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

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Were you used in the other ages as well?

[Arothir]

Likely into the Fourth Age

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Of metal and wood made, possibly human created, partly round... are you a horn? A musical instrument?

[Arothir]

I am not a musical instrument.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you a waterbucket or a rain barrel?

[Arothir]

I am not a container of any sort.

[Drífa]

Are you small enough to be moved around often?

[Arothir]

Yes, I am small enough to be moved around.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you a piece of furniture?

[Arothir]

I am not.

[Drífa]

Was the wood you made of typical wood (oak, pine, etc.)?

[Arothir]

The lore does not state the type of wood other than it was white.

[Drífa]

Seasons greetings!
Are you found in a Kingdom?

[Arothir]

Yes, though not ruled by a king prior to 3019 TA, but after that it is.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you found in Rohan?

[Arothir]

I am not.

[Drífa]

Are you the White Rod of the Stewards?

[Arothir]

I am indeed!

[Drífa]

Splendid! Thanks! The wood hint slightly threw me off until I read this passage. The rod could not have been made of metal if he could break it over his knee. I always thought it was metal.

Then Denethor leaped upon the table, and standing there wreathed in fire and smoke he took up the staff of his stewardship that lay at his feet and broke it on his knee. Casting the pieces into the blaze he bowed and laid himself on the table, clasping the palantír with both hands upon his breast. And it was said that ever after, if any man looked in that Stone, unless he had a great strength of will to turn it to other purpose, he saw only two aged hands withering in flame.

It's time for another round. Good luck!
Who am I?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you human?

[Arothir]

Are you an elf?

[Drífa]

No, I am not human, and I am not an Elf.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Okay, are you an orc?

[Arothir]

Are you a dwarf?

[Drífa]

I am an Orc.

[Arothir]

Are you named in The Hobbit?

[Drífa]

No, I am not named in the Hobbit.

[Arothir]

Are you named in The Return of the King?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you mentioned in the Silmarillion or the Lost Tales?

[Drífa]

I am not named.
No, I am not mentioned in the Silmarillion. By the Lost Tales, do you mean The Book of Lost Tales vol.1 or vol.2, Aiks?

[Chrysophylax Dives]

Are you a short black tracker orc?

[Arothir]

Do you dwell in Moria?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Drifa: I know only there is one volume. But in your case either of the two. Is your Orc mentioned in them?

[Drífa]

By gosh, the dragon has hit it square on the nose. Yes, It is a short black tracker orc I was thinking of.

...Presently two orcs came into view. One was clad in ragged brown and was armed with a bow of horn; it was of a small breed, black-skinned, with wide and snuffling nostrils: evidently a tracker of some kind... The Land of Shadow,TROTK

[Chrysophylax Dives]

I followed your trail, Dwarf. So I have never played this on the plaza. The OP says that a clue is to be provided at the start, but that seems always to have been ignored, so I shall too.

I am none too sure, to be honest. Old enough, but not too old, I'd venture. I'm not ancient in the way of Elves, Ents, and possibly Dwarves?

No, my name is not mentioned in The Hobbit.
