Hmm. There can't be that many battles or massacres near rivers (which would be needed for one to turn red with blood). Let's see if we can narrow it down.

What, did you think Bilbo took a pen and inkwell along to write his diary with? :D

Rent with iron from the forest's bones,
Bound by iron-slain heifer's hide,
Scarred with iron by the gander's barbs,
Stained like iron-death; who am I?

"Shepherdess" was the big opening hint here. Does anyone other than Tar-Ancalime actually interact with sheep in the Legendarium? Someone *must*, but I can't bring them to mind. Pretty much...

Volumes bound in Elder Ages,
Halfling sisters, jewelled rings,

A song in the water
