Is there a mountain in Rohan that symbolizes the King's power? That wouldn't be an answer, but maybe, if I'm on the right track, it will help someone unravel the riddle.

Okay, I'll guess again.
The first one, the Taniquetil? The second one, Húrin?

Was the first one the meneltarma, the mountain in the middle of Numenore that they did their thing to Iluvatar on? (its reaching, but its like the revival. Way to go, Valandil)

No - not the Meneltarma.
OK, first little clue: That first one is not a mountain or hill or tree or anything like that... it is 'man-made'. It's just a bit more obscure than some of the other things that we read about repeatedly. |

umm....elendilmir? scepter of Anuminas? (sp), crown of gondor?
Second one: Aragorn? Isildur? Elendil? oh, i know: Earnur? the "elf lord" would be Glorfindel, and the "host" would be that of Angmar

Couple hard ones, eh? This might be easier:
Wonders and signs I sometimes see, Or riddles and puzzles that Eru gives me; Trinkets and swords and things from the past, What may yet come and kings who are last. |

Youre good, Valandil, real good *runs off snickering*
