The Riddle-Game

Forest Shepherd wrote:Ahem, I invoke the right to take that which others have abandoned!

I am the voice that calls the pack,
I am that which wilds the tame.
I belong to the rushing mountain rivers,
and the eternally frozen tundra plain.

I unsettle the meek,
and frenzy the fiercest.
The claw that cuts,
the tooth that pierces.

I am the challenger of society,
the breaker of spirits.
My voice is heard within,
by all whom hear it.

  

I want to say Winter, But maybe thats not a good idea.

I know it saves a lot of time, but sometimes these abbreviations really catch me off-guard.
I was thinking: ok, now how could any of the Hobbit films have that as a title... "Aysoyahff"

Sorry, Forest. I know acronyms can go overboard sometimes, yeah. I was referring to the A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF) series, which includes the books A Game of Thrones (AGOT), A Clash of Kings (ACOK), A Storm of Swords (ASOS), A Feast for Crows (AFFC), and A Dance with Dragons (ADWD), as well as the forthcoming The Winds of Winter (TWOW) and A Dream of Spring (ADOS). All are written by George RR Martin (GRRM), and were adapted into a TV series called Game of Thrones (GOT), which airs on the Home Box Office (HBO).

Hints:
1. If I said the author known for this, it would practically be giving away the answer.
2. Many elements of said story, or at least very well-known things about this author, are right there in the wording. (Minus the tundra bit, which was me trying to flesh it out more.)
3. Haha, these aren't really hints after all.     

Eddings? He's the only other fantasy author I can think of who talks about wolves as much as Martin. Though I might be focusing too much on the "calls the pack" part.

Is it a fantasy author, btw?

Call of the wild

Pfft, you didn't need hints Mrs. Figg.

I'm shocked you got it so fast!

shocked?   

I got big brains me.  

ok moar Tolkien stuff

whispers in the air
rumours of the fair
tales of kingdoms lost
withered with the frost
all is dead and gone
memories dry as bone
once silver bells
rang over the fells
once all was green
fit for Elven queen
alas they wandered far
under moon and star

Ok, I'm thinking something relating to Valimar because of the silver bells thing. But then the destruction of the two trees of the Valar by Ungoliant doesn't really lead to something like what this riddle seems to describe.
I mean I don't know what the answer is even supposed to be. The whispers? The place that was green? The elven queen? The "They" that wander far under moon and star?

My own personal "crabbit" over this vagueness is largely due to the fact that I don't know Tolkien well enough to even give myself a chance at solving this. However, perhaps a hint would be good to help narrow down exactly what we're supposed to be looking for here.
Thanks muchly Mrs. Figg!

Wow, a great riddle somehow got buried for more than a week.

Sort of sounds like the Rangers.

Fells ... elves ... Dorthonion ... long since destroyed ... Tol Fuin?

Now I remember why I didn't take a stab at this earlier; it's a tricksy one! {{{}}}

hint. its a place in LOTR

Its the elvish bit is confusing me- otherwise Id take a stab at it being the Barrow Downs   

nopey nope   

Mmm, is it, um, cant remember the bloody name!!!   The lost elven place where Amroth's lot set sail from?

nopey nopester

 

 

I'm wondering if 'worthy of an elven queen' means one lived there or it was just a splendiferous place.

was being the operative word

Weathertop?

 

But did an Elven queen live there or not?

colour me get with the programme    no there were Elves but not any more.
