Riddles in the Downs

[Nerwen]

Interesting. I believe the individuals referenced are (in order) Aredhel, Glorfindel, Ecthelion, Maeglin and Tuor, making the "fateful day" the fall of Gondolin- but who is the speaker?

You already gave the answer to your own question.

Do you mean it's Gondolin itself?

Yup, that's exactly what I meant.

Now, you two, no quarrelling. The important thing to remember any one of us would have aced the original Riddle Game. Gollum wouldn't get any of these references.

Anyway-

I embrace you;
Come, we must hurry less they chase you,
Come, where the running waters race you.
Though my fragrance may torment you
Everlastingly, I've sent you
On to where your fate awaits you.

Nope.
