Thought of an idea, and have just come up with this:
See if you remember me! A friend who lent a hand: Not a major player Nor a farer from my land. Didn't want the limelight Wasn't even told! Not a rebel, not a king, Nor a warrior bold. Popped in for a little while, But then I had to go - Have you all forgotten me? I think you have, you know!

Fatty Bolger? Though seeing as he was arrested he was a bit of a rebel.

Close! 'Not a rebel' was to rule out Fatty, because he led a band of rebels and was put in the Lockholes for it.

Here is the riddle which I originally posted yesterday
We were there once We stood proud on our own But then darkness crept upon us And we were cast down The Great Ones created us In north and south is where we used to dwell But we didn't expect To be torn down by the powers fell

'North and south' was a big hint.
Here's another quick one: Broken, scattered, torn apart? Yet to the end the story's heart.

Time for another song-inspired riddle
Born from grief Taught to hate There is no relief For someone unable to resist his own fate Bringer of darkness Of destruction and ruin All because of madness That came from deep within

Maeglin? 'Born from grief, taught to hate' seems to cut the field down quite a lot - most of the sad parents (Rian, for instance) just sort of moped rather than explicitly raising their kids to be angry.

Correct! I was charmed by the coincidence ("There are no coincidences.") that Numenor has things named for most of the chief sources of light in Arda, and decided to make a riddle out of it. (In hindsight, I should have used Isildur and Anarion to end with 'the Sun and Moon endured'. Ah, well.

Tower - Meneltarma?
Fire - Did Ar-Pharazon burn the tree? Star - well, it's not the island itself. Water claimed that. Was the Star circlet/fillet thing lost? Light?

The Pillar is Meneltarma, the Pillar of Heaven. Sauron had the White Tree burned. And yes, the Star is Numenor itself - pretty sure an earthquake had a part in taking it out (also I didn't want to repeat Water...). Light is just the general principle that the good parts of Numenor escaped.

That's actually quite beautiful.
Speaking of which: Gone to death untimely Quite a girl of fame: Feisty, sure! And beautiful? Or is that just her name?

Well, then there is no name which incorporates both 'feisty' and 'beautiful' in it. :/
Except maybe Vana, who is immortal. And believe me, I've checked the etymology of every single name given to a female character, ever.

It doesn't need to incorporate 'feisty' - that is followed by a 'sure.' It's only 'beautiful' that is followed by a question mark.
