Well I've come up with several things...so here goes
Spoken by Elrond:
"Iarwain Ben-adar we called him, oldest and fatherless. But many another name he has since been given by other folk:Forn by the Dwarves, Orald by Northern Men, and other names beside."
Also Goldberry says "He is the Master of wood, water, and hill."

That just about says it all Yevgenia, you get the pretty bauble.
The "pretty bauble" is a euphemism for my Pseudo-Silmaril which due to a flaw in the manufacturing process, vaporize within a few moments of being awarded. Sorry, but you will just have to accept the glory of the occasion, for F’anor never left us his recipe for the making of a single Silmaril.
A funny thing about the previous question: I meant to ask the name of Tom's pony, which was Fatty Lumpkin; however I must have nodded off before I ever finished writing it.
Isengard was destroyed by whom

Romenna, originally Andunie, but they weren't allowed there anymore.
Keerect Gwindor, on both counts, except they may have been allowed, but I think they couldn't stomach the hypocrisy at court; so they got as far away from it as they could in order to respect the Valar, who now that Sauron had the ear of the King, were no longer held in esteem. Anyway, Gwindor gets the pretty bauble.
