Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
MAIAR: A celestial body gains direction, and the lesser ones appear
A: He shares his name with an ancient mythical kingdom, muddled up a bit
ELMO: A confused animal, but also the King's brother
GRIMBOLD: He is glum and full of courage
LINDO: Direction precedes a confused god for a keeper
IBUN: A roman numeral precedes a baked good for him
NORI: Reverse this strong metal, and he'll appear

Okay, mythical kingdoms beginning with A... Atlantis, Avalon, Albion. I can get partial matches for some of those, but none that are as firm as 'shares a name'.

...

I don't suppose you think Aragon was mythical, do you? Because that's only one letter from ARAGORN.

...

From a Legendarium perspective, Artanor (the old name for Doriath) might be considered a mythical kingdom. But... there are no direct anagrams of Artanor in my lists. :-/

That's the one, also you're forgetting the second part of the clue.

... surely it can't be ALBOIN, semi-protagonist of The Lost Road?

Ah, I thought Maiar was the answer, but couldn't find the right heavenly body. I even tried Mir, the space station! I didn't know there was a star called Maia. Learning stuff!

Is there a theme, Urwen?

1. Neither did I, until two days ago.
2. No, there wasn't a theme.
3. In honor of solve, Imma post a verse of a song:
Born in grief, raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run, let him live
But do not forget what we cannot forgive.


Over to you.
