Two O's for Thorin (Welcome Back)
Three L's for Grondy, but no T or G
And no R's for The Raf Man

Vale of Willows? = Nan-Tasarion
In the willow-meads of Tasarinan I walked in the Spring.
Ah! the sight and smell of the Spring in Nan-tasarion!
And I said that was good. - from Treebeard's song found in 'The Two Towers'

Yes you are indeed correct Grondy, I chose not to go with the common name; Nan-Tasarion, and go with the more uncommon one to give spice 
But I'm glad you guessed it, as my posts were getting ridiculous to read (when I typed it) with all the [ b ] *text* [ /b ] tags on every letter that was guessed correctly or incorrectly 
Anyways, for your next puzzle Grondy, I'll go for a H please

So try:
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ (four words of 5, 6, 2, and 5 letters length respectivly.)
Sorry, there's nary an H.
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ (four words of 5, 6, 2, and 5 letters length respectivly.)
Sorry, there's nary an H.
I'd like an "R" please. Preferably LOTS of 'em.
May I have an E please ?
I'll try a T instead then
Yes, we have three (that's lots of) Rs for Meneldur and Two Es for Mellon; So now it reads:
_ _ _ E _ / R _ _ E R _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ R
Sorry,
there's nary an H nor a T. Maybe you can again guess it at the end Loss. 
May I have an I please ?
How about an "N" or two (or three or four LOL)?
Yes, we have but one N and three Rs for Meneldur and two Es and two Is for Mellon; So now it reads:
_ _ _ E N / R I _ E R _ / _ _ / _ _ _ I R
Sorry,
there's nary an H nor a T. Maybe you can again guess it at the end Loss. I think I'll have a couple of "L's" (medium rare please)
May I have a V sir ?
Yes, we have but one N and three Rs for Meneldur and three Es,two Is, and two Vs for Mellon; So now it reads:
_ E V E N / R I V E R _ / _ _ / _ _ _ I R
Sorry,
there's nary an H, an L, nor a T.Oops! I missed one of Mellons Es in my previous posts; I've fixed it here. Sorry.
I bet I know which letter is guessed next.
May I have a S please Grondy ?
SEVEN RIVERS OF OSSIR
Oooooh, my sly activities are at a halt it seems, I shoulda answered quicker
LOL! Actually I would've had it even sooner if Grondy didn't miss that other "E"!!! 
The other night I'm sitting here staring at it, when it was just E's and R's. I'm thinking "okay the middle is most likely Rivers/Riders Of/In", and NOTHING made sense for the first word except a number. But of course no number fits "_ _ _ E _". If I had that other E then Seven Rivers/Riders Of/In would've been the best possibilities. I don't recall anything anywhere in Tolkien about "Seven Riders", so I would've ruled that out. That leaves "Seven Rivers", and the only place famous for that was Ossiriand (or "Ossir" for short).
Yes, my dear Elven brother, there actually IS a method to my madness, LOL!

Yes, and I'm sorry about the omitted E; at least we got there in the end. Your turn Meneldur.
Whenever Meneldir decides to start a new game; May I please have my mandatory A please?
Oops, apparently this was my 1000th post! Yay for me!

I was just waiting for Grondy to confirm my answer.
Without further ado, here is the new puzzle:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ A _ _
Good luck!

May I have the T this time ?
I think I can see the first word but not the last... so an L if you please
I'll ask for the O and maybe I'll get lucky and get a couple more, if you please.
Well, I think this should just about do it. I have a feeling someone will guess it by tomorrow night.
E _ T H E L _ O _ / O F / T H E / F O _ _ T A _ _
E _ T H E L _ O _ / O F / T H E / F O _ _ T A _ _
May I please have a N this time ?

I hadn't a clue other than my middle O in that one. Seeing as I got three of them last time, I may as well stay with the O in the next one please.
Very good Brother Loss! Your turn. (Oh and I just noticed, YOU DID IT AGAIN, LOL! You got only one letter in the whole puzzle (L), but you swooped in for the kill at the end. 
)
May I have a "T" please, to start off your next puzzle?

Why not a W, Grondy asked himself, his fellow players, and the Loss the Great Gamer>?
How about an "N" if there happens to be one?
What about a "F" for me?
Okay, second round *ding ding ding*

Thou asketh of me, Sir Grondy, but a simple W, though not the only choice of lettering, you asketh me this nonetheless? Tis a pity that such a gesture such as this has failed your tongue:
Four O's but no W's for Grondy, (I do talk Ole English good I do )
Two T's and One N for Meneldur
One F for Thorin
but Alas! no K for dear Mellon
