No. The weapon in question actually disappears. As in, the majority of it ceases to exist. It is mentioned in one of Third age books.

Ah, then I think we're back to Weathertop, and it's the Morgul-blade that wounds Frodo?

Dear me, what a lot of weapon-themed riddles we've had lately!

Anyway-

From the first descended
To one of the first I cleave.
That which my name resembles
My heirs will never need.

"Cleave" is a funny word, almost a riddle in itself. "What word means its own opposite"?

Dragon-helm of Dor-Lomin?

From the first descended
To one of the first I cleave. - Maedhros, then Fingon, and then the house of Hador
That which my name resembles
My heirs will never need. - Glaurung the dragon

No. I get the reasoning, but if it was that I wouldn't have used "one of the first" to designate anyone from the second House of the Edain... and then, how does the Dragon-helm have "heirs"?

I should warn you that this one is less than serious and that the solution involves some rather silly word-play. The subject, meanwhile, isn't as well known as any of your suggestions, but has been brought up recently.

Imrazor? He pretty much cleaved to one of the first-born (Mithrellas), he descended from Beren, the first mortal to marry an Elf, and his name resembles that of Er-Murazor, a non-canon name of Witch-King.

Imrazor is indeed the answer, but you've only got part of the explanation.

So-

From the first descended
To one of the first I cleave. Family were "first settlers", and he married an Elf. Okay.

But-

That which my name resembles
My heirs will never need. -As I said, wordplay is involved. And it may be silly, but it's perfectly canonical.

What don't Imrazor's heirs need?

Edit: I'm not sure if Imrazor could trace descent from Beren or not, though I guess it's not unlikely, but what I was thinking of was that his family had settled in Middle-earth before the Downfall.

Here's another one for you

In Blessed Lands I came to be
Yet I left them behind
Abandoned we were
In our hour of need

Through impossible odds
We finally arrived on these shores
Where darkness dwelt
We won't forget

A binding oath
A promise to be kept
Those things spurred me on
To the place where darkness slept

They picked us off as time passed
They wanted to save me for last
But I couldn't let him die
So now I say goodbye

Actually, I was just kidding- but now it occurs to me that the answer might fact be Fingon's cousin Finrod.

Edit: and that was before you edited in "still a Fin", but thanks anyway.

Yes, it's Finrod, the goodiest goody-two-shoes who ever did good in Beleriand

(and the greatest wingman of the greatest couple too, but don't tell him I've said that)

Explanation-

In Blessed Lands I came to be
Yet I left them behind
Abandoned we were
In our hour of need

Through impossible odds
We finally arrived on these shores
Where darkness dwelt
We won't forget
-Flight of the Noldor, burning of the ships, passage over the Helcaraxë.

A binding oath
A promise to be kept
-The oath he swore to Barahir.
Those things spurred me on
To the place where darkness slept
-Tol-in-Gaurhoth.

They picked us off as time passed -wolves ate the prisoners one by one (just like in a certain game).
They wanted to save me for last
But I couldn't let him die
So now I say goodbye
-Finrod, left for last, killed the wolf that came for Beren but was mortally wounded.

Edit: okay, I won't, then.

Well, sunless place probably refers to Mirkwood/Moria, but as for the rest of it, nothing comes to mind.....

The only other meanings I could find are 'deadly nightshade' and 'beautiful lady'. Now, nightshade could refer to 'sunless place'

Well, then... the place in question has more than one name... and it can't be Moria, since he was never there... so...?

And what kind of poisonous threat did Bilbo encounter in Mirkwood, aka Taur-nu-Fuin, the Forest under Nightshade?

Not la familia again? Except if so they are out of order for both birth and death.

The first one - Lalaith, laughter, the happy sibling who died in childhood.

The second one - Turin, carrying the curse, who will also defeat Morgoth.

The third one - Nienor, who threw herself into Teiglin.

You replied too early.....I was in the process of scrapping that riddle.

ETA: Actually, whatever. You answered the most important part of both the scrapped version and the new version I was about to make, so you can go.

The new version, for posterity's sake:

I am the Wrestler
A prelude to defeat
To weaken the enemy
So he could be beat

I am the Champion
Of light
I will arise again
Against the darkness I will fight

I'm the Breaker
And I shall pay the cost
In order to restore
That which was lost

(If you want to solve this one as a bonus challenge, you're more than welcome to try, but the turn is yours regardless.)

Well, let's solve the new one anyway. I feel like the middle paragraph (Champion) still refers to Turin, but the other ones are less obvious.

Yes, the middle one is still Turin.
