Thought of an idea, and have just come up with this:

See if you remember me!
A friend who lent a hand:
Not a major player
Nor a farer from my land.

Didn't want the limelight
Wasn't even told!
Not a rebel, not a king,
Nor a warrior bold.

Popped in for a little while,
But then I had to go -
Have you all forgotten me?
I think you have, you know!

Nellas? Saved Turin's reputation in Doriath but he didn't evenremember his childhood friend?

Pervinca Took · 03-21-2019, 07:15 PM

Afraid not.

Fatty Bolger? Though seeing as he was arrested he was a bit of a rebel.

Pervinca Took · 03-21-2019, 08:17 PM

Close! 'Not a rebel' was to rule out Fatty, because he led a band of rebels and was put in the Lockholes for it.

Farmer Maggot, then?

Not Farmer Maggot. He didn't pop in ... they popped in to him.
