Good luck everyone!

Wow! Loss is coming back with a VENGEANCE. Everyone scored this time, here is the update:

N = 1 for Loss
L = 0 for Grondy
O = 3 for Mellon

Hey I just noticed...you guys asked for those letters in the same order as Lord Of The Rings, LOL!!!

AH! Could it be third time lucky for another letter?
I'll shout for a G, "GGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
I'll shout for a G, "GGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Go a head and give me three Es please. If we're lucky we might even get a clue about the second word. (I think i'm eeed out.)
Once again everyone scored: 2 F's for Mellon, 1 G for Loss, and a WHOPPING FOUR E'S for Grondy.
T _ E / _ _ _ E _ / O F / T _ E / F O R G O T T E N

There have already been four T's which yours truly has guessed and I am going to swoop down again and steal the prize but this time I'd have deserved it
The Caves of the Forgotten - The prison that Ar-Pharaz’n and his army were trapped beneath the Earth for attempting to take Aman from the Valar

Of course you did Loss..I meant H anyway ...Congrats Brother
May I please have an A in your new puzzle ?
And an N please.
Okay, try this:_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (5,2,7)
_________________________________________________________
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ A _ A N N A (5,2,7)
At the end of the first round, we have:
Three A's for Mellon
and Two N's for Grondy
End of Round One
Well how about an L or two, please?
I think I got it -- "SLEEP OF YAVANNA", the time after Melkor overthrew the Two Lamps, and Yavanna set all the plants, trees, and growing things to sleep until there was light again.
Hahaha! Well done Meneldur, I thought, "Hmm, everyone can tell that it's going to be Yavanna, but will they know the first word"......... Lo and behold! You did! So, in addition to your next puzzle I'll go for an R
Though I did think at first it was going to be Grondy

Here is the new puzzle, it's a long one. 5/3/8/5/4/2/7 = 34 letters in 7 words
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And yes that's a comma in the middle.
__________________________________________________
_ _ R _ _ / _ _ R / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ R , / _ _ R _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ R
Loss already scored 5 with the R's. Maybe I should pick a different phrase.

All right, just to show you that Grondy ain't no dummy!
Note: I looked at the last half and thought it could be 'first king of' and the last R suggested 'Numenor', and then the first R fit for 'Elros'. But I did have to go to Unfinished Tales to find his Numenorean moniker, which I knew was 'Tar-' something or other.
Elros Tar-Minyatur, First King of Numenor
But just in case, I'll wait for confirmation before posting the next one.

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!! 
Excellent detective work Grondy!! Your turn.
BTW you didn't have to go digging through UT, "Tar-Minyatur" is mentioned in a few other places: LOTR Appendix A, "Elros was the first King of N’menor, and was afterwards known by the High-Elven name Tar-Minyatur". Akallab’th, "Amandil and Elendil were great ship-captains; and they were of the line of Elros Tar-Minyatur, though not of the ruling house..." And Silmarillion appendices, family tree #2, "The descendants of Olw’ and Elw’".

Nice work Grondy, I'm glad I could help with the R's
Seems like you should put that in the list with a little star next to it or something to show the record, plus, you need to put in Sleep of Yavanna in the list too

I gotta share something funny with "Sleep of Yavanna"... With only the A's and N's filled in, the first thing that popped into my head (even before "Yavanna") was BANANA, LOL!!!

Yavanna, Yavanna, bo-banna

Yavanna!

Haha, too true... Banana Yavanna... I bet that's what the other Valar used to call her when they were at Eru's School for Creating Worlds especially Melkor... that bully....
especially Melkor... that bully....I used 'Unfinished Tales' because it has a profile for each of the Kings of N’menor and I didn't have to spend much time finding it,
So try:
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (four words of 3, 9, 2, and 7 letters length respectivly.)

I also think you know Unfinished Tales, as well as I know The Silm.

Sorry Glorifindel, you may only guess one letter per round, unless you choose to solve the whole puzzle, like Mellon has correctly done. It was the first chapter title of TTT.
Your turn Mellon
