Tricksy again...

Hm. A Firestarter. Unless this is metaphorical, there aren't that many cases of fires I can think of. Minas Tirith was set on fire during the siege, and there's the pyre of Denethor. Smaug lit up Laketown and his daddy Glaurung burned a few places down I presume. Gandalf held the ring of fire and played with it occationally. The Orcs made a fire in Moria. Ghash! What else?

Then there's the gates of doom. I also thought of Gwindor and the gates of Angband here. The gates could also be the Morannon I suppose. I think the slaughter and disaster point to a first age event though, since this is we find most of the gore.

Angry too and a torch-bearer... Who in the name of Angband is angry? Tolkien's good guys aren't usually disposed to anger, are they? Feanor is angry and a metaphorical firestarter, and seems to fit some of the lines, but not all.

Ninth in line too eh? Not one of the fellowship surely, nor one of the Nazgul. Theoden was the ninth king of his line unless I'm mistaken, but he's not the one.

White from Blue... Mnemosyne mentioned the Elven Rings. There's also the White Mountains and the Blue Mountains. Gandalf once again is connected with those colours.

Bah! I give up for the time being.
