Ok, here's one:
Among my peers the strongest, Among my brethren the oldest. For my song I was exiled, And my deeds my Father riled. To hope no longer returning, In my endless ire burning. |

No, Faramir was not the oldest of his "brethren".

Why did you repeat the guess?

Didn't mean to.
Could it be Feanor

Not Feanor, he wasn't "exiled for his song".

Again, the answer is no. Forget Feanor and his sons.

T.D.- Half my riddle refers to him. But the answer to the riddle is a group of people he is a part of.

Token of friendship, yet of strife,
From Gondor to Rohan lies its path. Devised to save Gondor's life And spare Minas Tirith a bloodbath. |
