Yuletide Elves - Latest Riddle

Visible to anyone in the world

All you know, our Merry Mottoes for Yuletide are written by Elves.

From the falling-in of the shoe trade our Elvish with-workers have turned their hands to other things of craft, and riddles are one of their most lofty skills. Though highly poetic our elves still keep hints of their Anglo-Saxon beginnings. The new-writer will better these kennings ere Yuletide is nigh.

Their latest work (only in feoh testing at this point ) is seen here-under.

Mighty am I, from foot far to flank.

Towering above others, my face and brow forbidding.

What am I?
