A spirit of Lake Evendim appears in Middle-earth Role Playing and The Lord of the Rings Online
In Middle-earth Role Playing
Linyuilë, also known as the ”Lady of the Lake” and the ”Cold Ghost,” was the water spirit of Lake Evendim.
In form and dress she resembled the Elves who migrated to Valinor, but she adopted the languages and manners of the lake's later populations. This allowed her to walk among them if she so pleased, often for weddings. She similarly attended every coronation and birth at the palace of Annúminas until its destruction.
While she often helped those in need, she was fickle and held long grudges against those who wronged her (or resembled them).[1]
In The Lord of the Rings Online
Gwindeth, the “Blue Lady of Evendim”, was a spirit who may have been the River-maiden of the Swiftbrook, a river that fed into Lake Evendim.[2][3] She dwelt in the cave Gwindethrond (S. “Gwindeth's Cave”) and had been an adviser to the Kings of Arnor.[4]
The last of the Silithair, shining adamants from the House of Fëanor, was placed into her care by Amlaith. It was retrieved at the behest of Aragorn to reforge Narsil.[5]
