Okay, let's for a second assume that the "elven lights" were
thePhial of Galdriel.  Then either Morgul or Ungol would work.
Of course if the lights are something else, then you've got a

Damn.  This really sounds like either Bombadil or Treebeard.
Could it be wording that's causing the problem?  Anyway, if
it's none of those guys, it could be Beorn.  I know it's a
