age - yes The Girdle is waaaay off. This isn't that hard. "It"'s something that is at the same time physical and a concept - but only because "living creatures who can think" made it a concept by differentiating it from... others.

Connected to Elves - yes, very!! Present during the first age - yes Present in more than one age - yes Straight Road - no, it's much more "alive" The example that I gave before - a forest - is probably too much of a clue to give at the very beginning, but I couldn't think of a better one. So yes, this is another clue. Think of how a forest works, why it could be considered alive, etc...
