Yay!! I got it the general idea!! But you're killing me with specifics.. I haven't even read the Silmarillion.. but is it the elves/Ainur being pretty depressed at the destruction?

Is it Nienna mourning the deaths of the Trees after Feanor denies the Valar the Silmarils? In the book it says that she went up to where the Trees had stood and with her tears washed away the dfilements of Ungoliant.

O Evil one, am afraid that neither you nor Christiana, nor anyone else is right. Hint: I invented it.

bingo, willow.
(did you know that frodo's original name was bingo? scary.) Anyway, yes, you got it, it was Nienna weeping over the trees. But Mirahzi gets a point in my book too. So good job the both of you. Heh...hint alarms. Just like you, evil..er...ELF girl. Elf Girl: the dried althelas Aragorn used to heal Merry, Faramir and Eowyn? -tano

The river's name is Anduin, and no one has guessed my precious riddle. Hint: The "healing" is not metaphorical, but it does not heal any person.
