Riddles in the Downs

[Urwen]

I am beginning to think it might not be a person....

So -
The relic is what the speaker is guarding.
There is a moment when the speaker's tendencies are turned into a joke by people who have no idea of the speaker's true nature.

There are several elements to the riddle, several events that are referenced. If you get one of them, it will be easier to identify the speaker and the rest of the elements. So of the speaker evades you, maube tey to match a specific part of the riddle to a specific event?

So someone who is guarding an object?

Maybe Pippin. He is guarding the White Tree and he was often mocked by Gandalf for his dimwittedness.

Good thoughts generally, but still lacking the connection to specific things - e.g. specific "quest", specific mocking, and the last two lines are in fog.

You can try to solve these words, it's possible to go that way. You can also tackle the riddle from other angles. Or try different approaches simultaneously. Whichever element cracks first will lead you to the rest.
