Nope. More obvious than that.

The Fair?

No. I realize the riddle is somewhat vague, but there are descriptions that match the title holders. Can you match them to the specific individuals with your titles?

Well, I could have matched holders of 'The Old' title, but you said no to that.

Anyway, my last guess is 'The White', otherwise I'm clueless.

An oddball guess: 'Greenleaf', as the original and Fourth Age names of Mirkwood (the latter being named for the former), and in between, of an elf lad who did not have green leaves.

Also wondering about 'Lorien': the forest in Aman, the Vala, and our Lothlorien. The Vala of Dreams is only named Lorien after his home, so 'falsely' kind of applies.

Still no answer.

I was thinking about what hints can help you without giving it away. It's a title. Say it aloud if it helps.

Oh, you mean, it's not a title of a person, but rather a title of a book?

And the only book which pertains to 'three' is CoH.
