Lathspell has it, it's Treebeard. Welcome precious earth bound child, we met you first in your father's songs - Earth bound = no Valinor to go to. Father's song = Eru's song and mother's smile by mountains wild, it's in this place you now belong. - Mother = Yavanna (growing things). Place you belong = Fangorn Sadly you know of all these things and remember the gardens of years gone by you know of all these things = knows the old tales, was around at the waking of elves and men and dwarves. Gardens gone by = Entwives. for you were born under silver sky to taste the land and breeze on high. silver sky = before the sun and moon, under the stars. taste the land = tree. breeze = tall tree So sing one day to all of us, the songs you learned in lost days fair, sing the song of lost days fair = Treebeards song of the list of peoples (I forget what it's called right now) bring legend to life and words to trust, with wisdom, patience and strength, all shared. This whole section referes to the war of the Ring and the help at Isengard and Helm's. [ March 15, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

Befoer you read this I just want to say: I am NOT a poet! Also, it's very easy.
In splendour I lived, in glory I died, Tilion-bright was once my guide. In defiance I came, for honour and pride, For mistrust I left, my victory denied.

The Horse Maiden has it- Fingolfin it is. Guessed on the first go, I'm ashamed of myself!

Oh no! I'm horribly at these! Oh well, this is going to be terribly easy, I'm afraid. Or will it?...yeah, it probably will.

It must be Ecthelion of the Fountain! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
"The first Eldar" part confuses me (does it mean I have to take the first letter 'E'?) but "King of beasts" >> -lion and -C- is there as "the head of Curufin". So: 'E+C+ the lion' Ecthelion of the Fountain was one of the three Ecthelions mentioned in Tolkien's writings, the other two were Ruling Stewards, fitting the line "Two wait for the King". And Ecthelion was the one who slew Gothmog, the Lord of balrogs but got mortally wounded and died too. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [ March 26, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

Yet again, Annunfuiniel, you are correct. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
The answer is Ecthelion of the Fountain for the very reasons that you stated (yes, the first of Eldar was supposed to mean 'E'). Next time, I'll have to make it more devious ... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] In the meantime, you're up.

There was another way to get Ecthelion, becasue he killed Glaurnag and then he died right after so he was vanguished

*bows* Thank you, Saucepan! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But please don't make them any more difficult or I'll loose my sleep pondering them!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I'm less than the first king but you have to guess which one if he loses the head of his land I am all that is left My inspiration came from heaven of it two were born and the other brought death to many long after I was gone.

That'll be Eol. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Eorl was the first king of Rohan and, losing the first letter of Rohan, becomes Eol. Of the two great swords that he made, Anglachel certainly brought death to many, including two who wielded it, not to mention Glaurung.

i guess i will
I fought aganest the betraying one, you know the man of skill, but i was defeated so i headed back to my old kings fortress in the deep and where with help of men, elves and dwarf we suceeded in winning the battle for our allies needed our help since they gave us the land we now stand on ~~OR~~ I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know I want to be able as days go by Always to look myself straight in the eye; i don't want to stand, with the setting sun And hate myself for things i have done. I don't want to keep on a shelf A lot of secrets about myself And fool myself, as i come and go into thinking nobody else will know the kind of man i really am; I don't want to dress myself up in sham. i want to go out with my head erect i want to deserve all man's respect And here in the struggle for fame and wealth, i want to be able to like myself i don't want to look at myself and know, that i am a bluffer, an empty show i can never hide myself from me i see what others may never see i know what others may never know who am I?
