Riddles in the Downs

Speaking of non-named things.....

I may be small
But I caused your fall
Something of yours I broke
With one precise stroke

(No hints for this one, even if you ask, because you already have all the hints you need. )

It's indeed the famous Wrench, from the Tale of Tuor, Maeglin and the Wrench. For the Wrench is dark and full of terrors.

(Sorry not sorry. I couldn't resist using it as the riddle answer. )

Never be sorry. It's an amazing answer, and an excellent riddle for it.

("For the wrench had been wrought by" [Rolls master-smith dice] "Eol himself, in the years of darkness ere the sun rose; and it was borne by Maeglin to the city, alone of all the tools he possessed. And until that very day it had lain in the house of that Gnome; and save for the strange mischance that let it tumble from the door even as Tuor was passing, it might have abode there still, until the flames that e'en now consumed Gondolin claimed it.")

Riddle, riddle... how about this:

In memory of my father,
And of his mother's line,
In token of my uncle's loss,
I hold you ever mine.

Though demons foul hold kin of yours,
So too shall kin of mine,
Like Sons of Earth to their own sons,
I pass you down the line.

There is a specific, named answer to this riddle, though if you can get the right concept it might help you find that answer.

Why does your riddle make me think of your theory that the Balrog of Moria has Anguirel.....?

Hah! Probably because the 'demon' line is indeed referring to a balrog, though not that balrog.
