hmm...Rivendell perhaps?

Nope.

Lorien?
Both idyllic places where Frodo/Aragorn will not return?

I would say Helm's Deep, because Aragorn and the Rohirrim got rescued by Gandalf just as Frodo and the other Hobbits got bailed out of the Old Forest mess by Tom Bombadil.

fanghorn?

Nope, nope and nope.

Perhaps it should have been "Just out side of the Old Forest". That may be a clue for ye.

No one having a guess?

Okay, since nobody's posted for a long time, I'll just make a bunch of random associations. Tom Bombadil's house is right outside the Old Forest... the Barrow-downs are pretty close nearby... Brandy Hall is at the entrance to the Old Forest... am I getting close? PLEASE! I'm dying to know what this one is, give another clue!

You're close. But not quite. Think of what happened BEFORE they entered the Old Forest.

!
 

The Paths of the Dead? Before Frodo enters the Old Forest, Fatty tells him he wishes he wasn't going in, and before Aragorn enters the Paths of the Dead he is told the same thing by Éomer and Théoden.

You're close, Firefoot. But not quite.

Moria?

Nope.

Here is another clue... What happened to Fatty before they went into the Old Forest?

Hmmm. Dunharrow? Fatty is left behind outside of the Old Forest to take care of Frodo's new house and Éowyn is left behind in Dunharrow to watch over Rohan (although one wanted to stay and the other didn't)...

Youre VERY close. But no.

Hornburg, then? Merry is left behind when Aragorn leaves the Hornburg, Fatty is left behind when Frodo enters the Old Forest. It's also where the warnings against the Paths of the Dead are given. And not quite the same as Helm's Deep.

Close. Think back to the begining of The Two Towers.

No one guessing?

Okay, here is another clue;

Boromir is involved.

Parth Galen?

Aragorn and Frodo both make a decision about where to go next and leave someone behind.

Good Grief! FINALY!
 

Absolutely correct Celuien! I would also have accepted Amon Hen or the Falls of Rauros.

It's all yours.

Thanks!
 

Girdle of Melian is to Doriath

as

_______ is to Rivendell.

The Ford of Bruinen? They both stopped great Evil. In the Ford's case, the Nazgûl, and the girdle stopped Orcs and other nasties.

Chestnuts, my preciouss.
 

Indeed it is. :)

All yours.

Good grief! That was quick!

Okay, here is one;

Helm's Deep is to Legolas

As

The Lonely Mountain is to ______

Good luck.

Thranduil? both him and Legolas helped other races againest an army of evil

Bilbo?
 

B is the only one of his race who fought in A?

Close, the fight has something to do with it. Bilbo IS involved, but is not the person I'm looking for.

Gandalf?

Gandalf was glad to see Bilbo "Alive after all," Legolas was glad to see Gimli on his legs after both of them disappeared during the battle.

Close, Celuien. I will say this; Gimli is involved.

?
 

Thorin Oakenshield?
Thorin left Bilbo with a curse and harsh words, and Legolas bet that he would kill more orcs than Gimli.
After their respective battles, Legolas and Thorin have gladly eaten their own words after seeing Gimli and Bilbo alive (but with a bump on the head).

Arestevana, you are correct, the thread is yours.
Take up thy stethoscope and walk

Thank you, Hookbill.

Treebeard is to Merry and Pippin
as
Eomer is to ______

Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli? A thought B were Orcs?

Correct. :)

Pray proceed...

I seem to have forgotten about this thread...
 

Sam is to Gollum

as

Théoden is to ________.

Wormtongue? Sam did not kill Gollum but took pitty of him and let him go and so did Theoden with Wormtongue.

Precisely.

So it is my turn then. Here it is:

Fingon is to ________ as Sam is to Frodo. Sorry if it is too easy, but, after all, it is my first one.

Maedhros

Sam saved Frodo in the tower and Fingon saved Maedhros

Yes, you were right, though I wanted to say that Fingon found Meadhros by singing a song just as Sam found Frodo.
