Nice thought about Merry, but sorry, no. You've got to think of somebody way more exalted - I do mean royalty as in 'a house of kings'.
Elendil, although he wrote only that one book (that we know of), is warmer.

Ha-ha, I found it! Thing is I was concetrating on books that we know more of, such as those written by Merry, but I realised that it's not really necessary to know what the books were exactly.
As such, the answer seems to be Tar-Elendil (so that's why Elendil was so "warm"  ), of whom the following is said in the UT, The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor:Quote:

See? You don't need a palantír after all! Tar-Elendil it is. Take it away!
(Btw, you realize we two have been playing ping-pong with this thread for over a month now? I wonder where everybody else is - hopefully we haven't scared them away?!  )

Yes, you're right about the ping-pong part, but I used to have that with Legate a lot, after a while others will join in, it's always like that.
Who grabbed her spouse by the beard? I was trying to go with "its spouse" but I realised it would be pointless.

Nah, obvious! Silly me was thinking about it for several minutes, thinking who the heck could that have been, whether some Morwen or whoever (trying to figure out which Men had beards), but of course it's Goldberry.

I start suspecting that Legate is in fact Voldemort. I just happen to say his name in here and POOF! he already gives a correct answer.
