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

[Arothir]

It is not explicitly stated, but I do not believe so.

[Chrysophylax Dives]

This is nicely obscure. Hmmmm.

Are you mentioned in 'The Lord of the Rings'?

[Drífa]

Are you a male?

[Arothir]

I am mentioned by name in the Lord of the Rings.

I am a male.

[Chrysophylax Dives]

Are you mentioned in a song in The Lord of the Rings?

[Arothir]

I am not.

[Drífa]

Are you Durin III?

[Arothir]

I am not

[Drífa]

You are a male, but not to a House of the Edain. So you are not a Man. You are not a rotten person (evil?). So you are not an Orc, Goblin, Troll, Dragon, etc. You are not a Hobbit. You are not immortal. So you are not an Elf or an Ainur. Am I missing something?

Are you a Dwarf?

[Arothir]

I am a dwarf. (I must note that I struggled to resist the urge to follow up with "and I'm digging a hole.")

[Drífa]

I listened to Diggy Diggy Hole.

I always thought of Tolkien's dwarves as more noble—even the ones who worked the mines. I never understood why they became stinky, rude, brawling goons in the movies and modern culture.

Are you Narvi?

[Arothir]

I am not Narvi.

I cannot quite put my finger on it as to why, but I think pop culture kind of Flanderized them and distilled them down more into the pop culture dwarves of today.

[Drífa]

Bah! I misread one of your answers, thinking you lived in the Second Age.
Are you Telchar?

[Arothir]

I am indeed Telchar!

Slowly Aragorn unbuckled his belt and himself set his sword upright against the wall. ‘Here I set it,’ he said; ‘but I command you not to touch it, nor to permit any other to lay hand on it. In this Elvish sheath dwells the Blade that was Broken and has been made again. Telchar first wrought it in the deeps of time. Death shall come to any man that draws Elendil’s sword save Elendil’s heir.’

[Drífa]

Yeah, that is the quote. Thanks!

What am I?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you alive?

[Arothir]

Are you made by elves?

[Drífa]

I am not alive.
Yes, by an elf.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you elven food or drink?

[Arothir]

Are you made of metal?

[Drífa]

I am not food or drink.
I am made of metal.

[Arothir]

Are you a weapon?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you furniture?

[Drífa]

Nope, not a weapon or furniture.

[Arothir]

Are you armor?

[Drífa]

No, I am not armour.

[Arothir]

Are you jewelry?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Are you am iron part of something?

[Drífa]

No, I am not jewelry, nor am I an iron part of something.

[Arothir]

Were you made in Aman?

[Drífa]

It does not state where I was made, but probably not Aman.

[Arothir]

Were you made by the Noldor?

[Drífa]

Technically, yes.

[Arothir]

Were you made in the First Age?

[Drífa]

I have not read that it wasn't, but I do not think so.

[Arothir]

Were you made by Celebrimbor?

[Drífa]

Perhaps it does not state him directly, so I can not say yes.

[Arothir]

Are you made of wood as well as metal?

[Drífa]

No, I am not made of wood as well as metal.

[Arothir]

Are you made of any other material alongside metal?

[Drífa]

No, I am not.

[Arothir]

Are you made prior to the Third Age?

[Drífa]

Regarding your question, 'Are you made of any other material alongside metal?' I should say no, not that I am aware of.

Yes, I am made before the Third Age.

[Arothir]

Are you named in The Lord of the Rings?

[Drífa]

Yes, I am in TLOTR.

[Arothir]

Are you made in the First Age?

[Drífa]

I have not read that it was made in the First Age.

[Arothir]

Are you meant to be worn?

[Drífa]

Well, no, but it might be possible as an accessory.

[Arothir]

Were you given as a gift?
