I am surely above the water in the Third Age.
No, I am not inhabited by humans.
No, I am not inhabited by elves.
No, I am neither inhabited by dwarves.
Sorry, neither by Orcs or their descendents.
I don't know if I am mentioned in all three books of Lotr, possibly someone mentions me? (Pretty broad question) :shrug: But I am mentioned somewhere within the Legendarium.
Sorry, there are no Huorns or Ents found at where I am.
Just call me Aiks or Aikári. Notify is off.
Find me stuff in Gondolin.

Depends on which map... on some it appears and on others not. But if you refer to the one of the Third Age lands, not.

But yes it is an inhabited location that exists through all eras.

I grant this is going to be a stretch given we don't know his or Goldberry's true nature, but are you the House of Tom Bombadil?

Arothir: How could you guess? *g* Bingo. Lovely location not? :tongue: Their house is pretty cute in the woods. I count them as Valar or Ainur. True the true status is not known really, but the deduction of the Ring that has no influence say much as so. I think this would be the same if Manwe had the Ring in his hands. It is Maia product of creation after all. That is my approach on the matter. :nod: Go ahead, your turn again and thanks for the questions. :thumbs:

Wow, Arothir! Good guess! I would have never guessed Tom's house because one of the responses to your question from Aiks was:
Aikári Salmarinian wrote: Thu Jun 12, 2025 10:10 am Yes, any of the Valar inhabits me.
- which is not a fact.

If you wish to count Tom as a Valar, that is your right, but the bottom line is, there is nowhere in Tolkien's work that states that Tom was a Valar who lived in a house a short distance east of the Old Forest in Middle-earth. Tolkien himself dismissed questions regarding Tom Bombadil, as I am sure you are aware, and never stated that he was anything other than an enigma.
Even in a mythical Age there must be some enigmas, as there always are. Tom Bombadil is one (intentionally). The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 144
I enjoy playing this game using the facts from the books and learning more about Tolkien's works. If we have to start making guesses based on assumptions, contrary to what the rules state in the original post (OP), rather than relying on facts, it makes the game unfair.

That is my two cents. Now, back to the game. :smile:
