Let's muddy the waters further with a new riddle for y'all to ponder:
Guardians to those who know them not. Lords of a realm that time has forgot. |

I really liked Rosie Gamgee's riddle from a few days back. It got me to thinking that I should try something similar. (after all, imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery). Anyway, while not as good as hers I will present this for y'all to play with:
Thirty-three weary riders at the end of the road. Closely followed by a host uncounted. Two are as one, and are bound by love. Two more are as one, and are now bound by death. Add twenty-eight more, who are bound by oaths. And one leads them all, bound by fate. editors note: I suppose y'all need to put names where the numbers are. |

If it's not a tower, how about a mountain... Celebdil perhaps?

Since y'all are so stumped by the white riddle I will give you a new one that may be easier to solve:
Portend of war, it came from afar. A malice so baleful it ate up the stars. |

Along similar lines with Chrys, I had wondered early if it was Vingilot, but wasn't sure if that met other critieria you've already hinted about it either.
