    Yikes a real brain bender for me! The only answer I can think of is Manwë. One of the great spirits, and his domain is the air I believe. Probably way off though...

    Well, that's a relief. I was running out of ideas.

    Okay let's try this one.

    A diminished form of a multi-paged communication in print form published at a regular frequency often featuring high definition images which may serve as a venue for budding creators in combination with accumulated facts, traditions, and beliefs about a particular subject.

    Okay the only thing I can think of is the Red Book of Westmarch. It's probably way off though. This is a tough one for sure.

    Wow I was not expecting this to be so difficult.

    Anyway, here's a hint to keep things going...

    Though the description is of a publication, the answer is the name of a character... not a book.

    Have to admit this one has me baffled but good! Of course that's not exactly a hard thing to do...
