Who, What, or Where, (In The Name of Arda) Am I?

[AnsonLongbottom]

Nothing defensive. I am made from wood, but I am not exactly wooden. Confusing? Trying to give you a clue...

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Yeah lol. Some kind of equipment?

[AnsonLongbottom]

Hmm not really equipment, no. Sort of the opposite of work.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Made of wood and opposite of work? Must be obvious, but it eludes me. Is it a tool then?

[AnsonLongbottom]

Not a tool. Something for leisure.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Leisure? Hmm, not what I am Middle Earth really associating with. Okay.

Eh are you a musical instrument?

[AnsonLongbottom]

Not a musical instrument, but you are getting a bit closer.

Alright Anson! Was a good guessing of the Red Book, I was forgotten the name. We had a where lastly and a what. Well we take the first version then and see what we can come up with...

[AnsonLongbottom]

Are you Hekeldi?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

No, I am not a person with this name Hekeldi. As I never heard of it, tried to find it, but failed. You know it?

[AnsonLongbottom]

Found on this chart! https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Elves

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Sorry it is not on the page. Have you misspelled it perhaps? Or is a name of the Snowelves from Forodwaith? You are puzzling me how you came by it? But my elf is not someone with the name Hekeldi, or part of a people with this name in tribal sense.

NB: I found it, crossreferenced as a quenya word. It is Heceldi, Quenya. In that sense, nay, my elf is not among the elves who remained behind in Beleriand and survived. Clever to ask You have a new question for me?

[AnsonLongbottom]

I know almost nothing of the elves and their ways! Are you one of the sea elves?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Yes, I am part of the sea-elves, who live both in Middle-Earth as in Valinor.

[AnsonLongbottom]

Are you Olwe?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Yes, I am Olwë, lord of the Falmari in Alqualondë. Good guess! Now it is up to you again. Good luck, Anson.
