(cue another trip to the bookshelf) Okay, so since G55's answer is deemed incorrect, I'm going to go with 'he died a traitor, and his name has gone out in shame from among Eldar and Noldoli'. hS |

I'm still not convinced that Meglin of the BoLT-Fall of Gondolin survived to reach the fires - the story specifically says he bounced three times on the way down. But we got there in the end, so I can't quibble too much.
Okay, time for one of my all-time favourite stories: Which bad guy did Tolkien (probably) imagine got chased up this tree? And by who? ![]() It's here on Google Maps, if that's any help to you. ![]() hS |

I am imagining Tevildo, by Huan.

Alas
Google reveals nothing regarding that particular tree.

In that case, how about Melkor, who was chased by Telimektar?

Correct, though arguably you should have said Melko.
![]() I've covered both the story and the connection - and shared this picture - in a previous thread if you want to know more. ![]() Over to you. hS |

All right, so, I ask thusly:
Which 'bad guy' inflicted a cursed wound upon (at least) two characters? (Nothing to do with Silm, for once.)

This "bad guy" made up his own name. Not to be confused with a not so bad guy whose name was not likely made up by him.

I think the Kings of Numenor are a good route to take, so... how about Tar-Herunumen/Ar-Adunakhor? The true "Lord of the West" is kind of morally washy at times, but certainly not a bad guy, and he's not said to have given himself the title.

Kings of Numenor are the wrong route to take. The answer is much less obscure.
Your logic for linking Ar-Adunakjor with both sentences of the clue is on the right track.

Sauron? I am not sure whether he named himself or not, but he and Frodo were both called 'Lord of the Rings' in the books.

I am wondering now if the clue is a little too vague. I can alter it or add more hints if you find you're working with too many possibilities.

With Sauron? Seeing as he existed from the start of the First Age until the end of the Third Age... yes, I suppose you are right, the answer is somewhere in between those time points.

Then let me rephrase: is the answer in the Third Age?

List of villains in Arda
Morgoth: Feanor named him that, so not him. Sauron: You said no to this. Gothmog: No. Ungoliant: No Saruman: He fits the first part, but not the second part. You said no to Kings of Numenor. Who else is left? Well, I suppose Turin would fit.....if he were a villain.....and if anyone else shared one of the names he gave himself.....

Yes.

And not all bad guys are necessarily villains. Don't look for villains who share names with goodies. The shared aspect that I had in mind writing the clue is not the character's name.

Well, Smeagol is the bad guy who technically named himself, Gollum Gollum. And his friend and 'good counterpart' was Deagol.
If this one is incorrect too, then I'd appreciate a hint or two. Can't speak for Huey, though.

Gollum is a bad guy (sort of) who made up his own name. Not to be confused with Smeagol, a name used to highlight the remaining goodness (or at least not quite badness) in the character. But close enough. Over to you.

Here is a new puzzle in a form of a riddle:
I once lived in land so fair There, that which wasn't mine I had claimed I killed that land as I killed her And for that, I'll always be blamed (Long after I am dead.)

Ar-Pharazon, the land being Numenor, and "her" being Miriel?

This bad guy was once defeated by a seed-bearing structure. What was the other notable mechanism of defeat?
