I’ve never seen this one before, and I don’t see it on Bobbins or the ME Wiki:
Named in Numenorean form
he led seven hundred into the besieging storm.
A mighty warrior on field and before gate,
Prince he, his daughter king-wed by fate.
Any thoughts?
Hail Harbquill!
A FP Foe, Noldo G11?
Anyway, it took a bit of looking… Ask’ed Jeeves the Riddle pointed me towards the Tolkien Gateway.
Look towards the Numenor Kings. It is a Riddle after all.
My interpretation based upon the One Ring is Tar-Elendil:
During Tar-Elendil’s reign, Vëantur, the Captain of the King’s Ships, became the first Númenórean to return to Middle-earth. In the year 600 of the Second Age, he arrived at the Grey Havens with his ship Entulessë, and met Ereinion Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor. Vëantur’s daughter, Almarian, wedded Tar-Meneldur, and their child Aldarion inherited his grandfather’s love of the sea.
Tar-Elendil had three children: two daughters, Silmariën and Isilmë; and one son, Írimon. Silmariën was the eldest child, but because of the law of agnatic primogeniture that existed in Númenor at that time, Írimon inherited the Sceptre and ruled as Tar-Meneldur. Silmariën became important in her own right as the link of the Lords of Andúnië to the royal house; her son was Valandil, the first Lord. For an unknown reason, Tar-Elendil also passed the Ring of Barahir down to Silmariën instead of his son. This choice, over many generations, allowed Aragorn to bear this heirloom during his coronation at the end of the War of the Ring.
TTFN Ale Drinker.
I think “Imrahil” more likely
Named in Numenorean form(1)
he led seven hundred into the besieging storm.(2)
A mighty warrior on field(3) and before gate,(4)
Prince(5) he, his daughter king-wed by fate.(6 )
(1) The name Imrahil is said to be of Numenorean origin, though its exact meaning is uncertain.
(2)He came to Minas Tirith just before the siege with a company of knights and seven hundred men at arms.
(3) He fought in the Battle of Pelennor Fields.
(4) He fought in the Battle of Morannon.
(5) He was Prince of Dol Amroth.
(6) His daughter, Lothiriel, wed Eomer, King of Rohan.
Caradoc - Your answer matches what I’ve gotten from a couple other people, so 3rd time’s a charm, as far as I’m concerned.
Ale - Yeah, I’m Noldo in Game 11. I was surprised that Y’all challenged my boy Frito last turn. Even more surprised that you won. He had a 125 chal rank.
Well seeing as you had the Curse Boys in town I guess DL thought that Feagwath was dead anyway! A Challenge Vs a Pesky Agent (Bored of The Rings char) was the way to go!!!
Just by way of closing this up: Imrahil was the correct answer.
