Ah, think I've got it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Is it Glamdring? Forged in a secret place, Gondolin, then turned up in the secret cache of William Huggins and co. Found by Gandalf, Bilbo and the Dwarves when "stone to stone returneth", ie when the Trolls were caught by the sunrise and (re)turned to stone.

The next parts of the riddle suggest Glamdring, since it was wielded by Gandalf. Possibly "Fighting the fire from shadow returning" refers to his battle with the Balrog.

And, if it's not Glamdring, it must be Sting. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
