A hint? I don't give no stinkin' hints! Besides, tons of clues in there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
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.
