Well, to an extent. But there's also a big dose of me overfitting - the river out of Dungortheb, for example, doesn't actually exist(!), and wouldn't fit your clue even if it did. (I was thinking of Esgalduin, I think, or possibly Mindeb).
Anyway:
this riddle hopefully won't allow multiple interpretations, except in one place where I meant it to.
The fiery fiend,
The golden band,
The faithful steed,
The sword in hand.
Call to them, and you call to me;
From my father's throne, what heights do I see?
