1) Lossarnach (Other confused moon between defeat and a half goblin with flowers.)
2) No wooden bow edge.
3) High starts with back, before the right one river.
4) Isenmouthe (River stopped by white speaks at last note.)

Sure.

Quote:
Other confused moon
Take another word for moon, Rana, and mix it up to get arna.

Quote:
between defeat and a half goblin with flowers
Another word for defeat is loss.
Half goblin = orch without or
With flowers was the straight clue, as Lossarnach is a flowery region.
Then stick in arna between loss and ch. Lossarnach! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

As for number 3, High is the straight clue. Think of a prefix meaning back, and I think you'll find it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Look in the Silmarillion, especially in the index where it gives you the meaning of the names and the characteristics of the main characters. A couple of them are quite easy actually.

I'll give you a hint for number 1: He was a very famous wanderer.

For some odd reason I think number 1 is Beren. No idea why, though.

I think that it would be helpful all round if the person giving the answer or (if they cannot) the question-setter could explain the answers when they are not obvious.

First, I thought it was Curufin, and heroic archer referred to was Derufin. But I was mistaken, so I went for Duilin. The first person that came to my mind that has either half of Duilin is Arvedui. So, I stabbed wildly and I posted my answer.

1. Tuor?

3. Argonath?

4. Bilbo?
