Fingolfin II has just left Hobbiton.
Is it Arwen? She was very beautiful and when Aragorn died, he comforted her with words? It's a feeble guess.......but you never know.

Shield Nope

That's not it, I'm afraid. You're thinking too literally. For a refresher on the types of elements which might make up a cryptic clue, have a look at my post #7 on the first page of this thread. That might help ...

ok heresa gues

im gonna say gandalf here's why
G is the first letter of the clue
G is the first letter in Gandalf
Denetor basicly thought all his words were pointless "Pointless comforting words"
Denetor...or Theoden...called him Stormcrow...which is a sad name..sad has a synonym.."Grave"
Faramir still admiired him "Beauty"

I dont suppose im right?

Good effort Morsul, but unfortunately your supposition is correct. It's not the right answer.

OK, time for a hint. To find the answer, you need to think of some comforting words and make them pointless.

well i dont get the hint really but heres my second guess
using ur hint i came up with this (its over=pointless its over but so much was lost)......so

Aragorn?
he brings comfort with an army...
from the GRAVE.....
which is beautiful because it helps end the siege of Minas Tirith.....
r hint is annoying me lol it makes little sense to me
