A tough one? Allright, you asked for it.
The Second and Third Kinslayings: Give the location for each Kinslaying, who attacked who, and what was the outcome (of these Kinslayings) for at least 9 of the following characters/items: The sons of Feanor (any of the 7 count as their own), Elwing, Dior, Nimloth, Dior's sons, Elrond, Elros, the Silmaril, the Nauglamir, and the Ring of Barahir?
Good luck. The first to get 9 gets to ask the next question.

Turin/Turambar, Urwen/Lalaith, and Nienor/Niniel.
Turin, after slaying Glaurung, scorching his hand, finding out about his sister Nienor's death, and slaying Brandir, he threw himself on his black sword. Ultimately he ended up in Valinor with his sister, and was prophecied to deliver the deathblow to Morgoth at the final battle, thereby avenging his family and the race of Men.
Urwen died when a plague came over Hithlum from Angband, called the Evil Breath. Turin also fell ill to this, but survived.
Nienor lost her memory and wedded her brother, after regaining that memory from a dying Glaurung she threw herself with her unborn child into the river Taeglin at the ravine of Cabed-en-Aras. She was reunited with her brother in Valinor, where both their sorrows were washed away in the bath of flame.

Birds? Eagles in particular? Just guessing from faint memory. Though I really should know this stuff.

Had this idea for a while, and now that I'm putting it down in words, it doesn't seem so good... but eh.
I am ancient and mighty, and have seen many ages of the world. I am neither friend nor foe, nor have I served them, but many lives would not be the same without me. I have travelled all my life yet my life has been much longer than the journey. My parents' journeys ended where mine began. I once held value but it was taken from me, and I never had it again. But it crossed my road many times, and accompanied me to my fall, before crossing me for the last time. I have taken lives and seen many more end, but am still held in awe and wonder, and my paths have been fought over many times. I am watched over by stone and many times overcome, but never stopped. I have seen darkness come and go on every side but could never be tamed.
I change and am renewed many times, but still remain the same. Who/What am I?

Very well, too rash on my account. I'll a bit closer to the riddle now and go with Nob, Butterbur's hobbit-servant on that particular evening.

Yeah, kinda figured I wouldn't get away with that answer. The exact riddle confuses me as to which answer to choose, but that's probably the point.
I'll go with Butterbur. This time.

I'd be thinking of Barliman Butterbur, the Prancing Pony, and anything concerning this particular innkeeper.

I'll go with Iluvatar for my last guess of the day.
Goodnight!

The One Ring, halfburied on the bottom of the Anduin, until uncovered by Deagol Smeagol was unaware of it?
