Hey all! Sorry it took me so long to get this up, but it took a lot more thinking than my others. This one could be very hard or very easy, good luck!
Five I am numbered In name but not in truth All the parts of me belong to me But all of them alone are not my whole
My First is the crescent moon Waning in the darkling sky My Second is an individual Though a friend rides upon his shoulders My Third does roll in the mouth But never is it eaten or drunk My Fourth and Fifth lie together And together inside do they lie
Who/what am I?

Well, at the risk of my posting another riddle, everyone seems to have left this question up to me to answer. Here is what I have:
With Barahir there went:
1. Gorlim 2.Radhruin 3. Dagnir 4. Arthad 5. Gildor 6. Belegund 7. Beren (can't forget him)

OK a little different format this time:
Child of Iluvatar I am, At Himring I dwelt, A hand I lost but twas naught, Amidst the burning rage I felt Upon myself a vow I took A curse I was bestowed Friend and foe alike I slew Thus my fate was sowed To fulfill my vow foresworn, I alone was doomed Into fire I took my prize, And by fire we were consumed.
Who am I?

Here goes!
Turin had attracted the jealousy of one Saeros, an elf, who waylaid him in the woods one day. But Turin turned the tables on Saeros, made him run naked through the woods, and fall off a cliff to his death. Witnesses brought the info to Thingol, who forgave Turin. But in shame Turin had fled Doriath, and even when Beleg tracked him down to tell him he was in the clear, Turin still would not return.

OK here's an easy one, and might be relevent considering the subject of Tolkien's newest book...
Who were the children of Hurin, and what were their ultimate fates?

OK I am in the midst of rereading the Sil right now. First, lets see which of the sons I can remember without consulting the book (since I'm allowed to do that!): Maedhros Curufin Celegorm Hmm I guess that's all I can remember. I seem to recall another C name and an M, and maybe some A's? Sheesh I just read it in the last week :/ But those three are the most famous anyway OK it was easy to find the other names. Maybe people are just too lazy? Amrod Amras Maglor Caranthir Ha! At least I was right about the letters they started with!

This is probably too simple a question, but here it is anyway:
What did Beren use to cut the Silmaril from Morgoth's crown, and who made it (the thing, not the Silmaril)?

He called himself Annatar, the Lord of Gifts. The name seems kind of presumptuous, but only Gil-galad and Elrond were suspicious of him.

OK. I'm not the greatest at asking questions, especially about the Sil, which is not my forte, but I'll give it a shot.
Thousands of years before Eowyn, a heroic woman distinguished herself in the Dagor Bragollach. Who was this woman and why is she famous?
I hope thats not too easy, but it was the best I could do.

Turin and Tuor (moral support provided by Voronwe) met at the pools.
