Ungoliant? She waited for the right moment to deliver the fate of the Two Trees. She isn't seen until she moves, when she is like a shadow. Not sure who she killed, but it is stated that her fate is unknown even though it is suggested that she devoured herself in her last hunger.

Ungoliant is not what I had in mind. Please keep trying.

He was the fourth and last son of Isildur He was the third King of Arnor and....umm...He lived a long time ago Quote:
“Bringer of fate” could mean many things – I'm not sure how to reply to that line It can't be seen before it moves Even Gandalf has no knowledge of its origins It killed the Dwarf Oin, who was one of Bilbo's friends from his first adventure There is no news of it after it slams Moria's doors and uproots the great trees |

Here's another one.
Hero's sire. Gourmet's desire. His fate was rumored to be dire. And even though he liked to sail, drowned he was in heady ale. |

I really like your interpretation of "bringer of fate". It can mean many so many things as to be almost not a clue... but it rhymed nicely! My original rendition had it as "guardian of the gate" but, I felt that made it way too easy a riddle.

Awesome Riddle!!!!!!! Drogo Baggins is the answer. Heady Ale is A Hobbit pun for the Brandywine River (and the key to solving this very clever riddle) Who drowned in the Brandywine? Frodo's Parents! You refer to this person as "his" and "he" - Therefore Frodo's Dad: Drogo Baggins Drogo liked to eat (gourmet's desire) and died in a boating accident (sail) which by all accounts is a dire fate.

Not one of my best efforts, but I wanted to use the subject somehow...then I got tired trying to make it interesting - so you guys can just have it as it is...
My first move was to remove, This affected the fates of many. For my next feat I kept the mouths of the south at bay. Finally I gave refuge, before I was swept far away. Good luck, riddlers! |

Round moving without rest. Who/what am I?

Could it be Earendil heading to the undying lands with the silmaril to beg for the Valar's help against Morgoth. Since he sailed west, the light would be coming from the east (from the perspective of the undying lands). My other guess would still be Earendil but sailing the skies aboard vingilot after the war of wrath.

I'll need a clue before I could even hazard a guess.

It's a play on what Tolkien usually uses light to signify. And yes, this is a "middle earth" riddle
