I am not the river bed where the Ring was.
I could be cold, I suppose.

You are not water, but are underwater. Strange.
Are you made of stone?

Where am I?
Anyway, are you on Valinor or Tol Eressëa?
No, I am not on Valinor or Tol Eressëa. Would you consider that two guesses in one?
Anyway, the current question: are you underground?
Are you above water in the Third Age?
I am not underground.
I am not above water in the Third Age.
Are you above water in the First Age?
Are you a tower?
I am above water in the First Age.
I am not a tower.
Are you one of those bits of land that gets smashed up in the Great Battle at the end of the First Age?
Were you a spot ruled by the Noldor?
Are you a piece of land where the elves of Lord Cirdan live in the First Age?
No, not that I have read.
As far as I have read, I am not a spot ruled by the Noldor.
No, I am not a piece of land where the elves of Lord Cirdan lived.

I guessed Númenor and then deleted because that was not above water in the First Age because it did not then exist.
Hmmmm. Let's get clear on the basics.
Are you one of those bits of land that gets smashed up in the Great Battle at the end of the First Age?

I have never read that I was one of those bits of land that got smashed up in the Great Battle at the end of the First Age.
~~~~~
I am not above water in the Third Age.
I have never read that Melkor or one of his lieutenants ruled me, but they may have.
~~~~~
Why is it strange that I am not water? I am not above water in the Third Age. I am above water in the First Age.
Yes, I am made of stone.

I got confused and thought you were underwater in both First and Third Ages.
I don't have a question yet because I still feel confused.

Ah, just a sec,
@Istya . My apologies for not making it more explicit. My post was to state that:
Yes, I am in the north-west of Middle-earth.
Yes, I am a settlement.
Yes, I am in Beleriand.
Beleriand was not where I was. I am still looking for where I am. Please keep guessing.

Are you Vinyamar (first recorded Noldor stone construction after they had returned to the Great Lands - or so I read on Tolkien Gateway)?
Btw, does anyone else find the new format on Tolkien Gateway a bit annoying? Things are always popping up as I read.

No.
I am not by the sea.
But Turgon remembered the city set upon a hill, Tirion the fair with its tower
and tree, and he found not what he sought, but returned to Nevrast, and sat in
peace in Vinyamar by the shores of the sea. The Silmarillion, Of The Return Of The Noldor
I believe Vinyamar, the house of Turgon, was ruled by a Noldor. And it was by the sea.
I am not Vinyamar.
I have had no problems with Tolkien Gateway. I have been having trouble with the Plaza. When I attempt to post, it logs me out, and I lose everything I have typed. It is frustrating when one has to dash to the mines.

@Chrysophylax Dives asked if I was made of stone a few posts up, and I said, yes, I am.
In The Silmarillion, Estolad is a green and fertile land.
No, I am not Estolad.
