Saeros, it is!

Quote:

Now one there was in Doriath, of the people of the Nandor, high in the counsels of the King; Saeros was his name. . . [H]e taunted him. . .Then Turin in great anger took up a drinking-vessel, and cast it at Saeros; and he was grievously hurt (perhaps broken teeth?).

*************

Then Saeros fleeing in terror before him fell into the chasm of a stream, and his body was broken (body including neck?) on a great rock in the water.

-From the Tale of Turin Turambar, modifications by, of course, yours truly.

. . . could be found in Narn i Hîn Húrin, in the Unfinished Tales.

Nonetheless, you are correct!

My copy of UT is at my parents house. A serious impediment for me.

Divider of the Great who eases the crossing and must be well protected.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-26-2005, 09:16 PM

Sirion?

Divider of the Great: It divided Beleriand (the Great Land of the First Age of the Sun) in two?

Eases the crossing: Errrrrrrrr . . .

Must be well protected: In it is one of passes through Beleriand that Morgoth wanted to take, so it was well protected--until Bragollach, that is.

Nope.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-27-2005, 07:12 PM

Clues?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-27-2005, 07:15 PM

Alright, what I am looking for does (this time

) begin with an S, however, it is the lesser known name of the thing in question. And I don't think I'm overstepping by saying it is a Geographical Feature.

Can't tell you much more without blowing it.

Anyone?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-07-2005, 06:39 AM

Lúthien?

Being endowed with a high power

She is half-Ainu.

But helpless to the hands of fate

Tied to Beren.

Enriched the lore

Uh . . .

Awakened hate

Awakened the Oath of Fëanor through the Quest of the Silmaril, which was done for her.

Was granted love in final hour.

She died and rescued Beren before he was sent away.
